explained, had a deep seated in

their service on committees han
ding city affairs.
One of the principal motives for
introduction of the measure, Sena-
tor Cain explained, was a series of
complaints that the cost of con-
struction now was so high that pub
lie building, even of school houses
should be postponed.
In view of the fact that the new
city supply bill carries substantial
school house construction for this
fiscal year, Senator Cain said it
was important to find out what
contributed to high costs here and
how these costs might be lowered.
Charging that Washington, like
many other communities, had an
"outmoded building CODE" Senator
Cain said it was generally recognized
that such codes increased construc-
ton costs.

Gen. Lucius D. Clay publicly crit
icized one of his highest-ranking
generals in Germany tonight for
the officers connection with the
Hesse (Kronberg) jewel theft trials.

case"
Gen. Bevans, who Is the Army's

named in the Kronberg trials as
having accepted" a silver pitcher
from Kronberg Castle just like one
Maj. David F. Watson sent to his
home in Burlingame, Calf. before
he was apprehended and sentenced
to three years in jail.
Gen. Clay believes that the evil
dence presented by the inspector
general shows Gen. Bevans to have
displayed extremely poor judy
ment," the Army announcement
said.
Gen. Clay has decided that he
will take no further action in the
case against Gen. Bevans until final
action against the principals in the
case has been taken by the United
States Government"
The allegation that Gen. Bevans
had accepted" a pitcher from Kron-
berg Castle, which the Army ran as
an officers club, was made by Col.
Jack w. Durant, who was sentenced
by a court martial to Is years i'm
prisonment for his part In the ST.

rant, Watson and Durant's wife, the

Representative Koran, Repub-
lican, of Washington has
launched a personal campaign
among civic and business leaders
here for enactment of city
sales tax.
, In letter mailed to scores" Of
prominent citizens, Mr.. Koran de-
clared the growing needs of the
city could not be met adequately in
the future under the new revenue
program, recently adopted.
AS chairman of the House ap-
preparations subcommittee writing
the Districts record breaking supply
bill, Mr.. Koran said, mot everything
desirable from the standpoint of
the community's needs" could be
provided. The $4,000, 900 measure
now Is in conference to iron out
differences between House and
Senate.
Text of Hearings Mailed Out.
Mr.. Koran mailed with each letter
copy of the hearings consisting Of
l,616 pages. He asked each of the
taxpayers to whome be mailed it
to read the record and analyze the
problems faced by the city. He
asked them to draw their own con-
illusions and report to the District
Commissioners.
The sales tax, he wrote, seems an
admirable tax program for the Dis
trict and would solve the difficult
revenue problem which faced us
this year and which will grow more
acute in 1949.'
Mr.. Koran long has campaigned
in Congress for a sales tax. But
his latest move, calling directly on
Washington taxpayers to support
the levy, was unusual for a House
member.
Federal Payment Discussed.
In the letter Mr.. Koran said he
favored more adequate plan for
fixing the Federal payment towards
city costs. He predicted, however,
it might lead to annual fiscal
bewilderment," as it came up for
change each year.
The District government, he de-
clared could not be supported pro-
perly on its present scale of expan-
sion without more adequate plan
for determining the Federal pay
ment, and serious consideration
being given Immediately to the levy
of a sales tax"
In making. public the text of his
letter to taxpayers last night, Mr..
Koran issued a five-page statement
why he took this new line of APP
proach to the Washington public.
In Congress, Mr.. Koran has met
defeat for the sales tax at every
turn. His bill to insert the sales
tax in the city's new revenue pro-
gram was killed on the floor of the
