A startled west Emo CltlZenS
Association today was recovering
from the discovery that 1t may have
$4,000 more members than it ever
dreamed of-and all for only 81
annual membership fee.
The realization came last night
when the organization was consider
ing membership applications from
two business establishments in its
area.
Submitted by William r. Brown,
the groups treasurer for IS years,
the two applications at first were
rejected by the meeting after Walter
F. WATSON, president, won approval
for new rule prohibiting corpor-
atoms, as such, from joining the
organization. Hereafter, the group
decided, all corporations and bust
ness firms must be listed in the
names of Individual citizens.
But what does that do to George
Washington University" INTERCEPTED
Mr.. Brown. The university, ne
pointed out, has been a member OF
the association for at least IS years
and has paid its 81 dues annually
through the university controller.
Does that mean all $4,000 students
are members of the West End Cit
izens Association" member asked.

boy, she didn't hesitate. She rushed
him to the Embassy.
Inspects Embassy.
There she fed him and showed
him around the beautiful building
extending every diplomatic courtesy
But on the theory that he already
was too chilled, she tactfully refused
him ice cream, by tradition the best
way to pry facts from small boys
who.are lost.
After Charles was warm, Miss
Flores made a promise to adopt him
If his parents couldn't be found and
called No. 10 precinct.
Pvts. Malcolm Luebkert and Gil
lespie Southcomb, who are unofficial
small boy experts, went into huddle
with Charles and pondered deeply
that Fourteenth street clue. They
narrowed down the area of the
child's probable home to a few blocks
from the Embassy, bundled him up,
put him in the squad car and told
Charles to follow his nose"
A few minutes later, University
place came into sight and Charlie
excitedly pointed to his house. But
nobody was home, so a neighbor
opened the door Of the Hammer
strand quarters. A little later, his
mother, Mrs. Leonard Hammer
strand, who had been out, welcomed
her nomadic child.

Smith Bill Asks Repeal
OF D. {. Imports Tax

Representative Smith, Democrat
of Virginia has introduced in the
House a bill for repeal of District
tax on manufactured product,
shipped into the District. The
measure went to the House District
Committee as an amendment to the
City Revenue Act Of 1947.
The tax was criticized by Repre-
sentative Smith as unfair"
The tax is per cent on 100 pei
cent of the profit, If ownership Of
the goods changes within the Dis
trict. If ownership changes outside
the District for delivery in the Ma
tional Capital, the same rate applies
to half Of the profit.
Representative Smith said it would
be just as fair for Virginia to levy
tax on articles delivered into near
by Virginia from stores in the
District.
From other sources, 1t was learned
Virginia tax authorities have under
consideration just this sort Of levy
on goods shipped over the State line
into the Old Dominion from the
District or other Jurisdictions.

Armed Man Captured in Store
As Jap Proprietor Applies Judo

A 29-year- man was held for
investigation by police today be-
cause a Japanese grocery proprietor
who knew "a little" judo put it to
use.
Two customers were in the store
of Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Asaka at 1884
Eleventh street NV. yesterday af-
ternoon. One of them, Decatur
Sugg. colored. of 1880 Eleventh
street NV, knew what he wanted
some cigarettes. The other was
indecisive.
First he said he wanted some po-
tato chips" Utah-born Mrs. Asaka,
80, said later. Then he said he
wanted pork skins instead"
Gun Dislodged In Tussle.
Apparently not firmly decided on
the pork skins, the customer wan
dered to the side of the counter,
Mrs. Asaka continued, Mr.. ASaka,
a native of Japan, spied a gun in
the mans hand. He grabbed the
customers arm and wrenched it..
In the tussle, the gun, .22-caliber
target pistol was discharged. The
bullet struck the floor less than a
foot from Mrs. Asaka, who was
standing by the cash register.
Mr.. Asaka threw the man to the
floor, upsetting a quantity of cookies,
and his wife remembered an empty
pistol which had been given the

grocers in exchange for some pur-
chases.
Meanwhile, Ronald, IL, one OF
their three sons, ran to the tele-
phone to call police. He got the
wrong number. BY this time, his
father had taken the pistol from the
customer Mr.. Asaka then called
police, while Mrs. Asaka held both
guns on their prisoner-one empty
one containing FIVE bullets.
Was she nervous?
Excitement for Boys.
"I wasn't but he cher husband)
was shaking life leaf" said Mrs
Asaka. Mr.. Asaka said he wasn't
nervous at the time but perhaps was
a bit shaky when the incident was
over.
The other Asaka boys, Dennis, II,
and John, Z, also were present for
the excitement.
Mr.. Asaka said he had about $400
in his pockets and about SITS in the
cash register at the time.
The grocers said there had been
no previous holdup attempts in the
three years they have operated the
store. Mrs. Asaka added, however,
money had been stolen from the till
several times.
Police identified the suspect as
Hollie Houston, colored. Of the 1900
block of Vermont avenue NV.

Senate Passes Bill TO Give
Land Back TO Maryland U.

The Senate yesterday passed a
bill giving back to the University of
Maryland a small strip of land,
formerly part of the campus, which
was made available to the Federal
Bureau of Mines in connection with
a building project some years ago.
The bill requires House action.
The Senate also passed and sent
to the President a bill already ap-
proved by the House returning to
its private owners a piece of land in
Cheverly, Md, which they gave the
Feleral Government five years ago.
The Senate Committee on Int
rior and Insular Affairs reported that
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter N. Campbell
decided the land to the Government,
stating in a letter their wish that
ut might remain there indefinitely
subject to private use only by lease
hold"
The Attorney Generals Office in
formed the Senate that the Federal
Government has no use for the
property and recommended that 1t
be conveyed back to the owners.

would be present, together with
Robert r. Ayres, GSI general man
ager, and probably" Maj. Gen. U.

Mr.. Hoffman is chairman OF a
