THEY SAID LAST
WEEK.:
Secretary of State Marshall:

Secretary of State Marshall:
I'VE are in Berlin as resrlt
of agreements between the go
vernments on the areas of occu-
pations in Germany and we in
tend to stay there. The Soviet
attempt to blockade the German
civilian population of Berlin
raises the basic questions of seri.
Gus import with which we expect
to deal promptly.
Meanwhile, maximum use of
air transport will be made to sup
ply the civilian population. 1t
has been found, after study, that
the tonnage of foodstuffs and
supplies which can be lifted by
air is greater than had at first
been assumed"

privilege have of being its Repre-
sentative in the Congress.
COMPARISONS in production
~ are always interesting, par
ticularly when they indicate an i'm
provement in spite of many handi-
caps. AS to automobiles: except for
May every month of the first half
year of 1948 exceeded the 1947 out
put little. The total has been g.
100000 vehicles from January to
July. In 1947 the second six months
gave 100000 more units than in the
first six months. If 1948 can do as
well, there will be total output of
something over 100000.
This possible increase during the
second half year will, of course, be
influenced by the availability of
steel, which in turn will be affected
by the acquisitions from the armed
services, not only for actual use
but also for every necessary stock
plling in many areas of raw materi-
ais. We are told that scrap is to
be shipped in from Europe, and
probably the Pacific as well, with
the hope of increasing the steel sup
ply.

Later he quit his job at the Penta-

per cent of the land area of the
District was taxable, and that the
District could not expand its boun-
daries as many of its residents
moved to suburban areas.
In arguing for the sales tax, Mr.
Young said there were other bis
costs to be considered in addition te
the pay raise. He mentioned the
Districts share of the cost Of the
Washington Hospital Center, which
might run to nearly $4,000, 900, the
Districts share of the cost of the
new Federal courthouse, amounting
to about $500,000 a year for rs years

sound, unwise and unfair. Inas.
much as they conceive it now to b.
almost impossible to obtain just
income tax for the District, they
urge the committee to recommend
a sales tax accompanied by the re-
peal of the tax of individual income,
of less than $4,000"

Farley With Russians
Urged by Wallace in
New York Speech
BY ths Assoeiotsd Press

NEW YORK, May IA crowd
estimated at 1900 cheered Henry A.
Wallace last night as he outlined
his ideas for ending the cold war"
and launching century OF peace. y
Addressing Madison Square Gar
den rally, the third party presiden-
tial candidate said there are no
differences between the United
States and the Soviet Union (which
cannot be settled by peaceful, hope
full negotiations
He presented his views in the form
OF an open letter" addressed to
Prime Minister Stain. Mr.. Wal
lace's running mate, Senator Taylor
Democrat, of Idaho, also spoke at
the rally. which was sponsored by
the Wallace for President Com
mittee.
Between bursts Of applause. Mr.
Wallace enumerated six "definitive,
decisive steps" which he said must
be taken to restore a common
ground OF peace"
Disarmament Urged.
He called for general disarma-
ment, outlawing of weapons Of mass
destruction. a ban against export
Of weapons by any Nation, and re-
sumption of unrestricted trade be-
tween Russia and this country, ex-
cept for warsgoods.
He also urged resumption Of free
exchange of scientific information
between the two countries, free
movement OF citizens. students and
newspapermen in both nations, and
establishment OF a United Nations
agency for the distribution Of inter-
national relief.
To achieve these ends, he said,
there must be IAN open, fully re-
ported meeting Of representatives
of both the United States and the
Soviet Union"
THE world was heartened this
morning by the release Of notes
exchanged by Ambassador Bedell
Smith and Foreign Minister Molo-
tov," he said, but added that high
American authorities" had poured
'cold water on these notes"
Says Letters Offer Hope.
Mr.. Wallace declared the exchange
offered great hopes to those OF us
who have consistently maintained
that peace Is possible"
The two letters assume what we
have long contended-that the war
time cooperation between the two
great powers can be rebuilt and
strengthened in time of peace" he
said
Mr.. Wallace condemned the
Mundt- Nixon bill which he called a
child of that horrible monster, the
House Un-American Committee"
An outburst of "boos" followed his
mention of the House committee.
Mr.. Wallace leaves today by
chartered plane for 23-day cam
paign tour through the Midwest

fiscal year 1880" the former En-
gineer Commissioner said.
On the basis Of yield figures for
other cities Gen. McCoach estimated
the tax would produce $4,000, 900
or SIS 5,000, 900 annually here. assum-
ing it applied only to sales Of more
than IA cents.
If the tax were applied only to
sales of 20 cents or more. the yearly
loss of revenue would be about ST.
600, 900, Gen. McCoach said. II
restaurant checks and liquor were
exempted, annual yield would de-
crease by $2,500,0o0. If no exemp-
tions were recognized, the general
said the estimated yield would be
increased by at least 100000.
Mr.. Young announced that the
Commissioners had decided to ask
the Senate to make no changes in
the 1949 budget as passed by the
House, which calls for an outlay OF
$I0l, ,164 900. Senator Dworshak.
Republican, of Idaho, a member of
the fiscal group and also chairman
OF the Senate Appropriations SUBJ
committee handling the District
budget, asked if the Commissioners
saw any possibility OF making sub
stantial cuts in the supply bill.
Mr.. Young replied that he did
not. that the Commissioners were
asking neither increases nor re-
ductions.
/ Sale Of Investments Feared.
Commissioner Young told the
group that the prospective deficit
for the coming year could be held
to about $5,5O0,0O0 only by the sale
OF more than 100000 of what
remains of the Districts wartime
investment fund.
Mr.. Bates broke in to make the
point that If all the remaining Sc
curities were sold the deficit would
be reduced to $500 900.
During this colloQuy, Mr.. Smith
noted that the pay raise would add
about $8,341 900 to the deficit.
On the question of bond issue,
Mr. Young recalled Massachusetts,
saying that you have to pay for
money you buy"
Mr.. Bates reminded him there
was another Massachusetts, saying
that under a sales tax, you pay
through the nose"
Personal Income Tax Hit.
Mr.. Mason attacked the Districts 8
personal income tax as grossly in
equitable" since Congress had seen
fit to provide for exemptions for all
but $4,000 of 100000 prospective
District taxpayers. The law now
exempts the salaries of Government
workers who claim they are domi-
ciled in their home States though
they actually reside here.
Mr.. Mason said the Districts s
backlog of needs was appalling" in
size and that health and welfare
institutions we're so run down at
the heels" Congress was regularly
being importuned to do something
about them.
He said the income tax therefore
should not be repealed until the
District catches up with some of the
improvement needs. One objection
to bond issues by the District, Mr.
Mason said, was that bankers would
