Lee-Kensington Market
Again Damaged by Fire

The interior of the Super Market
In the Lee-Kensington shopping CEN
ter, 57o0 block of Lee highway. Ar
lington, was badly damaged by a
fire of undetermined origin last
night.
The same store was burned out
in a $4,000 blaze six weeks ago
and was preparing to reopen within
the next two weeks.
Joseph E. Horowitz, proprietor,
said he could not Immediately esti-
mate the extent of the damage
caused by last nights fire.
He said, however, it had cost about
5000 to repair the interior after
the last fire. Most Of the damage
during the earlier fire was to stock
and Mr. Horowitz pointed out there
were scarcely any goods in the store
last night.
The Falls Church, Clarendon

panies responded to the blaze, which
was discovered by the proprietor
of nearby drugstore shortly after
10 pm.
Firemen confined the flames to
the rear portion of the store but the
entire interior was damaged by
smoke. One fireman was reported
to have suffered a cut finger.

Power to Cut Toriffs
By J. A. O'Leoy

Congress will make a drive
this week to extend the Recipro-

it expires next Saturday.
How far Republicans will go in
curbing the Presidents power to

tries remained big question mark

The Senate Finance Committee

which extends the act for one year,
but with an option given to Con-
gress to veto future presidential
agreements.
AS Senate public hearings came to
a close yesterday, indications were
the Senate committee will stick to
one year, instead of the three-year
extension favored by the administra-
ton.

Broke Log Jam of Disputes AS.
BY the Associated Press
DETROIT, June S. Henry
Ford II boosted prices on his
1949 model Fords nearly 9 per
cent today, possibly pacing the
automobile industry on another
upward spiral.
He said the new cars would cost
from $85 to $125 more than present
models. He did not list prices per
model.
The new models are due on pub
lie display June 18.
The Ford announcement was not
unexpected. The auto industry had
freely predicted for some time that
the new Fords would cost the pub
lie more
The current models cost from
$1,154 to $1.972 delivered. plus State
sales taxes and transportation
charges.
General Motors Corp. has said II
will try to hold the price line on fts

Hope Of 100000 Here
For Pay Rise Dimmed
By House Agreement
Leaders Decide to Push
Only Postal Increase
Of $3.50 to $400

The 100000 Cover m n
workers in the Washington area
won't get a pay raise this year if
House Republican leaders stick
to an informal agreement to
raise the pay of postal workers
and nobody else, it was learned
last night.
The House Republican Steering
Committee, in a closed meeting
Friday, pretty much agreed on a
raise of around $3.50 to $400 for
postal workers, it was learned
About 1000 would be affected in
the District area.
To help pay for the raise, and
thus uphold the Republican claim
to being the money saving, not
spending party, air mail and parcel
post rates probably will be raised,
it was decided.
But there is no way to compen-
safe for a raise for classified en-
ployes in the Government service,
one Representative who attended
the meeting pointed out. Besides
he said, the Republicans have con-
stantly said they favor cutting the
Federal payroll and this is an elec-
ton year when pledges are re-
called by political opponents.
Political Aspects Discussed.
Another member present, Rep
resentative Arends, of Illinois, the
Republican House whip, said nc
vote was taken and no final de-
cision made. But, he said, most
of the discussion was about the
postal pay raise and how to handle
it. 1t was pretty generally agreed
that this is not the time for raise
for classified employees, he said.
Political aspects of the action were
discussed, it was learned. The postal
workers are strongly unionized but
classified employees have never beer
able to bring much pressure or
Congress. Besides, the postal work
ers are spread all over the 48 States
the Congressmen's con-
stitutents are.
Even the postal raise appears tc
be jeopardized, however. by the ac-
ton of the Senate Civil Service
Committee in approving an $500
increase. The House leaders oppose
any such figure as far too high
They are afraid that if the Senate
approves it and Senate-HouSe
conference cuts it down, Republi-
cans will lose votes, rather than win
them.

House Acts Tomorrow
.0n D. T.. Sales Tax;
Sponsors Confident
Consumers Groups
And Unions Push Fight
Against 20 Levy
By Harold B. Rogers

The House will act tomorrow
on the proposed combination
sales tax and "high-level" in
come tax for the District.
Sponsors of the measure, which
is designed to prevent a deficit in
city finances, are confident of House
passage despite the objections that
are certain to be raised by op-
ponents of the sales levy.
House spokesmen for organized
labor and consumers groups fighting
a sales tax are expected to oppose
the bill, but how strong this opposi-
ton will be remains to be seen.
House members were circularized
by letter yesterday by a group OF
organizations trying to build up
votes against the measure. The
move was announced by Americans
for Democratic Action whose spokes-
man said they alse represented other
groups.
Revenue Need Stressed.
Need for the sales-income tax bill
has been stressed by its sponsors
who insist that the revenue 1t
would produce will be needed espe-
cially if a Government workers pay
raise is granted.
The District budget, as revised by
the Senate and now in conference
with the House, calls for $99 ,567 1893
without provision to meet a pro-
spective Government pay raise.
Expected revenue from a combi-
nation income-sales tax has been
estimated at from s6,500 900 to ST.
600 900 the first year, or approx
mately the same amount that pay
raise would throw the budget out
of balance.
Chairman Horan of the House
Appropriations subcommittee which
is handling the District budget said
he will delay action on the supply
bill by the House and Senate con-
ferees until Congress acts on the
revenue bill. The Senate slashed
sl.597.OOO off estimated expendi-
lures, bringing 1t down to 500 $751;
983.
Exemptions Listed.
The income tax in the combina-
ton bill would exempt the first
$4,000 of net income Of the tax
payer, and allow credit Of $500 fol
| the spouse and for each dependent
In addition there would be a $500
deduction to cover taxes, contribu-
tions, philanthropy and other items
This measure would exempt the
great majority of Federal workers
and, according to its sponsors, woule
compensate for the extra burden o!
the sales tax which would fall or
all.
The sales tax would place 2 PEI
cent levy on retail sales and certain
services, exempting food for hom'
consumption, medicines, drugs, rem
and certain products already sub
ect to a gross receipts tx.
Opposition which had been ex'
pected from some quarters to th'
income tax feature disappeared las
night.

WALLACE PARTY
SEEN GETTING ON
MOST BALLOTS
His Electors May Qualify in
Most States Where He Might
Hold The Balance of Power
By Associated Press

Henry A. Wallace can get his
third party Presidential ticket on
the ballot in most states next No
vember, but it will require a tre-
mendOus organization and much
financial support.
A survey of state laws showed
that most states will qualify a third
Presidential ticket by the filling of
petitions signed by anywhere from
100 to $4,000 voters. Other methods
are by holding state conventions or
caucuses to name Presidential cleo
tors. Either method requires money,
such as filing fees running into
thousands of dollars, hotel expenses
OF convention delegates and the like.
Most significant are the laws of
key electOral-vote states where.
politicians agree, Mr.. Wallace
might hold the balance of power in
close election. These states in
clude New York, California, Illinois.
Michigan and some others.
Through some fast organizing.
Mr. Wallace could qualify his
electors in most of the pivotal
states.

run on the A. L. P. ticket in New

split that party asunder. The big
