Appea|sCouhUpho|d,
District Taxation Of
Warner Film Rental
Star Staff Photos.

The United States Court of Ap-
peals ruled today that Warner Bros.
Pictures, Inc, Is subject to a Dis
trict tax on income received from
motion picture, films rented and
shown by theaters here. The films
involved were rented by the thea
tiers from a Warner controlled dis
tributor.
The Court Of Appeals decision af-
firms rulings made by the District
Board of Tax Appeals regarding the
tax on films shown here during the
fiscal year 1941-1944, inclusive.
The amount of taxes involved,
with interest, totals more than
$4,000. The tax was paid by the
Warner concern under protest and
the corporation then brought suit
seeking refund.
Payment Not Broken Down.
Warner Bros. contended that the
only income on which it should be
required to pay District income
tax for the years involved was in
come it derived from a theater it
operated here before 1914.
The Court OF Appeals opinion ex-
planned that a distributor in New
York settles periodically with Warn
ers on a nationwide basis for use
of the films and that Warmers is
not furnished with a breakdown of
the distributors collections "as to
geographical sources"
The tax assessor, who was without
an exact estimate of collections on
the films from District exhibitors
applied an ALLEGATION formula to de-
termine the amount of taxes. The
assessments were made under a
District code which imposes an an
nual tax upon the taxable income
from District sources of every cor
poration, whether domestic or for
eign."
Money Ruled Income From District.
Going into various technicalities
in connection with the cases, the
Court of Appeals said:
80 - The simple fact, which can
not be avoided by any technicalities
of construction, is that Warmers
photoplays were hired by District
exhibitors and Warner received a
percentage of the money paid by
them. Legal niceties cannot destroy
the aetuality that such money was
income from sources within the Dis
trict."
! The Court of Appeals decision was
written by Justice Wilbur K. Miller
Former Chief Justice D. Lawrence
i Groner of the Court of Appeals, now
retired. and the present chief JUS
tice, Harold M. Stephens, heard the
cases with Justice Miller.

Women Parade in Mayf1ower.
The real fashion parade was not
on the avenue. 1t was too cold
for many to stay out long. But in
the lobby of the Mayfower Hotel
many women took off their winter
wraps and promehaded in the lobby.
1t seemed that most simply had
donned their new bonnets, prefer
ring to wait for warmer spring days
to wear their Easter outfits.
No member of the family was left
out of the gay fashion festivities on
Connecticut avenue. Even family
dog had an Easter outfit. One
Pekingese wore an Easter bonnet
made of green ribbon and black
yelling with rosebuds trimming the
chapeau. One of the youngest OF

It was the most traffic he had seen
on the broad thoroughfare in eight
years.
Some traffic lights jammed, add

out for hours.
Pink Will Predominant.
What was the general fashion
picture yesterday? Well, as we said
it was a pretty covered up one. But
glimpses of suits underneath win
ter coats and toppers, convinces
us that spring is going to be pretty
colorful. A healthy pink look viii.
predominate If the hats, suits, ano
topnerS worn in the Faster Darade
are any indication. Mauve tones
also were very popular with the
paraders.
Easter bonnets were mostly ir
pastel straws. Frothy maline trim
mings and floral decorations o1
roses, violets, lilacs, poppies. anc
practically every other flower in the
garden were used on the hats. Navy
grey, and the new Baienciaga colol
were spotted in most of the suitings
all with longer hemlines.

Typical of these groups were the
is Cub Scouts from Troop No. 537,
led by Nicholas johnson, 4207 Eads

ing at the Zoo restaurant, and con-
tainers of hot dogs and rolls were
piled roof-high.

Bills Pressed
For Army, Navy
Jobs
Botes Opposes Delay
For Projects to Cost
$50 Millions
By the Associated Press

A House Armed Services Sub.
committee will demand that Re-
publican leaders pin a must" tag
this week on $353, 100000 worth Of
Army, Navy and Air Force con-
Struction.
The projects, already trimmed
down from $4,000, ,000, 900 request,
have been awaiting congressional
approval since last year.
Representative Bates, Republican,
OF Massachusetts,, the subcommittee
chairman. told reporters today the
services cannot shave another nickel
off their program, and Congress
should get it rolling without more
delay.
The program was approved by Mr..
Bates subcommittee and the full
Armed Services Committee last
year. 1t includes everything from
supersonic wind tunnels to houses
for officers. It spreads from Hawaii
to Newfoundland.
Given Full Authority.
Mr.. Bates has authority from the
full committee to write his own
ticket in getting the program onto
the House floor for debate.
The chairman said the 1888 ,000,-
900 would finance good start on
essential projects, but the bill prob
ably would run to $500, 100000 be-
fore the work could be finished.
The Air Force wants So, 500 900 to I
build two secret installations in
$12,270,677 for air
fields in the Mariana Islands in the
Pacific and $20,694,850 to improve
Ladd Field in Alaska. 1t also wants
$5,085, 500 to provide night lighting
systems and other safety equipment
for fields in this country.
The Army says it needs to spend
$685., ,430 at the White Sands Prov.
ing Ground in New Mexico, $1,97S,-
800 at Picatinny Arsenal, NJ, for
testing rockets and new bombs and
$4,057 300 for various testing facili-
ties at Muroc Air Field in Califor-
mia.
Living Quarters Needed.
In addition to these projects. the
Army Air Force wants additional
money to build family living quar-
ters.
For instance, $3,l36, $50 is sought
for Eglin Field, Fla, S4,455 $50 for
Camp Hood, Tex, $4,595, 800 for
Fort Knox, KY, and $6,50l .970 for
the heavy bombasdment base at
Rapid City, s. Oak.
Perhaps the most controversial
item in the two bills is the Nays
request for s12,000,0Oo to build an
airf1eld for the Naval Academy at
Annapolis. The Navy wants to buy
2,400 acres of land for it.
This field was authorized by Con-
gress in 1912, but work was post
poned because of the war. The au-
thorization was rescinded by Con-
gress in 1916, and the Navy has not
been able to get it approved again.
Navy Has Other Projects.
Some of the larger jobs the Navy
would like to do in this country
include $5,303, 900 for an ordnance
testing station at Inyokern, Calf;
$34 $4,000 for a missile testing
center at Point Mugu, Calf; ,$26,-
100000 for an aeronautical turbine
laboratory at Trenton, N. j., and
So 1886, $50 for the Navy unit at
White Sands, N. Mex.
The overseas program would cover
approximately $16,00O000 for Navy
activities at Adak, Alaska; $685.
600 for a radio station at Argentia,
Newfoundland, and vast building
program on Guam. The Guam oper-
ating base would be expanded for
$24,000,000, and more than $685.
0,000 would be spent on a hos
pital, ammunition depots. a radio
station and supply warehouses.

 In condemnng the ideologies of both Communism and capitalism advisory section of the World Council For Churches delivered about as negative report as could possibly be devised by the human mind It is full of the broadest generalities and the most disturbing antiquities; and it contains the frankest admission of failure we have known any Christian organization to make.
 Let us look at of these amazing statements which typical Tt is the responsibility of Christians to seek creative solutions which allow either justice or freedom to destroy the other" Fine, but where?
 The newspaper account from which we quote de- votes nearly a column to excerpts from the report. We find that the terms Communism" and capital ism" occur frequently The word God" appears once, and Christ" not at all.
 This leads us to wonder if the World Council of Churches has overlooked the primary funton of the Christian GOT any other) church which, always have been led to suppose to establish relationship between the human soul and the divine will It seems to us that the World Councils deep the evils of both Communism and capitalism which have been patent thinking people for long time, places undue emphasis on the temporal over the Eternal.
 Without being in any way cynical or irreverent, we should like to suggest that the World Council of Churches and their separate afaes take cognizance of the possibility that will be this earth long after Communism and capitalism have faded into oblivion just as he was existence milleniums prior to these passing social phenomena and of the cer- tainty that God will survive them all

FISH TRAP REFERENDUM

In just few weeks the people of Alaska will have their say as to whether or not they think the use of fish traps should be continued in Alaska
 As the election hears thing seems certain The seiners and gill netters honestly seem to believe that the elimination of traps will better thtr lot
 They would like to have the traps eliminated m order to remove an efficient competitor
 However these persons would do well to look at the record elsewhere and demand facts for the un- supported claims which have been tossed around to date by those favoring the elimination Of the traps
 The record in Puget Sound where traps were eliminated in 1884 has not been good. Government records show 50 per cent reduction in the Puget Sound salmon pack in the 10 years following the elimination of traps.
 Government license records likewise showed reduction in the number of seine boats employed In fishing
 Today the same group which put over the elimi- nation of traps in Washington in 1884 is laying plans to eliminate sening that States inside waters be- cause the salmon have been so poor.
 Thus the record shows less jobs, not more fewer seine boats not more smaller packs, not larger.
 And what of the Alaskans who make their living manufacturing the wire, cutting the logs and as sembling and working the traps?
