Gas Company Wins Refund
On District Income Tax

Lawrence Koenigsberger sole
member of the District Board of Tax
Appeals, ruled today that the Wash
ington Gas Light Co. was entitled
to take as an income tax deduction
s144 900 it contributed in 1945 to
l. its employees retirement fund and
that $8,138.38 of its District income
tax for that year should be re-
funded
In overruling the municipal tax
assessor, Mr.. Koenigsberger held
that the contribution is proper
deduction both under the District
and Federal revenue codes.
The gas company, before setting
up its retirement plan. had it ap-
proved by the Office of the COM
missioner of internal revenue as a
tax-exempt- employees trust, Mr..
Koenigsberger observed. The con-
tribution, legally speaking. is an

NCHA Requests Fund,
For at Least $500
Low-Rent Dwellings

The National Capital Housinl
Authority has asked Congress TO
authority and funds to provide a
least $500 low-rent dwellings ir
the District to meet the housint
needs of low-income families.
Private housing is providing fo
the higher income part of the pop
ulation, John Ihlder, executive Off
Ger of NCHA, declared in his annua
report filed yesterday. But, h
warned, "the housing shortage fol
low income families is worse thar
it was two years ago"
Listing more than 1000 temporary
dwelling units that must be disposed
of under present law, he expressed
the hope that leases on several o.
the sites occupied by temporary
dwellings may be somewhat ex-
tended.
Since Congress has not previously
authorized a recommended con-
struction program for low-income
families, Mr.. Ihlder declared, 1--WE
are facing a dramatic and tragic
situation when, in the spring OF
1948, the low-income occupants OF
a large proportion of the temporaries
must be evicted."
Nearly 10000 Others.
These people. he told Congress,
then will be added to the nearly
10000 low-income applicants for
public housing. among whom are
the families of more than 5000 low
income veterans"
I'VE must begin to provide for the
part of our population
now" he declared. And our task is
made more difficult by the imminent
disposition of public war housing
This message was similar to that
recently presented by Mr.. Ihlder to
the Joint Congressional Committee
investigating the housing shortage
throughout the country.
The temporaries which must be
disposed of according to law, con-
tracts and other commitments
were listed by Mr.. Ihlder as follows
!, Ito by next June 80; 1910 by June
30, 1949; 1896 by June 80, 1850, and
70 with an indefinite date" for a
total of 4,078.
Small Portion for Rent.
Private housing in the Washing
ton Metropolitan Area is being built
in unprecedented volume Mr..
Ihlder said, but it is not for the
low-income part of the population.
Only the smaller portion of it is in
the District. Only the, smaller por-
ton of it is for rent And the low
est rents are out of the reach of
low-income families. That is why
the NCHA has had such difficulty in
graduating its most prosperous
tenants into private housing"
Private rents, he reported, are
going up and the prophecy is that
at least 10 years will pass before
private housing has caught up with
effective demands"
In his 46-page report Mr.. Ihlder
went into detail on all operations
of NCHA.
Supplementing his report, Mr..
Ihlder, in an interview today, point
ed out that his office cannot now

conferences late yesterday after his
appointment by Federal Works Ad-
ministrator Philip B. Fleming was
announced. The appointment. it
was understood. came as a result
of a White House meeting last
Wednesday, attended by Secretary
Of Labor Schwellenbach, Gen.
Fleming and Presidential Assistant
John R. Steelman.
Schwellenbach Bars Comment.
A Labor Department spokesman
said today that Secretary Schwel-
lenbach "has no comment on the
situation as it now stands" The
spokesman commented that Mr..
Strong "is a sort of free agent" in
his effort to bring about settle
ment of the seven weeks old strike
affecting AZ Federal building cafe
terials operated by GSI.
Mr.. Strong. according to the La
Dor Department, has helped settle
more than 100 strikes in recent
years. The 52-year -old attorney said
he has worked on at least 500 labor
dispute cases. most of which were
adjusted before strikes were called.
GSI officials said they had nothing
further to add today to a brief
statement in which Mai. Gen. u. s.
Grant III, corporation president,
last night confirmed reports that
"the GSI Board of Trustees agreed
to negotiate"
Union Ready to Confer.
Oliver T. Palmer, union business
agent, said officials OF his group
would confer at any time with Mr..
Strong, but that the union preferred
to leave all negotiation announce
ments to the conciliator.
The strike of approximately 1900
union members started January S.
GSI has continued to operate all
cafeterias except those at the Labor
and the Supreme Court
building.
At the outset of the strike, the
company refused to negotiate be-
cause union officers failed to file
nom Communist affidavits. Local All
officers recently signed the afiidavits
but officers of United Public Workers
of America, the parent union, have
not done so.

The problem Of prejudice and
discrimination is insoluble in our
society; however, it can hardly be
accomplished that good paren-
tai attitudes and practices can
have a strong effect on the child

his ability to work later on, with
people somewhat different from
himself.
During his first and most forma-
tive years, the child is almost ex

1t is assumed that the readers

Moss Point Mill

The Moss Point Mill Of the In
ternational Paper Company has
a history that dates back to 1908.
The Promoter Of the mill was
the international Process Com
pany and May 10th Of that year
saw the inception of the local
mill. The stockholders of this
company We're for the most part
English and Canadian who owned
certain patents, known as Carl
son patents, to operate In the
Southern States of the United
States.
The present location Of the
Moss Point mill was decided on
due to the fact that 1t Is located
on the Escatawpa river, a fresh
water stream free of salt, which
afforded ample supply of water,
essential in the production of
pulp and paper. In addition there
was, because of the huge sawmill
industry, an ample supply of raw
material for paper making
throughout the area.
Extensive experiments were
made, which included the ship
ment of a car Of pine timber to
Sweden for determining its pos
sibiiities as raw material. AS a
result of this test it was defin-
itely decided that under the pat
ents held by the company the
process for manufacturing strong
fiber and strong wrapping paper
from the refuse of pitch pine lum-
Der was practicable.
Company Organised
The Southern Paper Company,
a New York corporation, was then
organized on October 25th, 1911,
with an authorized capitalization
of $750,000 common and $780, 900
preferred stock.
Under an agreement between
the International Process Com
pany and the Southern Paper
Company, it was provided that
the former would deed some 200
acres of land at Moss Point to the
Southern Paper Company. grant
the company a license to use the
so-called Carlson process for
manufacturing strong fiber and
strong wrapping paper from the
refuse of pitch pine lumber, as
covered by letters of patent dat
ed May 5, 1908, and July IL, 1910,
respectively. and any improve
ments thereof. The patent hold
ers also agreed to assign the pa
per company contracts for the
supply of wood slabs from saw
mills operating in the vicinity of
Moss Point, and agreed to super
wise the erection of a pulp mill and
paper mill of IS tons daily ca
pacity at Moss Point, and also the
operation during an initial period
of three years. The International
Process Company complied with
provisions of the agreement on
October 18th, 1912, and later the
capacity of the mill was increased
to 40 tons per day.
Construction of the mill start
ed May |. 1912, and it was conn.,
pleted in June, 1918. The mill
consisted of one F~ourdrinier Pa
per Machine and n Yankee Pa
per Machine, and the necessary
pulp mill and power plant equip
ment.
