Falls Church Has Plan
For Annexation Costs

The Falls Church City Council
last night made provision in it's
proposed charter to finance in
creased operating costs in case
nearby territory is annexed.
Under State law the city could
not use tax money from the an
nexed area for regular operations
until II per cent of the area S
assessed value is spent on i'm
provements there.
An alternative would require
continuance of the present tax
rate in the annexed area for five
years. The city could not use the
taxes for anything but improve
ments in the new territory, how
ever.
The council expects to take final
action next week in launching a
suit to annex approximately 712
square miles of Fairfax County
territory.
Another charter amendment
approved last night requires a
two-thirds vote of the council to
eXpel member. An earlier draft
indicated the action could be
taken by a majority.
The council agreed to meet
Friday for final vote on the
charter. 1t also has to be ap-
proved by the General Assembly.

New House Chaplain Familiar
With Role as |Pinch-Hitter
DR.. Broskomp Admits
Pleasant Surprise;
ToOfficiute Tomorrow

The new chaplain of the House
OF Representatives isn't a new
conner at all.
For the Rev. DR.. Bernard Bras
kamp, his new job means only a
change in status from pinch
hitter" to regular.
DR.. Braskamp, who is pastor
of the Gunton-Temple Memorial
Presbyterian Church at Sixteenth
and Newton streets NV. has filed
in as House chaplain for his pre-
decessor. the Rev. DR.. James
Shera Montgomery. some "175 to
200 times" over the last 10 or
IL years. He's also, substituted "a
good deal" for the Rev. Dr.8Fred-
,erick Brown Harris in Offering the
opening prayer for Senate sessions.
They're pretty well used to
what say in the invocations up
on the HILL" said the 62-year- old
minister.
Pleasantly Surprised.
But even so, DR.. Braskamp's
appointment yesterday came as a
pleasant surprise. Action came
after the House accepted the res
ignation of DR.. Montgomery, who
had served more than 29 years.
1T was all very sudden" smiled
DR.. Braskamp. II had heard
rumors, after all, but had no
assurance I would be chosen. I
felt I was merely one among
number benig considered"
DR.. Braskamp is scheduled to
offer his first prayer in his new
position when the House opens
its session at noon tomorrow. And
on February 18. he'll celebrate his
63d birthday.
Born in Alton. Iowa, the new
House chaplain received his bach
elor of arts degree from the Uni
versity of Michigan in 1908 and
was graduated from the Princeton
Theological Seminary in 1911. He
was ordained and came to Wash
ington the same year, as assistant
to the late DR.. Charles Wood of
Gurley Memorial Presbyterian
Church.

The Gayety Theater has been
pencilled in for a long run on
the oblivion circuit.
Last vestige of burlesque in
Washington. it is closing it's doors
at 513 Ninth street NV, with
Thursday nights show.
The shutdown is a matter of
strict economics created by the
disinterest of the casual customer
who pays his money and sees a
girl in a gingham apron instead
of G-string.
AS one of the current cast put
it, people can see more in Bikini
bathing suit on the beach than
they can in burlesque. It calls
to mind the Minsky advertising
masterpiece when New York
clamped down on grille shows
which showed too much grille.
The Minskys were told they could
not advertise as a "burlesque."
They called it Varieties" in
small type and then in huge block
letters admonished: Not to be
confused with BURLESQUE." =
Gayety Outlived Competitors.
% The Gayety, long linked with
Jimmy Lake and vice versa, lived
to mourn the passing of Kernan's
Lyceum. which used to be. our
neighbor at Eleventh and Penn
sylvania avenue near the old Har-
vey restaurant. 1t sounded a re-
QUEEN for the old Mutual when
it died natural death on Penn
sylvania avenue between Ninth
Tenth.
The Gayety outlived them to
draw famed patrons, among them
the. late Associate Justice Oliver
Wendell Holmes. The great jurist
often doffed his Supreme Court
robes and troubles to sit in the
Gayety audience and on one oc-
casion is quoted as mumbling
that I'm a man of low
taste"
