Mcmillan Asks Meals
Be Sales Tax EXEMPT

Exemption of all restaurant
meals from the Districts 2 per
cent gross sales tax was proposed
today by Representative Mcmillan,
Democrat, of South Carolina,
chairman of the House District
Committee.
At the present time restaurant
and hotel meals are exempt up
to SIPS, but the tax applies to
bills above that.
Mr.. Mcmillan took a lead in
recommending this change in the
sales tax on two grounds. One was
that meals should not be taxed
and, two. that District revenues
could stand the exemption. He
was advised that the change
would mean loss of revenue of
about 100000 year.
The District now is collecting
about $13,513,000 a year from the
sales tax.
A similar move has been planned
by Representative Beall, Repub-
lican, of Maryland, also member
of the District Committee, but he
has not yet introduced his meas
ure.
The proposal would be in keep
ing with a recent change in the
Maryland sales tax law.

were professional gamblers just

Reformers Tap ReicheIt.
In February of last year several
citizens came to Mr.. Reichelt and
asked him to run for mayor on a
reform ticket. He had turned
down similar suggestions in l947.
But last year the proposition
appealed to him. The men who
asked him to run were Oscar Har-
low. a fuel merchant, who is on
the board of the Mount Rainier
Methodist Church: Joseph Boze-
man and the late Chauncey Glas-
cock. Both MessrS. Bozeman and
GlaScock were former councilmen
and employees of the Federal Gov
ernment in Washington.
Almost a Native.
Mr.. Reichelt, a Democrat, had
lived in Mount Rainier since 1910
when he was 2 years old and his
parents moved there from Wash
ington. His father was plumber
He attends Trinity Lutheran
Church in Mount Rainier, where
his parents were members.
The campaign was not to be
against the incumbent mayor, but

police.

One of his innovations were the
Junior Olympics OF several years
ago, which annually brought out
the best elementary school track
stars.
In golf, he introduced miniature
or tin can golf to the play
grounds, was chairman of the Dis
trict Employees Golf Tournament
committee and a director of the
Federal Golf Association.
He also directed the Federal and
District Government employees an
nual tennis tournaments, and was
chairman of the old Washington
and Maryland soccer league.
Helped Promote Marathon.
His track activities included the
once-popular Fourth of July 10
mile runs, for which he was Wash
ington chairman, and he was a
leading figure in the promotion of
the AAU marathon run when it
was held here.
Finding time to develop in
terests for groups of every age,
he promoted the Junior Bird
men," youngsters who found rub
ber-powered model airplanes pop
ular before gasoline engines were
introduced.
In 1914 he was chairman of the
Water Safety Committee of the
District Red Cross and when the
Presidents Cup Regatta was born,
ne, of course, was on the commit
tee.
With these promotions filling
all his daytime hours and many
OF his nights, Mr.. Tennyson found
little time for other interests. He
was, however, a member of the
Touchdown Club.
Mr.. Tennyson. who lived at the
Washington House, 2120 Six

his widow, Mrs. Virginia Tenny-
son, and two sisters, Miss Berna-
dette Tennyson and Mrs. Theresa

Long after Jimmy's closed-and

Boards Pickle Factory.
For one thing, Sam Beard, a
notorious gambler, had opened a
pickle works in the town. He was
distributing his products to bars
and lunch counters all over Wash
ington. But Mount Rainier citi-
zens were not convinced that his
only financial interest was in
pickles.
John Keleher, a gambler of the
old school. had an Office in Mount
Rainier. Keleher and his wife be-
came involved in counter divorce
suits in Washington and his wife
made continued allegations that
the Office was gambling head
quarters.
Then there was the poker game
at the American Legion club
house. Mr.. Reichelt, just back
from World War II cruise in
the Navy which took him as far
as Pearl Harbor. was a Legion
member.
The game had just been a little
friendy one. But pretty soon it
became so hot that the ordinary
members could not participate.
They watched with great interest.

But the next day Mr.. Fay issued

Mr.. Reichelt feels that this was
the turning point Of the cam
paign. He was elected by 480
votes, a wide margin, considering
that only a few more than 1000
votes were cast.
But one of his running mates
lost. Mr. de Lozier was beaten in
the 1st ward by a few votes.
1t looked as though Mr.. Rel
chelt and Mr.. Thompson were
going to be a minority in the
council in which three members

Mrs. Bolton Dep|ores
New Decor al Capitol
As Smacking Of Films

The complete redecoration of
the House and Senate chambers
at the Capitol was compared to
the confused atmosphere of both
boudoir and cinema by a House
member yesterday.
Representative Bolton, Repub-
lican, of Ohio gave the critical
preview of the refurbished cham
bers last night in speech at a
testimonial dinner in honor of
Myrtle Cheney Murdock, author
of "Brunidi, Michelangelo of the
United States Capitol" The din
ner was at the Woman's Ma
tlonal Democratic Club.
Mrs. Bolton not only considers
the job an aesthetic flop. She
thinks it may have defeated it's
acuostical purposes as we'll. She
said the new sound absorbent
ceiling, which is perforated and
which required displacement of
the stained-glass state seals for
merly built into the roof, has
been covered with eight coats of
paint.
Moreover, the new hidden lights
concealed in the ceiling behind
what Mrs. Bolton calls IAN MIRA
eagle" give off a glare which she
said members found "intolerable"
during the last session.
The old stained-glass State seals
are now boxed up somewhere
awaiting the decision of State
delegations" Mrs. Bolton revealed
In their place she says, are new
plaster seals arranged in a border
on the ceiling "in crude colors,
quite unrecognizable, as cheap in
appearance as the new ceiling
lights, which you can find dupli-
Gated in almost any new motion

She also deplored the removal
from the House chamber of the

render of CORVALLIS to Wash

The old battle cry, Turn the

across the land.
Politicians among the "outs" are
tanning moral indignation against
the "ins'-a return to a political
technique that was practically
abandoned during the depression

paramount.
Revelations of the corruption

An interesting example of the

be found in a small municipality

In Mount Rainier, Herbert

mayor last year on his promise to
drive the gamblers out. He sue
