Alma Nelson Wins Essay Contest

senior, IS the winner or tnls years annual American Le- gion Auxiliary essay contest on Americanism.
 Second place has been awarded to Molly Mahle and third place to Marie Cope. Judges were Mrs. Helena Dib- brell, Mrs. Rosemary Butler and Mrs. Vic Ellis.
 Miss Nelson's essay, en- titled Americanism, a Study of Freedom, appears below:
 Americanism is our devo- tion and loyalty to our coun- try, and since we have gained democracy for a peace-loving people, we intend to keep A. merica free from enemies who might try to steel our treasure of freedom from us. However. we are willing to share our freedom with others. In order for the United States to con- tinue building stronger pillars of freedom that reach other parts of the world, we will need the cooperation of all the nations in the universe.
 Our nation is rich not only in material goods, but in A. merican ideals that are inn printed. Thus, we have be- come a prosperous land where we Americans enjoy a happy and contented life. We lead a democratic life that is guided by spiritual teachings in our churches. When the threat of Communism and bloodshed darkened our future outlook, we turn ed to the church of our choice for guidance. , Through religious freedoms of worships we found comfort and peace of mind.
 | Not every nation has relig- ious toleration, however. yet, they must have this freedom we possess in order to have a , peaceful world, as all people /; must be tolerant of the be- ; liefs of others. One way to . learn toleration is through the church where freedom exists. The freedoms of the individ. ual mind are at the very foun- ation of social welfare and so- cial progress. In their origin they came to us from the long conflicts in England resisting an absolute monarchy. In our own country we shared the belief that these freedoms of the individual mind had to be protected at all cost. This gov. ernment that our forefathers built will endure as it is guid- ed by freedoms of religion, press, speech, and from want.
 Whenever we look back to the Declaration of Indepen- dence and the Constitution as the anchors of our democracy and welfare, we know that we want ours a free nation forev- CT, not a dictatorial regime. For it is democracy that offers

Tax Relief 10 States
For Loss When u. ).
Buys Land Urged

Nearby Maryland and Virginia
tax authorities could apply for
compensation for land removed
from their tax rolls by purchase by
the Federal Government, if legis-
lation pending in Congress is en-
acted.
A bill, introduced after Budget
Bureau study, by Representative
Murdock, Democrat of Arzcna,
now is pending before the House
Committee on Interior and Insular
Affairs. But hearings on this COM
plex program. which is nation
wide, have not yet been scheduled.
The legislation seeks to set up a
general policy on tax compensa-
ton payments to State and local
governments in cases where the
Federal Government purchases
property.
If the measure becomes law
Maryland and Virginia would
share in payments, if qualified.
But the District is specifically ex-
empt, due to the Federal pay
ment toward running the mu-
nicipality. officials explained. The
whole history of the District is
such that it is considered a spe-
cial case requiring separate treat
ment. they declared.
Special Commission Proposed.
The program calls for setting
up a special commission to deal
with the situation. It would issue
rules and regulations.
If. for instance, Montgomery
County, Md. thought it needed
payments in lieu of taxes for land
the Federal Government took off
the tax rolls, here's how it would
work:
The county's taxing authorities
would go directly to the agency
owning the land and present their
tax claim. But the bill, as now
drawn under Budget Bureau aus
pices, contains many variations
and exceptions. So the agency
would have to determine if the
particular property in Montgom-
cry County was subject to a just
claim.
No specific sum of money for
each State or exact properties in
volved are available at this time,
officials said. |
Government Not Obligated.
The proposed legislation isl
careful to point out that the Fed
eral Government is under no con-
stitutional obligation to pay taxes.
Neither must it contribute toI
State or local governments any
sums in lieu of taxes because of
property owned by the Federal
Government. the bill declares. But
the policy would be to avoid in
equities.
Officials pointed out that the
Federal Government now is pay
ing $40 million annually TO States
and local governments. This leg
lslation would supersede present
payments to that extent and
would repeal acts or parts of acts
not in conformity with it.
II payments were to be made
On properties acquired after Sep
tember 8. 1889, when the Presi-
aent declared an emergency ex-
Sted. the cost would be $111.2
II January l. 1916, were to be
made the effective date for these
the cost would be but
1928 millions. If July l, 1850, |.
,e decided upon, the cost would Y
,e only $23.7 million.

Plea Of Not Guilty

pleaded guilty in Fairfax Circuit
Court today as he was about to
90 on trial on charges of crimin-

vised the 25-year-old Payne that

offenSe. followed a similar course.
