Joint Public Hearing Set
On D. {. Gas Tax Increase

The fiscal subcommittee of
the House and Senate District
Committees today scheduled a
joint public hearing for next
Tuesday at 2 pm. on a proposal
to raise the District gasoline tax
permanently to S cents a gal
lon.
The local gas tax now is four
cents and on July would revert
to the Scent level now provided
in basic law, unless a new bill
is enacted.
The Commissioners have pro-
posed that the rate be raised
permanently to 5 cents to pro-
vide additional financing for a
big highway and bridge program.
It Is estimated the 1-cent in
crease would produce about $1.2
million extra a year.
Maryland now has q scent tax
and Virginia 6 cents.

headed by Representative Smith,
Democrat, of Virginia, and the
Senate subcommittee by Senator
Hunt, Democrat. of Wyoming.

She said she was building a

Cape Anne, Mass. She will live
there with her cousin, Mrs Charles
B. Tebbs. with whom she now
shares quarters in the Kenesaw

Rhoda Milliken, was born ON
June 26, 1895, in a house on K
street facing Franklin Park, where
Almas Temple now stands. Her
father, William A. Milliken, had
come from Tennessee during one
of the Cleveland administrations
to accept an appointment as assist
ant solicitor general of the Post
office Department. He had been
dean of the law school at Wander
bilt University.
Her mother wrote a Sunday
column for The Star for years
"Tales Of Well-Known Folk
under the by-line Robert Craw-
ford" Her aunt. Sallie v. H
Pickett, was society editor of The
Star. Rhoda went to Barnard

ideal Of public service. Miss Mil
liken was graduated in the class
Of 1918 with a Phi Beta Kappa
key.
Joined Navy as Yeoman.
The first thing to do was to
win the war, and she became a
yeoman In the code section OF
the Navy. The Women's Bureau
Of the Police Department was or
ganized at that time. It's head
was Mrs. Marian Spingarn. who
had married into a family dis
tinguished by scholarship. Mrs.
Spingarn's interviews in the press
gave the young woman the idea
that here was q very real op-
portunity for social services
better opportunity than the pri-
yate agencies of social service
afforded, because the policewoman
was the agent Of the people.
She went to Police Supt. Ray
mond Pullman, and his reaction
was understandable. He told her
she was too small and too young.
She used to go to the Women's
Bureau. which then had only a
room in the District Building. and
worked nights without pay after
her days work at the Navy De-
partment.
When she showed her value as
q worker. she finally got an ap-
pointment-right after the war.
Her family diapproved, but Aunt
Sailie signed her application. Mrs.
Spingarn was succeeded by Mrs.
Nina c. Van Wrinkle. who used to
say, "The trouble with the sergeant
(Mfiss Milliken) Is she never knows
when she is insulted." Miss Milli-
ken became the third head Of the
bureau in 1884.

When Capt. Rhoda Milliken,
head Of the Women's Bureau of
the Metropolitan Police Depart
ment, retires at the end of this
month, Washington will have lost
Ia very unusual cop.
Despite her grazing hair, It is
hard to believe that the captain,
who is 5 feet 4 inches tall and
weighs 118 pounds, is Sc. It is
hard to believe she is a police
officer. She has never worn q
uniform. She usually wears tweed
suits and always wears her hat
in the Office.
She has a disarming smile and
Ia Self-deprecating laugh that
sometimes becomes almost a
schoolgirl giggle. She has some
times carried the 32-caliber re-
volver in her handbag but has
never produced it. In her SO
years on the force, she has only
had to flash her badge once. She
has arrested some pretty big
women who were plenty tough
She calls them her Clients" Once
one Of them got her down and
sat on her.
I'VE both started laughing" she
says, "and then we got up
Friends Mystified.
The reason for her retirement
which she announced yesterday. is
a good deal Of mystery to her
friends. She said she had "an
urge to get up and go" and that
she feared stagnation. She is in
good health. Four years ago the
District budget included pay in
crease that would have made her
an inspector, but that was lost
lin the congressional mill. No ef-
fort to promote her has got so far
since.
She has been a police officer
whose female force has pleased the
merchants with their efficiency in
keeping shoplifters on the run, but
her greatest concern has been
what happens to children Of FAM
lilies broken by alcoholism or crime
and the resulting arrests.
The most unusual thing about
her career has been her activity
outside the department in citizens
groups, which have succeeded in
making many changes in the adj
|ministrations Of the law, among
them the creation Of the Juvenile
Court. The list Of the organiza-
lions in which she has been serv-
ing as a member Of the Board Of
Directors Is yard long.
Reporters who interviewed her
yesterday in her Office In the Is
year old Women's Bureau building
at 1924 Fifth street NV. formerly
the Second Precinct station could
get very little out Of her about the
adventures Of sbeing q police
woman. Copies of the Journal Of
the Criminal Law Association were
piled high on the window sill be-
hind her desk. There was q book
case crammed with books. . few
