Ex-Mayor Kelly Won
1882 Tax Settlement,

In addition. Internal Revenue
Bureau files disclosed, no criminal
or fraud charges were pressed
against Mr.. Kelly. The facts came
to light under the bureaus policy
of airing cases settled by accept
ance OF compromise offers.
Mr.. Kelly, who died October 20.
1850. was chief engineer of the
Chicago Sanitary District during
1927. 1928 and 1929. the years of
the tax assessment. Later. as
mayor, he headed the powerful
Democratic organization in Chi

Mr.. Kelly claimed he had mo
intent to evade taxation" the
files disclosed. One of the off,
Gals who agreed his compromise
offer should be taken was Dwight
H. Green. then chief counsel Of
the Chicago revenue Office, and
later Governor of Illinois.
According to the records, Mr..
Kelly paid income taxes in 1927
amounting to STATS; $443 in 1928
and $15,53O the following year.
The Government decided he owed
additional taxes of $70.927 and
added penalties of $35 .463.
Mr.. Kelly had contended that
"taXes are being paid on large
amounts which were not income,
but represent payments into real
estate SyndicateS and other trans
actions by others whose names
am not in a position to disclose. "
Basis of Claims.
Files showed the bureau claims
were based on unidentified bank
deposits y. currency used to pur-
chase certificates of deposit, cash
invested in a land syndicate and
currency deposited with brokers. d"
The bureau found that actual
proof of taxability' was not on the
record. I decided. therefore. that
upon available evidence a convic-
ton could not be had on criminal
charges and that the case was
weak where fraud allegations were
concerned.

Sound in the Skies

The Acoustical Society of America keeps
its ear to the ground on many problems of
modern life.
Meeting in New York City, the society
recently did some listening in the sky and
came up with the disturbing conclusion that
the age Of jet-propelled airplanes is due to
create a genuinely serious noise problem. BY
scientific measurement, DR.. Leo Beranek of
Massachusetts, Institute of Technology finds
that six-engine jet transport will create an
area of sizable sound irritation over ground
path miles wide and "a miles long.
For those who live or work far from air
ports the whole business may seem academic,
or even sound funny Actually. it is more than
that in terms of property values and human
health. Sound of the intensity created by jet
propulsion can be damaging to the human
nervous system and its constant recurrence
over certain area can be detrimental to the
area as place for work or residence.
Jet design and engineering are still in their
scientific youth, of course, and there are pos
sibilities that the sound problem may be over
come. Aviation has been field of rapid de-
velopment with the greatest emphasis on scien-
tifc pioneering. It is safe to guess that the
industry will not ignore the challenge which
rests in the noise Y makes.

BIomes All on OfficiuIdom

The political merrymaking and ire
sponsible frivolity and carelessness of
United States officialdom during this
election year should be of increasing
concern to the public. It should be ap-
parent to every thinking person that
such conduct is altogether out of keep
ing with the critical times with which
we are now faced.
Public opinion and the appropriate
spirit Of the times are passed to the
people by those to whom they look for
guidance and example; namely, our
President and those whom he has ap-
pointed to high places, and our duly
elected representatives. Our thinking
on public matters is in many ways a
product of the collective force of these
assembled minds
The manifestations of this phenom-
enom are many and varied, and have
both domestic and international results.
On the domestic front we find a gen.
eral lowering of morality which can be
traced to the fragrant abuses which
are increasingly associated with public
office. The practices of fair play.
honesty and conscientious service are
exchanged for those of greed and self
gain.
We also find a growing collective un-
concern for our serious international
responsibilities and commitments. Who
can deny that apathy and bewilderment
are not the prevailing public attitudes
toward the Korean conflict? Here again,

st. Pierre turbances reached their
DESTROYED apex in volcanic erup-
ton in the island of
Martinique which devastated the city of
st. Pierre and killed almost all of its

catastrophe broke in The Star of the

suddenly burst from the top of Mount
Pelee. Smoke rising from the crest
had given warning to the doomed COM

there was no danger-even when ami

leaving the neighborhood. The casualty
list exceeded 25.000. In the city proper
only one man survived the blast. He was

Spires of the Spirit
The Wrong Bus

In frequent long walks from his Cam
bridge home. Oliver Wendell Holmes al
ways took with him two things -
measuring tape and a compass. The
genial Autocrat of the Breakfast Table
was lover of big trees and often in
terrupted his pedestrian journeys to
measure their circumference. The COM
pass was taken along to make sure that
he would not lose his way, especially
when the trees lured him deep into the
woods. So the two indispensable instru-
ments in his wanderings had to do with
measurement and direction. They have
very much to do with the journey across
the isthmus of mortal years.
The compass is symbolic of the art of
arriving where one wants to go. It guar
antees that desire and destination shall
coincide. For these two do not always
meet. Alas, alas, ofttimes the terminal
reached is far removed from the one
originally marked on the table.
Some months ago the newspapers told
OF man who got on a bus with the
intention Of going to Detroit. He settled
down for the long trip. asked no ques-
tions, and finally found himself in an
other city. He had boarded the wrong
bus. At first, he simply could not believe
that the town where he alighted was not
the destination for which his plans
called. A very wise and helpful observer
of the busy tribes of flesh and blood
commented thus upon the incident:
Something like that goes on all the
time in human life. On the whole,
people desire good things - happiness,
fine family life, competence in their
work, the respect of their friends, an
honorable old age. Nothing is more
common in our consciously held desires
and intentions than such good goals.
But, after long trip, how many arriv-
ing find themselves somewhere else
altogether!
Certainly, one of the most poignant
experiences of a minister is to face
people who once had very definite ideas
as to what they wanted to do and where
they wanted to go, but who have landed
far short of their hearts desire. Once.
they had high hopes and radiant plans
for the journey they meant to take.
They thought they were willing to pay
the fare to the destination which beck
oned. But, instead. they are now at
the wailing wall of It-Might- Have Been.
1t might have been college degrees
which would prove open sesames into
an otherwise denied scholastic world.

Unofficial Voice of D. c.

In his rotogravure photostory of the
Federation of Citizens Associations,
Harold Flecknee credits them as repre-
senting "the unofficial voice of WASH
ngton." This is a surprising statement,
when one considers the fact that citi-
zens' associations have no colored men,
bers. believe that about one-third of
the District population is now colored.
AS member of citizens association,
I protest Mr.. Flecknee's misleading re-
porting. This type of complacent think
ing keeps D. c. 100 years behind the
progress which our National Govern
ment has made in the field of social and
legal justice. Katharine F. Tiff.

Citizens Advisory Council

citizens council to advise and otherwise
assist the Commissioners will be established
"hen congress approves the pending reorgani-
satlon plan for the District government The
plan does not say how the council is to be
organized nor does it assign functions It
merely authorizes the Commissioners to set one
up, If they desire to do so. The Commissioners
are studying the matter now.
Some helpful suggestions on what not to do
may ne found in the experience of the Citizens
Advisory Council of 1925. It was formed at the
suggestion of the Engineer Commissioner of that
day. Colonel ]. Franklin Bell. The council had
promising start But after few years it was
abandoned.
Perhaps the most serious error was to make
the council representative only of the citizens
associations. Six of its eight members were
elected by the Federation of Citizens Associa-
lions and two by the Federation of Civic
Associations The president of the Federation
Of Citizens Associations was chairman ex-of1lco
The council took its work seriously, and
started out by making helpful reports on legis-
lative and budgetary matters Both the House
and Senate District Committees referred pending
bills to the council, as we'll as to the Commits
sioners, and invited report and comment But
with the attainment of some prestige for itself,
the council incurred jealousy from other civic
organizations unrepreSented in its membership.
The two civilian Commissioners invited as much
criticism when they accepted council recon-
mendations as when they ignored them The
Federation president as chairman of the council,
found himself in the position of serving two
maSters-with allegiance divided between the
Federation, which wanted to run the council,
and the Commissioners, who also had ambitions
in that respect. In the face of such difficulties,
the council Tithered on the vine and the Com
miSSioners dropped it-with no tears visible in
any quarter. .4 .v.oa. 81
Commissioner Donohue has suggested large
council of Is or more members. General Robin
son leans toward a smaller council, or ten or
twelve. The chief problem will be to make the
council generally representative of the conmu-
nifty. But if such representation is carried TO the
extent of including all the special-nterest groups
in town. the result is more apt to resemble the
Tower of Babel than council capable of giving
helpful advice. Mere group representation is
not enough.
If it is going to be effective, the council
should consist of able and intelligent citizens
willing to work for the general interests of the
community without getting themselves involved
in interorganizational political disputes. The
council, moreover should be provided with
competent paid clerical help; it's assigned duties
should be specific and its meetings should be
held at stated intervals
