To Resume Monday

House hearings on Washington
home rule bills are to be resumed
at 10 am. Monday.
A recess until next. week was
ordered yesterday by the Harris
subcommittee Of the House Dis
trict Committee, after hearing
from a dozen witnesses in the
first three days of this week. More
than a score remain on the wit
ness list.
Chairman Harris said he hopes
to complete the hearings next
week.
Much of yesterdays session was
devoted to talk about a possible
substitute proposing that all or
most all of the District be turned
back to Maryland.
One witness presented a rather
detailed outline of the bill. He
was Gordon M. Atherholt, speak
ing for the Northwest Council of
Citizens Association. He said
only one Of the nine citizens as
sociations in the Northwest Coun-
Gil has consistently backed home
rule bills.
In opposing features Of the
Neely-Case bill, he objected to
leaving coming matters to be set
tied by the city council. urging
a ban on city debt for five years
and opposed election Of the
Board Of Education.
Mr.. Atherholt also said the
drive for enactment Of the home
rule plan came from q small.

an $4,000 authorization for one
bachelor officers quarters into a
SIT. 900 expenditure although a
Taxpayer might find it difficult to
see any humor."
The boost in cost, the report
said. involved a "gross error" on
the part Of the Army Engineers
and a Misrepresentation of an Air
Force memorandum. resulting in
the engineers getting bids on q
building twice the size Of the one
programmed.
Whether or not there was any
actual violation Of law involved in
the decision of the Air Force to
build double the size BOG re-
|quested, there certainly was q
breach of faith with Congress and
its cognizant committees" the re-
port declared.
The committee said that later
the cost Of this building was in
creased further by $4,000 when
1t was discovered the site was al

was then added to the cost by au-
thorizing completion Of the build
ing in go rather than 80 days.
Actually 26 days were saved by this
The committee re-
port commented:
so for the 26 days saved by ac-
cepting the higher bid. the Gov
ernment spent $1,000 and the need
was to house 81 WAFS for that
time. Simple arithmetic tells us
that amounts to $13 per day per
WAF, or more than double what
it would cost to put them up at
the best hotel in Washington on
a two-to-a-room basis"

Court Of Appeal!
Clarifies Legal
Donliicile Issue
Decision Upholds
Inheritance Taxes
On Edwards Estate

Actions speak louder than words
In determining a persons legal
domicile, the United States Court
Of Appeals held today.
The appellate opinion upheld a
Board of Tax Appeals decision to
the effect that the estate of the
late John H. Edwards, a former
Assistant Secretary of Interior.
must pay $22, ISL in District in
heritance taxes on property here
valued at 100000.
The opinion cited a principle
laid down by the Supreme Court
in a case involving payment Of
income taxes here by Government
employees who claimed legal resi-
dence elsewhere.
In that case the court held
that: I'm order to retain his for
mer domicile, one who comes to
the District to enter Government
service must always have a fixed
and definite intent to return and
take up his home there when sep.
arated from the service. The
place where man lives is prop
erly taken to be his domicile until
facts adduced establish the con-
trary.
Actions More Persuasive
In the current case, the court
said actions are far more per-
suasive than words"
The appeal had been brought by
executors Of the estate Of Mr.. Ed
wards. ..
Mr.. Edwards was born in
Mitchell, Ind. He came to Wash
ington in 1921 as a Post Office De-
partment, solicitor. He held sue
cessive Government jobs until
1888. From that time until his
death in 1945 he continued to live
here at 1923 Connecticut avenue
NV.
The executors of the estate con-
tended Mr.. Edwards legal domi-
cile was in Indiana. They showed
he had retained ownership of his
family residence in Mitchell until
about 1887 when he had the home
demolished because it had fallen
into deSrepair. In addition, wit
nesses testified he had expressed
intentions to return to Mitchell
and build a new home. On oc-I
caSionS when he voted, he voted
in Indiana although there was
some doubt that he had cast a
ballot after 1888.
Listed Indiana Address.
His Federal income taxes were
paid to the Indianapolis collector
and on his forms he gave his
permanent address as Mitchell
and his current address as WASH
ington.
During certain years he paid
District income taxes and filed
personal property returns here.
The appellate court stated that
the intent shown by the executors
appears to have been no more
than a floating one, and" the
opinion continued: zone who
lives in Washington by choice
because he likes its amenities or
its climate - cannot claim the
consideration due to one who
must bend his convenience to the
demands Of public service"
