House Hearing Set
Thursday On District
Home Rule Measure

Chairman Harris of the House
District judiciary subcommittee
yesterday scheduled a public hear
ing on the Senate e-passed Wash
ington home rule bill for 2 pm
Thursday.
Both friends and foes of the
bill, he said. will have opportunity
to testify; but he added he had no
plan to protract the sessions to
hear restatements of earlier years
testimony.
His announcement, however,
brought a declaration by a Central
Suffrage Conference spokesman
that his group will seek to force
the bill to the House floor for
action.
Alexander B. Hawes, president
Of the conference, said the suf-
frage group would be delighted
if the Harris subcommittee hear
ings led to a favorable report of
the bill to the House.
Not Optimistic.
Previous experience with the
House District Committee, how
ever" he said, "does not incline
us to any optimism"
He recalled that a bill similar
to the one passed by the Senate
has been pending before the House
District Committee without action
since January, 1851.
Representative Klein, Democrat,
of New York, author of one of
the home rule bills, has an
nounced he will start a District
Committee discharge petition, un-
less there is prompt action.
To force a bill out Of commit
tee, the signatures Of a majority
of the House membership, 218. are
required. Such a move was tried
unsuccessfully in the 81st Con-
gress on the Kefauver home-rule
bill, which passed the Senate but
later died in the House District
Committee.

Battle Signs Measure
Creating 10Th District

RICHMOND. Va. Mar. IL
Gov. Battle yesterday signed two
major pieces Of legislation ap-
proved by the 1852 General AS
sembly--the Tucker bill opening

sional redistricting bill.
Both win become law June 90.
The Governor failed to get AS
sembly approval of q request he
made on the final day Of the ses-
|sion Saturday on the redistricting
bill. He asked the Senate to tack
an emergency clause onto the
measure so it would become effec-
tive upon signing. This would
have allowed Congressional candi-
dates time enough to qualify for
the July Is primary.
Since the emergency clause
failed. Congressional candidates

9th Graders Learn to File Income Tax

Whether to compute income tax
on q long form or a short form is
generally considered to be the
|problem Of a salary Garner.
But it also confronts ninth
grade business course students in
the District junior high schools for
a couple Of weeks at this time
of year.
Taxes. and particularly income
taxes, have been a part Of the
curriculum of the general business
course in the ninth grade for about
three years.
Unlike most of their elders, the
youngsters square OF with such
adult nemeses as the 1040 and the
1040A with no more qualms than
they approach a problem in ele-
|mentary algebra.
In Mrs. Anna J. Stems class at
Banneker Junior High School,
students get a thorough ground
ing in the art Of filing in these
forms. They work practical probe
LENS in computing taxes.
Mrs. Steen also makes sure the
students understand that Federal
taxes are set by Congress and
that control Of them rests with
the citizens who elect the Senators
and Representatives. Experts from
the Internal Revenue Bureau
have helped Mrs. Steen in her
teaching by explaining the re-
turns from their viewpoint.
Three of her students already
are helping their parents with
their income tax returns for 1851.
At Jefferson Junior High
School, Mrs. Irene Hepting's
students also are finding practical
use for. the course.
More than half the members of
her class hold social security
cards, and four Of them are flll-
ing their own income tax returns
this March.

Builders Told Of Plan
To Let Them Share in
RedeyeIopment Work

The Washington Building Con-
gress received official assurance
yesterday that every effort will be
made to give priority to local en-
lterprise in redeveloping the South
west area.
Officers Of the Redevelopment
Land Agency told a crowded
luncheon meeting of the congress
in the Mayflower Hotel that alter
nate plans for the initial project
should be ready for submission at
the May meeting of the National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission.
When it is finally determined
how to open up the Southwest
area for redevelopment. Executive
Director John r. Searles, jr., ex-
lplained, "then you builders will
know what you can do."
Approval Of NCPPC is necessary
under the Redevelopment Act be-
fore the District Commissioners
hold public hearings on the No.
project.
Seeks to Avoid Mistakes.
Mark LanSburgh, chairman of
the Redevelopment Land Agency
who presided, said there is a great
need for understanding of the
program by business, technical
groups and citizens, if the earlier
mistakes Of the former Marshall
Heights project are to be avoided
and the Southwest plan is to be
carried out successfully. John A.
Remon. vice chairman of the
agency and also chairman of
lNCPPC. was present, with some
Of the Federal planning staff.
The building congress was told
that $5 million in Federal grants
viii be available for land acquisi-
tion, to be matched with $2.5
million from the District. The
Districts contribution will be in
cash and public works. In addi-
tion, it was said, the land agency
may use its borrowing power to
|get some $40 million to SIS mil
lion in loans for future use in
developing the entire program.
Malcolm A. Burrows, assistant
director, briefly outlined proce-
dures for the rebuilding. After
the land is cleared, he said, it will
be offered for sale to private build
IerS and enterprises. He stressed
that local business will be given
the first chance. The sales price,
he said, will be consistent with
improvements on the land.
Hearing on Offers.
The land will be put UP at pub
lie hearings for offers, and after
10 days the awards will be made,
Mr.. Burrows said.
The Land Agency is not re-
quired to give detailed plans, and
is exempted under law, also, from
the requirements of competitive
bidding. But he said that, after
the problems Of land use are final
ly determined. builders will be
able to get q very good idea Of
what is required of them.
James Banks, in charge Of fam
lily problems. told the meeting the
success Of redevelopment depends
very much on the, successful re-
location OF families evicted from
the area.

| Senate Receives Bill
10 Lei District Adopt
Daylight Saving Time
By Harold B. Rogers

Congress today appeared ready
to give the District authority fol
daylight saving time. but agar
for only one summer.
The Senate had before 1t q
bill passed yesterday by the House
to limit the District Commission
|ers' power to change the time fol
this summer only.
The House. after its annua,
debate over changing the clocks
here, struck from a Senate
passed bill the proviso that woulc
have given the city heads perma-
nent authority in the matter.
The bill would authorize day
light saving time from the last
Sunday in April to the last Sum-
day in September.
Several Attacks by Foes.
Several attacks were made on
the measure in the House by op-
ponents, principally from the
farm areas. The issue first came
to a head over an amendment
later defeated, to require all Fed
eral agencies and Congress itsen
to stay on standard time.
Representatives Jones, Demo.
crat, of Missouri and O'Hara
Republican, of Minnesota urged
that the Federal Government be
kept on standard time.
The House passed eight other
bills. two of which went to the
White House. and six to the SEN
ate.
Credit Bill Withdrawn.
Another, permitting hotels and
restaurants holding liquor licenses
to sell liquor on credit If they gel
an extra license was Withdrawn
by Chairman Mcmillan, after
sharp debate. and a standing vote
OF 81 to 80 approving it. This pre-
vented a roll call vote asked by
Representative Rees, Republican
of Kansas, who had opposed the
measure.
Bills sent to the White House
would permit charitable and .reli-
gious organizations to invest in
corporation stocks and would
provide that certain fees could nc
longer be collected by the clerk OF
District Court here.
The House amended in minor
detail and sent back to the SEN
ate a bill to increase from $100 tc
5000 the monthly exemption from
garnishment of earnings of a
family head.
Inauguration Resolutions.
Three House joint resolutions
relating to arrangements here fol

tion in January went to the SEN

committees on fiscal affairs.

to increase the District gasoline
tax from 4 cents to S cents, also

Commissioners Order
Sutton to Survey
Reaction to Move

Fire Chief Millard H. Sutton to-
day was instructed by the Com
missioners to report to them on
the present sentiment of the Fire
Department toward racial integra-
ton of the fire fighting force.
Chief Sutton was summoned fol
a discussion Of the subject at the
regular Commissioners board
meeting this morning. At the
close Of q 7-minute conference
Commissioner John Russell Young
announced the fire chief would
report. probably next week. on
"juSt what the situation is.''

hue later amplified this state
lment. :.
Want Appraisal Of Aides.
He pointed out that the Com
missioners have not yet received
Chief Sutton's views on the ques-
ton since he was appointed chief
about a month ago. Mr.. Dono-
hue explained that the board is
anxious to know Chief Sutton's
personal feelings on the subject
as well as his appraisal of his
top assistants and the ordinary
|f1re-f1ghters' feelings about inte-
tgration.,
| Chief Sutton's predecessor, Jo-
|seph A. Mayhem. recommended
integration last October. Chief
Mayhem pointed out that the step
would make maximum utilization
of present personnel. At present,
as then. Negro fire companies are
|overstaffed, whereas white COM
|panies are undermanned.
Congressmen Critical.
The Commissioners unanimous
ly approved Chief Mayhew's rec
ommendation, but refrained from
putting an integration order into
effect when certain Congressman
objected. Commissioner Donohue,
as recently as last week. said he
intended to move as soon as pos
Sible to remind the objecting
Congressman, particularly Repre-
sentative Davis, Democrat, of
Georgia, that the city heads are
anxious to put the new order into
effect.
Such notification ostensibly will
be delayed now until Chief Sut-
