He asked if they could be made
available to the whole citizenry,"

they're not.
Several persons raised a racial
point about Rosedale Playground
A dozen stood up to indicate they
attended on this score. Chairman
Collins called the subject "out OF
order" however. He promised to
call a hearing, if the citizens
mailed a request. This meeting,
he explained, was for capital
projects" only.
Mrs. Charles D. Collins of the
Dupont Circle Citizens Associa-

Karl K. Cover of the North

He labeled it a "mudhole" and "a
danger spot to our children"

Higher Pay Urged.
Mrs. Thomas G. 8. Christensen
said there should be higher pay
for play directors, better shelters
at eight Fairgrounds and tele-
phones at four. She spoke for the
Mothers Council Of Washington.
Most specific of all was DR.. Ed
ward S. Jones Of the Southwest
Civic Association. For the Randle
Recreation Center, he asked:
One dozen baby swings. one
dozen intermediate swings. sew
eral seesaws, a slide, a sandbox
and three picnic tables.
"And the dog pound Is still un-

The District has placed a CELL

There isn't any ceiling on CAPT.

Not Too Optimistic.
"But based on experience last

Then the citizens started in.
Roy F. Thurston of the Haw-

the first. He wanted new facil-
tiles in East Chevy Chase.
Mr.. Christensen read a letter
from the Americans for Demo

of "glaring deficiencies" at five

By Don S. Worren

Senator Hunt, Democrat, of
Wyoming, concerned over the
continuing tax exemption trend
here, has proposed a means of
plugging these holes.
He placed before the Senate
yesterday a proposal that. if any
more organizations or corpora
tions are to be granted tax-free
status, the United States shall
reimburse the District for the
revenue loss.
'These exemptions are granted
by Congress-" he said. MY con-
Iviction is that if Congress takes
away District sources of revenue,
Congress should provide the re-
placement.
Senator Hunt Is chairman of
the Fiscal subcommittee Of the
Senate District Committee. AS
such, he has found it necessary
to recommend heavy new loads
of taxes on the District.
Opposes Payment Cut.
For this reason. among others,
he has opposed House moves to
cut down on the size Of the Fed
Eeral payment, authorized at $12
million in the last big District
revenue act. He and others are
now fighting House move to
chop this Federal share by 20
per cent or $2.4 million.
Senator Hunt, former Cover
nor of his State, warned the Sen
ate District Committee recently
"a way must be found to stop the
exemption trend.
He served this notice when he
made favorable report on the
latest exemption bill for a WASH
ington headquarters Of an organ
ization having the same setup as
other groups already tax free.
He then sponsored a bill to put
new restraints on any future tax
exemptions.
Adds Amendment.
This bill would require that ap-
plicant organizations must be ma
tional in SCOPE and in existence
for 10 years before an exemption
could be considered. A further
test would be that no profit would
result by reason of tax exemption.
Yesterday he offered an amend
ment to the bill to make exemp-
tion still more difficult. This is
the plan to require the Federal
Government to repay the District
for any revenue loss the District
suffers from exemptions for cor
porations and organizations or.
dered by the Federal legislature.
Senator Hunt said there may
not be time to get action before
this Congress expires. In that
case he said he would revive the
issue next year.

D. {. Alley Dwelling
Survey Authorized in
Move 10 Revise Law

A survey of Washington's alley
dwellings will be made soon to de-
termine whether the city's alley
dwelling prohibition law should be
revised.
The Commissioners yesterday
approved the project, recommend
ed by Col. Thomas j. Hayes, Sd,
Assistant Engineer Commissioner
The move boils down to a desire
on the part of authorities to con-
slider doing away with periodic ex-
tensions of the time limit beyond
which the present low forbids
using homes located in alleys. The
present deadline is 1855. There
have been about half a dozen dead
line extensions since the act was
passed in 1914.
Some Good Homes.
While most alley dwellings are
in inferior condition, a number
have been converted into first-rate
homes in such locales as George
town and Capitol Hill. Nonethe-
less, these redeveloped places are
still subject to demolition the way
the present law is worded. .
This tends to create uncertainty
on the part Of the alley home
owners and to depreciate property
values, Col. Hayes said. The prob
able reason for the recurrent ex-
tensions. he added, is the chronic
shortage of housing in the District.
Several Agencies Represented.
The city heads agreed to the
appointment Of survey commit
tee representing the National Cap
ital Housing Authority. National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission, Redevelopment Land
Agency. the Health Department
and Inspection Department.
This group probably will hand in
its report to the Citizens Advisory
Council. to be formed by the Com
missioners under the city govern
ment reorganization plan.

Board Decides 10 Pick
Own Welfare Aides
In Prince Georges

Inc Prlnce Georges cOmmlS-
sionerS are on record today that
only persons of their own choos-
ing will become members of the
County Welfare Board.
Formal notification to that ef-
feet was forwarded to the State
Welfare Board yesterday after the
county heads approved a motion
by Commissioner Edward j.
Waters.
Mr.. Waters informed his COL
leagues that one of the persons
selected to fill two Welfare Board
vacancies had declined to serve.
Advised to Decline Post.
Mrs. Edward j. Nylen has been.
advised by her physician not to
accept the post. Mr.. Waters said.
He suggested and the board ap-
proved appointment of Melvin D.
Reese, Hyattsville telephone COM
pany employe.
Mr.. Reese would succeed c.
Norris Hartman, whose term ex-
Ipires May 81.
The commissioners have recon-
mended reappointment of Mrs.
Charles o. Appleman to fill the
other post which will become
vacant at the same time.
Two other person have been
suggested by the State Welfare
Board which reviews qualiflca-
tions of prospective appointees.
The county commissioners, who
have the final say, have made it
clear that they will consider only
persons who have their indorse-
ment.
In the letter mailed yesterday
to the State Welfare Board, the
commissioners said, in part:
"The commissioners feel that if
the Welfare Board of it's county
is to operate properly, members
must be appointed to the board
who are interested in not only
welfare work but also the county
in general.
"The commissioners therefore
feel that when they have investi-
gated certain people and have
made their choices and submitted
them to the State that they must
back those people to the exclusion
of others"
Latest in Series of Rows.
Yesterdays development was the
latest in a series which began
March II when the Welfare Board
suspended its director, Miss E.
Susan Hendricks, and asked for
her resignation.
She refused to quit and is pre-
pairing to fight accusations of in
efficiency filed with the State en-
ployment commissioner. Mean
while, a special committee named
by the commissioners has begun
a probe of Welfare Board activi-
ties along lines suggested by the
April grand jury.
In other business the commits
sioners authorized purchase of an
additional Is voting machines.
They also directed their counsel
to report on the advisibility of
granting a permit for a motor
cycle race June in the $500 block

Joint Action Asked
In Cumberland on
Sewer Plant Issue
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, May 17.-Cum-
berland may get out from under
an order to start work on sew
age treatment plant by September
l without going to court.
But the Western Maryland city
will have to make progress in a
proposed joint sewer authority
with adjacent areas of Allegany
County.
Urges Joint Action.
The State Board of Health en-
couraged joint action in a resolu-
ton announced yesterday. It was
adopted after a recent meeting
with Cumberland officials and the
Attorney General.
The resolution authorized the
city to explore the practically of
a joint sewer authority. The view
was that this appeared to be "the
most eminently satisfactory ap-
proach to the disposal of sewage
from the critical problem area of
the Upper Potomac River Basin. -
The health department has
been bounding Cumberland to
treat the sewage it dumps in the
Potomac. It filed an order in
March that directed the city to
start plant by September / and
get it in operation by 1854.
City Files Suit.
The city responded with a court
suit to upset the order, arguing
among other things that the esti-
mated $1.9 million cost of an
adequate plant would shove the
municipal debt beyond accepted
limits.
The Health Board said in the
resolution it would defer action
on its order during the period re-
|quired for officials of Cumberland
to carry on negotiations with Off
cials of Allegany County" But it
asked 30-day progress reports "in

In Baltimore Vote
BY the Associoted Press

BALTIMORE, May 17.-Com-
pletion of Baltimore City's vote
count yesterday showed that
George P. Mahoney, in winning
the Democratic nomination for
the Senate, rolled up a popular
vote total of 136,877 to 122,661

The city was the last to report
its official tabulation of the May
5 balloting. All the counties re-
ported more than a week ago.

372 to 1854, and thereby COL
lected 35 of the city's AZ unit

Mahoney's total convention
vote will be "a, as against 68
for SasScer. The denomination is
