Citizens 10 Discuss
"Details Of Six-Year
Public Works Plan
By George Beveridqe

Suggestions from District Of
ficials on specific details of the
proposed six-year public works
program will be discussed at citi-
zens' meeting Tuesday to mobilize
public support for the CITY,
improvement project.
About $50 citizen leaders have
been invited to the 3 pm. session
in the District Building board
room. Out Of the meeting will
grow permanent committees to
help rule on the multi-million-
dollar works projects and then
try to sell them to Congress.
A special committee of District
officials has been working since
September on a 1919 million plan
proposed by a citizens committee
headed by Francis G. Addison, jr.
The Addison groups plan, ap-
proved in principle by the COM
missioners. forms a basis of the
program to go to Capitol Hill.
Proposals Subject to Review.
Engineer Commissioner Bernard
L. Robinson said he planned on
Tuesday to "go into a little more
detail as to what form the legisla-
tion may take"
He stressed, however, that any
proposals will be subject to review
by the citizens committee, which
is headed by John A. Reilly, presi-
cent Of the Second National Bank.
IN addition to a legislative
draft. not vet. completed, Gen.
Robinson said, city officials have
been bringing costs of the Addi-
son proposals up to date and
otherwise reviewing them.
AS a result, costs of some prof.
ects are expected to exceed
amounts in the Addison groups
1919 million estimate. One such
increase, officials said, will be in
the proposed 500 million highway
program. Gen. Robinson said he
has asked that money be included
to buy rights of way for the fu-
ture program.
Sewer Fund Will Be Studied.
Another proposal he will dis
cuss. Gen. Robinson said, will be
formation of a self-sustaining
sanitary sewer fund.
Money for sewer costs now is
paid from the city's general fund
Under the new proposal, such a
fund would cover only the sani-
tary sewer system, leaving the
storm sewer system to the general
fund.
The proposal, Gen. Robinson
pointed out, fits in with an Ad-
olson Committee recommendation
for an increase in water taxes and
imposition of a new sewer tax
equal to half the water bill. In
its general financing plan, the
Addison group also called for
$137 million in Federal funds,
half through a grant and half
through 50-year loan.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Reilly said he
hoped an executive committee
would be formed Tuesday. This
group, he said, could steer forma-
ton of subcommittee, to work
with specific programs, in the
same manner as the Addison Com
mittee was split up.
Mr.. Reilly said he believed that
matters of major policy, however,
should be acted upon by the entire
citizens body.

Citizens Also Urge
| Repeal Of Personal
Property Tox

A larger appropriation to the
District Government by the
Federal Government was urged
last night in a resolution adopted
by the Federation OF Citizens As
sociations.
The federation also adopted a
resolution favoring repeal of the
personal property tax on house.
hold furniture and personal
effects.
But the federation tabled q
resolution, considered contro-
versial at this time, relating to
the 1919 million public works pro-
gram and linking it with more
equitable Federal appropriation
for running the city. 1t alsNtabled
another opposing any tax in
creases or new taxes here until
the Federal Government pays a
fair share for the maintenance of
the District.
These resolutions were laid be-
fore the federation by its Fiscal
Relations and Taxation Com
|mittee. headed by Lester H.
Steinem.
Resolution Tabled.
Tabled was this resolution: IRE
solved. that no increase in taxes
or any new tax be imposed on the
citizens of the District of Column
bia, at least until the Federal Gov
ernment has met its just obliga-
tions and pays a fair share for
the maintenance of the D. c."
Some of the delegates got the
impression that the preamble to
the public works program reso-
luton criticized the $319 million
program. The resolution called
on the Commissioners to endeavor
Ito secure from Congress some rea-
sonable portion of $408 million
withheld and unappropriated
since 1925 as the recognized fair
share of the cost of public works
and maintenance of the Federal
City.
The Commissioners also were
urged to request legislation to re-
quest legislation to restore the
60-40 law. repealed in May, 1898,
or an act to fix an appropriation
equal to an amount in lieu of
taxes on Federally-owned property,
foreign property untaxed and real
property that Congress has ex-
empted from taxes. This was part
of the tabled resolution.
Dinner Planned March II

James Monroe, fifth president of
the United States, was elected at
q most favorable time. The coun-
try had rapidly recovered from the
expenditures of WARMTH trade,
.slanufactures, agriculture flourish
asag. Consequently, the period be-.
game known as the EZRA OF.
GOOD FEELING"
Though opposed by his own
Yparty, the president sent his first
= message to congress recommending
construction of roads, canal and
vat internal improvement to be
paid for by the federal government.
This gesture was bitterly de-
nounced by the democrats, who
claimed that the constitution did
not give to the federal government
this right
During Monroe's administration,
the territories of Florida, Alaba-
ma and Missippi were ceded to
the United State by Spain and
came into the union; but when Mis-
. souri,, a part of the Northwest
Territory, applied for admission,
the great controversy began that
ended in the Civil war. Hereto
fore, all states had been admitted
alternately free and slave-holding.
But slavery was forbidden in the
Northwest Territory, and Missouri,
Q. part of this, wished admission as
q slave state. Bitter debates took
.place in congress between north
'~ern and southern congressman over
the Quetion. At length settle
--snent was reached, permitting Mis-
souri, to enter with her slaves, but
denying such admittance into the
union of any other state north of
-the Mason Dixon Line and West
Of Missouri This was known as the
Missouri Compromise.
John Quincy Adams, sixth presi-
dent was elected on the democratic
ticket, though he had been Repub-
-Jican before the breaking up. of
the party. He still held Republican
s&leas and during his administration,
there was revival of the old party
spirit. For this reason, he was op-
s,osed by his democratic congress.
He also won ill will of the south
by favoring the Protective Tar
riff on manufactured good. The
south maintained that the tariff

was mainly to benefit the north
ern manufacturers. Adams ended
his one term Of office with much
internal work accomplished; other
wise nothing spectacular.
Andrew Jackson, seventh presi-
dent was the opposite of Mr..
Adams. He had always believed
in the Democratic party ideas. He
began his administration by re-
moving all his political opponents
from office and filling their places
with his friends. This became
known as the "spoils SYSTEM"
Jackson's lot as president fell
in critical times and his admins
tration became the most startl-
lag and boldest in history. The
Republicans, now reviving rapidly,
offered strong resistance, even CEN
soring his actions. Under leader
ship of Henry Clay of Kentucky,
they gave, Jackson constant Strug-
gle. He was also opposed by the
anti-masonS and the u. S. Bank.
(After the war of 1872 the demo-
Gratis were compelled to abandon
the strict constructionist principles
and charter. a National Bank. This
renewal of the bank charter was
political issue against the second
election of Jackson. The first
charter in 1871 was a Republican
measure, favored by Hamilton, op-
posed by Jefferson, Madison and
the democratic party, not merely
for the bank itself, but for the la
titude the constitution might be
stretched by congress to do what
it pleased under the plea of being
necessary to carry into effect some
granted power. In 1911 the demo-
Gratis had refused to renew the
charter.)
Jackson was also opposed by the
loose constructionists who advo-
Gated internal improvements, and
the nullifiers. The Notification
Act was an ordinance to do away
with the tariff on goods being
brought into the country from
foreign parts. The democrats
charged that congress had no
right to order such excessive taxes
on the theory of protection" and
that such acts were discrimina-
tory - in favor of one class of en-
ployment in the north at the ex-
pense and injury and oppression
of the southern plantation owners
and individuals Therefore, the
South maintained the tariff was
unconstitutional. They bitterly op-
posed the tariff of 1923. In April,
1880, the leading democrats at
Washington gave a dinner to cele-
brate Jefferson's birthday. At the
close of the regular toast, which
had been so Worded as to suggest
notification, President Jackson re-
buked the whole proceeding by
volunteering another: "Our Fede-
raj Union, It Must Be Preserved"

Carolina, answered with still an

Pearl Primus, American dancer,
has again been honored by the gov
ernment of Liberia. In 1949 she
was awarded The Star of Africa
by His Excellency, President Tub
man. This highest honor, hereto
fore awarded to those of ambassa-
dorial and high military rank, was
given to Miss Primus for cher great
contribution to the understanding
of African culture through the
dance. This world famous dancer
and company, will appear here at
the Phoenix Union High School
auditorium, April 9.
She received special invitation
from the Liberian Republic to per-
form during the Inauguration cere-
monies of the President in January
of this year.
Miss Priums, at the time, was
touring Europe and Israel, but
had to interrupt her Israeli sched-
ule in order to return to her be-
loved Africa. The concert she pre-
sented in Liberia was solo. Secre-
tary of State of Liberia, Gabriel
Dennis, arranged to bring drum
mers, singers and other musicians
from the interior to accompany the
artist. In discussing this with Pearl
Primus, she said, "You cannot
know what it is to. dance with
these musicians from the hinter-
land. They do not perform. They
and their instruments fuse and
all the world becomes a great
heartbeat. It is an experience
words. cannot describe"
Her first engagement on arrival
in London last October was a COM
mand performance for the King
and Queen of England at the Vic
toria Palace Theatre.
Of this appearance, the Daily
Telegraph and Morning Post re-
ported in part as follows: ''It was
the highly stylized Negro dancing
of Pearl Primus and her Company
to the beating of drums which
made feet as articulate as words. :"
Following the command per-
formance, she opened an engage
ment at Princes Theatre in Lon
don, followed by an engagement
at the Shakespeare Memorial Thea
tire, Stratford-on-Avon. She con-
cluded her English appearances on
December 26.
On January 4, 5, and 6, she and
her company appeared at the in
auguration ceremonies for Presi-
dent Tubman in Monrovia, Liberia.
On Tuesday, January 8, she open
ed her Israeli tour, consisting NOf
80 concerts. These appearances
kept her in Israel until February
3. Engagements have been booked
in Paris and on the continent.

Question: For the past few years
we have been using the ordinary
"crack-proof" crack filler. When
a few months have passed, the
filler falls out after crumbling
The cracks are from one-quarter
to one-half inch wide but the
f1oorboardS are still sturdy. Could
you suggest a good filler and a
proper technique Of applying it?
Answer: Such work should be
done during the winter season so
that the heat in the house will
shrink the wood and the cracks
are wide. All dust must be loos-
ened with piece of wire, and then
picked up with a vacuum cleaner
Wood cracks measuring about
one-half inch should be filled with
strips of wood cut to fit. They are
then glued or nailed in place. If
nailed, use very fine brads.

Galvanized Smoke Pine.
Question: Would it be advisable
to paint a new galvanized smoke
pipe? The old one was never
painted and it deteriorated. If so
would it be suitable to apply a
heat-resisting enamel? Must an
undercoat be used?
Answer: Painting the exterior
OF the pipe will not help very
much towards the prevention OF
rust, and the paint on the pipe
will tend to give off smoke and
fumes for a day or so after paint
ing. Most of the corroslon takes
place inside the pipes. Should
you decide to paint the pipe, wash
the galvanizing with vinegar and
when dry. finish with a smoke
pipe enamel or aluminium paint.
Knotty Pine in Kitchen.
Question: Could you tell me
the disadvantage in using knotty
pine in the kitchen? Does it
have to be cleaned and is rewax-
ing necessary very often?
Answer: Knotty pine, in re-
cent years. has been widely used
in the kitchen and if properly
vanished does not need any more
care than kitchen surfaces that
are enameled. Waxing should not
be used as a finish on pine in the
kitchen. It absorbs grease and
does not offer sufficient protection
against moisture generated by
cooking and baking.
