Partial Text of Board of Trades Appeal to Senators on Budoet

the Federal payment at this time
would do violence to our local eco-
nomy. Some might argue that if
we raise the real estate tax Z per
cent that would offset the $2.4
million in reduced Federal pay
ment. This is a very unsound
approach to serious problem.
Higher Tax Called Self defeating.
Many of the long term leases
provide that the tenant should
pay increases caused by the ad-
justment Of tax rates or higher
assessments. These units are
fighting hard today against the
heavy odds of increased expenses
to make their enterprises sound
and profitable. I use the word
profitable advisedly because un-
less they are profitable they can
not survive.
If the increased tax load is
borne by the owner it depreciates
the value of the investment be-
cause the net return is lower.
In other words. by the vehicle
of taxation, we can follow the
mistakes of other municipalities
and tax ourselves out of the mar
ket and DESTROY the dOWnt0vn
business area.
Others might suggest that We
increase the sales tax rate. This
plan would create a competitive
disadvantage for our merchants in
Washington because in Virginia
there is no sales tax law and
Maryland has the same rate but
allows more liberal exemptions.
The merchants are very much
concerned about inroads on their

diate envirOnS, 1t is absolutely
essential that in our deliberations
and final conclusions, considera-
ton will have to be given to the
relative situation of the District
tax-wiSe and service comparable
ity with the other segmentS of the
Metropolitan Area.
The consistent lowering Of the
Federal payment, together with
any other actions which will tend
to the creation Of a deficit in the
Districts operation will compel
those who live and do business in
the District to assume ever greater
tax burdens.
This committee is we'll aware of
the many shifts of residents and
businesses to the surrounding
area. Every added incentive to
this trend will result in loss of
property values. particularly in the
downtown area, which will be re-
hected in a reduction of revenue
for the District.
Tax Exemptions Cost SCI Million
In no other American city is so
large a percentage exempt from
taxation. II all the Federal, Dis
trict and other exempt property
were taxable. revenue to the Dis
trict would be approximately $61
million.
The real estate which is taxable
will yield for 1853. $37,775. 900. Or
35.2 per cent of the total esti-
mated revenue of the general fund.
Since the real property alone
owned by the Federal Government
in the District would yield, if tax
able. approximately $18 million in
revenue, and the water bill is over
a million dollars, we feel certain
your committee will feel that our
request for a restoration of the
House cut in the Federal payment
and our plea that there should be
an increase in the amount ap-
propriated from Federal funds for
operation of the many activities
of the District Government is
amply justified.
The Board Of Trade represents
the business enterprises of our
city who own downtown property.
We can envision a substantial
damage to this area if these units
are burdened with higher taxes.
When the Congress enacted
legislation permitting the sales
tax. the last substantial source of
tax revenue was tapped. To lose

corporated in the 1853 estimates
Certainly no prudent man car
quarrel with the Federal Govern
mentS efforts to economic
through the general application
of those premises, but we do be-
lieve. even though it is highly
desirable to generally follow such
policies in enacting the total Fed
Ieral budget. that reasonable and
informed men will quickly recog-
Inize that there are many reasons
why the maintenance and opera
ltion of this municipality involve
special considerations not gener-
ally applicable to Federal agencies.
Cites Efforts for Economy.
The District is not a Federal
agency and the appropriation now
under consideration by you must
have met the above requirements
since it had to have the approval
of the Budget Bureau. The funds
whose distribution to the various
departments you are making de-
cisions upon are, with the excep-
tion of the Federal payment,
raised from local sources and to
that extent quite different from
other appropriations which come
under your purview.
We in the Board of Trade have
consistently sought economy in
the operation of the District gov
ernment, and We shall continue
to do so. However, this commu-
nifty is faced with a substantial
backlog of unmet needs clearly
essential to serve the rapidly
growing population of the District
and to facilitate the movement Of
the more than one-half million
people who are now living in the
adjacent area but who are prin-
cipally gainfully occupied within
the Districts boundaries.
Generally speaking, We have no
quarrel with the budget submitted
to the Congress by the Commis-
sioners. We consider it worthy of
note that, for the first time in
many years, in spite Of the con-
sistent growth of this community
the proposed budget was less than
the prior fiscal years appropria-
ton. zs3.a5
We are satisfied that the Com
missionerS' would have preferred
to submit a substantially larger
one had revenues been available,
and that, in preparing a budget
within the existing estimates of
revenue availability. the Commits
sioners of the District generally
speaking, reduced the estimates to
the maximum extent possible
without sacrificing essential COM
munity services.
Outsiders Also Use City.
While I am here as a represent
ative of the Board of Trade, I
have also been invited to serve as
Ia member of a Citizens Commit
tee appointed by the Commis-
sioners to review proposed long
term capital outlay program for
the District aggregating over $500
million. I am therefore exceed
ingly interested in the action to be
taken by your committee in the
restoration of the Federal payment
and the cuts made in such essen
tial services as health. police and
fire protection and others affect

BANQUET

The Goulds chapter of the as

their second annual parent and

The banquet was very successful
with many of the school officials
attending. Our program was for

part being the principal, Mr.. r.
G.. George, Mr.. L. A. Waters and
the adviser, Mr.. H. A. Thompson.
The menu included Southern
fried chicken, mashed potatoes,
steamed squash, shredded lettuce
and tomatoes salad, hot rolls and
butter, candy and roasted pecanS,
ice cream and cake
The speaker of the evening
was Gerald Wells, an MIA stu

We think no adult could have
substituted for such an occasion
and a wonderful and inspiring
speech.
The delight came in showing
off to our parents, especially, and
to tender their hearts by display

proof that their work in keeping
us in school is not in vain; that
their encouragement to and for

GOV. DEWEY MAY
BE IN RACE
AGAIN

NEW YORK - (ANP) - Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey, twice defeat
ed Republican candidate for the
presidency, may find himself
taking to the hustingS for the
third time following July's polit-
ical powwow in Chicago.
That can come through the
deadlocking of the convention by
the Eisenhower forces.
Right now, these two pre-con-
vention candidates are battling
for votes at the convention. One
day, Taft is leading, the next,
Eisenhower pumps ahead. The
total delegates claimed by both
run pretty clos.
Other Republican figures, Har-
old Stassen, Gov. Earl Warren,
Gen. Douglas Macarthur, declare
they want no part of the nomi-
nation. Political prophets see
Gen. Macarthur benefitting by
the Eisenhower deadlock.
But other prophets see Gen. Mac
Arthur relegated to the sidelines
as a candidate, but strong ar
gument against the Democrats.
Up in Albany, Dewey says
nothing, but there is little doubt
that he knows what's going on.
Every day, Taft aienates his
chance of getting support in the
form of votes from Negroes. His
stand on civil rights, FEPC and
states rights have been the kiss
of death as far as Negroes are
concerned.
They are not going to vote for
any candidate whose appraisal of
these important progressive mea-
sures is tinged with Civil War
theories. It's pretty difficult for
Republicans to see this, although
they are ballyhooing Gen. Eisen-
hower's boyhood spirit of fair
play for Negroes when he was in
high school.

japanese Woman Leader
Charges GPs Corrupt Morals

TOKYO, JAPAN - (ANP) -
One of Japan's leading women
appealed to the wife of General
Matthew B. Ridgway last week
to bar American servicemen
from japanese brothels and iso-
late Immoral U. S. Troops"
The leader, Mrs. Tamaki Uye-
mura, 62, graduate of Wellesley
college in the u. S. A. made the
plea in an open letter to Allied
Supreme Commanders wife, in
what is said to be the most criti-
cal attack on the morals of the
American by the japanese since
their surrender in 1045. It &C
cused American servicemen Of
corrupting japanese morals.
"Mme. Ridgway," the letter
began "step into Tachikwawa "a
u. S. air base center in Toyko's
western suburbs) and you will
see hundreds and thousands OF
women lining up on the streets.
American soldiers pick up one
each from the lines and go some
where"
Mrs. Uyemaura head of the
Young Women's Christian As
sociation in Japan, continued;
"such prostitutes now total be-
tween 10000 and 10000 and eaG1
$500 million. This is a big buSi-
ness - next to the Korean war
which totals $40O million.
MANY children are now play
ing pan pam (post war slang for
prostitute) among themselves.
'"Many innocent japanese girls
worship westerners. They try TO
speak English and to be friendly
to Americans.
"These girls are quickly Sc
duced and eventually become
prostitutes. These girls have
mothered 100000 inegitimate
children, and deserted many OF
them during the hast six and one
half years.
"Mme. Ridgway, there must be
many respectable young men in
the American army, and there
must be also, many mothers, Sis
ters and finances who are wor-
ried, and who are praying for the
good luck and well-being OF the
u. S. soldiers here.

soldiers, and please help the Jap

Civil Defense Head Stresses Need
 For Preparedness

Speaking at a Juneau Chamber of Commerce meeting, Col. James C. Crockett, Territorial Director of Civil Defense, warned of the Russian power.
 "A war with Russia will not be an easy one to win. Many sacri- fees will have to be made for the Reds have the atom bomb and their tanks and aircraft are among the finest in the world today" he said.
 Having travelled widely through out European Russia as Military Attache to the American Embassy in Moscow, and as an intelligence officer who made a detailed study of the military potential and Situ- ation in the Soviet, Crockett speaks with authority.
 Alaska is a prime military tar get for the Russians as they will attempt to destroy our d r screen and interceptor plane baS- es," he warned.
 "Civil Defense in the territory is vitally important. Should bombs be dropped on Juneau, Anchorage or Fairbanks without the neces- Sary Civil Defense preparations, it would prove disastrous" he declared.
 Crockett appealed to all civic minded persons to get behind the Civil Defense program and stress it's importance to stamp out the feeling "It can't happen here"
