Washington tourists home
bound from Europe and Asia
shouldn't blame Congress too
much if they get tied up in Gus
toms inspection, the Customs
Bureau says.
The delay is only partially
caused by lack of manpower. One
Of the main headaches is the
fact that many of the biggest
liners come in at the same time.
This week, for instance, the
United States and the Queen
Mary arrived in New York on
the same day, at the same hour,
and at adjoining piers. At the
same time five more large liners
docked nearby. Even with a
doubled staff of inspectors, there
would have been unavoidable de-
lays. And this. Customs says,
happens frequently in the Ma
tlon'S major ports.
(The steamship companies
blame it all on nature. The
tides determine time of dock
ing, they point out. and the
only way to avoid a jam would
be to stagger departure times
from Europe and Asia. This
would necessitate co-ordinated
schedules, which some COM
panieS might not agree to.
And besides. one Office asks,
who's being inconven-
ienced?")
New Methods in Punch.
Actually, officials maintain, the
annoying delays some Washing
tonianS have run into this year
probably haven't been much
more bothersome than those oc-
curing in previous tourist sea-
sons. 1t true Customs has it's
manpower problem-Acting Com

ported today. They were 4.23
per cent higher during the first
seven months of the year than
in the same period a year ago.
July sales of 10,076, ,09I therms
compared with 9,589,564 therms
a year ago, the seven-month
total 166.455 ,480 comparing with
l59,699,4l7 therms in the 1852
period. Included in July total
were 93,708 therms sold to SUBJ
scribers.
A breakdown of the company
figures for July accounted for
5,761 ,008 therms sold in WASH
ington on 181,114 meters. Sales
in nearby Maryland totaled
2.502,547 therms to 1885 Gus
toners. The Rosslyn. Va, branch
accounted for 1.718,828 therms

Air Passengers Goin
With Eastern Air Lines set

lines Of the United States car
ried 81 per cent more passengers
in the first half of 1858 than
they did during the initial six
months of 1852. The airlines.
according to official statistics,
handled 13.768,600 passengers
through June, more than they
carried in the entire year Of
1948.
OF this total, according to
Harrison Knapp. Eastern's traf-
f1c and sales manager. Eastern
flew 2,439,943 passengers, a 29.6
per cent increase over the 1882
218 of January-June, 1852. This
six-month record represents more
passengers than Eastern handled
all through 1949, he said, and
more than it carried in the first
IL months of 1850.
How Washington contributed
to the Nations and Eastern's
gain in air travel is demonstrated
by the fact that in the first half
of this year 1925 Eastern pas
SengerS boarded at Washington
National Airport, 19 per cent
above last years Six-month

May and June broke all other

DR.. Abernethy paid regular
taxes on this money until 1949.
when he informed the Internal
Revenue Bureau that he did not
plan to pay the tax longer as he
considered the money a gift. The
Internal Revenue Bureau chal-
lenged this Interpretation, and
the case went to the Tax Court.
In its decision disclosed today,
the court ruled:
1--WE think it inescapable from
the facts submitted that the pay
ments by the church to petit
toner William s. Abernethy
were in consideration of his long
and faithful pastoral services.
1--WE are impelled to sustain
the respondent (the Internal
Revenue Bureau) and hold the
payments here involved to be
compensation to William s.
Abernethy within the meaning of
the Qnternal Revenue) Code
and that accordingly they con-
stitute taxable income"
The court said that it could
not conclude that. "the pay
ments were bestowed only be-
cause of personal affection or
regard or pity, or from general
motives of philanthropy or
charity"

The United States Tax Court
has ruled that the Rev. William
s. Abernethy, retired pastor Of
Calvary Baptist Church, must
pay income taxes on $2.400 he
received from the church in
1949.
The tax dispute hinged on
whether money the church
handed over to DR.. Abernethy
were gifts or payments for past
services. The court ruled that
the payments were not gifts, but
ordinary income. The resulting
tax will be $202.
DR.. Abernethy retired as pas
tor Of Calvary Baptist in 1941
after serving the church for 20
years. The church transmitted to

For Orderly Planning

The chief Of naval operations
did not mention the possibility
Of q Korean truce but he did say
"the military feasts and periods

the military and naval planners

"You recognize the situation
today" he said in a speech to
the graduating class of the In
dustrial College of the Armed
Forces at the Interior Depart
ment Auditorium.
Because of limited experience
in terms Of history, I think we
may come to a false premise that
total mobilization and warfare
are coterminous If not coexten-
sive," he continued. "It is the
brush-fire war, the police action
sort of war, or what Lenin called
partial war which is not ade-
quately or properly met by total
or nearly total mobilization. They
often become big wars If not
taken in hand.
"Within the past three years,
it has been shown that we can
fight what is sometimes thought
of as a little war. if not speedy
victory, then at least well enough
to keep the war from spreading.
That is something at least"
