Both these officers also are

"Scarface" Otto Skorzeny, the

Safety Councils analyses of traffic accidents
have shown, however, that about 10 per cent
Of serious highway accidents are caused by
mechanical failures.
There is another aspect to this matter that
Maryland, as a good neighbor should not
overlook. Maryland motorists are the only
ones in the Washington Metropolitan Area
who are not required to have their cars
inspected regularly in the interest of public
safety. The District of Columbia and Virginia
long have had inspection systems. Traffic
officials in both these jurisdictions are con-
vinced that lives are saved and injuries averted
every year by keeping unsafe automobiles of
the roads. Yet both jurisdictions permit Mary
lands uninspected cars to circulate freely
within their borders. Why Maryland cars
should be given the privilege of operating here
without undergoing the same safety examina-
tions required of District and Virginia cars is
hard for local motorists to understand

Lincoln Manuscript

Ihere seems to be an unfortunate
misunderstanding with respect to the
character of the Abraham Lincoln
manuscript, dedicated on February q
1858, at the New York Avenue Presbv-
terlan Church, in the presence of
President Eisenhower:
The church has very formally labeled
this writing First Draft of the Eman-
cipation Proclamation" The manu-
script, dated July IA, 1862, contains a
proposed act of Congress regarding the
purchase of slaves, while the Emanci-
patton Proclamation is an effective war
order pertaining to the confiscation of
slaves - two fundamentally different
papers.
On March 6, 1862, President Lincoln
asked Congress to pass bill providing
for the emancipation of slaves through
purchase by the Federal Government.
To his great disgust this recommends
ton was turned down. If q proposed
act OF Congress to free slaves by pur-
chase can be called First Draft of the
Emancipation Proclamation, then Lin
coins proposal of March 6, 1852, should
receive that honor.
On July %, 1852, Lincoln presented a
full draft of the Emancipation Procla-
nation to his cabinet. It contained not
a single thought to be found in the
church manuscript dated eight days
earlier. Because of the inherent differ
ences between these two papers respect
ing form. authority and purpose, they
could not be joined together. One con-
templated action by the President the
other action by Congress. Both could
have been separately approved without
a conflict. The church manuscript of
July IA, 1862, is apparently discarded
amendment of the bill proposed to
Congress on March 6, 1862.
Because Abraham Lincoln has be-
come such colossal figure in our his
tory. 1t is important that inaccuracies
like this be pointed out and corrected.

Inspection as q Safety Factor

The lukewarm attitude which Maryland's
Motor Vehicle Commissioner Thomas Mudd
has taken toward compulsory inspection of
automobiles is in sharp contrast with that of
State traffic and safety authorities in other
States. And it is at variance, also, with the
stand taken several months ago by the Mary
land Association of County Commissioners
The association, representing the governing
bodies of % counties voted in favor of State
supervised inspections at regular intervals.
Commissioner Mudd told legislative COM
mittee at Annapolis that he thought State in
spection would be justified "if you feel that
enough accidents are caused by faulty mecha-
nism," but he expressed doubt that statistics
could Se found to show this. The National

New Fiscal Era Overdue

The hope which Senator Johnston of South
Carolina has expressed for "a new era in our
Federal-DiStrict relations" is shared by every
District taxpayer. The former member of the
Senate District Committee told the Senate that
he had in mind IAN era in which the Nation
Will again recognize its responsibility toward
Washington and act to balance governmental
rule with proper financial support"
AS Senator Johnston pointed out, there was
a time when Congress did recognize this re-
SponSibiity. For more than 40 years the Federal
Government and the District shared the cost
of running the National Capital on a $3.50
basis. Then, in 1921, the ratio was changed to
6O-4O, with the District carrying the larger share
OF the burden. In 1925 the fixed-ratio system
of splitting costs was abandoned in favor Of
the lump-sum principle. The lump sums have
been growing relatively smaller and smaller,
until today the Federal Government has re-
duced its share to less than per cent.
This inequitable division of the cost of
developing and maintaining the seat of Govern
ment, Senator Johnston declared, means in
effect that the Federal Government is "exer-
c1Slng little better than squatterS rights in the
City Of Washington" Yet this sprawling occu-
, pant has spread out over the landscape further
and further with the passing years, reducing
the taxable land area while demanding more
ana more costly municipal services. Today less
than 4S per cent of the real estate in the
District of Columbia is taxable.
Senator Johnston gave some interesting
estimates of what tax-exemption costs the Dis
trict. If al of the land owned by the United
States in the District were subject of the real
estate tax, about $19 million more would be
collected here each year. And if all the foreign
owned property and other real estate exempt
from taxation were put on the tax list, an addi-
tional $35 million would be realized. Despite
these revenue losses, Washington is expected to
provide the very best grade of police and fire
protection, sanitation traffic facilities and other
public services-aS BELTS the Capital of the
Nation.
new era in Federal-District fiscal rela-
tionS is, indeed, overdue. Senator Johnston
suggested immediate return to the hxed-ratio
system of apportioning local COSTS with the
Federal share set at not less than Is per cent.
He called on Congress to make special study
of this serious problem-in fairness to over
burdened District taxpayers and in recognition
of the Federal obligation toward the building
and maintenance of great National Capital.
Voteless Washington is grateful for the persua-
Sive voice which Senator Johnston has raised
In it's behalf
