BroYhiII Presses
For U. 5. Payments 10
Replace Lost Taxes

Representative Broyhill. Re-
publican, of Virginia yesterday
said the Federal Government
should make payments to the
District and the States to make
up tax receipts lost to them by
Federal ownership of land.
He made the suggestion as he
spoke to the Sons and Daugh-
ters Day Foundation. District
Commissioner Renah F. CANA
lier also spoke.
Mr.. Broyhill pointed out that
the District and Arlington are
losing huge sums in real estate
taxes because Federal installa-
tions occupy so much taX-free
land. He said that, IN Arlington,
the Federal Government has
one-sixth of the land and in the
District close to half.
If the Fedel al land in Arling-
ton were owned by private in
terests and taxed, the county
would get about S6 million a
year, Mr.. Broyhill contended.
He said tile Federal Govern
ment should pay it's share of the
taxes. The problem should be
attacked by a co-ordinated effort
of local officials in the Washing
ton area, he added.

$500 and Determination lead
Two in Research Field to TOP

New York in 1906 from Szikszo,
Hungary Back home he had re-
ceived some public school edu-
cation and had served an ap-
premiership. But this was not
enough. He pursued scientific
study in New York at Cooper
Union and Columbia University
while working for the Elmer &
Amend scientific supplies COM
pany.
Saw Need For Items.
After coming here in 1916, Mr..
Freeman also took courses at
Georgetown University.
In 1919 he and Mr.. Reynolds
saw a need for research on and
the development of high preci-
sion tools, scientific instruments
and laboratory apparatus. So
they launched the venture.
Two years later the business
had grown so much that they
were employing IA or Is others.
When the Federal Triangle prof.
ect was started, it became neceS-
sary to seek other quarters. So,
in 1924, the partners bought a
building at TIA Girard street
NV. This gave them 21a times
as much space as formerly.
Still expanding in 1885, the
company built its own plant - a
structure with $4,000 square feet
on Georgia avenue. A second
unit of $4,000 square feet was
added in 1912. They built still
another unit, with $4,000 square
feet. one year later.
Steadily increasing demands
for AMINCO products, and the
necessity for tighter security on
certain Government contracts,
led to the construction of the
new building at Savage this year.
This plant. opposite the Laurel
Raceway on Baltimore boulevard,
adds 10000 square feet to the
company's plant space.
Build Atom Smasher.
The 800 persons employed at
Silver Spring have worked on
many different types of orders.
At the moment, some are en-
gagged in constructing the fourth
atom -Smasher built there for the
Atomic Energy c o m m sion.
These complex machines are sent
to some of the finest laboratories
in the country.
A few years ago AMINCO
designed and built q camera 80
feet long, with bellows large
enough to permit tall man to
stand erect inside.
During World War II, employees
worked around the clock as the
plant was turned over completely
to wartime contracts. The COM
pany received the coveted Army
Navy E award for developing and
manufacturing three types of
hand-operated fuSe-SetterS.
Sometimes, American Instru-
ment Co. gets orders from the

District Heads Weigh
Proposals 10 Change
Names Of ! Avenues

The Commissioners today
weighed the possibility of chang
ing the name of the proposed
Arizona avenue between Canal
avenue and Van Ness street NV.
to Glover -Archbold parkway
and changing the name of Dale
carlia parkway between Lough-
borough road and Westmoreland
circle to Arizona avenue.
There was no opposition to
naming the Glover -Archbold
parkway at public hearing
today. However. Harold Gray.
president of the Palisades
Citizens Association. said the
association would rather have
Wheeler street and Wheeler
place NV. named Arizona ave-
nue. and let Dalecarlia parkway
remain as it is.
One of the reasons, Mr.. Gray
told the Commissioners, was the
confusion of having Wheeler
street and Wheeler place in the
same vicinity. He said it would
be more descriptive to keep the
name of Dalecarlia parkway be-
cause it is near the Dalecarlia
reservoir.
Land Donated for Park.
Attorney Arthur HELEN ap-
peared for the Glover family and
asked that the parkway be named
for the late banker, Charles C..
Glover, who did so much to beau
tify Washington. Attorney Hugh
H. Obear, representing Mrs. Anne
Archbold, also favored changing
the name to Glover-Archbold
parkway in appreciation for the
donation of land for the Glover
Archbold Park and other bene-
factions to the District.
Mrs. Harold B. Hinton, vice
president of the Progressive Citi-
zenS' Association of Georgetown,
approved changing the name to
the Glover-Archbold parkway.
Harry K. Boss, Washington
builder, said Mr.. Glover's work
in eliminating swamp land which
is now Potomac Park would en-
title Mr.. Glover to recognition.
Favored by Retired Banker.
Joshua Evans, jr., retired
banker, who was associated with
Mr.. Glover for many years in the
Riggs National Bank, said Mr..
Glover always had the betterment
of Washington at heart. He fav-
ored changing the name.
Also present at the. hearing
were Mrs. Archbold. 1905 Reser-
voir road NV; John Archbold,
