there was with the angel null
titude of the heavenly host prais-
ing God and saying, Glory to
God in the highest and on earth
peace among men of good will"
Since that time DR.. Zuleta-
Angel said, I'VE know that we
will never achieve the infinite
gift Of peace but by means of
prayer and worship"

81 Million Lag
In Grocery Tax
BringsAction
DC. Stoffs Auditing
Books of Stores to
Boost Collections

The Districts new l per cent
tax on groceries is yielding 81
million year less than had been
estimated, Tax Assessor James
L. Martin said yesterday.
In an attempt to increase col
lections, the assessor said, he has
all 18 members of the inspection
and auditing STATS of the sales
tax division out In the field au-
diting books Of stores which sell
groceries.
The new tax, enacted August
! to help support the Districts
10-year $305 million public works
program, was estimated to pro-
duce $3.5 million q year.
However, said Mr.. Martin, re-
turns for the first three months
indicate the yield win be not
more than $2.5 million. He de-
clared other tax increases are
producing as estimated.
Continue to Rise.
August returns for the grocery
tax were $156,000; for Septem-
ber. $184. ZOO, and for October.
$l86, 900.
Mr.. Martin conceded his Office
had made q mistake In drafting
the original estimate Of yield for
the grocery tax when it was hur-
riedly demanded during congress
sional hearings on the public
works bill early this year.
However, he said, this would
not explain the full 81 million
lag in collections. As an indi-
cation of this, he pointed out. an
analysis of August and Septem-
ber figures indicates that each
person in the District bought an
average Of only 81 worth Of gro
ceries a month.
Start Always Slow.
He declared that either Dis
trict grocery buyers are shopping
outside the District, or the city Is
not getting all the returns 1t
should receive. Mr.. Martin said
he is convinced the latter Is the
case.
He said he hopes the educa-
tional enforcement campaign
now being conducted by the sales
tax Office will increase tax re-
turns.
Also, he declared. new taxes
traditionally take several months
to produce their full estimated
yield. He said the sales tax.
enacted in 1949, took six months
to reach the level of estimated re-
turn.
Others Up to Expectations.
A happier picture for the city
appears in the increase-from
2 to 3 per cent-in the tax on
transient hotel rooms. This,
Mr.. Martin said. is exceeding the
\estimated yield of 100000 q
year.
Surveying other tax increases,
Mr.. Martin said the scent per
$100 increase in real estate taxes
is producing the estimated $780,
600 q year; a scent per fifth
increase in liquor taxes Is COM
ing UP to expectations of $1.1
million per year; $145, 900 q year
is being realized from 25-cent
increase in beer per barrel, and
the raise from 5 to 6 cents a
gallon in the gasoline tax is ex-
ceeding estimates of $4,000 a
year.
And, Mr.. Martin declared,
contrary to industry forecasts,
the increase in the cigarette tax,
from cent to 2 cents q pack,
is fulfilling expectations of $780,
600.

Appeals Court Backs
zoning Board on
Parking Lot Issue
- I.
kNkJg
stan Photos

The U. s. Court Of Appeals
for the District of Columbia to-
day reinstated an order of the
Board Of Zoning Adjustment
authorizing a parking lot at New
Jersey avenue and d street Sc.
The boards order previously
had been set aside by the U. 8.
District Court for the District Of
Columbia on the grounds that
the boards findings Of need for
the lot and that 1t would be q
convenience to the neighborhood
were not supported by substan-
tial evidence.
But In reversing the lower
court today, the appellate court
declared: Though the proposed
facility will interfere with the
use Of neighboring property for
residence purposes. the question
whether 1t will interfere 'unrea-
sonably' can only be answered
!. in the light of all the cir
cumstances. and these include
the critical parking problem on
the south side Of Capitol street.
Room to Differ.
The court continued: There
Is. we think. ample room for diff
ference OF opinion on this ques-
tion. The Board Of Zoning Adj
justment Is created and qualified
to decide such questions Of
opinion. Courts should not SUBJ
stitute their opinion for the
boards.
The opinion was split 2-to-l
with Judge Henry w. Edgerton
writing the majority opinion
which was concurred in by Judge
George r. Washington.
Prettyman Dissents.
Judge z. Barrett Prettyman
dissented. He said, in part:
There Is q critical parking
problem in every spot in down.
town Washington and In many
spots outside the downtown area.
But that Is no reason for viola
tion Of zOring maps and regu-
lations. It is no justification for
permitting the invasion Of every
residential district by paved and
lighted parking lots. Zoning
Is not designed for the benefit
Of intruders into neighborhoo oods:
1t Is designed to protect the
character Of neighborhoods as
such character either exists or.
develops. s..
The zoning boards action had
been opposed by the Capitol Hill
Southeast Citizens Association.
