Domoqinq Conflict of Dates

! The filing date under the new Federal
income tax law is April Is, instead of March
15-and April Is is also the date for filing
District of Columbia income tax returns.
The April Is date for local tax returns was
set originally-as in some of the StateS-to
give income taxpayers a breathing space Of
at least 80 days between these two heavy
demands on pocketbooks. The local law
should be amended, so that the breathing
space will be continued.
Changing the local date, however, is
not without its complications. Moving it
forward to May is, for example, will make it
more difficult for the assessor to estimate
the amount of available revenue for the
current and ensuing fiscal years-and such
estimates are important in framing the
local budget. To move the local filing date
ahead Of the Federal filing date would put
the cart before the horse, in sense, as the
Federal tax return is usually the base for
computing local returns.
Whatever the difficulties, however, they
must be resolved in favor of the local tax
payer. To expect him to file returns and
make initial payments on both Federal and
local income taxes on the same date is too
much. The taxpayers need, in this situa
tion, Is the one that must be met.

Charles Warren

The death of Charles Warren at SO re-
moves from the Washington scene a gentle,
learned and much-beloved man.
Mr., Warren was born in Boston, but he
had been familiar figure in the life Of the
Nations Capital since an appointment by
Woodrow Wilson brought him here in 1914
as Assistant Attorney General. His career
as a lawyer was distinguished one, but Mr..
Warren was better known as an outstanding
historian and authority on the Supreme
Court and the Constitution. In 1928, he was
awarded the Pulitzer Prize for his work,
'"The Supreme Court in United States
History"
Democrat to the core, Mr.. Warren
nonetheless was sturdily independent Of
partisan doctrine in matters which touched
upon his convictions respecting the Ma

he testified against Democratic admins

Southern States. Although personally op-

Good Appointment

The State Department will lose one val
liable "trouble-shooter" and gain another in
the forthcoming shift of the undersecre-
taryship from Walter Bedell Smith to Her
bert Hoover, jr. General Smith acquitted
himself well in tough jobs during World
War II and later as ambassador to Moscow
and as head Of the Central Intelligence
Agency, a fact which led President EiSen-
hover to appoint him as Secretary Dulles
top assistant in January, 1852. He has
stayed on at the urging Of the President,
despite poor health and attractive offers of
outside employment.
The son of the former President, who
will succeed General Smith on October /,
also has proved his capacity for serving in
hot spots His most recent trouble shooting
assignment was in Iran, where he played
leading role in settlement of the Iranian oil
dispute. In those ticklish negotiations he
was acting as official representative of the
United States Government. Before that
Mr.. Hoover had done a number Of important
special jobs for American groups and for
foreign nations, particularly as a consultant
on technical and economic problems. Like
his father, he Is an engineer. Secretary
Dulles is fortunate in having Mr.. Hoover
ready to step into General Smiths shoes.

Dancer on the Streets

A trio of so-called juvenile delinquents
attacked man on street in New York
few days ago and killed him. There was no
provocation-just case Of three vicious
hoodlums who beat and kicked man to
death. More recently, four Brooklyn juve-
niles have confessed to two murders, a series
of assaults and two horsewhippi
just for fun.
Things are not that bad in Washington.
But they are bad enough. Robert W. Sci
christ, 54, was walking in the 200 block OF
street Northeast the other evening when
he was attacked by three or four teen-age
boys. They knocked him down from behind
and beat him, turning into an alley when
he cried out for help. There was no attempt
at robbery, and, apparently, no other mo-
tive. Just another gang Of vicious hoodlums.
This assault received only passing men
tion in the newspapers. But that is hardly
surprising. Assaults, yokings, purse snatch
ings, stick-ups, etc., have become too nu-
merous for one more to be especially note
worthy.

Those who like eggs for breakfast
and who doesn't?-will find full fare in
an advertisement by the Poultry and
Egg National Board of Chicago in a
recent number of the Journal of the
American Medical Association.
It supplies good eggful Of informa-

Eggs in the modern diet" it is
headed, "rich In protein, relatively low
in calories." (This last, to appeal to
the calory- conscious female Of the
species.)
Americans are becoming increasingly
aware of the need for proper diet for
their health and well-being, says the
full-page spread. (This last, for the
doctors-the term, well-being, Is one
Of their favorites.)
Then they get right down to it!
Eggs, one of the best natural sources
of vitamins, are rich in protein, min

It will be realized that any way you
look at an egg. it is pretty fine dish
and it is much to the credit Of the eat
ing habits Of America that most per-
sons have already made the discovery.
It Is good. however. to feel that
science solidly supports our choice.
Science is so often after us, with a
bomb or something. that 1t Is soothing
to have it comfort us, for change.
This simple egg ad. for instance.
not only has the egg board and the
Department Of Agriculture behind it,
but it also carries the seal Of the great
medical organization, which says:
This seal signifies that all state
ments herein pertaining to nutrition
have been found acceptable by the
Council on Foods and Nutrition Of the
American Medical Association"

of vitamin d, 18 per cent of riboflavin

Eggs are also rich in iron and
phosphorus.
Because eggs contain all the es-
Of complete, living organisms, they are
efficient, economical sources Of nour-
ishment for people Of all ages"
So there you have it. right from
the typewriter Of the Poultry and Egg
Board and they ought to know.

colrt-packing plan, Mr.. Warren was found
in the ranks Of the opposition. No partisan
appeal could persuade him to support any
thing that would tend to- undermine the
independence Of the judiciary.
His social contacts were varied and
warm. In this respect. however, he viii be
remembered best by those who knew him

law and the press who met with Charles
