HAYNES and Wife Lock Selves
Hotel Suite: Sheriffs Outside

before the deputies arrived last
night. The deputies said they
could enter the suite and serve
their order if the door was I'M
locked for any purpose, including
delivery of food.
In a civil case such as this.
arresting officers cannot force an
entry. They can in a criminal
case.
The civil arrest order held by
the sheriffS was signed yesterday
by Supreme Court Justice James
McNalley on the strength of a
similar one from California
courts.
Miss Dru alleged in the COM
plant that Mr.. Haynes con-
cealed assets for the purpose of
defrauding creditors" and owes
her $33.323. The singer has
admitted he owes her $50 900.
He also has violated an agree
ment with her to give her 10
per cent Of his earnings to clear
the bill.

Role as Capital
Increases Costs

Similarly to the foregoing,
the District incurs increased
costs because it is the Ma
tons Capital. Some examples
of these increases are as fol-
lows:
/. The Fine Arts Commits
sion and National Capital
Planning Commission require
that most public works struc-
lures be designed to harmonic
with the master plan for the
Capital City. These require
ments call for architectural
treatment that materially adds
to the cost. The new Highway
Bridge cost $1.182,000 or 81
per cent. extra because of this.
Municipal Center is another
Illustration of fine monument
tai construction characteristic
of public buildings in WASH
ington.
4. The National Park Serv-
ice receives about SIS million
each year from the District of
Columbia for maintenance and
operation of Federally owned
and controlled parks in the
city. In addition, the District
pays approximately 100000
per year to support the park
police. This is more park land
and more park expenditures
than is customary in compar-
able cities.
S. The large volume of Fed
eral structures imposes sig
nif1cant demands on our po-
lice, fire, sanitation and other
services. which cannot be pre-
cisely computed in dollars, but
which nonetheless add to the
cost of building and operating
the city.
s. Because Of Federal ex-
pansion in the area. Washing
ton is now completely en-
circled by a thickly settled
area that is more populous
than the city itself. and which
requires the construction Of
expensive arterial highways
to enable suburban popula-
tionS to move to and from

Essential Services
And Facilities Lao

The Federal responsibility
as to sharing the costs for
building and maintaining this
city is obviously affected by
these complex factors that
apply incalculable pressures on
our costs and on our ability
to meet these costs.
Our economy is now leveling
off. but essential services and
facilities have not kept pace
with the rapid growth of re-
cent years. For some years the
deferral of capital works pro-
vided something of a "cush-
ion" in our finances that de-
layed the present financial
problem until the leveling-off
process sets in.
It has been pointed out in
previous testimony that our
residents will pay per capita
taxes at the median of other
cities in our size range upon
enactment of H. r. 1889. Ac-
tually, because of the fact
that so many people are able
to reside here and legally
avoid some of our taxes, many
residents now carry a dispro-
portionate share of the tax
burden. which does not appear
to be justified by the trend
in incomes in the District as
compared with it's suburbs.

D. c. Municipal Problems Summarized

itation holds down realty val
ues, likewise tax revenues. To
show the effect of this, Chi
cago in its central business
district has an employment
density of about 100000 per-
sons per square mile contrast
ed with 10000 in Washington.
S. Many local residents
maintain their legal domiciles
elsewhere, and thereby entirely
avoid payment of District in
come tax. This could happen
in no State.
6. Many cities partially solve
their revenue problems by ex-
tending their boundaries to in
clude growing suburbs. This
obviously is not possible here.
but is particularly pertinent
to our problem in view Of the
fact that contrary to popular
opinion the median income
level in the District of Colum-
bia is materially lower than in
the surrounding suburbs.

FOLLOWING is the teri of a
statement filed By the District
Commissioners on Capitol Hill
yesterday In Justification for
the proposed 50 million annual
increase in the Federal pay
ment toDard District costs:
AS this hearing on the pro-
posed public works program
and the related fiscal problems
of the District of Columbia
draws to a close, the Board Of
Commissioners would like to
point out, in summary form,
certain of the things that con-
tribute to placing the District
of Columbia problems in a diff
ferent category from those of
other large cities. and the
manner in which these mat
tiers affect the local revenues.
First of all is the constitu-
tional background that stipu-
lated that this city be the seat
Of the National Government
and be under the full legis-
lative control of the Congress
of the United States, as dis
tinguished from other local
political Jurisdictions.

NEW YORK. Feb. 2.-Singer
Dick Haynes and his actress
wife Rita Hayworth kept to their
hotel suite today while two dep
uty sheriffs waited outside the
locked door to arrest him.
The deputies arrived at 8
o'clock last night with a civil
arrest order obtained by Mr..
Haynes former wife. actress
jeanne Dru.
Lawyers for Mr.. Haynes and
Miss Dru followed the officials
on the scene: the door remained
closed 20 them. too. Then came
reporters and photographers.

in the assessment Of real prop
erty here. He asked Mr.. Martin
if he felt a reassessment of
property in the entire city is
needed.
Mr.. Martin replied that he
did not.
He said his Office is up to date
on reasSeSSmentS in the down.
town business area. in Northeast
industrial areas near New York
avenue and in various residential
sections. With additional per-
sonnet he is requesting, Mr.. Mar
tin said. he intends to extend
the equalization elsewhere.
Last year. he said, his ONCE
rechecked the areas west Of Con-
necticut avenue between Penn
sylvania avenue and N street
NV. and is moving now in the
Wesley Heights section where he
himself lives.
Lists Percentages.
The centra! business area. Mr..
Martin said, now is taxed at
about 80 per cent of current
market values. He estimated
generally that apartments are
assessed at between so and rs
per cent of market value and
residences at about SO per cent.
There were these highlights,
meanwhile. in questions asked
Mr.. Martin about the District
Buildings tax-increase pro-
posals:
/. The finance officer said
many District residents register
autos in Maryland and Virginia
because of high personal prop
erty fees. He predicted the
Commissioners proposal to sub
stitute flat-fee registration
charge, based on auto weight,
would recapture revenues and
save his Office administrative
work, despite an initial loss.
2. Senator Beall, Republican,
of Maryland questioned the pro-
posed beer tax boost of from 81
to SO per barrel as out of line
with lower taxes in other States,
including a 93-cent rate in
Maryland. Mr.. Martin noted
that Virginia rate Is $40, and
said a boost of 81 per barrel
translates into increases of
cents per case. 3 mills per bottle
and ! mill per glass.
3. Mr.. Martin defended tax
boosts which he said would cost
seven Gus lines operating in the
District - exclusive of Capital
Transit Goa total of $50, zoo
year. He argued that they
would derive a fair return in
highway and bridge improve
ments under the works program.
The Commissioners, mean.
while, also filed with the SUBJ
committee a response to criti-
cism of their program, made in
testimony last week by Benjamin
Striner. representing the Fedora
ton of Business Mems Associa-
tons. For the most part, they
referred. to specific testimony
given by District officials on the
points raised.

Federal City Stotus
Reduces Revenues

Statements of committees of
previous Congresses have al
ready been placed in the record
as a part Of the testimony Of
the District budget officer on
January q. 1854. These state
ments are even more emphatic
as to the inseparability of Fed
eral and District interests and
the responsibility of the Fed
eral Government or the Dis
trict.
In practice, the operation Of
Washington as the Federal
City serves to deprive 1t Of
substantial revenues which &C
crue to normal cities Of COM
parable size. for example:
/. The District has developed
because Of the presence Of the
Federal Government. and does
not have and probably never
will have independent basic
industries that would support
it. The normal tax revenues
which would be obtained from
such industries are therefore
not available. It also Is ma
tionally recognized that in all
communities the basic source
Of revenues is from business
and industry. and that taxes
from residential areas do not
pay for services rendered in
those areas. The resulting de-
ficiencies in local revenues
must therefore be filled by
business and other taxes. in
Guiding an increased Federal
payment. since the Federal
Government is the true basic
industry" of this city. In con-
nection with this important
matter, we would like to refer
you to the testimony during
this hearing of Mr.. Daniel w.
Bell. representing the Wash
lngton Board of Trade.
2. Federal Government land
amounts to 42.8 per cent of the
total. No taxes are paid on
this land. No other major city
has such large part of it's
land and improvements tax
exempt.
3. Washington also attracts
tax-exempt activities such as
charitable foundations because
it is the Capital City. Each
year more taxable property is
taken of the tax rolls; $40
million more of property is
exempt today than just three
years ago.

Exchange Head Calls
Coffee Cost Due 10
Supply and Demand

Gustavo Lobo,. jr., president
of the New York Coffee and
Sugar Exchange, told Congress
today that coffee prices are sky
rocketing because Of "the law
Of supply and demand. which
has not yet been repealed"
Mr.. Lobo objected to a pro-
posed bill to place coffee trad
ing under supervision of the
Governments Commodity Ex-
change Authority.
Such a change, Mr.. Lobo said,
would lead to "a score of major
difficulties, descriptions and in
ternational complications.
This amendment is unnec-
essary. unrealistic and would
only give false hopes to the
public that a condition of basic
economies of international as
pect can be changed by writing
an amendment to the law" Mr..
Lobo said in a statement to the
Senate Agriculture Committee.
Administrator Differs.
Administrator Joseph Mehl of
the Commodity Exchange Au-
thority. testified, however. that
Government supervision of cof-
fee trading would be helpful.
Senator Ellender. Democrat,
of Louisiana. said the explana-
ton of high coffee prices is SIM
ple-"they (South American
producers have learned a lot
from us about how to manipu-
late prices"
Producers have formed CO.
operatives" Senator Ellender
said. Ito fix prices in advance
of the market. If these prices
are not paid, the cooperative
buys it."
Senator Ellender discounted
any suggestion that middleman
markups have got out of line.
LobO Sees Strictness Now.
Mr.. Lobo said the New York
Coffee and Sugar Exchange
would cooperate with the Gov
eminent If it chose to supervise
coffee trading, but he argued
that his exchange already more
strictly regulates trading than
some exchanges under jurisdic-
ton of CEA. Mr.. Lobo continued:
But there are some things
that are beyond the control of
our exchange, or any other mar
ket. agency or set of rules. Chief
among these is the law of sup
ply and demand. which has not
yet been repealed"
Chandler A. Mackey. an i'm
porter and member of the ex-
change. also opposed regulation
Of futures trading. and offered
another explanation Of rising
prices.
Brazilian producers. he testi-
fed. are afraid Brazilian cur
rency will be devalued further.
Therefore they are hanging onto
their coffee. which can be stored
for years without deterioration,
rather than sell it for cash which
might drop in value.

Gen. Grant Addresses
Dupont Circle Citizens
On Works Program

Maj. Gen. U. S. Grant III,
U. S. A.. retired, said yesterday
that although he hopes Congress
will pass the Public Works Pro-
gram as a method of financing
capital improvement for the
District. specific projects should
be considered later.
Speaking before the Dupont
Circle Citizens Association, Of
which he is member, Gen.
Grant urged that the associa-
ton confirm its objections to
Highway Department proposals
for an E street bridge. to using
@ and r streets as the northern
section of the intermediate
loop for taking traffic through
the city and to the extension of
Route 240 through Rock Creek
Park.
Gen. Grant also asked the as
ISOLATION to consider the effects
of increasing the water and
sewer taxes as a method of f.
nancing the works program. He
said there are still many out
door toilets and inadequate
sanitation conditions in the Dis
trict. and he suggested an in
crease in these taxes might work
against social interests trying
to correct these conditions.
Herbert P. Leeman, a member
of the association and former
president Of the Federation Of
Citizens Associations. said he
is opposed to the works program.
He said he objects to going into
debt to finance a program that
might become obsolete in the
next few years.
