Loss Feared If D. {. Raises
Taxes for Public Works

The West End Citizens Asso-
citation last night expressed con-
cern that certain items of the
District Commissioners proposed
tax program to finance a public
works program would lose more
money than they would gain.
Increases in beer, liquor, Gig
aret and gasoline taxes, they
said. would not only cause the
loss of much business to subur-
ban communities, but also de-
crease taxable incomes of Dis
trict businessmen. A recent re-
port showing a drop of 100000
in District gasoline taxes last
year was attributed to higher
levieS.
The group also reiterated its
stand against erection of another
Potomac River bridge built on
District property and paid for
chiefly by District residents. Vir-
ginia residents using the bridge
they argued. would escape the
financial burdens incurred.

that in a more congenial climate
the United States will become

The Optimists' Position.
There are some optimists, of
course. who still hope for more
concrete solutions in Berlin.
They include those who believe
the West should. and possibly
would. accept naturalization of
Germany as the price of German
unification and the evacuation
Of occupying forces. If the Rus
slams propose this. and some dip
lomatS think they may, the
Western team will face one of
its toughest postwar decisions.
But short of this kind of a
solution" there remains the
widespread hope that the Ber-
lin talks will mark the begin
ming Of a new diplomatic phase.
The progress may be slow and
many more conferences may
follow But the goal is nothing
less than the end of the cold
war and the end OF many OF the
political and economic trappings
that go with it.
The Western negotiators may
not share this hope, but they
cannot afford to ignore it. BY
itself the hope may have a pro-
found effect on the outcome of
the Berlin meeting.
It was a powerful factor in
the original agreement by the
West to meet with the Russians.
1t was perhaps the determining
factor in the acceptance of Rus
sian terms for the site of a meet
ing place. The belief that the
Russians would unmask them
selves in the course of the con-
ference and put an end to wish

sents a basic part of Western

Dulles stressed. in the hope there
will be unification of Germany
and in the determination to do
all in his power to achieve that
goal. He told a questioner he
was not reconciled to failure in
the respect.
He said he hoped the confer
ence would be able to wind up
its work within three weeks, but
set no definite deadline.
While not prepared to start
actual atomic negotiations with
the Russians at Berlin, Mr..
Dulles made clear that emphasis
on the Presidents pool for
peace proposal in the current
efforts to work out arrange
mentS for eventual negotiations
does not mean that the United
States will not listen to what the
Russians have to say about abo-
lition of atomic weapons. But
he expressed great skepticism
about such a moves amounting
to anything.
A reporter asked if the Ameri-
can defense program, based on
air power and new weapons, does
not make it impossible for this
Government to agree now on any
international control or aboli-
ton of any atomic weapons.
Mr.. Dulles implied that present
military planning is on a basis
of probabilities. He pointed out
that the Soviet has made a series
of proposals for banning atomic
weapons during the past years
and none of them seems to be
practical.
He added that we might be
surprised by something new and
different in this regard from
Russia. But if SO. he said. this
Government is prepared to adjust
its position and adapt defense
planning to what is conceived to
be in the best interest of the

About Georgetown
Fund for Charity

The long investigation of Po-
lice Inspector Beverly c. Beach S
financial transactions took a
new twist today when the
suspended officer was asked about
a fund collected in Georgetown
to buy Christmas baskets for
INDECENT families.
Inspector Beach spent an
hour and 20 minutes attempting
to explain his affiuence to Police
Chief Robert v. Murray and
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Robert D. Wise. 1t was his third
appearance at a closed session
with the chief and the officer
was frankly downhearted about
his predicament.
He told reporters the chief
wanted some information about
a Christmas basket fund raised
in the seventh precinct
Georgetown-when he was COM
manding officer there in 1851.
Collected From Stores.
From other sources it was
learned that policemen collected
money from businessmen for the
purpose of distributing baskets
to the needy.
Chief Murray said today's ses-
sion probably would be the last
time he would question the in
spector. He declined to say
whether he contemplates asking
a trial board hearing for the
officer. but indicated an an
nouncement may be forthcom-
