Executive Bus Plan Pushed
Despite Chevy Chase Goodness

The Capital Transit Co. has
not given up on its proposed
executive express" downtown
commuter plan, despite a dis
couraging lack of response in
the Chevy Chase area.
Only IS replies came in from
1000 mail inquiries to Chevy
Chase homes explaining the pro-
posed extra-fee service.
These IS liked the idea, how
ever, said E. c. Giddings, Cap
ital Transit vice president. The
difficulty was that only 13
wanted to go downtown at any
one time, and only five of them
wanted to return at any one
time.
In addition, the IS were pretty
well scattered, he reported. This
fact made it hard to develop a
route which would appeal to
enough commuters to get the
plan started.
But, Mr.. Giddings said, 1--WE
have confidence the idea is a
good one, and will attempt to
canvass other areas"
The plan was designed to ap-
peal to businessmen and others

Vendors Lose Plea
For Tax Revisions

The District Commissioners
today turned down a request by
the G. B. Macke Corp, which
handles vending machines, fol-
help in reducing its sales tax
burden.
The company asked the city
heads to classify sales of food
from vending machines as
meals" subject to the Districts
2 per cent sales tax for purchases
above so cents, rather than as
grocery sales" upon which the
District charges l per cent tax
for purchases above 20 cents.
The company also suggested
an amendment to District law
Which would limit the sales tax
which it must pay to the amount
OF tax 1t can collect from Gus
toners.
The Commissioners agreed
with Tax Assessor James L. Mar
tin that this would convert the
sales tax from a levy upon ven-
dors to a tax upon customers.
Mr.. Martin explained that the
tax now is charged against the
merchant, who is entitled to get
as much of it from the custom
ers as he can.
The concept Of a consumers
tax. he declared. had been re-
jected by Congress.

former city editor of the Wash
ington Times Herald, who was
named librarian last year.
Capitol Hill still awaited other
patronage changes, among them
the post of chief of Capitol po-
lice. During the last Republican
Congress William j. Broderick
was the chief.
The job of Senate sergeant at
arms already has been returned
to Joseph Duke. He replaces
Forest A. Harness, former Re-
publican Representative from In
diana. Similar changes have
been made on the House side.
Changes also are noted among
elevator operators and House
and Senate page boys-repeating
the action two years ago when
Republicans assumed control.
