OTTAWA, Ontario, June 80
R. - Canada's 100000 tax
payers get a little more take
home pay starting tomorrow
when a federal tax cut on per-
sonal incomes goes into opera
ton.
The cut is small, roughly 10
per cent when spread over a
full 12-month period but only
about S per cent this year since
only six months remain. But
it is the governments third sue
cessive year of shipping levies
in this field and reduces tax
payments by income earners to
the lowest since 1850.
Federal authorities say it will
keep Canadian taxes well below
those paid in the United States
They estimate, for example,
that a single man earning $4,000
IA year in Canada will pay $720
in personal income tax this year
while his American counterpart
will pay 1902 to Washington.
A married man with two chill
dren, making the same money,
will pay $480 in Canada and
$504 in the United States. Both
figures include old age security
charges. Canadian breadwinners
with families get government
payments ranging from Sc to SO
a month for each child under 16
years. This family allowances
scheme doesn't prevail in the
United States.
The position of Canadian and
American taxpayers is not strict
ly comparable, because Canad-
ians pay hidden taxes in the
way of sales and excise levies
on consumer goods, such as
clothing, radios, television sets,
refrigerators. stoves, automobiles
and other goods.
On the Other hand, many
Americans pay double taxes-to
both Federal and State Govern
ments. There is no double per-

The House Appropriations
Committee today voted to extend
the central east front of the
Capitol and to appropriate $5
million to start the project.
The committee included this
long pending proposal in the
appropriation bill for the legis-
lative branch of Government for
the next fiscal year.
Language in the bill, which
now goes to the House floor for
action, not only appropriates the
IS million to remain available
until expended. but authorizes
the appropriation of whatever
additional money will be needed
to complete the job.
The House is expected to ap-
prove the east front extension
because it went on record earlier
in favor of the project in a
somple House resolution. In
passing that resolution, which
did not go to the Senate, the
House had favored extension Of
the historic east front because
Congress needed more dining
room space.
Approved in Senate
The Senate previously had
passed legislation for the project
and is expected by congressional
leaders to approve the legislative
appropriation bill with that
project in it.
For many years architects of
the Capitol have recommended
to Congress that the front
should be extended for two
reasons, first to correct what
many felt was an apparent lack
of balance of the big edifice as
the iron Capitol dome seems to
overhang the front portico.
In the second place the need
for more space in the old
Capitol building had become in

A Northwest apartment house
that has been a favorite resi-
dence for Soviet Embassy en-
ployes for more than 10 years
has suddenly lost their favor.
Negro families are moving in
The Russians are moving out.
The building is a neat 18-unit
structure at 1919 Thirteenth
street NV. Its owner, Russian
born Charles Baron, has rented
apartments in it to Russian En-
bassy families since 1943 or 1914
Until a month ago, IS of the
18 units were occupied by Rus
slams. The other five apartments
held white American families.
Then, a month ago, MIR. Baron
put up a sign on the front lawn
reading, "Colored-For Rent.
The rest of the neighborhood
was already largely occupied by
colored residents.
Russians Give Notice
AS soon as the sign went up.
the Russians began giving notice.
Eleven Russian families have
left already and the last two are
expected to leave in a few days.
Two colored families moved in
two weeks ago and seven more
are due tomorrow. The five
white families are still in the
building.
Mr.. Baron said he didn't want
to draw any conclusions about
why the Russians are moving,
but he added:
"They are always talking about
Americans. Their propaganda is
that the American people are op-
pressing the colored people. But
after the colored people began
to move in :. :"
Mr.. Baron said none of the
Russian tenants stayed with him
for very long. He said that there
