Contract Voted
For Librarian

The board of trustees of the
Takoma Park Library Associa-
ltion last night voted a contract
for Mrs. Frederick L. Pratt, who
served as librarian without pay
until 1910 and who was one of
the library's founders in 1885.
Recently, a report on library
administration was made and
Mrs. Elon G.. Salisbury. board
president. indicated Mrs. Pratt
might be asked to retire. How
ever, after a conference last night
the 63-year-old librarian was
given a contract and her annual
salary was continued at $3.50.
Mrs. Pratt and her attorneys,
Joseph B. Simpson, jr., and Joe
M. Kyle. met with the board in
ia three-hour closed session last
night. Mr.. Simpson said his
client submitted a written answer
to the board of trustees report.
Mrs Salisbury today declared
the differences between the board
and Mrs. Pratt involved such adj
ministrative procedures as per-
sonnet management and the
keeping of records. She said
Mrs. Pratt had agreed to make
changes in library methods.
Last spring, the library. which
is principally supported by city
tax funds, moved into new
building at l01 Philadelphia ave-
nue.. Since its creation in 1885,
the library has grown consider
ably. Its yearly budget at pres
ent is close to $4,000.
Earlier this year, the library
association adopted the practice
of giving formal contracts to
library employees and set up per-
sonnet qualifications and library
operation standards. Mrs. Pratt's
contract, the first written agree
ment she has held during her
service with the library, does not
specifically refer to a time limita-
ton.

Arts Commission Vetoes
Garage Lacking Windows

Lack of windows in proposed
Ithree-story parking garage ir
Georgetown has prompted the
Fine Arts Commission to oppose
the project.
Commission Chairman Davi6
E. Finley revealed his objection
in a letter to the District Com
missioners yesterday. The design
calls for the open-air architec-
tural treatment commonly giver
parking garages around town
these days.
The case involves the applica-
ton of Golden Commissary Corp
for building permit to erect the
structure mostly on an interior
lot at Thirtieth and Thomas JEFF
ferson streets south of M street
NV. Access to the building
would be by way of a ramp from
Thirtieth street.
The corporation would con-
struct and own the structure
and plans to lease it to Park
way Motors for storing and serv-
icing new and used cars.
Although the property is zoned
second commercial, permitting
garage use. residents of surround
ing homes have vigorously OBJ
jected to the proposal.
The matter has been aired be-
fore the District Commissioners
and last Monday Golden COM
miSsary filed suit in the U. S
District Court for the District of
Columbia to compel the city
heads to issue the necessary per-
nit.
The basis of the suit is the
Old Georgetown Act, which re-
Iquires a recommendation from
the Fine Arts Commission on
proposed new construction in
Georgetown within As days after
the building permit has been ap-
piled for. The As days elapsed

Defend Record
Quenstedt Charges
OF Injection Denied
Bye. o. P. incumbent

LeLCeTS 1rOu TWO OeIuOCTaCS
were used by Republican Repre-
sentative Broyhill last night to
defend his record while new
charges Of inaction were hurled
at him by Warren D. Quenstedt.
Mr.. Quenstedt is the Demo-
cratic candidate running against
Representative Broyhill in nearby
Virginia's 10th congressional
district.
In a television appearance over
station WTTG. the G. o. P. in
cumbent said a careful examina-
ton of his record would show
that 80 proposals he had adj
vanced were either written into
the law of the land or became
effective by executive action"
It was the closest reference he
has made during the campaign
to Mr.. Quenstedt. who a week
ago charged that Representative
Broyhill succeeded in getting
only a few bills through Congress
during the four years he has
served.
Chairman Murray Letter
The letters produced by Rep
reSentative Broyhill were from
Chairman Murray of the House
Post Office and Civil Service
Committee and Committee Clerk
William NJ. Mcleod, jr., OF the
House District Committee. Both
are Democrats.
Chairman Murray wrote:
In reviewing your bills which
were referred to the House Post
Office and Civil Service Commit
tee in the 84th Congress, I find
that II have been incorporated
Into public laws or in admini-
Istrative orders"
1 Mr.. McLeod's letter stated that
five Broyhill bills passed the
House and Senate and became
law.
7 Mr.. Broyhill said Is other pro-
posals succeeded in becoming law
or becoming effective through
administrative action.
AS an example of administra-
tive action carrying out legisla-
tive intent, Mr.. Broyhill cited
President Eisenhower's move to
plan for the removal of temper
airy Government buildings. Mr..
Broyhill recalled that he had
sponsored legislation for such
!, action, but it became unneces-
sary after the President acted.
Attack Continues
In a separate television APP
pearance over Station WMAL
last night. Mr.. Quenstedt con-
tinued his attack on the legisla-
tive record of his opponent.
Mr.. Quenstedt recalled that
more Potomac River Bridges
!, were part of Representative
/, Broyhill's campaign platform
four years ago.
well. what do we have?"
asked Mr.. Quenstedt. I'VE have
the same number Of bridges as
we had in 1852, but we have
more people using them.
How long does it take to plan
a bridge? How long does it take
to build one?"
He was particularly critical of
Representative Broyhill's role in
the central area-or Roosevelt
Island-bridge.
Here Joe Broyhill's record is
one Of inconsistency and con-
fusion" said Mr.. Quenstedt
Repeated attempts to get ac-
ltion here have failed mainly be-
cause Joe Broyhill first opposed
ia tunnel in favor of a bridge
land after it looked like this
would become reality. he sud-
denly threw the whole matter
Into turmoil by Advocating con-
lstruction of tunnel.
How long must people of the
10th district put up with this
failure to produce? We have no
new bridges and we have no
tunnels despite Joe Broyhill's
-four long years in Congress"

Mahoney Asks
Tax Relief for
Se|f-Emp|oyed
Would Aid Persons
Saving Money for
Private Pensions
By GENE GOODWIN


George P. Mahoney, Demo-
cratic candidate for the Senate,
put himself on record today for
favorable tax treatment for
self-employed persons who put
money aside in private pen
sion plan.
Mr.. Mahoney'S headquarters
released the statement as the
candidates campaigned in Prince
Georges County. In it he is
quoted as saying, II wholeheart-
eddy support legislation similar
to the Jenkins-Keogh bill"
This bill. which died in the
House Ways and Means Com
mittee of the last Congress, was
aimed at encouraging the self
employed. such as farmers, small
businessmen. doctors and law
yers, to provide for their own
retirement.
Deferred Payment of Tax
1t would allow such persons to
postpone payment of Federal in
come taxes on up to $4,000 a
year which the taxpayer would
set aside in a retirement fund.
AT present, some Is million
employees are covered by pension
plans of 10000 corporations
which are given special consider
alton under our income tax
laws" Mr.. Mahoney's statement
said. There are no comparable
provisions of the law to permit
10 million self-employed persons
to enjoy similar advantages in
setting up voluntary private pen
sion plans"
The great advantage of the
Jenkins-Keogh plan would lay
In favorable tax treatment, COM
parable to that received by COR
porations and their employees
during the period in which self
employed persons normally earn
most heavily and strive to make
more provision for later life"
the statement added.
Taxes Now First
"At present. they cannot do so
without first paying taxes on
earnings used for that purpose.
THE fact is. of course, that
after making provision for cur
rent living expenses and paying
taxes on all earnings, they have
little remaining to set aside for
old age"
Mr.. Mahoney was scheduled
today to speak at luncheon of
the Southern Maryland United
Democratic Women's Clubs at the
Oakcrest Country Club in nearby
Hillside.
Later this afternoon, he was
booked in at a big free beer and
barbecue" rally at RoSecroft
raceway, at which Harold Rus.

eran and double amputee, also
