next TUESDAY announcer measure
to be reported out by the COM
mittee today providing supple
mentary funds for various Fed
eral agencies. and some District
operations, for the present fiscal
year.
Clear for Conventions
Ordinarily the House does not
get around to the first of the
annual appropriations bills until
late February or early March.
Scheduled appearance of the
committee reports today indi-
Gated congressional ambition to
adjourn fairly early next sum-
mer in advance of the national
political conventions IN Chicago
and San Francisco,
Recent closed session teSti-
mony released last night by the
House Appropriations Suhconl-
mittee on the Treasury revealed
no great opposition to that de-
partment,s request for $648, 507,-
900 for the fiscal year beginning
next July l. This is about $1S
million more than the total avail
able for expenditure in the cur
rent fiscal period. 1t may be
trimmed somewhat by the House
committee.
Previously published tram
scripts of hearings on the Post
Office Department requests
showed that So billion was re-
quested for the coming fiscal
year. an increase of $128 million.
The House subcommittee
round OF testimony on Treasury's
problems included the income tax
plight of Joe Louis. former
heavyweight boxing champion.
Louis Draws Cheers
Mr.. Louis, currently matched
against the Internal Revenue
Service for more than 81 million
In unpaid taxes, drew personal
cheers from subcommittee men,
bers but scant congressional sup
port.
1t was q no-deciSion event and
Mr.. Louis was not even there.
Internal Revenue Service officials
and subcommittee members, ac-
cording to the hearing transcript
issued today, voiced sympathy at
seeing SO stalwart a champion
practically on the ropes, taxwise.
But" said subcommittee
Chairman Gary. Democrat of
Virginia, the releasing of in
come-tax payments is no way
to express, the appreciation OF
the Nation for the services of its
heroes. Unless the income tax

Roosevelt Hotel Loses
Appeal for Licenses

The Roosevelt Hotel. 2101 SIX
teenth street NV, yesterday
dropped another round in its
running contest with city au-
thorities when it lost an appeal
from a ruling Of the Superin-
tendent Of Licenses denying it
new hotel and public hall Ii
cenSeS.
The plea was turned down by
the Districts Board of Appeals
and Review. The decision was
based on a recommendation from
Hearing Ofiicer Charles w. Hart,
who commended the hotel has
failed to operate its dining room
regularly and thus had forfeited
its right to a hotel license under
District regulations.

laws are lmpartially enforced the
tax becomes q farce"
New System Suggested
Mr.. Gary and other members
of the subcommittee suggested
however, that some system be
devised, through a withholding
method or similar arrangement,
whereby professional athletes
currntly considered as "inde-
pendent" businessmen could
avoid the danger of huge back
taxes.
The chairman disclosed also
that he and other members of
Congress have been urged by
an organization known as the
New York Amsterdam News
Committee for Enactment OF
Legislation for the Settlement
of Joe Louis Federal Taxes to
see what could be done about re-
lieving the tax troubles Of Joe
Louis.
Certainly" Mr.. Gary re-
marked. ANY effort to relieve
Joe Louis of taxes would be an
innovation in the procedure and
would set a very, very harmful
precedent "

Time spent in the home shop
is usually fun. but it's also firing
on occasion, especially at the
end of a long day on our regular
job. We can lessen this fatigue
by organizing the shop to save
unnecessary steps.
That is the aim of today's
project-a reel-type holder of
containers for small parts to
hang permanently near the work
bench.
Occupying little more than a
cubic foot of space. it keeps
within easy reach many of the
small items Of hardware and ac-
cessories most often needed in
ordinary repairs and construc-
ton.
All the fiat wood required can
be cut from a 16-foot strip of
straight-grained pine an inch
thick and 2 inches wide.
Sawed to Right Width
So-called 1-by-2-inch lumber
is too narrow (actually this runs
only about ~ inches wide). SO
it will be necessary to rip wider
wood to the Q inch width. The
only other wood needed is a piece
of 1-inch hardwood doweling
about 10 inches long. to serve
as the axle.
For the spider arms Of the
revolving shelf, we cut four H.
inch lengths Of the fiat stock and
nail them into two perfect
crosses. In the exact center Of
each cross we bore a 1-inch hole
then thread the two crosses onto
the dowel rod, making sure the
crossed arms face the same way
on both spiders.
