taxable income. 3 per cent on the
next $4,000. 35 per cent on the
third $4,000. But where the Old law
taxed all income over $4,000 at 4
per cent, the new law taxes the
fourth $4,000 at per cent. the
fifth $4,000 at AS per cent and all
over $4,000 at s per cent.

Personal Property Tax

So far as the ordinary home
owner is concerned, neither the
District nor Maryland employs a
personal property tax. Virginia
does use this tax and the rate
varies by county and/or city. The
current Arlington rate is SAT- per
500 valuation and may increase
by 10 or Is cents. The Alexandria
rate is SO and will stay the same.
The Falls Church rate is $2.75, and
will not change much. The Fairfax
rate is 1910 and will likely go up
with the real property rate. The
accepted practice in regard to this
tax involves relatively low declara-
ton Of value. with the option of
using standard declaration which
is 10 per cent of the assessed real
property value.

District Plan
For Schools
Longuishes
BY JAMES G. DEANE

When the Nation got a $4,000
word blueprint for better schools
from the White House education
conference committee the other day,
some people were reminded that
Washington got school blueprint
OF its own five months ago.
Last November a committee of
civic leaders and educators wrapped
up year-long study of the Capt.
tails schools and sent it to the Com
missioners. The report went on to
the national conference.
Like the national conference re-
port, it focused largely on lacks.
The local study found staff and
classroom shortages, a need for
more attention to retarded, gifted
and emotionally upset pupils, and
inadequate teacher pay. It found
many classes overloaded, school
buildings in bad repair and the
school administration inefficiently
housed in many scattered buildings.
1t found the city's teacher college
also physically inadequate and
needing new quarters.
And like the national committee.
the local group pointed out a solu-
ton to most of the problems-more
money Specifically, it urged that
the city's school financing methods
be overhauled and that more Fed
eral help be sought.
The committee said the city is en-
titled both to bigger Federal pay
ment and to the school,
aid that has given millions to other
"Federally impacted" areas, includ-
ing WaShington's suburbs.
When Robert " Fleming, head of
the Riggs National Bank and COM
mittee chairman. sent the 99-page
report to the Commissioners. he
urged that new committee be Gre
ated to follow it up-a recommen-
dation undersigned by the national
conference, which urged more citi-
zen and governmental action on all
levels. So far, though, here in the
District there has been no follow
up.
Support Is Gratifying
Washington educators were sur
prised - and gratified - by the
strong support the national White
House conference report gave. by
implication, to their basic position:
that District school ills are trace
able mainly to poverty. The ma
tional group-headed by the presi-
dent OF soap company and includ-
ing a number of other businessmen
blamed most school inadequacies
everywhere on the same reason:
pennypinching. They said the Ma
ton could afford better.
The national report also backed
up one Of the chief current goals of
the Washington school system.

The emcee Of the show is Willis
Conover. a Washington disc jockey
and widely-known jazz authority.
Mr.. Conover occasionally gives his
listeners short lectures on jazz de-
velopment. and he often interviews
such greats as Duke Ellington,
Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong and
Stan Getz. Mr.. Conover, whose
microphone enunciation is slow and
clear, is enthusiastic. He feels that
by selling jazz, he is selling Ameri-
ca via medium that can reach any

The program, "Music-USA," has

jazz has found wider acceptance in
Europe than in its homeland, and
letters received from jazz fans from

County, and the lowest tax area
(Arlington).
At the $4,000 level, Case I, there
is now a tax differential of 1922 a
year - or 30 per cent - between the
highest tax jurisdiction (Fairfax)
and the lowest prince Georges.
Sixteen months ago there was a
5000 or % per cent - difference
between these same two areas. So
the change at the higher income
levels appears to be less marked.
The important changes are due.
Of course, to amended income and
property tax rates. Sales. auto and
gasoline tax rates have not changed
in any significant aspect considered
here.
It should be emphasized that the
figures used are estimated and were
derived from hypothetical situa-
tions. In other words, it was neces-
sary to poStulate an arbitrary tax
payer situation and carry it
through unchanged In each Of the
seven tax jurisdictions Of the
Washington area. The conditions
assumed for this purpose are shown
in the accompanying charts. They
are practically identical with the
hypothetical conditions assumed in
The Sunday Stars survey of Janu-
airy, 1855.
It must further be emphasized
that the property tax figures repre-
sent only educated guesses. They
are based in most instances not on
the going rate, but on the rate
which officials believe is likely to be
adopted in the weeks or months d.
rectly ahead. Usually these rates
are changed each spring as county
budgets are determined.
District figures are based on the
new income tax law. as well as the
anticipated property tax rate.
