Most of Canada Taxable
The effect of this provision is
to apply the tax to most Cana
dian cities and areas Of interest
to American vacationers. Practi-
cally the only aerial gateway in
Canada outside the zone and to
which the tax would not apply
is Edmonton. The zone scarcely
affects travel to Mexico, as the
airline hub at Mexico City and
the country's seaports lie beyond
the buffer, in tax-free areas.
Prime reason for the buffer
zone is to prevent tax avoidance
for travel to points within the
United States. 1t outlaws, for in
stance, Detroiter's tax dodge
in flying from New York to his
home. Were it not for the re-
Istrictive buffer, he might buy a
tax-free ticket from New York
to Windsor, Ontario. then arrive
home simply by crossing the
river.
All the holiday islands of
United States shores are outside
the Zone-Bermuda, the Bahia
mas. Puerto Rico, the Virgin Is
lands, Cuba. Jamaica and the
Dominican Republic, to name a
few. Transportation to these
lands, therefore, is tax-free.

to schedule flights from New
York City to Honolulu without
an intermediate stop on the
United States mainland. the
flight across the Nation also
would require no payment of the
10 per cent travel tax.
Similarly, as the law is worded,
a vacationer could depart from
New York by plane or ship and,
unless there is another stop in
the United States, he could land
tax-free in Jamaica.

May Offer New Flights
Repeal may prompt transpor-
tation companies, particularly
airlines, to schedule nonstop
trips from cities such as Wash
ington. The liner Silverstar. now
making cruises from Washington
to Caribbean area islands, could
drop the tax, but only after
October /.
Big cruise ships departing
from New York for the Carib-
bean have managed for years to
avoid charging the tax, but
only because itineraries included
one port or more on the South
American continent. A call at
a single South American main
land port cancels the tax re-
quirement, no matter what other
Caribbean area the ship might
touch. Direct sailings of the
Queen of Bermuda from New
York to Bermuda. now taxed,
will cost 10 per cent less after
October /.
The airlines had a big stake
in repeal, and kept themselves
advised of the situation through
out its arduous course to passage.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va, Aug
1.-The city government, which
levies a nominal tax on hoteI
lodgings. prepared food, amuse-
ments. and cigarettes. has set ur
"a display" to demonstrate tc
summer visitors how that money
is spent.
Not a display in the true
sense, it actually is a small
dredge and auxiliary pumping
station which the city has pur-
chased to maintain the miles OF
clean white sand that forms its
eastern border on the shore OF
the Atlantic.
The dredge is set up in Rudee
Inlet at the south end of town
where hundreds of vacationers
fish. crab, boat. and swim in the
sheltered water. Here and on
Atlantic Avenue, the city's main
thoroughfare, the operation goes
on day and night. 1t has pro-
vided the city with another in a
long list of tourist attractions
and is especially appealing to
those mechanically bent.
Sand Travels Several Blocks
Sand is dredged from the bot
tom of the inlet, pumped several
blocks north and dumped on the
beach. The water quickly drains
away and the sun bleacheS the
sand white. Only a small area at
a time is denied the use 'of
bathers.
Among guests here this week
have been several Arlington, Va,
parties and a number of Wash
ington residents. They include
DR.. and Mrs. Marshall M. Parks
and six children from the
Capital: Mr.. and Mrs. Harold
Meighen and daughter, Mr.. and
Mrs. Stanley B. Morrison and
Mr. and Mrs. John Millikin and
son also from Washington, and
Rear Admiral Paul Tuzo. jr.,
and Mrs. Tuzo from Mount
Vernon.
The Arlington groups included
Miss Helen M, Hawkins, Mr.. and

Lane Is Hopeful
For Span Funds

Engineer Commissioner Thorn
as A. Lane is hopeful that con-
lstruction money for the Jones
Point Bridge may yet be voted
by this Congress-although the
House Appropriations Commit
tee has knocked it out of the
appropriation bill.
Il hope It's just a temporary
setback" Gen. Lane declared on
"a radio broadcast.
In answer to reasoning by the
committee that firm commit
Iments" from Maryland and Vir-
Iginia for the building of APP
|proach roads to the span are
lacking, Gen. Lane said:
II understood such commit
ments were in hand. Congress
accepted them in appropriating
planning money for the bridge. "
The appropriation knocked out
of the bill was for $l3.8 million
to get the bridge underway this
year.
Crossing the Potomac at Alex
andria, the bridge would provide
"a bypass route for through traf-
flc to avoid downtown Washing
