Action Deferred on
Heurich Mansion

A Senate District Subcom-
mittee deferred action today on
a bill which would give the Co.
lumbia Historical Society tax
exemption on the Heurich man.
sion at 1907 New Hampshire
avenue NV.
Arthur P. Drury, an attorney
and member of the historical So
ciety, told the District Subcom-
mittee on Fiscal Affairs that the
society could not take the prop
erty unless it would be relieved
of taxes on it.
The mansion was willed to the
society by the late Mrs. Chris
tian Heurich, whose will stipu-
lated it be maintained as a me-
mortal to her late husband and
barred the sale of the property
for 20 years.
Opposed by Officials
District officials opposed
granting tax exemption on the
property which now pays S2,876
and on which the taxes will be
$3,017 next year.
The subcommittee. however
approved a bill which would
grant tax exemption to the Gen.
eral Federation of Women's
Clubs property at 1734-38 N
street NV. This measure has
ALREADY been passed by the
House.
/ Maj. Gen. U. S. Grant, III,
historical society president,
pleaded for the tax exemption
for the Heurich property and
pointed out that many state
city and county historical soci-
cites are given space in public
buildings or are provided sepa-
rate public buildings and many
get public money. He described
the valuable collections of the
society and stressed the neces-
sity of their preservation.
James L. Martin, District As
SCISSOR, stressing the high respect
he has for the organization. new
ertheless opposed the tax ex-
emption. He said the public
library in it's Washingtonians
collection has probably more
materials than the society ano
that there is a staff of foul
persons in charge of it.
Housed in Attic
He suggested that the materia'
lowned by the historical society
now housed in an attic Of thG
Public Library Building on Penn
sylvania avenue, be turned ovel
to the Public Library's Wash
Iingtoniana section.
He also said the site of the
Heurich mansion, now valued a.
I$52,140 for tax purposes, woulc
be worth about 100000 as ar
apartment house site.
If the historical society doe
not take the property it is tt

and to the Christian and Eleanor

Mr.. Martin also opposed ia,
exemption for the General Fed

DOnOhue- Ford Debate
The Stevenson-Kefauver con-
troversy was featured last night
in a debate between F. Joseph
Donohue, manager of the ma
tional Kefauver campaign, and
Charles E. Ford, a Stevenson
worker, at meeting of the Dis
trict Young Democrats.
Mr.. Donohue is running for
Democratic National Committee
man and for seat at the party's
national convention. Mr.. Ford
is running as a candidate for
alternate delegate.
The debate embraced consid-
erably more than the national
campaign. Mr.. Ford charged
that Mr.. Donohue deprived met
ropolitan police of their consti-
tutional rights when, as a District
Commissioner, he held that any
policeman refusing to answer
questions about his finances
would be subject to dismissal.
POlicemen's Rights
/ The matter came up several
/ years ago during an investiga-
: ton of crime in the District. Mr..
. Donohue replied last night that
while a policeman has the right
not to answer certain questions,
he has no constitutional right to
his job.
:. Mr.. Ford declared Mr.. Dono-
hue has praised Louis Wolfson
and the Capital Transit Co.
board of directors but hasn't
said anything for the laboring
man.
! Mr.. Donohue defended his
labor record, however. While
Commissioner. he asserted. labor
never had a better friend.
He also said he supported Mr..
Stevenson in 1852 but declared
the former Governors liberality
"has become somewhat re-
stricted." He suggested that MIR.
Stevenson's consideration of the
role the South will play in the
forthcoming election is respon-
sible for the change in the can
didate's political outlook.

Denver Secretary Now
AT New House Address

Denver, Colo. - This is to
inform the members of CF'U
Lodge IL that the Lodge Sec
retary's address has been
changed to 1876 So. Bryant
Street, Denver 19. Any lodge
business concerning the Sec
retary and dues payments
should now be sent to the
above address.
At this time we would also
like to ask all members to
pay their dues regularly and
by the 25th of the month.
The lodge must send the as
sessment payment in to the
Home Office before the end of
each month and this cannot
be done if the members do
not pay their dues on time.
We must remind you that
delinquent members will have
to be placed on reserve, and
in cases where there is no re-
serve we will have no other
alternative but to suspend
the delinquent member.
A suspended member loses
all rights and benefits in the
CFU and a member on re-
serve loses his sick and dis
ability benefits, and is enti-
tied to death benefits only.
Therefore, protect your
benefits by paying dues reg
ularly.
