Sun Brings
Best Turnout
OF Shoppers

Balmy weather brought out
Christmas shoppers in droves
yesterday creating the heaviest
and most feverish period of
buying so far in this years
Christmas season.
One department store official
had this theory: The SHOWS Of
last week and the ensuing shiv-
.ering weather had kept the buy
Ier inside and worrying about
the shopping that should be
done. Yesterday they got Up IN
sunshine. glanced at the bank
account. and set out with teeth
clenched and ready to battle
other people with the same
idea.
Virtually every spokesman
for a big department store in
the downtown area Of WASH
ington had the same response:
We're damned" Similar re-
ports came in from the big
stores suburban wings.
In the middle was the traffic
cop. But Lieut.. Lee Hensley of
the Trafic Division said.
though it was crowded. no I'M
usual tie-ups had been reported.
The Metropolitan Police De-
partment sent q CONAN detail
into the fray and had three Of
Ificials in side cars touring the
area and looking for trouble
spots.
Luckily the traffic lights held
up and maintained their syn
chronization which. 1t. Hens
ley said, can mean the differ
ence between a traffic jam and
flowing trafiic.
One store official said the
shopper was the type who re-
fuses to wait until the last
minute and heads for the
counters knowing stocks are
still we'll fllled-eight shopping
days before Christmas. Next
Saturday they expect the last
minute type. perhaps a more
nervous. quicker tempered in
dividual.
Asked If shoppers were tax
ing their time and were dis
eliminating about their pur-
chases. another department
store spokesman said. They
have no choice they can't
even get on the escalators with
out a wait"
The balmy weather pushed
temperatures up to %.

Efficiency in the city's tax adj
ministration. It Is also his ex-
pectation that II will relieve the
District Commissioners Of un-
necessary detail. he said.
The Commissioners now re-
view hundreds Of tax cases an
nually. But in most cases they
follow recommendations Of his
Office, the finance chief said.
Therefore. he said. the delega-
ton Of authority is not expected
to bring any great change.
from a practical standpoint.
Mr.. Back proposed that the
Commissioners. in addition TO
delegating other tax matters,
also relieve themselves Of re-
sponsibility for final action on
special real estate exemptions.
But the city heads turned this
down. because of the number Of
foreign governments and other
special groups involved. he said.
Appeal Still Possible
No appeal procedure is pro-
vided in the reorganization
plan under which citizens
could take grievances from Mr..
Backs Office to the city heads.
However. the finance officer
said that he was certain 1t
would still be possible for the
Commissioners to review a case
II they were pressed by a
citizen to do so.
Forms for the 1857 income
tax. which will be mailed out
early next year. will still
identify Mr.. Pearson as col
lector Of Taxes" because they
have already been printed. And
the Office has no intention in
any case, Mr.. Back said. OF
insisting on immediate public
adoption Of the new treas
urer" title.
The finance officer said the
Ireshuffie would not result in any
salary reductions or otherwise
hurt the status Of any Of his
$50 subordinates. Mr.. Ahearn
will be promoted from grade
IL to Is. he said. II the Com
missioners approve.
The reorganization appar-
emily came as a surprise TO most
Of Mr.. Backs top aides. The
plans were worked out over the
last several months by Mr.
Back in co-operations with
Schuyler Lowe. District general
administration director, and
officials OF the city manage
ment and corporation counsel's
Offices.
In his report to the Commits
sioners. Mr.. Back said the
plans were worked out after q
survey OF various States and
cities and that they conform
to the best practices elsewhere
He also noted that a re-
organization Of the finance Of
flee was contemplated In a gen.
eral city government reorganiz-
alton in 1852, but that little
actually had been done beyond
giving the assessor the extra
title Of finance, officer.
The reorganization leaves UNI
affected the Districts budget
office, headed by Walter Fowler
which is separate from Mr.
Backs office.
Mr.. Back, 80. is a former as
sistant revenue commissioner
In Kentucky. He Joined the Dis
trict government as a research
consultant under Mr.. Martin
In January. 1866, and later
served as Mr.. Martins deputy
before being promoted to his
