Our Hungry Commissioners

While the Commissioners may be
gratified over the Unexpectedly bountiful
yield of the new local income tax, their
own failure to rid that tax of one of its
more glaring inequities is nothing to
be proud of.
They should have moved long ago,
by proper administrative decision, to
eliminate the unfair and illogical appli-
cation of the tax to income derived from
social security payments. There Is ample
precedent for such action. But they have
preferred inaction, evidently based en-
informal opinions that the District Build
ing is unwilling to make public.
So the remedy, must come by legis-
lation Representative Howard Smith is
planning such legislation. correctly ex-
empting social security income from the
the tax and, in line with general practice
elsewhere, increasing exemptions on in
come received by persons over IS and
by the blind. We trust that the Com
missioners will at least support the
legislation.
If not, they will find themselves in
the untenable position illustrated by their
continued effort to destroy the Columbia
Historical Society by taxing it out of
existence. BY any reasonable interpreta-
ton of the law, this nonprof1t, public
serving institution, with a fine history
of accomplishment, would be regarded
as tax exempt. Yet the District tried to
tax its newly inherited property, the old
Heurich mansion, until Congress stepped
in and exempted it from the real
estate tax.
Still not satisfied, the District is seek
ing to collect inheritance taxes and per-
sonal property taxes from the society.
and that calls for more legislation, al
ready approved by the House, specifically
defining the society's tax-exempt status.
That legislation is being opposed by the
Commissioners, for reasons which a care
full reading of testimony before Senator
Bibles subcommittee last week fails to
explain. We can understand why the
Commissioners are tax hungry. But not
why they are that hungry!

Smelling Out Sales

American preoccupation with deo-
dorizing preparations is taking a reverse,
and profitable, twist The Wall Street
Journal, which often displays an unusual
nose for news, has discovered that wide
and strange range of products is being
artihcially scented these days. Among
them, for example, are fertilizers impreg-
mated with the odor of mint, inks with
fresh fruit arenas and white wall tires
that smell like sweet pine. AS II paper
money is not attractive enough In any
condition, one company is marketing a
fioral-scented rubber finger-cover for
bank tellers-to make the greenbacks
smell better. Total sales by American
producers Of so-called aromatic chemicals
In 1855 we're estimated at $3.50 million,
compared with less than 500 million as
recently as 1850. Unless the public at
large comes up with cold in the head,
this. II we may be pardoned for saying
It, promises TO be an easy way to turn
scents into dollars.

A Star Is Gone

Ezio PIMA, dead at 81, was one of
the music worlds most versatile and
popular artists. Handsome and charming
in personality, the Italian-born basso
possessed talent as an actor that COM
plemented his primary gift Of rich
and melodious voice. With a minimum
of training, he achieved spectacular sue
cess in some of the greatest roles Of the
greatest operas while still in his twenties.
Rome and Milan, where opera tradition
ally is of the bst, acclaimed him, and the
late Arturo Toscanini was one Of his
first sponsors. For two decades he was
one of the best-liked stars of the Metro
politan in New York and popular guest
with the opera companies in the capital
cities of three continents. At the peak
of this career, he turned his buoyant
spirits and his skills as music-maker
to the field of musical comedy. Success,
again both as actor and singer, was i'm
mediate. Probably no romantic male lead
on the Broadway musical stage ever drew
greater applause than PIMA as the warm

To Protect the Canal

The Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal Association was or
ganized by members of the
group who hiked from Cum
berland. Md, to Washington,
D. c., in 1854. At the third
annual meeting of the asso-
citation at the Conococheague
Club near Sparksburg, Md,
the following resolutions were
passed unanimously on May
4, 1857:
Il. Through our hikes along
the full length Of the Chesa-
peake & Ohio Canal, we have
gained deep appreciation of its
outstanding qualities as a
recreational and historical
area. We are convinced that
from the standpoint of ac-
feasibility to the greatest
number Of persons. as well as
for scenic beauty. the stretch
Of the canal between Wash
ington and Greats Falls, Nd, is
Of great significance. The large
number of people in the Dis
trict who cannot travel far
out of town have particular
need for this section. We be-
lieve that the present natural
and quiet state Of the canal is
essential to keeping the Poto-
mac Gorge as q recreational
asset of immeasurable value
to the National Capital.
20. Having carefully con-
sidered the plans Of the Ma
tional Park Service to con-
struct a parkway running. in
general. near the canal. most
Of the way between WASH
ington and Great Falls. we
are firmly convinced that a
highway so constructed will
substantially destroy the
values of the canal which we
cherish. turning 1t from a place
Of Joy and contemplation for
the outdoor man to a mere
scenic border for a stream of
automobiles.
IS. Accordingly we urge the
National Park Service to drop
its present plans and to for
mulate new ones for building
the parkway along the line of
Macarthur boulevard, where,
we are satisfied. a suitable
right-of-way can be developed
which in turn will afford
motorists a more extensive
view Of the Potomac Valley"

Plight

I hasten to congratulate The
Star for the timely editorial
in the May 3 issue captioned
They Deserve Better"
We Of the Government EN-
ployes' Council AFL-CIO con-
cur in the sentiments expressed
in your editorial-that the re-
tired Federal employees are en-
titled to o substantial increase
in their annuities. It is true
that the Senate in the closing
days Of the 84th Congress APP
proved q bill to raise the an
nuities Of all those on the rolls
prior to october !, 1856. This
legislation was not considered
by the House.
These people who served our
Government. well and long are
now being forced to pinch"
their pennies and in most In
stances are required TO lean
for financial support upon the
shoulders Of their children,
friends or their neighbors.
Please keep UP the good
work and perhaps with all OF
us begging and pleading, this
Congress will before adjourn
ment approve legislation to
grant a substantial annuity
increase for all those on the
Federal retirement rolls prior

danger to the faith" and docs
not accept the Roman Catholic
position Of being the only true

Despite this claim to unique

they may mercifully be held
TO be ignorant Of arrogance in

Aimed at Deserters

WaShington's unenviable reputation
as haven for fathers who desert their
families would come to an end If legis-
lation approved by House District SUBJ
committee we're enacted. Testimony at
hearings on the measure disclosed that
the city's attraction for runaway fathers
extends to distant States. The District
is one of the few jurisdictions in the
country where there is no reciprocity
law to enforce compliance with nonsup-
port statutes.
AS the situation now stands, fathers
who flee from other cities to escape from
supporting their. families may take ref
'uge in Washington without fear of being
required to meet their responsibilities. And
the converse, of course, is true. Most of
the States have reciprocal agreements
under which collections may be made
from fugitive fathers for the benefit Of
their families elsewhere. The pending
bill, sponsored by Representative Howard
w. Smith, would apply the reciprocity
system here. Thus, deserted District
families would benefit from the legisla-
ton, as we'll as families in other States.
The approved bill, as revised in COM
mittee, has the Endorsement of all
agencies concerned with the domestic
desertion problem. Congress would as
sure relief for deserving families In
many areas by passing this important
legislation.
