New DC. Tax
Privilege Bills
lobe Banned
House Group Sees
Revenue Robbed,
Coils for Reform

Ine Rouse DlStflcg Commlb-
tee today voted unanimously to
entertain no more special leg
islation exempting groups or
individuals from District taxes.
This ban was adopted after
the lawmakers recommended
exemption for the National
Association Of Colored Women's
Clubs. Inc, from taxes on its
headquarters at 1901 r street
NV.
The association won a re-
Iprieve because its application
for tax-free status has been
pending for more than a year.
But committeeman, by their
vote, made it clear they had
had enough Of tax privileges
that rob the District Of revenue,
Representative Smith, Demo-
crat Of Virginia. warned Wash
ingtonians last month that not
only future. but present tax
freedoms might be revoked.
Drives for Tax Reform
It was understood that he
drove through action for tax
reform at todady's executive
session.
Committee Chairman Nc
MILAN, Democrat of South
Carolina, announced after
wards that the staff had been
ordered to scrutinize all spe-
cial tax exemptions granted
under the local. basic tax
statute.
Nearly so groups and indi-
viduals have pushed tax privi-
lege bills through Congress.
Repeal of all of them would
add about $760,O00 a year to
city tax revenue, according to
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Henry Wixon, who heads the
tax division of the District le-
gal ONCE.
William N. Mcleod, jr., COM
mittee clerk, said the study
probably would, be pursued
through the recess. A report
will be made to the committee
early next session, he indicated.
Measures Sent to Floor
In a burst of local business,
House committeeman also sent
to the floor bills that would:
Authorize the District to
transport, at public cost, chill
dren Of municipal employees al
the Children's Center between
Children's Center and Laurel
Md, to go to school.
Free the National Union In
surance Co. to issue 100000
shares Of stock valued at SIC
each.
Exempt from District unem-
ployment compensation Law
employees of Senators, Repre-
sentatives and others in polit-
Eical service.
A separate measure to ear
mark 81 million in public
grants for construction at Co
lumbia and Georgetown Hos
pitals will be set down for
hearings before a House sub
committee next week, members
decided. Half the money would
be District funds and the other
half Federal.
The District Commissioners
have urged an amendment to
set the District share at 80 per
cent and the Federal contribu-
ton at 20 per cent.

Traffic Shift
To Relieve
18th St. SnurI

A trafiic rerouting plan to
ease congestion on inbound

Ohio drive, and thence into
either Fifteenth street or Sew
enteenth street where these
thoroughfares skirt the Monu-
ment Grounds.
Mr.. Braun said appropriate
signs will be installed tomorrow
to help steer motorists through
the admittedly intricate new

Highway Bridge are urged to
stay in the right lane If they
wish to use the bypass to get
to Fifteenth and Seventeenth

the left lanes il bound for
Fourteenth street.
Mr.. Braun explained that
trafic. especially in the morn
ing rush hour. gets particularly
Snarled in this area, where four
lanes Of Fourteenth street traf-
flc converge into three near JEFF

THE IL Am. Washington
report was:
Showers this morning.
Partial clearing late this
afternoon. Highest near 49,"
And then:
"An explanation Of above
forecast:
High pressure over New
York and Pennsylvania will
move east to the New Eng
land Coast by Thursday
morning. Drier air will
gradually move into WASH
ington area during this
afternoon and tonight. The
rain zone will not move very
far south and is expected to
return to this area late
Thursday as disturbance
moves east through the
Great Lakes region"
This is the sort of report
that fascinates the Rambler.
He wants to know what it's
all about or what does it say.
There's one thing about
these Weather Bureau men.
They are good at public rela-
tions. They may be in error
about foretelling the fu-
ture-in error about tomor-
row. And the next day they
are ready to take a ribbing.
This reminds me of a pro-
fesSional public relations
man. He was representing
Bethlehem Steel at the
Sparrows Point plant. On
the eve of a national steel
strike the writer arrived with
a photographer. We wanted
pictures of the men banking
the fires at the great blast
furnaces and the open
hearths and perhaps the last
blow of the Bessemer.
What the Bethlehem pub
lie relations man said was:
you couldn't have arrived
at a more inopportune time"

A hard-traveling young ex-

....... Goes From

By GEORGE KENNEDY
What a difference a day
makes
TiOentv-tour hours


Yesterday afternoon, the
Rambler, returning to The
star in a taxicab. expert
enced a chill.
It seemed hard to believe.
But when he alighted the
big thermometer on the
Eleventh street side of The
Star Building-which usually
registers a degree or, two
over the airport thermometer
Of the Washington Weather
Bureau-stood at SO.
That got him over his
scare. He did not have
dengue fever or even plain
malaria. Something amaz-
ing had happened. The tenn
perature was well under the
July norm.
He called the Weather
Bureau to thank them, but
as usual the number, Ma
tional 1880 was busy.
While waiting for the call
to be put through he checked
the weather report which
comes in on a teletype
machine-yard after yard
unrolls giving reports on
weather at Miami and in the
Great Lakes region and
occasionally a Washington
report.

$4,424 to $4,000: and from
