Brewery Background

The Stars Rambler" re-
Gently had trouble finding
background material on the
Arlington Brewery now being
demolished. My dad. William
Mcguire. was the president
Of this brewery at the time
1t closed due TO prohibition.
Abe King was secretary and
treasurer. and a Mr.. Gordon.
/ think. was vice president.
Dad was one of the original
stockholders OF the Consumer
Brewery. which was founded
about 1890. The Consumer
Brewery was reorganized
about 1902 or 1908 and be-
came the Arlington Brewery.
When prohibition came it
was sold to the Cherry Smash
people. present owners Of the
premises.
Prior to prohibition, there
were I'VE breweries in Wash
ington: Heurich Brewery, the
largest; National Capital.
whose president, Mr.. Carry,
transferred his interests TO
ice cream when prohibition
came. and became the owner
Of Garry Ice Cream Co. and
died a millionaire; Abner
Drury (Mr. Drury's son is still
alive and I think in the real
estate business here in WASH
ingtonD; the Washington
Brewery. and last but not
least. the Arlington Brewery
which, while located in Vir-
ginia. had most OF its Gus
toners in the District.

Free Market Labor

The Senate Investigation OF
unions should not have been
necessary to show that some
OF those organizations pro-
vide the seat Of operation for
gangsters. blackmailers, brib-
ers and other undesirable
characters.
Isn't it about time we did
away with unions as they
exist today with their racketS
and gangster methods? Or
do we want to stand idly by
while they take us farther
down the path OF imitation
toward their goal OF social
ism? There are those who
say. Consider what the
unions have done to improve
the condition OF the labor
ing man." say we should
consider what the unions are
doing to you and me and
everyone else who buys most
any product on the market
today. The laboring man
should be willing to put his
product 0abor) on a free
market and not depend on
his wage being blackmailed
out OF his employer by a
gangster in control OF his
union.
Prohibit the closed shop.
There is nothing in our life
today which is more I'M
American or more contrary
to the principles upon which
this country was founded. 1t
is practically economic slav-
cry. It is degrading for an in
dividual to be forced to join
an organization in order to
work where he wants to work.
And 1t is criminal. or at least
1T should be. for a worker to
be compelled to give part of
his wages to keep his labor
bosses. along with their &C
completes and bodyguards, in
luxury, and to help build

Cabin John BRIDGE

The most prominent head
line Of The Sunday Star,
New Site for Bridge Asked
by Observation-Disclosures
Span Start Is Delayed" was
quite interesting until read
further that the bridge was to
be located a short distance up
the river, 1t was my hope
that someone had finally
come to the same conclusion
as the writer and hundreds
Of others. namely. that the
next bridge to be built would
be the so-called Cabin John
Bridge"
The building OF the Cabin
John Bridge would also solve
the question OF the route for
the now famous U. s. 240.
Why bring all the through
traffic from the west and
north through Washington
which could easily be by
passed by going over this
bridge and on south and into
Virginia and all Southern
States? That part Of the traf-
nc which must come to
Washington could use any OF
a number OF the present
streets and highways now ex-
listing. This is merely the
thought Of a layman. not an
engineer. not a politician.

Rescue Teamwork

The head-on collision OF
two automobiles at Tenley
circle. Wisconsin avenue. on
April Is, at about 1870 pm.
provided an outstanding ex-
ample Of team play In the
rescue Of human life.
First on the scene were
Engine Company 20 and
Truck Company IL, standing
by to prevent a fatal fire
and to lend assistance to the
injured in both cars. An
ambulance from Engine Com
pany 81 was there shortly
after. as were police from
Precinct 8. And less than
five minutes later were two
ambulances and the emer-
gency truck from Bethesda
Chevy Chase Rescue Squad.
after negotiating the three
to four miles from Bethesda.
The speed and efficiency
with which these young men
OF the Rescue Squad went to
work and the apparent re-
Spect and admiration OF
others at the scene for their
effective efforts stamped
them as professionals who
knew what they were doing.
OF the four persons / saw
carried away on stretchers,
the Rescue Squad took care
Of three. two of them chill
dren.
We residents in that Sec
ton Of Northwest Washing
ton are fortunate indeed to
be able to avail ourselves OF
the facilities of this out
standing rescue unit. My
hat is off to them.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

He is only S foot 3 inches.
the preferred height for
geniuses. somebody had dis
covered.
Somebody Is always dis
covering something.
-
This little man has biz
ears. and his hair is too oily.
and his cl-thes none too neat,
but he knows a thing or two.
at least is able to make other
people think he does, which
is part Of the picture.
He ends up by being q
genius, really and truly.
He has all the prestige in
the world.
His name gets In all the
papers and magazines. is on
the radio, and his odd mug
shines at times on television.
You can't hold him down:
he can't hold himself down.
Prestige Is his middle name.
What are the rest Of us
to do, pine because we aren't
in the important Million"
those persons who really
count in American"
Tut, tut. who would fardels
bear, as Shakespeare put it?
Let us not pine in the least
because we think we are not
accorded the prestige We
ought to have.
Just as there is many q
slip between cup and lip. so
prestige doesn't grow on
trees, to be picked at will.
There is a curious element
here, commonly called luck.
As Hitler said, "A man must
have luck" If you have it.
you are fortunate. and pres
tige will gravitate your way.
II you somehow lack thi'
common touch. you will not
have 1t, though your work
shines as the morning sun
and everybody is jealous Of
you secretly.
Prestige might even be
boiled down to publicity in
the right places at precisely
the right moments.
A precious formula for
success! P equals P over rp
plus prm. AS simple as Elm
STEMS formula. and much
more easily understood.

ManS Tax Cut Demands
There is wide demand for
reductions and eliminations
in many Of the other excise
taxes-particularly taxes on
transportation charges. The
automobile manufacturers are
greatly anxious for the re-
duction or elimination Of all
excuses on their sales. OBJ
viously there will be demands
for reductions or elimination
OF admission taxes, and taxes
on cosmetics and furs and
a score of other items now
paying excise taxes. The rail-
roads, crowded to the wall
by high costs Of operation
and by competition from
other methods of transporta-
ton. have so far been unable
to wiring from the admins
tration any concession on the
excise taxes.
Once the dam on tax re-
auctions has been broken.
even for q trickle Of tax cuts.
there will be a flood Of pro-
posals dealing with personal
income taxes and corporate
income taxes and all kinds
OF business taxes, including
the excuses. Unquestionably
the Government tax experts
have been looking into the
whole scale Of Federal taxes
with a view to supplying the
President and the congress
sional leaders with the in
formation necessary to deal
with reductions. If 1t Is
finally determined that the
situation has become so seri-
Gus as to require q speedy
reduction Of taxes.
The President has not yet
been convinced that deep
tax cuts-or any-are neces-
sary. He is no Pollyanna, but
there have been recent in
dications that the receSsic;
is leveling of, and that
upturn in the economy is o.
the way.

Fast Front View

Why all the fuss and furore
over the east front OF the
Capitol? 1t has withstood a
couple Of wars, hordes Of
congressional constituents, a
considerable amount of dome
shaking oratory and 1t still
appears to be fairly stable.
Id be willing to hazard a
small sum that with nominal
repair it is good for another
five score and ten years.
There is even a chance that
1t might outlast those un-
painted tempos that line

Questions and Answers
BY THE HASKINS SERVICE

@. What Is Q barcarole. in
music?-E. E.
A. Originally the term for
songs OF Venetian gondoliers
from barca, Italian for boat
the term now applies to any
composition. generally in 6-8
time, written in imitation Of
their characteristic rhythm.
Examples include barcaroles
of Chopin. Offenbach and
MendelsSohn.
@. How large is the popula-
ton of the United States ex-
pected to be in l970?-R. o.
A. The Census Bureau pre-
diets a population Of 200 mil
lion by 1870. Present trends
in migration, birth and death
rates indicate California may
replace New York as the most
populous State.

MY dear Eddie" writes
@. H., what shall I do when
somebody in my ONCE refuses
to accord me the prestige ]
think I ought to have?"
Well, we don't know where
G. H. gets that Dear Eddie"
stuff. but over the years we
have been addressed as every
thing from Clarence" to
Eddie" so 1t is all right.
Maybe the Eddie" comes
from the middle name OF
Edward. At one time we used
the form c. Edward, and for
a few weeks. c. Edouard, the
latter testifying to the impact
Of the French language on a
young Hoosier.
Children and young peo-
pie in general love to ring
changes on their names.
Edith becomes "Edyth" and
Mary Sue turns into "Marisu"
or something.
These changes are harm
less. Each one somehow
makes one feel the mystery
Of names. They come down
from the beginning. There is
something beautiful about the
right name. something mildly
terrible about the wrong one.
People with such names as
Percival and Hortense and
Bertha often want to change
them for no real reason, ex-
cept that somehow they have
heard others poke fun at
them.
So "Percival" has come to
be associated with a thin
little boy with big eyeglasses,
and Bertha" with a very big
girl. and so on.
Actually, each name means
something very nice, but 1t
seems impossible for some to
accept them at their face
value.
Even the very best Of names
may offend the person who
has them.
We often have wondered II
Persian cats, always named
Fluffy, we believe, like the
name.
AS for this prestige busi-
ness, about which our cor
respondent inquiries, what
can one say?
Prestige is something you
carry with you, we feel. just
as Napoleon did his marshal's
baton.
1t isn't something some
one else accords you, or pins
on you, except that now and
then 1t may seem so, because
human beings as are such
stuff as dreams are made Of,
really.
Our daily lives make UP
our length Of days, and both
days and lives are part Of
eternity, so you see we every
day amount to more than we
sometimes think.
The human dream takes in
all that has been said or
written or done: at least 1t
may do so, and often I'M
consciously.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Some Tax Legislation Inevitable
BY GOULD LINCOLN

President Eisenhower. with
the temporary agreement a.
least OF the Democratic and
Republican leaders In Con-
gress. is holding the line
against immediate tax cuts
as q possible cure for the
economic recession. The pro-
posals for very large tax cuts.
ranging up 10 IS or 90 bill
lion, both on personal In
come and corporate income,
and OF the excise taxes now
levied on many commodities
and services are constantly
growing In number. Among
some OF the latest 10 give
such advice are former Pres
ident Harry s. Truman and
the Rockefeller Brothers
Fund. The President, how
ever. has not yet been con-
WINGED that tax cuts are
proper--nor has he decided
what kinds OF taxcuts are
advisable. should he become
convinced that tax reduce
tions are essential. The de-
mands of some Of the Dem
ocratic leaders-like Mr.. Tru-
man and Gov. Hartman OF
New York-for bold and
courageous" action by the
administration. without de-
lay, have not greatly i'm
pressed the President. Bold
and courageous, he admits.
are nice words. But words,
he insists. do not solve the
problem where the economy
Of i73 million persons is con-
cerned-a problem OF enor-
nous complexity. Further.
the President points out that
tax cuts must be considered
in relation to the huge ex-
penditures we must make and
continue to make. perhaps
for another 40 years, for ma
tional defense, and that the
costs Of national defense are
constantly increasing.
Excuses Due 70 Expire
Some day in the not-too-
distant future. however. the
question Of tax legislation is
bound to be taken up. unless
the Government Is content to
have the special excise taxes
on liquors. tobacco and auto
mobiles expire on June 80.
These special excise taxes are
estimated to bring in a total
annual revenue Of 5000 mil
lion-not to be sneezed at.
II they are allowed to expire,
the more permanent excise
taxes on these products and
services and on q long list OF
others will continue in opera
ton. The administration, up
to date. has been against al
lowing the special excise
taxes to expire and to cut
ting the other excise taxes.
II the special taxes are TO be
kept on the books. a bill must
be put through Congress and
approved by the President.
When such a measure Is adj
vanced. the whole question
Of tax cuts on income and all
excuses may be thrown into
the legislative works.
