Curb Autos
WASAHS1eN STA0

Senator Bibles comment
during the hearings of the
Joint Committee on Wash
ington Metropolitan Prob
lens, that it seemed to be
human nature that made
people prefer to take their
automobiles to work and that
there was not much that
could be done about it, is
far too typical Of the public's
apathetic attitude toward
the automobiles destructive
consequences on urban COM
munities. The excessive use
of the automobile by COM
muters during the rush hours
can and must be curbed.
Why should the District go
to great expense and incon-
venience as well as further
loss Of its charm in order to
give those living in outlying
sections Of the city or the
suburbs easier access by au-
tomobile to its core? The
traffic situation can only get
worse, and the city as q con-
sequence will become a less
attractive place in which to
live as the present type Of
low density development
rapidly expands in the sub
urban areas.
The District can to some
extent curb this kind Of
development by restricting
the use Of automobiles dur
ing the rush hours and en-
couraging the greater use and
development of rapid trans
1t. This can be done in a
number Of ways: A heavy
tax on automobiles of area
residents used during the
rush hours, the banning of
automobiles from downtown
areas during certain hours,
greater restrictions on street
parking, elimination Of free
parking for Government en-
ployes and the imposition
OF tolls on certain freeways.
Without putting restrictions
on the use of automobiles we
cannot expect a good rapid
transit system to develop and
we shall watch helplessly as
new highways encourage
more traffic, which in turn
will increase pressure for ad-
ditional highways, ad infini-
tum.

Exploring a Jungle

An initial week Of hearings on
reform" Of the Federal income tax
system has served to demonstrate the
complexity Of the task undertaken by
the House Ways and Means Committee.
With more than ITO witnesses scheduled
to appear and stacks Of briefs submitted
in advance, the committee thus far has
heard the strongest attacks upon the
multitude of deductions allowed in COM
putting the tax liability. Loss of poten-
tial revenue from these legalized "loop-
holes" is estimated as high as $8.5 billion
annually.
Although it is a subject charged
with political dynamite, particularly
against the background of a national
election campaign coming up next year,
there are reasons to believe that the
committee study eventually will have
more constructive results than merely to
furnish partisan campaign ammunition.
Perhaps the first of these reasons
is the fact that this committee itself
has not made a practice of being
stampeded into judgments where politi-
cal considerations outweigh others Of
greater merit. BY and large, the Ways
and Means Committee may be conSid-
cred body Of unusual expertneSS in a
highly specialized f1eld-that of draft
ing tax legislation. It's standing in that
regard is helped materially by the expe-
rience and attitude of Chairman Mills,
Arkansas Democrat, who has had seven
teen years of service on the committee.
And not the least of the reasons is the
impressively broad opinion on both sides
of the party aisle, as we'll as among tax
authorities outside of Congress, that the
present rate structure has become too
narrow at the base and too high at the
peak.
II there were no other demonStrable
need for any overhaul some Of the
widely contrasting applications Of the
rate system would serve as Justification.
Mr.. Mills points out, for example, that
taxpayers in identical circumstances
from any economically significant point
of view" and with identical incomes
often pay vastly different amounts of
income tax. If this situation exists in
large part because Of '1oopholes" which
CAV oNo4AoHAC AC6dI1y SOI1lC taxpayers
and not to others, it is because Congress
has expressly authorized these special
provisions during 4O-plus years of patch
work revision Of the system. The over
all result has been to narrow the tax
base while pushing the rate structure
to the highest peacetime level to be
found in any advanced industrial nation,
The committees study will be d.
rected primarily at broadening the tax
base in order to lower the rateS-while
not sacrificing essential revenue. Provi-
SionS which remove large amounts of in
come from the tax base will be examined
why they were authorized in the first
place, what the current effect is, and
whether they should be retained. Some
legislative proposals may emerge in the
coming session. 1t is probable, however,
that the much-needed real reform which
Mr.. Mills has in mind will take longer
But 1t should be of lasting value to the
Nation and its economic development.

ton in providing great inStl-
tutions and agencies of mercy
and help. Having attended
luncheons and banquets for
great causes in this City Of
Friends, I have noticed with
delight that men prominent
in the affairs of all faiths
were lending their voices to
appeal for city-wide support.
no matter what religious
group happened to be the
sponsor Of some ministry to
human need which had the
whole city as its concern.
Recently in that same city
there was q most unusual
occasion. Its spirit seemed
to spell out that heavily
freighted phrase, THE tie
that binds" There were
gathered representatives Of
all phases of the city life.
The flood light was upon two
persons who stood before that
assembly. The one was an
outstanding citizen Of Dallas,
Fred F. Florence, whose rec
ord of good works had been
written where all could see
it. The one thus honored is
a prominent and active men,
ber Of the Jewish congrega-
ton of Temple Emanuel.
Through years of fruitful toll
he has gladly obeyed the di-
rections that came to one Of
the greatest of Jews, st. Paul,
who, proud of his lineage,
was told, Arise, go into the
city and it shall be told thee
what thou shall do" Because
of what this humanitarian
banker had done to make
Dallas a better city across all
the conventional divisions Of
class and creed, he had been
summoned to stand before
the approving eyes Of his
comrades in this metropoli-
tan fellowship of service.
The other figure upon
whom the light was focused
was the Most Reverend
Thomas K. Gordon, Catholic
Bishop of Dallas, known and
beloved for his true catholic
ity and broad understanding.
In his hand cleaned a gold
insignia which he presented
in the name of the Pope to
this fellow citizen of no mean
city. Before he presented
the distinguished Benemer-
enti Medal, the good bishop
stated the reasons for this
unusual recognition from the
Vatican to a Jewish leader.
Said the Bishop, 1T is my
honor and privilege, stand
ing a friend among your
friends, and associates, your
fellow creators Of the soul
that is Dallas, to present this
medal that you are deemed to
merit well, by the practice Of
civic charitable and religious
virtues to so notable a de-
gree. We are therefore pleased
to join Pope John XIII in
felicitating you and praying
for you and your dear ones
many long years of health,
happiness and prosperity"
Surely, at such a scene ac-
claimed by the approving
applause Of Jewish, Catholic
and Protestant churchmen,
also present in spirit was John
Oxenham, who wrote words
that beautifully mirror the
tie that binds:
Join hands then, brothers of
the faith
Whdte'er your name may be
Who SerUeS my Father as a
son
Is surely kin to me.

The ferocious plans Of
Khrushchev's pal, Mao Tse-
tung, to dissolve Tibet as a
nation - calling for a mass
population shift in which
helpless Tibetans will be up

100 Years Ago

The cold war between
North and South was in full
swing 100 years ago. The
Star, on November %, 1859,
reported: Throughout Vir-
ginia all unlicensed northern
peddlers and strangers whose
conduct is at all suspicious,
are being promptly arrested,
and are destined to fare
badly unless it is made plain
that their several errands in
the South are not abolition
ones. We may not i'm
properly characterize these
means the commencement
of the measures of the South
for self protection against
the assaults of abolitionism,
which are to end either in
suppression of practical aboli-
tionism by the North in de-
fense of it's commercial in
terestS, or in a dissolution of
the Union :"
The canal through Wash
ington was a dangerous spot
a century ago. On November
%, 1859, The Star reported:
THE Washington Canal has
long been known as the man
trap because of the number
of persons who have walked
into it and drowned. Some
thing has been gained by the
construction of the new
bridges with guards at the
abutments and by lighting
them with gas. But now and
then we hear of persons
walking overheard at the un-
bridged streets. On Monday,
two tipsy persons walked
over, arm in arm. One of
them managed to scramble
out; but the other being more
confused, could not find the
walls, and took position in
the middle of the canal and
sung out manfully for aid,
which being at hand, he was
rescued"
Despite portents Of civil
war, Washington remained a
gay capital 100 years ago.

Is Years AGO

Another Public Enemy No.
l was slain by Federal agents
Is years ago. The Star, on
November %, 1884, reported:
Baby Face Nelson was found
dead this afternoon in Niles
Center. Ill. Attorney General
Cummings said the gangster
was shot yesterday by In
spector Samuel P. Crowley
and Special Agent Herman
E. Hollis, who were killed in
a gun fight with him at
Darlington, Ill. When the
body was discovered today by
Federal men, 1t was found
Nelson had been shot five
times in the stomach and
twice in the chest and five
times in each leg. The body
was found in a ditch clad
only in underclothing. :"
Samuel insult, who led the
Government a worldwide
chase Is years ago, won his
first round in court. In a
story from Chicago, Novem-
ber Is, 1884, The Star re-
ported: I'm two hours and
two minutes deliberation to-
day, IL Federal Court jurors
shattered the Governments
charges Of a $100,000,000 mail
fraud against Samuel insult
and his 16 business associ-
ates with a verdict of acquit-
tai. Between lunchtime and
the dinner hour, the volumi-
nous case against the ruler
OF a one-time two-billion-
dollar utility system was put
into the hands of the jury
and decided in his favor
Jubilant at the near breath
taking speed of the verdict,
insult exclaimed: This Is the

Controversial 'Gym'

My school, st. Johns Col
lege High School, has been
in existence since 1881. It is
one Of the oldest military
schools in the United States.
During the past 108 years, my
school has educated and pre-
pared young men for college.
From st. Johns College
countless doctors, lawyers,
clergymen, businessmen and
civic leaders have graduated.
The school has also sent
hundreds Of men to West
Point, Annapolis, the Air
Force Academy, the Virginia
Military Institute, the Coast
Guard Academy, the Mer-
chant Marine Academy and
many other colleges which
undoubtedly graduate good
SOllQ ClClZenS.
The Star has carried
articles about the contSover-
Sial site for the schools
gymnasium. Certain persons
in the neighborhood, five
families to be exact, have OBJ
jected to the proposed site Of
the gymnasium, on the
grounds of blatant activities
and rowdiness. Embarrass-
ment Of this minority is not
desired; nevertheless, this is
a ridiculous charge.
Our country needs good
leadership and men with
knowledge. knowledge is not
only what we learn in books
but also what we learn from
play and fair competition.
Thus a gymnasium is as
much a part Of q school as
Is a science department.
These families are keep
ing a gymnasium from being
built on the only site that
would be favorable. This
gymnasium would help boys
from thousands of families
for many years to come.

FROM THE STARS FILES.

The Star, on November Is,
1859, reported: "The ball of
the Presidents Mounted d
Guard, at Odd Fellows Hall
on Thanksgiving Eve, was
graced Gas is inevitably the

by the presence Of a brilliant
show of beauty of the city.
-. The dancing was kept up
to q late hour, and with un-
abated vigor by all. The

make its entertainments so
agreeable as that the guests
invariably separate with
pungent regret"
so Years Ago
A controversial figure
dropped out of sight so years
ago. In a story from New
York on November %, 1909,
The Star said: "Dr. Frederick
A. Cook dropped completely
from public view today. Not
even John r. Bradley, whose
money was behind his polar
explorations, knows where he
is tonight. Conf1ding his Sc
cret to only one man, and
perhaps to his wife, the
Brooklyn explorer slipped
quietly and mysteriously
away, leaving behind him a
string Of puzzled and exas-
perated friends and a debate
more acrimonious than that
which followed his an
nouncement Of September
last that he had discovered
the North Pole August 81,
1908. :" At the time, a
committee OF scientists was
meeting in Copenhagen to
study DR.. Cooks North Pole
claims.
Nicaragua was in the midst
Of turmoil so years ago. The
Star, in a story from New
York November %, 1909,
said: Private though uncon-
flrmed cable advices reached
New York tonight that
United States troops were
landed at Bluef1elds, Mica
ragua, today, in view Of the
uprising In that country.
