NEW MEXICAN FLAVOR
By MARY L. VAUGHAN
Home Furnishings Writer

Entrance to Senator and Mrs. Dennis
Chavez new home Ii through the garage.
In cursory fashion, this may appear to
be an awkward artery to the front door OF
one of the Nations congressional legislators
In reality, the architectural innovation
Is handled with ease Any harsh atmos-
phere is diSpelled by either spreading ivy
clinging to soft brick walls or white pebbles
encompaSSing concrete parking strips,
flower bed and walkway to the crescent
shape doorsteps. A white grillwork garage
door adds hint Of New Orleans to the set
ting along with wrought iron carriage
lamps overhanging the sidewalk.
The garage entry has threefold in
tent-it saves precious footage on q city
lot to be utilized In the back garden area
while solving the off-street parking prob
lem besetting 50 many urbanites. 1t also
assures privacy.
BY lowering the grillwork, the Cha
wees can seclude themselves from paSsers-
by at will, cutting off their glass double
door entrance from the street.
Senator and Mrs Chavez have lived
all over Washington, as have many con-
gressional families since the seat Of Gov
eminent settled down here in 1900. For
nearly 80 years they have moved from
apartment to house to hotel and back to
house while maintaining permanent
home in New Mexico.
Last year they built the new home
after selling their New Mexican residence.
It was a momentous decision, Mrs.
Chavez AYERS, instigated perhaps by the
prodding Of their next-door neighbors-a
daughter and son-in-law-Ymelda and
George Dixon.
Such family proximity In this instance
proves q double blessing with both houses
sharing an diversified lawn, flower beds and
shade trees in the rear.
The semidetached rose brick Chavez
house, of the row type, has modest ex-
terror fronting on P street near the turn
off dipping down into Rock Creek parkway.
Above the garage and adjoining IL
brary with window on the street, Is a
wide sundeck overlooking a good bit OF
Washington landscape in bare-tree seasons.
Mrs. Chavez is pleased with the move
"This is my home now" she explains, "but
we do expect to return to New Mexico some
day." When visiting constituents, she adds,
they stay in hotels.
For the last year, with the help Of her
daughter, Mrs. Chavez has been engrossed

Many of the witnesses indi-
Gated approval Of a suggestion
by Roswell Magill, a former
Treasury official, that the
lowest bracket which accounts
for more than IS per cent of
income tax revenue might well
be split. This carries a rate of

both the Government and nu-

were applied possibly to persons

Executive Kills

COLUMBUS. Ohio. Nov. IT
(AP). - Three executives Of
hand-tool manufacturing firms
went to Jail yesterday on Fed
eral price-fixing charges but q
fourth shot and killed himself
q few minutes earlier.
John T. Mains, Sc, of Green
field, Ohio, was driving through
the northwestern section of
Columbus shortly before noon
en- route to the United States
marshal's office. Behind him,
in another car, were his wife
and son.
They saw Mains pull of the
road. Before they could act,
they told the marshal, Mains
pulled a .3S-caliber revolver
from a box and shot himself
in the right temple. He died
a few minutes later in a hos
pital. His family went into
seclusion.
Mains and the three others
we're shocked yesterday morn
ing when United States District
Court Judge Nell G. Under
wood ruled that their 90-day
sentences-meted out October
Is and held in allegiance for
80 days-must be served.
Mains, vice president of the
Union Fork & Hoe Co. of Co.
lumbus, was on his way to re-
port for the start of the Jail
term when he shot himself.
The three who reported to
the marshal to start their terms
are F. Bliss Winn, vice presi-
dent of the McDonough Co.,
Parkersburg, w. Va, and Will
liam G. Rector of Chagrin Falls
and Robert r. Raymond of
Cleveland, president and vice
president of True Temper Corp,

$4,000 after accepting their
pleas Of nolo contendere (no

other two firms are Borg
Warner Corp. of Chicago and

The four officials and the
five firms were charged with

with fixing prices and STAN

How to reform the Federal
income tax without adding to
the troubles of taxpayers or
subtracting revenue from the
Treasury was a main question
posed by the House Ways and
Means Committee today to an
other group of expert panelists
with widely differing answers.
Despite often conflicting
views by nine witnesses in the
start Of five weeks of open
hearing yesterday was de-
scribed by Chairman Mills,
Democrat of Arkansas, as en-
couraging a hope for eventual
tax cuts.
He commented that the first
nine panelistS while at odds on
a proposal to withhold tax on
income from stock dividends
and savings bank interest,
agreed at least that the income
tax structure could be made
fairer and probably bring in
more money.
Scheduled witnesses today
were Robert Nathan, Wash
ington economist, Gerhard
Colin of the National Planning
Association, Ralph Robey of
the National Association of
Manufacturers and Prof. Arm
old Harberger of the Univer-
sity of Chicago, John Due of
the University of Illinois. and
William McKinstry of Miami
University, Ohio.
They and others among the
200 to be heard through De-
cember 18 will deal largely with
what they believe should be
major objectives and guides
for tax revision and reform.
Most of the witnesses thus far
have touched also on specific
revisions they believe should be
made in the income tax struc-
ture or the entire tax system.
Mr.. Mills and other commit
tee members gave no indica-
ton whether on the basis OF
these hearings they will recon-
mend a comprehensive tax re-
vision plan or possibly several
limited measures to Congress
next year. Members said pri-
vately they doubted that taxes
could be reduced next year in
any event.

Scientists Chart Huge Island
Submerged in Arctic Ocean

NEW YORK, Nov. II CAP)
A huge underwater island has
been charted 900 feet below
the icy surface Of the Arctic
Ocean.
The area was discovered by
the nuclear submarine Nau-
titus on its pioneering cruise
across the Arctic.
Columbia University scien-
lists measured the submerged
plateau and found the top of
1t to be $4,000 square miles
IN area. That is 635 times
the size of Manhattan and
larger than either Maryland or
New Jersey.
The island is 500 miles north
Of the tip of Siberia.
The oceanographers believe
the Nautilus crossed the south
west corner of the island for
nation.
On Floating Ice Island
The scientists made their
study from q floating ice island,
Alpha II, which drifted across
the entire width of the sub
merged land mass.
THE ocean bottom suddenly
leaped from 5000 feet to 900
feet in little more than one
days time-or about Az miles
Of drift" William j. Cromie,
geophysicist, said.
MIR. Cromie and his three fell
low scientists from Columbia's
Lamont Geological Observatory
found that the shallower waters
Of the island plateau provide an
oasis of activity in the dreary
Arctic.
There was little or no life
on the ocean botton-9,000 feet
into the cold waters. But on.
the island plateau, several va
rieties of life were found and
photographed: Sponges a few
inches thick, cold water
shrimp, small fish and sea ane-
none.
10000 Fossils
The scientists also found a
deposit of fossils, dead 10000
years or more, Of clans and
snailS.
This led us to wonder why
we found no live ones in that
area" Mr.. Cromie said.
They also trawled along the
top of the plateau, reaching
near the islands surface for
samples of underwater life.
Nothing survived the long haul
to the surface.
One of the strange specimens
picked up by trawling was a
two-inch tadpole-like creature,
shaped like a tear drop. 1t had
a large blue eye on either side.
Travis also picked up fiat
worms, a mosquito-like crea-
ture, starflsh and jellyfish.
