Autoist Killed
In BeItsviIIe

A College Park (Md.) man
was injured fatally last night
when his sports car spun and
crashed while swerving to avoid
striking a police cruiser in
Beltsville, Md, Prince Georges
County police reported.
County police identified the
victim as Max Francis Farrar,
40, of 9109 Forty ninth avenue,
College Park. Police said papers
on his body indicated he was
an employee of the Naval Ord
nance Bureau.
Police said Mr.. Farrar was
driving north on Powder Mill
road a half mile north of High
Point High School at a nigh
rate of speed when the crash
occurred.
Police said a Montgomery
County police cruiser pulled out
of Old Powder Mill road, headed
south. Mr.. Farrar swerved, hit
the shoulder of the road and
spun when he tried to get the
car back under control, police
said.
Mr.. Farrar was thrown from
the car when it tipped over,
police said.

suffered from that malady
common to most infants-gas
on the stomach. DR.. Rinjard
said he stretched out on the
hay beside Dzimbo's crate and
comforted the baby elephant
all the way. In fact, he has
been so busy nursing Dzimbo
that he hadn't had any sleep
for three nights. DR.. Rinjard
said.
Dzimbo is neither dangerous
nor mean, DR.. Rinjard said, but
he is an All-Congo boy-rest-
less. nervous and forever hun

The ZOO may need an inter-
prefer for a good while longer
as soon as Dzimbo takes up
residence there tomorrow. He
understands only French COM
mands. 1t may take a while I'd
teach him to comprehend Eng
lish.

in front of the reviewing stand,
Mr.. Mclaughlin remarked ap-
preciatively, This may sound
silly, but I don't know how
they do it"
However, the crowd got the
biggest kick out of the Admiral
G. D. Murray Cadets drill team.
After a five-minute precision
drill, the teams leader gave
the command. Cool step"-a
sort of slow shuffie-and the
onlookerS laughed in apprecia-
ton.

queen. She was Pat Bryant,

Observance of Civic Respon-
sibility Week continued last
night with a special program

During the week, evening
workshops on citizenship are
scheduled at five churches and

pounds, which required him to
make the trip in a sturdy crate.
Lawn Ceremony
He is a personal gift from
the people of the French COM
munity of African Republics to
Monsieur LIE President DIES
U.S.A." There will be a formal
presentation of the baby tusk-
er on the White House lawn
tomorrow. President Eisen-
hover has not said whether he
will accept the gift in person.
But it is certain that he
won't keep Dzimbo at 1900
Pennsylvania avenue NV. or
at his Gettysburg pa farm.
Dzimbo is slated to join the
only two elephants left at the
Washington Zoo.-Nancy, an
African female, and Shanti, an
Indian female. The Zoos only
other male, Ashoka, died last
week at the geological park.
Accompanying Dzimbo from
Paris to the United States was
DR.. Jean Rinjard, 38. associate
director of the Zoo of the
Woods at Vincennes. France.
DR.. Rinjard spent the after
noon at the Washington Zoo
attempting to communicate
with j. Lear Grimmer, his To-
cal counterpart.
COpybOy Stars
Mr.. Grimmer's French is
rather pif1ing. DR.. Rinjard's
English is not worth mention
ing. All discussion about
Dzimbo's trip was made pos
sible by Star Copyboy David
Fouquet, a native of France
and now a George Washington
University student.
Mr.. Fouquet became so es-
sential to international ZOO
logical cooperation that he
ended up as a dinner guest
with guest-of-honor Rinjard at
the Grimmers' home.
The main thing DR.. Rinjard
had to relate to the Washing
ton Zoo was about the care
and feeding of Dzimbo. For in
stance, on the plane coming
from Paris to New York, Dzimbo
ate so bananas, so pounds of
carrots, a sack full of salad
and pretty nearly all of five
quarts of dry milk. DR.. Rinjard
said he had to replenish his
supply of carrots in Ireland.
All the way over, Dzimbo

also was treated for inhalation

candles were lit by John L.

1t. Buckley, who was still
counting the number of persons

Mr.. Thomas had not realized
the effect of the candles.
The lieutenant said Mr..

BroyhiII Sees
Professional
Tax Defeated

Defeat was predicted yester-
day for a proposal to collect q
business tax from doctors, law
yers and other professional
people working in Washington
Representative Broyhill, Re-
publican of Virginia, said he
did not think the tax, proposed
by District fiscal officers, could
win approval from the House
District Committee, Of which
he is a member.
He called the proposed levy.
"a lousy tax"
Mr.. Broyhill admitted that
he was thinking partly from
the standpoint of Virginia resi-
dents working in the District
who would be affected by the
tax. But he said he was against
the idea anywhere.
He said he would rather see
Congress increase the annual
Federal payment to the District
in order to bolster the city's
revenue. although he said he
would not object to a reason
able increase" in some other
District taxes. He fatty opposed
any payroll tax which would
affect suburban residents.
The District Commissioners
are scheduled to make a deci-
sion on a package of tax rise
proposals suggested by budget
and fiscal officers. These include
increases in individual income
taxes. cigarette and liquor taxes,
all to take effect next year.
The proposal involving doc
tors, lawyers and other profess
sional people is for an extension
Of the unincorporated business
franchise tax. The professionals
are now exempted from this
levy. Critics, including the Dis
trict Bar Association and the
District Medical Society, have
charged that the proposal would
represent double taxation.
Mr.. Broyhill agreed with this
designation. Doctors and law
yers. he said, already pay in
come taxes and the District has
no right to saddle those prac-
ticing in Washington and living
in the suburbs with an extra
tax.
The District Committee must
pass on any tax increases ex-
cept the city's real estate tax
rate. which is controlled by the
Commissioners. The Commits
sioners have been urged by
subordinateS to increase the
realty rate 20 cents.
Higher revenue returns re-
ported last week may ease the
tax-rise picture somewhat, al
though spokesman for civic Or
CARNATIONS and a number of
department heads urged budg-
ct increases in public hearing
and closed-door conferences
last week.

long range construction pro-
gram that would eventually:
/. Provide 1913 million square
feet of space in % permanent
new Federal buildings-the es-
timated requirement to meet
the needs of Federal agencies
here.
2. Permit the demolition OF
all So of WaShington's Govern
ment tempoS, as we'll as the
elimination of 81 obsolete
permanent buildings the Gov
vernment now occupies.
8. Allow GSA to cancel
leases in IS buildings-about
half the total present leased
space in private structures
and to hold down on expensive
new leases.
4. Bring about a wholesale
shift of Government working
places, mainly to consolidate
the employees of any one agency
under as few roofs as possible,
For example, the Defense De-
partment is now scattered
among 81 Washington area
buildings; the Commerce De-
partment in %, and the Treas
ury, Interior and Health, Edu-
cation and Welfare Depart
ments in 81 each.
Plan Tried Before
There is nothing new about
the basic idea of such GSA-
sponsored long-range programs.
Every few years, in fact, new
approach has been tried. To
date, they have all met a COM
mon fate-failure.
The reason for the failures,
in most cases, couldn't be more
simple: Congress has taken
long looks at the projects, then
refused to vote the money to
build them.
1t was largely to get around
this problem of big OUTLAWS of
cash that GSA several years
ago pushed through the Fed
eral lease-purchase plan. Un-
der lease-purchase. it was
necessary only for the Public
Works Committees of the House
and Senate to approve projects.
Then GSA could contract for
private construction of the
needed Office buildings, pay
private investors enough an
nual rental to guarantee a
profit for a set number of years,
and eventually take Federal
title to the buildings.
Four years ago, GSA sub
mited a big program of new
construction to Congress under
lease-purchase, and actually
won authorization for half a
dozen major Washington build
ings. These. if carried out,
would have let GSA tear down
most of the downtown tempoS.
Congress Killed Plan
This year, however, Congress
killed the lease-purchase au-
thorization and, with it re-
scinded approval of the Wash
ington projects.
In It's place, Congress en-
acted a new construction law,
which greatly expanded the
powers of GSA. and raised
hopes that a new era of prog
ress might be Forthcoming.
The major point of the new
law is that it declares for the
first time that GSA should be
the sole construction agecny for
the Government. mo public
building" it says, shall be
constructed except by the
(GSA) Administrator"
This is important because
Government agencies in the
past have run to Congress in
dependently for construction
money, largely by-passing GSA,
and subsequently playing havoc
with hopes for a co-ordinated,
step = by step program. The

that the pay scales are not at

He said there were many
