Depreciation may be deter
mined by accepted accounting
procedure; depletion in the same
manner. The important consid-
Grafton about either is that when
the capital invested has been
written off or exhausted by
charges against income over a
number of taxable periods, no
further charge may be made.
The Commissioner requires the
taxpayer to keep proper records
of depreciation and depletion
charges.
There has never been a pro
blem with respect to depletion
on timber which was the major
natural resource in Mississippi
prior to 1880. The Supreme
Court of the State of Mississippi
held that the basic date is March
16, 1912, rather than April IL,
1924. The Basic date is that
date on which the Income Tax
Law became effective, and
values of that date are the basis
for determining gains realized
from disposition of assets ac-
quired prior thereto. Depletion
on timber has always been
measured on the unit basis. In
other words, the timber would
be cruised, and the footage
available determined. The cost
of the timber, when considered
in relation to the amount avail
able, would readily produce the
unit value of the timber to be
depleted. Since 1880, there has
been some discussion with re-
Spect to depletion on gas de-
posts, and since 1910, a very
great deal of discussion with
respect to depletion on oil. In
determining depletion charges
on gas and oil deposits, tn e
extent or amount of the deposit
may be estimated but cannot
be measured as you do by cruis-
ing a tract of timber. For this
reason, the Commissioner, with
the approval of the Governor,
has provided regulations which
allow the taxpayer to elect one
of two methods in measuring
the annual depletion charge. The
first is the unit basis referred
to above, but the unit basis re-
ferred to is only used by a small
number of the larger operators.
The charge may be determined
by the second method, or Meth
cd B which is set forth in the
regulations. Under this method,
the taxpayer may claim de-
pletion equal to 1870 of the gross
income, but not to exceed 300
of the net income. The first
factor to bear in mind is that
the cost must be determined,
inasmuch as the State Income
Tax Law provides that cost is the
basis and aggregate charges of
annual depletion may not ex-
coed such cost. There are many
cases where there is no cost.
Many individuals owning land
prior to the discovery of oil in
Mississippi had never placed a
value on the mineral deposits.
In order to have a depletable
cost, such value must be placed
on the mineral deposits when
acquired. OF course, there are

TRUCK WEIGHT LESSON HELPS
TIP SCALES OF JUSTICE

Municipal Court Judge Mary c. Barlow got lesson in
elementary physics today.
Traffic Court where she presiding, was turned
into classroom when Frank DenOuter, supervising
engineer for the District Highway Department. explained
how trucks are weighed with portable scales
Using simple equations and a blackboard diagram
MI DenOuer illustrated that scales placed under the
front and rear wheels of truck will always show the
total weight of the truck
MI. DenOuter was brought into court by Assistant
Corporation Counsel Clark eing because Judge Barlow
yesterday threw out four involving violations of the
Districts truck weight regulations
Mr. King said he didn't know the reason for the
judges action yesterday but said he wanted to make
certain it wasn't because she didn't understand the
principles of weighing trucks.
After the lesson Judge Barlow fined truck driver,
Thomas G. Swanson of the 5000 block of Delaware street.
College Park, Md $25 for carrying 3942 pounds more
than District regulations allow.

Commissioners restore funds in
the school budget to employ
100 counselors at the elemen-
tary level.
In addition the memo, signed
by Aaron Goldman, council
chairman, recommends that vo-
cationa1 training begin at the
junior high level rather than
wait until high school. Mr..
Goldman said that expansion
of vocational training will help
to prevent numerous unframed
students from dropping out of
Washington schools.
Asks More COunselOrs
At present, Mr.. Goldman
said, since there is only one
vocational guidance worker for
each 1000 pupils in the public
schools here, it is virtually i'm
possible to carry on an effective
counseling program.
ut is estimated by school
officials that a minimum of 80
additional counselors are re-
quired for the junior high
schools, six for the high schools
and 10 for the vocational high
schools"

Employment
Here Drops
In August

Employment in the Washing
ton area declined l,400 last
month, but the August total
was $4,000 more than the same
month last year, District En-
ployment Director Fred z. Het-
eel said today.
Mr.. Hetzel said August's un-
employment figure OF 18,200
represented 2.5 per cent of the
labor force and is the lowest
of aTfy major labor market IN
the Nation. He attributed part
of August's employment drop
off to resumption of schooling
for teen-agers holding summer
jobs.
Largest decline last month
was in retail trade, with 500
fewer workers reported. In the
construction industry there
we're 900 more workers in Au-
gust than in September.
Other minor increases were
shown in printing and publish
ing, eating and drinking eStab-
liShments, transportation, fl
nance, insurance and real
estate firms. Decreases between
100 and 400 were reported in
most other categories.
Mr.. Hetzel predicted an up
surge in employment figures
this month owing to seasonal
improvement in retail and SER
vice businesses.
He reminded employers that
October's first week has been
designated by the District Com
missionerS as Employ the
Physically handicapped Week,
During the past IL months
4,O07 handicapped persons ap-
piled for work and 2,348 were
placed. This represented a 80
per cent increase in placements
over the previous 12-month
period.

PTA IS PRESSING
FOR COUNSELORS

The District Congress of
Parents and Teachers indicated
yesterday it will wage strong
fight for the hiring of 40 addi-
tional student counselors for
the city's elementary schools.
The District School Board,
in drawing up its budget re-
quests for fiscal 1862, asked the
District Commissioners for so
counselors. The District Budget
Office, however, cut the num-
ber to 10.
Mrs. Gordon Van Sanford,
chairman of the Congress
Legislation Committee, told
members of the PTA's Board
Nof Managers at Grant
School that there is every sign
her committee will vote to take
the plea for all so counselors
to the Commissioners next
month. She said her COM
mittee will meet next week to
devise the Congress legisla-
tive program.
District School Supt. Carl F.
Hansen said last week he did
not plan to press the counselo,
issue where elementary schools
are concerned, but will fight
for IA counSelors he had sought
for Junior and senior high
schools. The budget office also
has disalloWed the Il.
Explaining his stand, DR.
Hansen said the budget Offices
approval of 10 Of the SO ele-
mentary school counselors at
least marked an important
breakthrough," since the ele-
mentary level at present has
no counselors at all. The high

WE ENTERED THAT WAR

WE ENTERED THAT WAR
with a secret weapon-DDT.
It was dormant for years
after it was arrived at in
a Swiss laboratory. Our De-
partment of Agriculture pi-
loted the work of producing
it in quantity.
Now DDT is being used
around the world to combat
malaria.
THE effect of something
like that can be tremen-
dous," said Col. Coates. you
rem e mber reading how
the Rockefeller Foundation
saved a large portion of the
population of the South
from a debilitating weak
ness. 1t discovered that the
cause was hookworm."
While the medical history
of our participation in World
War 1 was published in sew
eral ponderous volumes, it
was largely overlooked in
World War II. The same
mistakes were made again.
Col. Coates is trying to
avoid a repitition of this by
seeing to it that the volumes
of the World War II history
go, free of charge, to the
libraries of all our medical
schools and hospitals.
That these volumes did not
appear before the Korean
War, in which they would
have been very useful, Col.
Coates considers ineXcuS-
able. The typescripts had
been accumulating sine e

1858 to get them published.
Military medicine is i'm

wounds. In World War I,
there were $1,000 death from

In World War II (Army) ,
there were $4,000 deaths
from disease, 235,000 from

Discussing the number of
counselors at the elementary
school level, Mr.. Goldman said
that school officials requested
funds for employment of 100
counselors and, though ap-
proval has been granted for so,
funds are approved for the pay
ment for hiring of only 10 such
counSelors." y
Mr.. Goldman said the en-
ployment of only 10 counselors
at the elementary school level
would be grossly inadequate"
Advisory Group Urged
A recent Labor Department
survey of $4,000 students who
dropped out of school, Mr.
Goldman said, has emphasized
the Importance of teaching
students at an early age about
the value of education in get
ting jobs.
The memorandum also urged
that the public schools eStab-
lish a city-wide advisory COM
mittee composed of key persons
in industry, labor and Govern
ment, who could give advice
on vocational training and job
opportunities.
I'VE believe" Mr.. Goldman
said, that individual schools
will benefit immeasurably from
such contactS-Students will be
better placed and the business
communities will be assured OF
a better quality of workers"
The memorandum said that
adoption of these recommends
tionS would be a step in COM
pensating for the limited
training and apprenticeship

the State Legislature freeze
at the 1860 session for "a
rainy day"
The next gubernatorial elec-
tion is in November, 1862, but
before that Gov. Tawes will have
to deal with the 1962-63 fiscal
budget.
His ability to hold the line
against a tax increase may be
a major factor in his decision
on whether to run for a second
term.
I'VE will be very careful
about our spending program
this year" Gov. TaweS said,
referring to the 1961-62 budget,
which will be dealt with at the
next session of the Legislature.
He added that I'VE are going
to have to cut corners to finish
1962-63 without a tax increase"
Wouldn't Cripple
81 hope to finish my admin
istration without a tax in
crease" Gov. Tawes said. He
added, however, that he would
not cut services to the extent
that it would hurt any pro-
gram" in order to forestall a
tax increase.
Last year the State wound
up with a $40 million surplus
and the Governor salted away
$l2 million in his rainy day
fund. He said it may be neces-
sary to use maybe as much
as so per cent" of the frozen
surplus to balance the next
budget.
The Governor said the
Walsh reapportionment plan
will be introduced again in

ary and that he again will
support it. He ruled out throw
ing his weight behind any
other reapportionment plan.
The Walsh plan, which was
turned down at the last legiS-
tive session, would give some
of the heavily populated areas
a few more representatives in

the Legislature but would not
make population the basis for
figuring apportionment.
Population Base Sought
A citizens group has organ
lied in the big counties to
press for a plan based strictly
on population, with automatic
reapportionment as population
changes occur.
Gov. Tawes said proponents
of stronger reapportionment
bill can introduce their own
measure Sin the Legislature,
but Pm going to support the
Walsh recommendations. l
can't support anything else. "
He said he felt more
drastic measure than the
Walsh plan would have no
chance of getting through the
rurally controlled Legislature.
He added, however, that he
believes some reapportionment
opponents are "a little more
reconciled" to the Walsh plan
now than they were at the
1860 session.
On presidential politics, the
Democratic Governor said he
/ is confident of Democratic VIC
tory but it might help if Sen
ator Kennedy would make
further Maryland appearances
Senator Kennedy has no more
appearances sc h e duled in
Maryland, but his running
mate, Senator Johnson, will
speak next month in Salisbury
Gov. Tawes criticized Tide
water legislators who oppose
new programs to jack up the
ailing seafood industry. When
he took office, the Governor
reorganized the Tidewater Fish
cries Commission, but some OF
the programs advanced by the
commission have. met resist
ance from legislators in the
Chesapeake Bay and Potomac
River areas.
If we don't get support from
the people who would benefit
I don't see why the State should
continue to spend huge sums
for this program" the Governor
said.

Gov. Tawes said he is confident
the voters this fall will approve
the proposed Virginia Mary
land Potomac River compact
He said opposition to the COM
pact, which would set up joint
regulation of fishing in the
river, is localized in Charles

Arts UnitApproves
VAHospitaI Design
Parking Facility
Strongly Urged
By Commission
By GILBERT GIMBLE
Star STAFF Writer

The Fine Arts Commission
today gave general approval to
the design of a $40 million
Veterans Administration hos
pital to be built next to the
Washington Hospital Center.
The group urged, however,
that the entrance to the hos
pital be redesigned for greater
simplicity.
The commission also strongly
urged either underground park
ing or garage rather than US
ing the open space around the
hospital as a parking lot.
The new four story hospital,
expected to be ready for oc-
cupancy in late 1868, will have
ITO beds. 1t will replace the
Mount Alto VA Hospital out
patient clinic now located in
the Munitions Building.
Entrance Design
Planners told the commission
separate entrances were de-
signed to serve the hospital and
the outpatient clinic. The de-
signs called for two long walk
ways with garden-type settings.
including a pool, trees and
shrubbery. This is the design
the commission wants simpli-
fed.
The parking lot designed to
hold $50 automobiles, would be
similar to the lot next to Wash
ington Hospital Center.
The auto entrances and exits
for the veterans hospital will tie
in with those of the hospital
center.
The Fine Arts Commission
also approved building designs
for the Bureau of Standards
$94 million complex, which is
to be started soon in Mont
gomery County near Gathers
burg.
The group also studied a
model of four-lane elevated
Potomac River Freeway and
approved its construction de-
sign. The portion of the free
way now under construction
runs from Rock Greek Park
way to Thirty-first street NV,
parallel to the Whitehurst
FreeWay.
Stone Wall Proposed
Highway planners proposed
a 9-foot stone wall at grade
level to block from view, on the
river side, the railroad tracks
and commercial activity under
the freeWay. The freeway it.
self is to be reinforced concrete.
A 300-unit apartment houS-
ing project sponsored by the
Army Distaff Foundation for
Army widows, also was ap-
proved. 1t will be located in
the 5000 block of Nebraska
avenue NV, opposite Rock
Greek Park.
The National Capital Parks
central maintenance shop to be
constructed adjacent to the
Brentwood reservoir near Sixth
street and New York avenue
NE. was approved by the COM
mission with the suggestion
that a brick wall be erected in
place of a proposed chain link
fence. The commission thought
that in the long run the brick
wall would be easier to main
tain and would make a more
pleasing setting.
