 Because these items too, are subject to a State tax, the Cover nor said it has been possible to compute a total Federal tax on these at $8,974,OOO.
 Other indirect taxes paid by AlaskanS for which no adequate estimate can be obtained would include levies on automobiles, trucks, chassis and parts; tires and tubes; business and store ma chimes; electric, gas and oil ap- pliances; electric light bulbs and tubes; radio and television sets; photographs and musical instru- ments; fire alarms; photographic equipment; sporting goods; and household refrigeration equip ment.

His ruling then came after

charges of violating the statute,

Dampness and gawking tour

facing residents of Fairfax
County's igloo village this year.
The IL acknowledgements
igloo-shaped dwellings that
make up the village probably

The structures were in the

The igloo dwellers are anx-

But the date is still uncer-

Tiny Stores Defenders
May Get Big New One

A group of women in the Old
Town section of Alexandria
whose protests influenced Off
cials of Safeway to leave their
corner grocery open may get q
brand-new store in its place.
Last spring, when Safeway
announced plans to close its
tiny outlet at Prince and Royal
streets, the women protested,
paraded IN front of the store
with placards and amassed
more than 1900 signatures on
a petition to Safeway.
Officials agreed to keep the
store open and to conduct a
survey to determine if there
was enough business in the
area to support a new facility.
The survey completed, a
Safeway spokesman today said
a new store is planned for the
500 block Of South Royal street
on the site of the old Alexan-
dria Iron Works if Safeway
can get the land reZoned.
An application for rezoning
of the entire east side of the
block to commercial use will
go to the City Planning Com
mission September 7 and to the
City Council October 4.

Forfox War Housing |g|oos Face Uncertoin Fate

The proposed apartments are
encountering strong opposition
from citizen groups, who con-
tend the development would
strain the nearby Timberlane
School and the traffic facili-
ties.
Rising land costs and a SWELL
ing population have scarcely
affected rents in the igloo vii
lage.
Set back from the road on
privately owned Horseshoe
drive, and almost hidden from
the highway by dense foliage,
the squat white igloos remain
one of the best rental housing
deals in the area as far as some
of their economy y-minded ten
ants are concerned.
A big yard, two bedrooms, a
large living room, dinette,
kitchen and bath are contained
in the larger structures, which
rent at around $40 a month, an
increase of about $40 over the
1941 rates.
The smaller units have a
living room, bedroom, kitchen
and bath at about $40 a month,
a 20-year increase of $40.
Maintaining the village at the
current rental rates is not fea-
sible, Mr.. Case says, because of
the tax rate. The houses, he
says, would not be rentable If
the rents were raised.

Right now the ownership of

New Jersey Civil War buffs
want to restore a memorial in
Fairfax County to a brave
Union general who died at the
bloody battle of Chantilly.
A granite headstone. over
grown with weeds and brush,
near Pender. Va, marks the
site where Mai. Gen. Philip
Kearny was shot down on Sep
tember /, 1862, by Confederate
soldiers.
A second headstone at the
site commentaries Maj. Gen,
Isaac Stevens, who died in bat
tie the same day.
The headstones are in a tiny
plot of ground in a clump of
pines about 200 yards of

To some of the tenants, the
igloos are the only dwellings
available that they can afford
which are big enough for their
families. To others, the bizarre
dwellings have become home
and conventional housing is
simply not appealing.
The squat exterior of the
houses gives way to cool mod
ernity inside. Their high-domed
ceilings are accented by low
sung furniture and diftuSed
lighting and their rough walls
are softened by pastel colors.
Along with the dampness that
plaques most of the tenants are
the other problems unique to
igloo dwelling. To hang a pic
ture, you first have to drill a
hole in the concrete wall. Then
there's that eerie metallic echo
that startles your house guests
as their voices richochet around
the concrete dome of your living
room.
The dampness, says Mrs. R.
H. McGarrah, "iS just some
thing we've accepted" Mrs.
Dorothy Crisman contends,
however, that the secret to
fighting dampness is leaving the
windows open.
Her main problem is the pub
lie. Every Sunday we run a

Money for New Schools
Stirs Official Dispute

However, Mr.. Hansen said,
by 1866 all junior high schools
in the District will be "over-
taxed" and several new build
ings will be needed.
Mr.. Hansen expressed gen.
eral disappointment with the
action by the budget office in
deferring or eliminating from
the proposed public works pro-
gram more than half the funds
sought by the District Board of
Education for school construc-
ton projects through 1867.

He added that it is appar-
emily necessary to have chill
dren hanging out of the win
dows of school buildings before
money can be obtained for
school sites or construction.
Mr.. Hansen also said that he

plant for the District Teachers

Although they acknowledge
there is opposition to the re-
quest from some citizens of the
area, the women who protested
against closing of the corner
store are pleased with the plan
for a new store.
Mrs. Nathaniel M. McKit-
terick said a number of Safe
way officials conferred with
several women in the neighbor-
hood last week.
I'VE told them we preferred
conforming architecture, land
scaping and screening" she
said.
The new store. according to
a Safeway spokesman, will
have a Colonial front, and be
"in keeping with Old Alexan-
dria."
Safeway has an option to
purchase the property, he said,
conditional on the rezoning by
the City Council.
The request also is to be
considered by the Old Town
Civic Association at a special

Bible Denies
Politics Over
Sullivan Post

Senator Bible, Democrat of
Nevada, said yesterday he is not
playing politics over the ap-
pointment of Mark Sullivan, jr.,
as a District Commissioner.
Mr.. Sullivan's nomination re-
quires Senate confirmation.
Appearing on the WTOP-TV
program Youth Wants to
Know" Senator Bible, chairman
of the Senate District Commit
tee, was asked why he hasn't
pushed for Mr.. Sullivan's con-
f1rmation by the Senate.
Senator Bible answered that
the matter was thoroughly dis
cussed by his commttee. He
added:
II think it was the sense of
the committee that since we
are here only for a short time
it was better to allow this ap-
pointment to go over until
January, when the President,
whether it was Dick Nixon or
whether it was Jack Kennedy,
had the full right of making
that appointment.
Il think" he went on, "he
should have that right. And
would add to that. there is
nothing to prevent the admin
istration from making a tenn
porary recess appointment, and
with the sine die adjournment
Just a few days away, I see no
hardship there"
Senator Bible said he had
been in close touch with the
Engineer Commissioner, Brig.
Gen. Frederick J. Clarke, who
has been assigned the neces-
sary powers. The president of
the Board of Commissioners,
Robert E. Mclaughlin, is re-
covering from a heart attack.

have the right to question the
statute in behalf of its indi-
vidual members.
This is not a case in which
the council has standing be-
fore the court to raise the
question =" he declared.
The council, a bi-racial Or
ganization, instigated what it
hoped to be test case in May,
1858, after it sought and re-
ceived permission from the
County School Board to con-
duct a meeting at the Wash
ington-Lee High School audi
torium.
After granting permission.
the school board advised the
council that rules formulated
in accordance with State law
would prohibit Negro and white
members from sitting together
at the meeting.
Board Denied Use
After the council requested
removal of the restriction, the
board voted to deny it use of
any facilities in the future. The
council then filed the suit
which was dismissed today.
The State law prohibits
racial integration in public
halls, theaters or other public
places of entertainment or
assembly.
In his decision today, Judge
Mccarthy referred to the school
boards contention that con-
