Property and haolllty Unoer-
writer's, Inc, at the Sheraton
Park Hotel, Mr.. Thompson
pointed out that there now are
more than two non Government

eminent employe in the Wash
ington area.
The Board of Trade esti-
mates around 374,000 nom
Government employees live in
the city while $4,000 with an
annual payroll of almost $32.5
billion live in the entire area,
he declared. Washington started
in 1900 as a collection of Fed
eral employees and a few inns,
hotels and stores, he added.
Annexation Impossible
The city cannot grow by an
nexation of well-to-do suburbs
as many other cities can and
more than half of the area of
the non expandable whole is
tax-exempt either through Fed
eral ownership, loval govern
ment ownership, embassies and
FOR chancellorieS, churches and
other normally X-exempt in
stitutionS, he emphasized.
Mr.. Thompson, who is asso-
ciate editor of The Star, said
the interplay of Federal and
local Jurisdictions results in
many complexities, including
more than half a dozen diff
ferent police forces function
ing within the city.
Congress serves as City Coun-
Gil and this has become a
major job, he said. With some
exceptions members of Con-
gresS regard service on the
House and Senate District
Committees as so thing to b.
avoided, he said.
Regarded as Gift
while with sole control
should go an equitable finan-
cial' responsibility for develop
ment and operation of the city,
too many members of Congress
seem to regard the annual Fed
eEal payment as a gift to local
residents from their conStitu-
entS rather than as an obli-
gated share" the speaker con-
tinued. To-day no proportion is

sold by other retailers. After
the war, the discount house
sprang up in abandoned mills
in New England and eventually
spread across the country. It
too stocked merchandise once
in the domain of others.
Today, this revolution has
created a situation in which

without checking their worth.
The Office of Emergency

Fairfax County officials have
been instructed to consult with

The county also wants to in

consider exempting community
