D. c. Heads Back
Income Tax Plan
Method Approved
To Make Figuring
Of Levy Easier

A plan to simplify a District
residents local income tax pay
mentS was approved today by
the Commissioners.
The proposal submitted by
the city's Finance Office re-
quires congressional approval.
Under the plan. a District
resident would use this method
to determine his city income
tax payment:
He first would figure out his
Federal income tax. From this
return, he would take as a base
figure the amount of taxable
income before subtracting the
amount for personal exemp-
tionS.
From this base figure, the
taxpayer would deduct the
amount currently allowed by
the District for dependents.
Would Apply d. C. Levies
The resident then would
apply the current District in
come tax levies to a new
schedule to calculate his pay
ment to the city.
The present District income
levies are 212 per cent on the
first $4,000 of taxable income;
3 per cent on the second 5000;
312 per cent of the third SIS, 900;
4 per cent on the fourth, Az
per cent on the fifth and per
cent on all over $4,000. The
new plan calls for keeping the
same percentage figures.
The 212 per cent. however,
would be applied to the first
$4,000 of taxable income, the
3 per cent to the next $4,000,
3l2 per cent to the next $4,000,
4 per cent to the next $4,000,
AZ per cent to the next $4,000
and S per cent on all over
/ $4,000.
Would End Differences
| Today's proposal by Finance
Officer Kenneth Back would
eliminate current differences
between the Federal and Dis
trict income tax calculations on
income and deductions.
The major remaining differ
ence would be on the allowed
amounts for personal exemp-
tions. The Federal exemptions
are $500 a person. The District
would maintain its exemptions
of 1000 each for husband and
wife and $500 for each de-
pendent.
One result under today's pro-
posal would be to erase present
differences between Federal
and District regulations on cap
ital gains calculations. Under
current regulations for the Dis
trict tax. the gain or loss from
a capital gains sale on a hold
ing of less than two years is
counted in fully for tax pur-
poses. 1t is not counted if held
more than two years. The Fed
eral rule is that it is fully tax
able if held less than six
months.

The
Rambler
...Wuits
For the A Train
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

By GEORGE KENNEDY
The Rambler has a confess
sion to make.
Until he saw Duke Elling-
tons picture in yesterdays
Star with a outline about
local boy makes good, he was
not aware that the Duke was
born in Washington.
He's a bit hip. He knows
about Al JolSon and Helen
Hayes.
But not the Duke.
This led him to telephone
Mr.. Ellington at the Wood
ner. Mr.. Ellington had left
a wake-up call for 1890 pm.
The Rambler'S call followed
shortly after.
That's one of the wonder
full things about people in
show business.
They can sleep.
Even in the spring when
the sun rises before 6 and the
birds start courting.
The voice on the other end
of the line was a sleepy one.
He was leaving for the
Howard Theater where he is
doing four shows a day. He
could see me there but the
dressing rooms are very
small.
He suggested $3.50. I ar
rived at 3:15. He was one of
a small group Just inside the
stage door.
He said:

off. I'll be right back"

He said:
"I've got to go on and sign
off. I'll be right back"
HE WENT ON STAGE and
his orchestra sounded the
familiar notes of "Take the
A Train"
Take the A train! The
Rambler was in New York in
the late '2Os and too often
took the A train. Most Of the
trains on the West Side sub
way go to Two Hundred and
Forty-Second street, Court
landt Park, way up the Hud-
son shore, almost to YonkerS.
But every third train or so
had a big letter A. 1t turned
to the right above Central
Park and went up Lenox
avenue, into the heart Of
Harlem.
Duke Ellington was lead
ing the band at the Cotton
Club.
"Honeysuckle Rose" comes
to mind. 's---.-

There was a dancing line
of agile sepia wencheS. I viii
never forget their supple
backs.
In spite of prohibition you
could buy a drink.
That was years and years
ago. The Duke will be So on
Monday.
His was a happy childhood
in Washington.
He was born on Grant place
near Twentieth and M.
I became a little confused
and asked him If it was
Southwest.
He responded with typical
Washington regional pride.
"I was born in Northwest
and always lived in North
west"
The happy childhood?
MY father was one of 18
children born IN North Caro-
lima. My mother was one of
IA from Virginia. Most of
them came to Washington.
"I had aunts and uncles
and cousins by the dozens.
Most of the family was in the
catering business. That's why
I eat too much.
81 had a favorite cousin
and every Sunday we would
call on our aunts and eat
cake. We would tell the next
aunt that her cake was bet
ter than the last"
THE DUKE has never been
fat. He is 6 feet l and his
top weight was 206. He was
given a diet to reduce. He
couldn't take it. He got him.
self down to 1876 on grapefruit
and steak. He is said to be a
three-steak man. He says
this is an exaggeration. Two
steaks are usually enough.
He doesn't want to get on the
scales but he thinks he
weighs about 100.
All the foregoing is a lot Of
nonsense about a great
American composer-"Take
the A Train," MOOD In

He's a brain. He had a little
instruction in harmony from
Henry Grant, a Negro, at the
M street school, and a bit in
the technique of piano-play-

Negro.
