A Virginia offer to stop levy
ing income taxes on persons

closed at a meeting called Fri
day by Senator Brewster. Dem
ocrat Of Maryland.
State Senator Charles r.

nonresidents to file Virginia
income tax returns Is "unfor-
tunate."
Mr.. Fenwick said that when
the State Senate's Finance
Committee was considering
adopting the new Virginia In
come tax Withholding law,
there was no discussion" OF
the requirement for filing Of
returns by nonresidents.
The Senator said he person.

Virginia income tax should APP
ply to Maryland and District
residents"
Senator Fenwick said that he
thought 1t would be good II
the Federal Government would
agree TO withhold the Virginia
income tax for all Of its EN-
ployes who are Virginia resi-
dents.

the analyses centering on the
problem areas are as follows:
Estimates for engineering
and contingencies-The Meta
estimated basic costs for its
98-mile system at $567.4 mil
lion, with engineering and con-
tingencies at an additional 20
per cent.
For the 1859 transportation
study. the De Leuw, Gather g.
Company firm Of consulting
engineers estimated a basic cost
for a 77-mile rail transit sys-
tenn at $565.7 million. Engi-
neering and contingencies we're
estimated at $181 million.
In addition. experts on tun-
mel construction are making
estimates that the Meta under
stated its costs. and that costs
for the downtown subway con-
struction may be higher by
500 million or more.
The combination Of allow
ances for higher construction
costs, plus a bigger margin OF
error (contingencies) could in
crease construction estimates
as much as $3.50 million, the
analyses indicate.
Estimates for off-peak use
Key TO this problem is that
the traffic forecast for the
META Is for only one peak
hour In 1880.
A forecast for one peak hour
Is adequate for freeway design,
because freeways have inde-
pendent means of financing
from the gasoline tax. Because
a transit system needs cash
from the farebox, some mea-
sure is needed to estimate the
fares in the other periods Of
the day and on week ends.

A survey of agencies ana

agencies are recommending a

But the analyses by the

The problems which the

White House Area Land
Sought for Federal Use

The Government is moving
to acquire two choice pieces of
property just west Of the Elk
ecutive office Building.
The land would be used for
future Federal buildings" a
spokesman for the General Ser
vices Administration said.
There are a number of pri-
vately-owned buildings on the
two pieces Of land. which lie
on both sides of G street near
the intersection Of Pennsyl-
vania avenue and Seventeenth
street.
General Services Administra-
ton has asked Congress to
authorize the White House area
land project. GSA, the Govern
ment's land-acquisition arm, is
proposing that it spend about
81 million for the property.
The spokesman said the
building on the land include
the American Automobile AS
ISOLATION, the Mills building. the
Seventeenth street branch Of
the Riggs National Bank. the
John Paul Jones and the Vivian
apartments, retail stores and
other small business concerns.
Nearly Two Acres
The property being eyed by
GSA has q total of $4,000
square feet, or nearly two acres.
The GSA proposal to expand
the Federal holdings in the
White House area was included
in the agency's new construc-
ton requests sent last week to
the House and Senate Public
Works Committees.
The agency is asking for
authorization from Congress
for the capital improvement
items. II a project wins this
authorization, GSA still must
get an appropriation through
Congress before 1t can move
ahead.
Among the GSA proposals is
an authorization request for
construction Of a $47.6 million

YOU MIGHT THINK there
would be a lesson in this for
city people and for the Gov
eminent.
If attractive city neighbor-
hoods are in so much de-
mainland achieve a scar
city value as a result-one
might conclude that the way
to bring people back to the
cities would be to encour-
age the restoration of more
neighborhoods like this.
As such neighborhoods be-
came plentiful-it would be
reasonable to aSSume-more
people could live in them.
For the scarcity value would
thus be removed and prices
would be lower, and within
reach of the middle class who
have fled to the suburbs.
Instead of understanding
that cities need, above all,
neighborhoods that attract
people, one finds there is an
inclination to dismiss such
areas as being Of no real
significance.
Indeed, in apparent blind
ness to the reasons why
such neighborhoods draw
people into them of their
own free will, one finds, too
often, these places are crit
ically referred to, and de-
migrated as prestige areas"
The truth is, Of course,
they are seldom, If ever,
prestige areas" to begin
with. They only become so
because there's a scarcity Of
attractive in-town places in
which to live.
II more effort were de-
voted to developing such
attra ctive neighborhoods,
cities could achieve the kind
of social balance and variety
they so badly need, without
the higher prices involved
with scarcity.

BY ROBERT J. LEWIS

IN BOSTON, the Ted Ken
= nedys' house has a two
toned gray-and-white door.
The Senator and Mrs.
Kennedy live in a horseshoe
shaped, small court that has
only 10 houses. most of them
similar to each other.
Some of the houses have
black doors with brass
knockers. One has a light
blue door. Most Of the houses
are covered with ivy - the
deciduous kind with leaves
that drop off in the fall.
The Kennedy house is in
the kind of neighborhood
cities should be full of. It
is pleasant and attractive.
All the houses are simple.
There's nothing grand or
pretentious about any Of
them.
They're Just three story,
red-brick, row houses that
look neat and cared-for. All
were built in 1911. Twenty
years ago, almost any one Of
them could have been bought
for $4,000 or $4,000.
If there were more neigh
borhoods like this in cities,
more people who have a
choice of where they want to
live would be living in cities.
Yet such neighborhoods
are so scarce that the homes
in them have taken on a
scarcity value. Instead of be-
ing worth $4,000 or $4,000,
as they were 20 years ago,
the 10 homes in Boston's
Charles River Square are
worth $s5,OOO or $4,000 each
today.

Bars Sewer
Into Merrywood
Developers Hit
Decision, Cite
IS Agreement

Secretary OF Interior UdaIl
has denied Fairfax County per-
to extend a sewer to
the disputed Merrywood apart
ment project.
Unless rescinded by court or
der, his decision could make
construction of the high-rise
apartments on the Potomac
Palisades impossible.
A spokesman yesterday de-
clared that the Department of
Interior is completely conf
dent" that 1t can successfully
defend in court its refusal to
allow utility lines to cross the
George Washington Parkway.
One Of the developers and
their attorney emphatically de-
MED this, contending that there
is an 'iron-clad" agreement be-
tween the Federal, State and
county governments guarantee
ing the right Of Fairfax to pro-
vide public utility services to
the site.
When the Board Of Super
visors last year authorized con-
struction of the first high-den-
sity dwellings Of the Potomac
shores Of Fairfax, they UNI
leashed a political storm which
continues to rage.
1855 Agreement Cited
However, legal efforts by OPP
ponents to upset the coming
have been unsuccessful and de-
velopers expected to begin work
this year.
The intervention Of Mr.. Udall
raises a formidable obstacle be-
cause the apartments are to
be built on the former estate
OF Hugh d. Auchincloss located
between the parkway and the
river.
Both the developers and
Fairfax officials have insisted
that a 1855 agreement assures
the county the right to run
sewers across the parkway
In a letter sent to County
Executive Carlton Massey Fri
day, Mr.. Udall said:
Il have been advised by my
solicitor that the contract of
March 8, 1855, between the
County Of Fairfax and the Ma
tional Capital Planning Com
mission does not require issu-
ance Of the requested permit

there are no public interest
factors present which would

Sow the Selfish Opposed

Under the present high tariff
tax system, a poor man with a
large family pays more taxes than
a rich man with a small family.
Hence the man Of wealth who is
too selfish and too unpatriotic to
pay taxes will vigorously oppose
the imposition Of any Just tax. .
IF a citizen has not been sue
ceSsful in his efforts to accumu-
late profits, he is not required to
pay the tax; but If he has pros
pered he is required to contribute
to the Government, not the Scrip
tural 1.-THE, but a small percentage
Of his net profits. :.
Those who have been victims
Of our Intangible and invisible
tariff taxes, with all their fea-
lures Of spoliation and plumber,
without being able to know the
extent thereof, should and will
welcome the proposed tax: the re-
ceivers Of large incomes and the
owners Of great wealth should

1T will become a popular meth

Richard E. Byrd, Speaker Of the
Virginia House Of Delegates and
father Of the present United

GINA:
"A hand from Washington will
be stretched out and placed upon
every mans business; the eye of
a Federal inspector will be in
every mans countinghouse. :.
IAN army OF Federal inspectors,
spies and detectives will descend
upon the State. They will compel
men Of business to show their
books and to disclose the secrets
Of their affairs. They will dictate
forms Of bookkeeping by which
men must keep an account of
their earnings. They will require
statements and affidavits. :.
When the Federal Government
gets stranglehold upon the in
dividual businessman, State lines
will exist nowhere except upon
the maps"
Theodore Roosevelt at one time
opposed the tax:
IF once you give the power to
the Nation to tax all incomes, you
give them power to tax the States,
not out Of existence, but out Of
their vitality"
Theodore Roosevelt later in
dorSed the tax:
THE man Of great wealth owes
a peculiar obligation to the State
because he derives special advan-
tages from the mere existence Of
Government. Not only should he
recognize this obligation In the
way he leads his daily life and in
the way he earns and spends his
