relation to one tool. There are
a good many other portable
power tools; for example, the
belt or the oScillating sander.
Once you do a smoothing job
with one Of these, you'll never
60 back to laboriously back
and-forthing by hand with a
piece Of sandpaper wrapped
around a block Of wood!
There's the reuter-, the lathe
(for wood or metal work., the
instant-heat soldering gun.
Power HondIe
For outdoor operations,
there's the electric hedge clip
per, as well as the all-purpose
power handle. This latter Is a
portable source Of gas engine
power with a wide number Of
attachments. You can clip on
a mower (reel type or
rotary, snow pillow, rotary
garden tiller, water pump,
generator. This latter pair is
wonderful insurance in the
country in case a heavy storm
knocks out power. The pump
can unflood a basement at
about 800 gallons per hour,
and the generator can electri-
fly an entire house.
Good paint brushes, or an
assortment Of paint rollers
are also handy gifts to re-
ceive, to say nothing Of the
many hand tools which are
now so widely available.
Don't overlook the conven-
fence of useful assortments. It
may sound a little mundane
to buy a large assortment of
nails in different sizes and
styles, screws, both wood and
machine, screw eyes and ex-
panSion fasteners. But there's
nothing mundane about being
able to lay your hands on just
the right size nail or tack
when you're in the middle Of
a project!

new dressing table. Maybe
some creaky old closet doors
are replaced by some smart
sliding doors which operate on
noiseleSs nylon coasters. Or
perhaps the hi-fi enthusiast
can have a new cabinet which
will house all the component
parts. EVERYBODY else in the
family can't help coming out
ahead too.
But if a tool the size of one
of these all-in-one power
shops is a little out Of rnage,
don't be discouraged. There
are so many useful tools
you could never run out of
useful and appreciated addi-
tons to the family tool chest.
Drill Attachments
Here's only one typical
example: Take a good look
at Papa's quarter-inch electric
drill, and note especially which
attachments are at hand.
Then 60 to any good hard
ware dealer and ask him to
show you the different attach
ments which make this tool so
amazingly versatile. Not only
will you find this an eye-open-
ing experience, but you'll
come home with additions
your do-it-yourselfing work.
shopper will be absolutely
delighted to receive. Want
examples?
There's an attachment that
drills at right angles. A speed
reducing gear lets you drive or
withdraw screws. There are
wheels for sanding, buffing,
polishing. There's a stand for
converting the drill into a
drill press; another gadget
which Stirs paint. A pneuma-
tic attachment converts the
drill into a hammer for driv-
ing holes in masonry (far
faster than a star drill). An
adjustable circular blade
permits saving holes up to 2
inches in diameter. These are
by no means all of the attach
mentS which make a quarter
inch drill just about the most
versatile power tool there is.

DC. Experts
Don't Want
Welfare Job

Two leading local welfare
figures contacted by District
Commissioner John B. Duncan
told him today they are not in
terested in the post Of District
welfare director.
John G. Theban. executive
director of Family and Child
Services OF Washington, and
Dr.. mabel Lindsay, dean of
social work at Howard Uni
versity, were asked by Mr.. Dun
can to consider applying for
the post vacated by Gerard M.
Shea February 8.
Mr.. Theban, head of the
largest private social agency in
the city, told Mr.. Duncan he Is
not a candidate for the post.
DR.. Lindsay told the Com
missioners that for both per-
sonal and professional reasons
she cannot consider being q
candidate at this time.
She told a reporter today
that she might be interested
In the future.
This would depend on q
number Of things" DR.. Lindsay
said.
"One would have to know
how much support one would
get from Congress and COM
munity in terms Of providing
a sound welfare program. I
have seen no statement from
the Senate District Appropria-
tons Subcommittee that they
are really eager to have a good
program.
Rehabilitation and services
that help people attain inde-
pendence rather than the
negative approach Of how we
can get these people off relief
should be stressed. The latter
seems to have been the climate
In which we have operated. :"

tenn" for the Washington area,

Truck Route Solutions
"As II in a footrace to put
down q highway network which
would foreclose an economic
transit system, the Distric {
Highway Department and the
Engineer Commissioner have
relentlessly pursued an all
h zig hway planning objective
which even the 1859 Transpor-
tation Plan had rejected" the
committee said.
The argument that Three
Sisters Bridge is needed as a
truck route is without sub
stance" the report states. A
decision by the Eisenhower ad-
ministration to restrict truck
traffic from the Lincoln Me-
mortal area could be changed
by a new executive order, per-
hitting trucks on the Theodore
Roosevelt Bridge.
Or Key Bridge could con-
tinue to be used as a truck
route. the committee said.
The Meta transit system, II
built, would divert A per cent
of all persons crossing the Po-
tomac in the peak rush hour in
1880 from auto to transit use.
This Is a considerable improve
ment to the 20 per cent which
the committee states was esti-
mated for transit usage In the
1853 mass transportation study.
The Committee of 100 is q
local chapter Of the American
Planning and Civic Association,
and the committee sent its
comments to President Kenne-
dy because he is expected TO
make a judgment soon on
whether the bridge Is To be

Harrison Proposes
Tax Reel rocity
Invites Maryland,
D. c. to PorIey
On Withholding
BY ALEX r. PRESTON
star staff Writer

RICHMOND, Feb. 27.-Gov.
Harrison OF Virginia today
proposed conference between
officials Of Maryland, the Dis
trict Of Columbia, and his State
to work out full reciprocity"
on income tax withholding laws.
Il am very opposed to double
taxation" Gov. Harrison told
a press conference.
He said the conference pro-
poSal had been made in q
letter to Gov. Tawes OF Mary
land in reply to the latter's
request to him last week that
Virginia re-enact a reciprocity
law which was repealed In 1862.
Under Virginia's new tax
laws. out-of-State citizens are
taxed in their home States
and. in addition, are liable for
any excess tax that may be
imposed by this State.
Virginia Rate Higher
Generally speaking, because
Of Virginia's higher rate In the
upper brackets, this means that
Maryland and District residents
working in Virginia must nav
an additional Virginia tax on
incomes above $1,000 a year.
There are many thousands Of
out-of-State workers in North
ern Virginia defense inStalla-
tons and other Federal agen-
cieS.
THE real solution to the
situation" Gov. Harrison said,
"is for all three political sub
divisions to withhold taxes and
pay them TO the State where
the worker lives.
MY own feeling is that a
man should be taxed in the
State in which he lives. That's
where he gets his police pro-
lection and all his various
services"
The Governor was asked II
there would not be difficulty
In arriving at q mutual agree
ment when there are differ
ences in tax rates.
Where you have true re-
ciprocity." he said, that can
be worked out"
A questioner told the Gov
ernor about a recent confer
ence Of Maryland tax officials
and representatives Of the Fed
eral Government in the office
Of Senator Brewster, Democrat
Of Maryland, TO discuss the Vir-
ginia situation. A suggestion
was made there that the Fed
eral Government withhold a
States income tax. regardless
of where the worker Is en-
ployed. At present, the Gov
eminent withholds the tax only
II the worker lives and Is EN-
ployed in the same Jurisdiction.
May Ask U. s. Aid
Governor Harrison was asked
II Virginia would join in ask
ing the Federal Government to
withhold State taxes for all
employees.
That would be one of the
purposes Of the conference
have proposed to Gov. TaweS,"
he replied.
He then was asked II It would
not be necessary for Virginia to
pass additional legislation to
reinstate the reciprocity law
which was repealed last year
and under which this State did
not collect on out-of-State en-
ployes taxed elsewhere.
I'm assuming there would
be some adjustment" he said.
Il think there would be no DIFF
ficulty whatsoever In changer
this law"

The
Rambler
Is. Listens
For Awhile
ny JOHN McKELWAY

There was a circus of
sounds at Constitution Hall
yesterday.
Around IL am. the good
ladies of the National Sym
phony's sustaining fund
campaign turned up and
collected In the hall inside
the D street entrance.
There must have been at
least 400 of them. They had
been invited to a rehearsal Of
the symphony and. in the
days ahead, will be beating
the bushes to raise $4,000
for the orchestra.
They were refused admit
lance to the auditorium for
awhile. Inside, the symphony
was producing vague booming
sounds which only escaped
internationally through the
closed doors to drown out
the chatter Of the girls.
The Rambler attempted to
hear what they we're talking
about. 1t was unintelligible
as he passed through the fur
coats and cold faces. Nor
mally, he guessed, they would
have been saying about the
same thing over the tele-
phone at about the same
time and to the same person.
But yesterdays event had
placed them altogether and
they were creating a not so
unpleasant sound punctuated
with nervous laughter and
accompanied by a sustained
din.
1t was reminiscent Of the
way starlings used to gather
up in the columns of the
Capitol late on chilly after
moons and chirp Of all the
things they had done out in
the country.
Eventually, the crowd was
ushered in to the comfortable
seats placed by the Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolu-
ton.
