The White House has recon-
mended a formula giving the
District annually an amount
equal to what the Federal Gov
eminent would pay If 1t were q
taxpayer. This would amount
to $50 million. Mr.. Mcmillan
has sponsored a $40 million
Federal payment. The current
authorization is $S2 million.

Mr.. Mcmillan, a South Caro-

that the Presidents proposal

The
Rambler
Notes q
Centenary
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

@AAAANANA1A
The kids were out on
roller skates in Sundays
warm sunshine. They were
having a whee of a time,
despite occasional falls.
They were out Of practice.
What invention has given
children more fun? One
might suggest ice skates.
But the inventor is lost In
antiquity. The Flemish
painter, Pieter Brueghel
(i525-l569), painted scenes
OF happy skating on the
frozen canals Of the low
lands.
But the roller skate is an
American invention, regis
tered in the United States
Patent Office, Just 100 years
ago.
The inventor was James
L. Plimpton Of Medfield,
Mass. His granddaughter,
Elizabeth W. Plimpton, is a
resident Of Washington. Late
last year she telephoned to
advise that the centenary
was coming up. The inven-
ton had been mentioned in
a column on the Patent
Office.
She said she had a scrap
book that told the whole
story. Sundays fun on
wheels brought her to mind
and yesterday I called on
her.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-03-12

SHE OPENED THE
eCRAPB0OK. Here is the
building he and a brother
built to house their roller
skating rink and furniture
factory. It was at Stuyve-
SAINT and Ninth street, near
Astor place. where the Wan
namaker store later stood.
HE formed the New York
Roller Skating Association.
He really had the carriage
trade. AS far as / can learn,
he didn't sell skates, he
leased them at tho rink"
It was an elght-story
building in. a then fashion
able part Of New York-a
very valuable property.
I'm 1885," she said, ''he
leased the Atlantic House at
Newport, r. l.. for a skating
rink. Here is a letter from
Gen. w. T. Sherman saying
how much he enjoyed the
skating. ?
"In 1874 my grandfather
took my father, Henry R.
Plimpton, and my Aunts
Frances Amelia, Mary Eliza
beth and Sarah Katharine
Plimpton to England"
She produced their pic
lures on skates. They were
very little girls, and they
looked quaint with their
long braids.
MY father and aunts
skated for Queen Victoria.
Soon there were skating
Kinks in Brighton and Hud-
dersfield.
Her grandfather appar-
emily never got into the
highly profitable manufac-
ture Of the ball-bearing
skates with. steel rollers,
when the new concrete side
walks made every residen-
tial block a skating rink.
That came later.

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. I2.-En-

public accommodations laws

nation in hotels and restau-
rants, plus favorable action on
anti-slots laws, boosted Gov.
Tawes' legislative box score to
new heights today.
Led by administration forces,
the House Of Delegates took de-
cisive action last night on both
issues, which have caused much
controversy at the current leg
islative session. The vote was
1928.
Considerably weakened by
amendment, final passage of
the accommodations legislation
nevertheless represented some

beset by protesting pickets and

State Withholding
By u. S. is Studied
Aides Discuss
Area Rift Over
Virginia Levy
BY ALEX r. PRESTON
S5tar staff Writer

The Treasury Department
today agreed to determine what
administrative steps can be
taken under existing law for the
Federal Government to with
hold State and District Of Co
lumbia income taxes from all
Federal employees.
Harvey Z. Brazer, Deputy AS
sistant Secretary of the Treas
ury, indicated any new policy
adopted would be Nationwide
in scope.
II don't think IL would be
feasible TO apply the solution
on a regional basis" he said
after a closed conference in
the Treasury Department be-
teen tax officials Of Maryland,
Virginia, the District and the
Federal Government.
The meeting as an outgrowth
Of Virginia's new income tax
Withholding law effective jan
uary /. That State began inn
posing q tax on incomes Of all
out-of-State employees In Viz
ginia where there is q differ
ence in the levy paid by the
employe in his home State.
Employees stir Juror
A Juror was raised by thou
sands Of Maryland and District
residents working In Federal
installations in Virginia.
Virginia's Tax Commissioner
c. H. Morrissett told reporters
after today's closed session he
would be glad to recommend
that the General Assembly next
January reinstate Virginia's
former law under which it had
q reciprocal arrangement with
Maryland and the District not
to tax nonresident employees
working in Virginia.
Mr.. Morrissett said he does
not regard his States action as
a violation Of the spirit" Of
reciprocity.
Benjamin F. Marsh, chief Of
Maryland's Income Tax Divi-
sion. however, termed Virginia's
action as "a departure from full
reciprocity"
He recalled that Virginia
probably was the first in the
Nation to exempt out-of-S State
Iemployes from its income levy
and that In 1857 Maryland
adopted its law. almost word
for word" in response to COM
plants by Virginians working
in the Free State.
Tax Credit Allowed
Since Virginia allows q tax
credit for the amount paid in
an employees home State, Mr..
Marsh said:
IF we were to raise our rate,
Virginia's plan to get the extra
money would be knocked into
q cooked hat"
District Finance Officer Ken
meth Back agreed with the two
State tax officials that the
most desirable solution would
be for the Federal Government
to withhold the income tax Of
the State Of the employees res
idence and remit the money to
that State.
Mr.. Brazer said the Treasury
Department will report TO the
three jurisdictions before the
end Of this month but II an
answer has to be found through
Legislation another joint meet
ing will be called in April.
The Federal government
now withholds State income
taxes II the taxpayer lives and
works in the same State.

There was i severe open

When the ice broke up. he
wanted to keep on skating.
He made a pair of roller
skates, each with four roll
ers, made Of Turkish box
wood.
His first skates were like
all other roller skates up to
that time. He found that he
could go straight, but he
could not turn or skate In

He put q rubber spring IN
the skates to make them
