Tax Package
Defeat Held
Unlikely

The president of the D. C
Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions last night foresaw little
cause for elation among Dis
trict taxpayers either this year
or in the future.
Federation president James
A. Wiley said it seems a FORE
gone conclusion" that the d. c,
Commissioners will use their
legal power to rise real estate
taxes without Congressional
approval.
He told the Northwest
Council of Citizens Associations
he holds out little hope" that
the Commissioners tax package
will be defeated in Congress.
While finding "some relief
in President Kennedy's proposal
to increase Federal help for
the District, Mr.. Wiley said he
expects Congress and the Com
missioners to raise taxes again
in 1868 or 1869.
With prospects Of lower taxes
dim, the federation president
urged the District Commits
sioners to take a good
look" at their expenditures.
Mr.. Wiley recommended ap-
pointment of an inspector
general" with unlimited in
vestigative powers" to keep the
city governments operations
under constant review.
The Northwest Council later
voted to approve the report of
the special citizens committee
which studied the Thanksgiv-
ing Day violence at D. c. Stadi-
um. Members urged appoint
ment Of an official to handle
disciplinary problems in the
schools and prevent future dis
turbances.
The group also voted to hold
five meetings a year instead of
eight.

Group to Help
Fit Dropouts
For Employment

The Edgewood Civic Associa-
ton last night called for ac-
ton on problems facing youths
today in the District.
The groups action committee
announced that the first
classes to aid dropouts will
start February 4. Glasses will
be held in st. Martins Parish
Hall. Redemial reading and
elementary math will be the
main subjects, but instructors
will be on hand to serve as
counselors and to help "un-
qualified dropoutS qualify for
jobs"
THE theme of our project" !"
said Mrs. Ernestine Flemming
innovator of the program, lis
to let the youths know that
the adults will back them in
their search for social adjust
ment."
The group also plans to form
a Junior Civic Association for
Edgewood. Other communities
have similar programs under
way and the idea has received
full support from the Fedora
ton of Civic Associations,
Another problem discussed
was the lack of boy scouts
troops. Edward Robinson,
scoutmaster of a nearby troop,
urged the group to sponsor a
troop of its own. He mentioned
that "all the boys are very
enthusiastic for scouting, but
there just aren't enough troops
to go around"
Harry Manley, executive
director Of the Bureau of
Rehabilitation. reported on the
lack of sponsors to work with
National Training School in
mates. A sponsor is anyone who
will visit with a boy at the
school at least twice a month
Although we have only 2s
sponsors now" he said. our
work is surprisingly effective. +"
He called for more sponsors,
especially among the Negro.
The group concluded that
active participation in COM
munity projects would reduce
juvenile problems substantially

Floyd Claims
6. Q. ?. Meets
In 'Caucuses'

The Republican majority o.
the Montgomery County Coun,
Gil claimed today they hole
caucuses-not secret meetings
In a prepared statement,
Council President John A
Floyd said all public bushes,
will be conducted at open meet.
ing but added:
I'VE have held caucuses In
the past and will continue II
hold them in the future since
they relate only to Republican
Party policies"
Grover x. Walker, a Demo-
cratic veteran of the seven
man council, said the minority
has never met "as Democrats
to discuss council business.
II see no reason for us to dc
so in the future" he said.
Reason for Sessions
The caucuses were necessary
Mr.. Floyd said, because the five
Republicans were elected on 9
platform vastly different from
the official Democratic plat
form. The two Democrats re-
naming on the council are
both considered conservatives
although they Endorsed the lib
eral platform of their party.
Naturally it is necessary fol
the Republicans as we'll as the
Democrats to get together sep
arately in order to determine 9
cause Of action to carry out the
purposes and programs or
which we were elected" saic
Mr.. Floyd.
Mr.. Walker, however, con-
tinued his fight against the
budget procedures of the coun-
ellis budget consultant, John F
Briggs. Mr.. Briggs is reviewing
county spending and has rec
commended switching some un-
spent funds to a reserve cate
cory.
! Approval Of Manager
| Mr.. Walker said the money
cannot be spent even under
present procedures without ap-
proval of County Manager Ma
son A. Butcher. The Democrat
indicated that he feels the new
Council is undermining the
peroggatives Of the manager.
This is merely a method tc
allow us to re-examine pro-
grams in the budget" Mr.. Floyd
said.
Mr.. Briggs suggestion that
9,400 in the budgets four de-
partments be placed in reserve
was finally approved today. 4

ing.
Council also agreed to set q
public hearing on a requested
increase in taxi rates. The in
crease would allow operators
to charge so cents for the first
mile instead of for the first
mile and a half.

Archie Hurrod, "a, Church
Singer, Formerly of D. c.

Archie Harrod, a 74-year-old
tenor whose audiences ranged
from small church congrega-
tions to White House guests,
died Thursday while visiting his
children here.
During his long career Mr..
Harrod sang Negro spirituals in
motion pictures, the Hollywood
Bowl and in countless churches
Of varying denominations. In
1920 he was a member of a
quartet that performed with
other entertainers in a program
at the White House for the
President.
Most Of his singing was done
in churches by choice, accord
ing to Mrs. Florence Barber,
whom he adopted when she was
a child.
HE never cared about
money" Mrs. Barber said.
"Once he turned down a big
contract to sing in a gospel
mission in New York"
Whenever he visited Wash
ington he sang at the Ebenezer
AME Church at 2727 o street
NV, where services and burial
will take place tomorrow.
Mr.. Harrod directed the choir
at the church before he left
Washington early in the century
to begin his career. After at
tending the Boston Conserva-
tory Of Music and the Univer-
sity of Minnesota, he studied
in Leipzig, Germany. around
1911.
Returning to the United
States, he started singing on
the Chatauqua circuit with the
Swanee River Male Quartet.
While still on circuit he or
ganized the Harrod Jubilee
Singers, also a quartet.
Before the war he went to
Hollywood and established a So
voice chorus that appeared in
several movies. Around 1910
the chorus performed in an
Easter sunrise service at the
Hollywood Bowl.
About this time he decided
to restrict his repertoire to re-
ligious music.
HE had an odd way of put
ting music together" Mrs. Bar
Der said. He would take a clas-
sic like Mary the Mother of
Jesus and work a Negro spirit
ual like Swing Low, Sweet
Chariot In with it,"
Until a year ago, when he set
tied in New York, he Travelled
about the country singing in
churches. During World War II
he taught theory and harmony
in New York.
Besides Mrs. Barber, who
