CHARITY HEADS SEE | [ New Silver Star Home Opened to Public Today COLONIAL STYLE DWELLING AWARDED PLACE IN EXHIBITION PROGRAM. CRISIS FOR CAPITAL Associated Welfare Agencies Reveal Private Aid Is Exhausted. Government must appropriate money for unemployment relief or the Nation's Capital will be confronted this year with the spectacle of starvation and Tebellion, spokesmen of organized char- ity warned last night at the 51st an- nual meeting of the Associated Chari- ties. A dire picture of distress among the Jobless of Washington and the inade- quacy of private philanthropy to han- dle the situation was painted as the representatives of the city's outstand- ing charitable organizations agreed unanimously that “Congress must be bombarded on behalf of the voiceless people whom we represent.” To carry on the work of the Asso- ciated Charities for the ensuing year, the members re-elected their entire slate of officers, headed by Coleman Jennings as president. Corcoran Thom again was chosen as vice president, Harry G. Meem as treasurer, and Her- bert ‘A. Poole as assistant treasurer. Board members re-elected for the three-year term were Maj. H. O. At- wood, Edward F. Colladay, Clarence Phelps Dcdge, C. C. Morgan, Mrs. E. K. Morris. Jobn J. O'Connor. Miss Lucy D. Slowe. Miss Florence P. Epofford, Dr. | Anson Phelps Stokes. Mrs. Sidn: ®. ‘Taliaferro, Evan H. Tucker and dent Jennings. Ufford Sounds Plea. Walter S. Ufford, general secretary of the organization, ploaded eloquently for Federal aid for the jobless, declar- ing “our only salvation” lies in the placing of the District of Columbia on the Reconstruction Finance Corpora- tion list by an amendment to that cor- * poration’s organic act, so that the Dis- trict can borrow money to meet the city’s needs. “Private charity can no longer carry on,” he warned the audience which packed Barker Hall, Y. W. C. A, at Seventeenth and K streets. “The defi- ciency appropriation of $625,000 is not enough. People actually are starving here in the National Capital, actually being set out on the street, homeless. “Why should we not be allowed to give our own money—District funds?” he asked. “It is not Federal funds that we ask for, yet we must be reduced to the spectacle of begging the Congress for money. “It is because we do not have self- rule that we stand here tonight ap- pealing, begging our City Council on Capitol Hill for money for peopls who are starving even in the shadow of the dome.” Ufford said “our larger hope” lies in the La Follette-Costigan bill, now pend- ing in the Senate, which would appro- priate $500,000,000 for relief of unem- ployment throughout the country by furnishing jobs on public werks. He said he had hoped to have Senator Cos- tigan, Democrat, of Colorado, co-author of the measure, attend the meeting to! explain his bill, but the Senator had a previous engagement. Home Relief Urged. ‘The secretary also advocated the ad- dition to the Board of Public Welfare | of a department of home relief which could take over and properly adminis- ter any public funds appropriated by Congress. He cited figurues to show that last year his agency cared for 5,107 fami- lies, for which it expended $375,044, as compared with 3,739 in 1931, when $188,963 was spent. Arthur Rosichan, executive director of the Jewish Social Servicz Agency (formerly the United Hebrew Relief So- ciety), predicted “it will be only a short time before the private relief agency is wiper off the map.” He; too, warned against - “starving people into submis- sion” and pleaded for “2dequate public relief, not on a starvation level.” Work of the private agencies, including the “diagnostic treatment of the social worker,” must be carried on by the pub- lic_agencies, he declared. Maj. James Asher, divisional com- mander of the Salvation Army, agreed that it is “out of the question for pri- vate agencies to meet the demand” and appealed “to every one of you to en- list the aid of the District Commis- sioners to get from Congress the money necessary to take over the relief situ- ation.” Discussing the transicnt men situ- ation. Maj. Asher disclosed that in 1932 the Washington unit of the army cared for 41,000 men, an increase of 675 per cent over 1930. Similarly, he said, a survey of 213 Southern cities revealed that 955.000 men were handled last year, while in 1928 the same cities cared for only 237,407, or an increase of 400 per cent. He said a Nation-wide survey of the much-discussed movement of transient youths now is being under- taken by the Salvation Army. Pictures Urgent Need. Father Lawrence J. Shehan, assistant director of Catholic Charities, asserted the situation has “gotten beyond where we can do the job on an adequate scale,” and expressed the belief, “we need help other than that at hand and need that help very soon.” He said there are three courses left open to his charity: (1) administra- | tion of relief as needsd for the next three or four months or until funds | are exhausted; (2) increase already | overburdened parish irelief, or (3) de- velop and organize public relief. Francis J. Miller, director of welfare and relief of the American Legion, re- vealed that in the last four months of 1932 the increase in demand upon his organization has amounted to 16 per cent, with the figure still going up. “Private funds for relief work are ex- hausted,” said Miller. “There must be an awakening of the public conscious- ness to the end that there shall be enacted adequate public appropri- ations.” Y Mordecai W. Johnson, president of Howard University, in a dl;scussion of “The Effect of Unemployment on the Status of the Washington Negro.” cited figures of the Board of Pubiic Welfare that 80 per cent, or 5280, of the total number of families receiving help from that agency are colored, while approxi- mately 3,000 others are in need of re- lief, “but for one reason or another have not received it.” He said there are only 32,000 colored families living “;uh:ggtafnlhflng that, therefore, “one-fourth of e Negro ulation is in distress.” i B The university president, pointing out the “poor physical condition of the Negro, even before the depression,” ad- vocated the abolition of alley dwellings in the Capital and suggested a plan whereby funds for this purpose could be_obtained from the Reconstruction SPECIAL NOTICES. _ WHEN YOU NEED AN ELECTRICIAN, CALL the Electric Shop dn Wheels, Inc.

Estimating that fully 20,000 residents of the District of Columbia who did not | file income tax returns last year must | of internal revenue, today issued an | official warning that in order to avoid ccngestion in the local revenue office, taxpayers should file their returns at once. The returns are based on income during the calendar year 1932, and must be in the hands of the Govern- ment on or before midnight of March 15. “The revenue act of 1932. with its duced exempticns,” Mr. vill make it necessary for a large number of additional perscns to file Federal income tax returns in the Dis- trict of Columbia. Congestion Likely. “Unless these new taxpayers give the matter prompt attention, they may be- come the victi usually cccurs the last day or two of a filing pericd, and become subject to the penaltv for failing to file their re- turns promptly. The manner in which this possibility can be avoided is through the immediate filing of returns, and if a taxpayer requires the assist- ance of a deputy collector in the prep- aration of his return, such assistance should be sought immediately.” Taxpayers may receive expert advice on filing of their returns from deputy collectors, who will be available at Suite 1002 Internal Revenue Building, near the corner of Twelfth street and Constitution avenue. They are on duty during Government hours, from 9 to 4:20 daily, except Saturdays, when the cffice will clese at 1 p.m, Mr. Tait explained. Not only will these deputies give ex- pert advice, but will take affidavits, without charge, and will receive pay- ment of the tax. 50,000 Filed in 1932. “Last year,” Mr. Tait explained, “‘about 50,000 returns were filed in the District. In 1924, when the same ex- emptions were in effect as in 1932, there were about 80.000 returns filed. It is believed, therefore, that no less than 20,000 additional persons must file income tax returns for the calendar year 1932, ‘“Whether a tax is payable or not,” Mr. Tait explained, “all single persons with a net income of $1,000 or over, and married persons with a combined net income of $2,500 or over, or anyone having a gross income of $5000 or more, must file, “Net income means gross income, such as salaries, wages, profits, etc., less allewable deductions, such as taxes, interest, contributions, and bad debts.” The personal exemption was reduced from $2,000 to $1,000 for single per- sons, and from $3,500 to $2,500 for married persons. MINSTREL TO BE GIVEN Transfiguration Episcopal Church Entertainment Saturday. The Dramatic Society of Transfigura- tion Episcopal Church, Gallatin street near Fourtcenth, will present a min- strel show in the parish hall of the church Saturday at 8 p.m. Mrs. Gertrude Smith is the director. ‘Those to take part in the performance include Nelson Wilson, Gertrude Smith, Edna Parker, Mary Miller, Ruth Evans, Anita Haight, Jesse Perez, Mary Qually, Nelly Gordon, Winifred Grant, Eleanor O'Shaughnessy, Ulysses Butler, Morton ‘Thomas, Joe Haight, Allen Peck, Welden Price and J.

Dr. Johnson said his plan would mean the re-employment of hundreds, if not thousands, of men, many of whom would be colored. He said the cost of such a pregram could be amortized over a period of years, the owners of the present dwellings retain- ing their pro-rata interest in the prop- erty. “The most able men in the National Capital must necessarily concern them- selves with this distressing problem,” Dr. Johnson asserted. “We need work relief, not merely money relief. Second to the distress of hunger itself is the distress of the able-bodied man, who is used to working 8 to 10 hours a day, and who now must not only eat on charity, but be forced to sit around all day and do nothing. “It teems to me a thoughtful move- ment to bring to an end these alley dwellings should b2 mapped out.” Dr. Johnson also cuggested the “re- habilitetion of the negro family on the land,” a plan embracing the placing of colored families on now unoccupled farm land, where they could be self- supporting and no longer dependent on plan might well 5&:}’&"2‘& %‘ on a small scale in % ‘ashington “g} An exam) for the rest of the country.” - | do so this year, Galen L.

He showed pictures and gave an account of the expeditions he has accompanied to the South Pacific, Algeria and Chile to study eclipse:. Dr. Abbot, a world authority on ques- tions pertaining to the sun, exhibited photographs of how plants grow under heat of the sun and how foods can be cooked by reflection of the sun’s rays. He also outlined plans which probably will be followed for utilizing energy of the sun in future years. Dr. Abbot was introduced by Clifford K.

NIGHT and MORNING New 2 Way Mistol N he | EXPLAING INCOME TAX EXEMPTIONS Commissioner of Internal Revenue Tells of Work- ings of Law. This is the second of three articles explaining the new income tax law. written_for ‘the Associated Press by David Burnet, commissioner of internal revenue. BY DAVID BURNET, Commissioner of Internal Revenue. | After having arrived at the amount | of net income to be reported, individual | taxpayers are entitled to certain exemp- | tions as follo: | . A personal exemption of $1,000 for | single persons and $2,500 for married persons living together, and heads of ilamfllts. is allowed Where separate | returns are filed by husband and wife, | the exemption of $2.500 may be taken | by either spouse or divided between them. In addition, a taxpayer may | claim a credit of $400 for each depegd- | ent, that is, for each person under 18 years of age or incapable of self-sup- port because mentally or physically de- | fective. | _The term “mentally or physically de- | fective” includes persons in ill health and the aged. If husband and wife | both contribute to the support of a de- the | pendent, the $400 credit must be taken | by the one contributing the chief sup- port and may not be divided between them. | Neither relationship to nor residence | with the taxpayer is essential to a claim of $400 credit for a dependent. The taxpayer and the dependent may be resldenrs of different cities or unre- ated. Head of Family. A taxpayer, though single, who sup- ports in one household one or more | relatives over whom he exercises family control, is the head of a family and en- | titled to the same exemption allowed It looked | a married person ($2,500). Also he may | claim a $400 credit for each dependent. A taxpayer who supports in his home | minor children over whom he exercises | family control is classified as the head | of a family, even though the children may have an income of their own suffi- | cient for their mzintenance. If he does | not support them, even though he does | exercise family control, he cannot classified as the head of a family. It should be remembered that a single person, whether or not the head of a family, is required to file a return if his or her net income for 1932 was $1,000 or more, regardless of whether the income is nontaxable by reason of the $2,500 exemption, To avoid error, taxpayers should note carefully the provisions of the revenue act which relates to the per- sonal exemption and credit for de- pendents where a change of status oc- curs during the taxable year. If the status of a taxpayer changes during the year, the personal exemption allowed to a single person, a head of a family, or a married perscn living with hus- band or wife, and the credit for de- pendents must be apportioned accord- ing to the number of months during which the taxpayer occupied each status. Part Disregarded. For the purpose of such apporticn- ment, a fractional part of a month is disregarded, unless it amounts to more than half a month, in which case it is considered a month. A taxpayer, for example, who on October 14, ceased to be the head of a family—the support in one household of one or more relatives, having been discontinued—is entitled to an exemption of 52,125, which is 9-12 of $2,500, plus 3-12 of $1,000. Husbzand and wife living together may each make a separate return of the in- come of each, or their income may be included in a single joint return. If separate returns are filed, they cannot report income which belongs to the other, but must report only income which actually belongs to each. If a Joint return is filed, such return is treated as a taxable unit, and the in. come disclosed is subject to both nor- mal tax and surtax. Husband and wife may elect each year whether to file joint returns or separate returns. 100 Return to Sawmills.

The committee had already been working a month, when, lo and behold, we have a new and modified budget. It was what I call a phantom budget. “In the 12 years of existence of the Budget Bureau, no President has ever before sent in a phantom budget. Furthermore, this piantcm budget has a few strings attached to it. It was predicated upon the enactment of cer- tain legislation and the Appropriations Committee is not a legislative com- mittee.” Claims Cut of $69,581,000. Boylan said that in not explaining this situation, tha President had not been ‘“exactly famc” Representative McSwain, South Carolina, Democrat, re- marked that the President’s statement ‘was based on “a phantom budget predi- cated on imaginary laws.” Blanton contended a compilation by Marcellus Sheild, clerk of the Appropri- ations Committee for 16 years, showed the committee had made a total redu tion under budget estimates of $69,- 581,000. “Deduct the net amount added to the | bill in the House and you still have a | net saving under budget estimates of | $66.877.000, Blanton said. “I want to | challenge whoever sent that statement ! from the White House to the press to point out specifically how this house ex- | ceeded the budget message.” { P A e S TOLERANCE DISTINCTION CLAIMED FOR EGYPT Minister Addresses Gathering of | Diplomats and Others on Eve of Departure.

The Senate sent back to conference with the House yesterday the long-de- layed bill to turn over to the Red Cross and other rellef organizations 350,000 additional bales of Farm Board cotton | to provide clothing for the needy. The action was taken on motion of | Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the Democratic leader, who said he thought it offered the best chance of getting early disposal of the measure. The bill was passed by both Houses about two weeks ago, but a motion by Senator King, Democrat. of Utah, for its reconsideration held it up. King contended the $11,000,000 to pay for the cotton should come out of the Farm Board's revolving fund in- stead of the Treasury. Gets Unanimous Consent. In the face of indications that King and others siding with him would pro- long the debate, Robinson proposed that the bill be sent back to conference in an effort to obtain agreement. The Senate gave unanimous consent. Prompt action by the conferees was promised by Senator McNary, Repub- | lican, of Oregon, so the cotton can be made available without further delay. | The Farm Board has a balance of | $28,680.930 in the Treasury and could afford to pay the $11,000,000 necessary to cover the liens and handling charges on the cotton, Senator King asserted during a spirited debate in the Senate. Board Opposes Plan. King said he believes that if the Gov- ernment wants to furnish clcthing for the poor it can secure more clothes at | less than half the price incurred in allowing the Farm Board to give its revolving fund credit for the market price of the 350,000 bales. ‘The Farm Board wishes to use this our coal bin full of ed Famous Reading ay be.
