B—I2 CITIZENS OPPOSE GAS TAX DIVERSION Levy on Cars by Weight In- stead of Value Alsc Hit by Group. The diversion of the gasoline tax revenue into the general tax fund was strongly opposed last night by the Forest Hills Citizens’ Association, con- tending that an increase in automobile fuel price will follow if this becomes the means of expending gas levies. Richard M. Ham, representative of the American Automobile Association, urged the group to object to the pro- posal of allowing the gas revenue to revert into the general fund. Ham stated, in his address to the group, meeting at the Ben Murch School, when it convened for the first time this year, that the expenditures made in constructing and maintaining streets, traffic signals and other traffic maintenances were appropriated from this source of revenue. “The tax on gasoline is made in pro- portion to the amount needed to meet these expenditures.” he said. “If it | is diverted into the general fund the tax will be increased to meet other budgets, thus imposing a burden on the motorist that should come from other sources.” To Notify D. C. Board. President L. A. Carruthers, who is also a uelegate to the National Tax Convention, urged the association to approve the measure along with an- other resolution opposing the proposal to levy automobile tax on the weight of the car instead of the value. Car- ruthers said, “This is another back- ward step in taxation, as it will re- lieve the owner of a new machine of paying as much as some one who has been assessed on the value.” These measures were unanimously approved with the decision to notify | the District Commissioners of the | group’s stand. A resolution requesting a stop sign | at Reno road and Nebraska avenue as a protection to school children was | favored. Dr. Foster Speaks. Dr. Stenart Foster urged the mem- bers to join in the tuberculosis case- | finding project. He asked members | to take advantage of the “golden op- | portunity” to have X-rays made of 10,000 Washingtonians to determine | whether they have the disease. The W. P. A. has provided funds for con- | ducting this survey. | Ham, who spoke at the meeting, | was also admitted as a new member. | U. S.CORRESPONDENT BURIED IN ETHIOPIA, | Military Honors Given Barber of Chicago Tribune, Who Died of Malaria By the Associated Press. ADDIS ABABA, October 8 —Wilfred Barber, Chicago Tribune correspond- ent. was given a soldier's burial today. His body was wrapped in an Ameri- | can flag and carried to a peaceful grove of eucalyptus trees close to Addis Ababa for burial with simple cere- monies. A score of American newspaper men, who had worked with him covering the war until his death of malaria and complications Sunday, accom- panied his body to the grave. With the funeral party went Bare ber's two mules, riderless and their stirrups reversed in ancient army cus- tom. Barber had used the mules for trips into the interior. The flag which covered Barber was tendered by the United States lega- tion, presented by Cornelius Van H. Engert, charge d'affaires. Besides the newspaper men, the services were attended by representa- tives of Emperor Haile Selassie, of the legation, of the government and of the church. Mrs, Everett Andrews Colson, the wife of the American financial adviser to the Emperor, was present. It was she who nursed Bar- ber during his fatal illness. They heard Rev. Mr. Dick, superin- | tendent of the American Adventist Mission in Africa, extol the brilliant young American as having died as bravely as any soldier under fire in | his braving of disease and endurance | of privations. Nothing has brought home to the foreigners in Addis Ababa the grim reality of war, with its attendant | privations, as much as Barber’s death. | He was a native of New York City end one of the first American cor- respondents to arrive in Ethiopia. He went into the Ogaden area, where he contracted tertian malaria, This was aggravated when he came up to Addis Ababa, with its heavy | rains and its extreme aititude.
