The Hatchet, George Washington | University weekly, has won for the second time the silver loving cup for the best editorial page of any student publication in the Middle Atlantic States, it was announced today. Awarded the trophy at the annual | Bpring convention of the Intercollegiate Newspaper Association of the Middle Atlantic States last week end in Phila- delphia, the paper also tied with Temple University’s News for third place in the news handling and gen- eral make-up competition. It won the Editorial Cup for the first time at the association’s Fall meeting. | At the Spring convention, Howard | W. Ennes, jr., associate editor of the Hatchet, was elected president of the association. He lives in the 5100 block | of Forty-fifth street.

Gart- side pointed out again that when the blossoms are opened full they do not present the deep pinkish tinge they do when in the incomplete stage. The April sunshine bleaches the petals and the scene, after a time, changes from pink to white. Flooded with applications for rooms, the American Automobile Association turned to the Police Department yes- terday for assistance, after sending a large part of its staff on a house-to- house canvass in search of lodging. The Traffic Division reported a record number of calls. A chief com- plaint was that “out-of-town motor- ists don't know how to get around the circles.” On many highways last night, out- going traffic was given three lanes and incoming one, instead of two each. Even then, it was reported, traffic frequently came to a standstill. Con- | ditions were reported mnear normal shortly after midnight, however. Nearby Hotels Crowded. Hotels in Baltimore, Frederick and geveral other nearby towns reported near sell-outs, Visitors to Washington said that in several of the smaller towns they were unable to find any accommodations.

All the hearings were set for April 16. in an effort to maneuver their cars through a solid stream of other cars. Mrs. Maxine Bumstead, Columbus, Ohio, complained of circling her hotel six times in an effort to park the car. She finally caught her husband’s eye as he stood waiting on the sidewalk, and he climbed in the car as the cur- rent of traffic was about to sweep it for for another circuit. One family of five was seen sitting in their car in an alley. They had sat there for some time. Questioned by a passerby, who suspected their plight, the father confessed he had driven in the ailey to “rest” and couldn’t summon the courage to brave the traffic again.

REALLY IS T Gk TP ONU.S. EMPLOYE House Membeir Proposes Amendment to Widen Scope of Levy. BY WILL P. KENNEDY. Chairman Cochran of the House Committee on Expenditures, today introduced an amendment to the Con- stitution, which would require every Federal official and employe, elected or appointed, to make a Federal in- come tax return on his or her salary, and also require an income tax to the State of which he or she is a legal resident. His proposal also would require all State officials and State employes to make Federal income tax returns on their salaries. It further would re- quire officials and employes of all national and State banks, members of the Federal Reserve System, to pay income tax to the States on their salaries. “The necessity for this legislation grows out of the constitutional pro- vision which does not require a Fed- eral official or employe to pay State income tax, and does not require the President or members of the Federal judiciary to pay Federal income tax,” Cochran explained. He pointed out, however, that although the salary is considered exempt, all Presidents of the United States since enactment of the income tax law, have paid an income tax to the Government on their salaries. Another reason for offering the amendment, Cochran said, is that in the case of Brush vs. Commissioner of Internal Revenue, March 15, 1937, the Supreme Court by a 7-to-2 decision with Justices Brandeis and Roberts dissenting, held in effect that State officials and State employes are not | subject to Federal income tax on the salary they receive A third reason given by Cochran is that “officials and employes of na- tional and State banks, members of the Federal Reserve system, are taking | advantage of a decision by the Social | Security Board, holding that the banks are instrumentalities of the Govern- | ment. Officials and employes of the | | banks thus place themselves in the same category as a Federal employe and therefore are not making returns on their salaries to the various States. | 860000000000000000000000 IS Coming April 19 * b4 the Shoreham'’s b4 ICERGARNIVAL French Style Suite, $285 French is abundantly shown in this exhibit.
