Armstrong during a discussion if the District tax situation at a neeting of the Northeast Conference M Citizens’ Associations held last 2ight. A delegate from Burroughs Citizens’ Association, Armstrong made his ob- iervation during the vote indorsing several ways of raising revenue that nave been favored by the federation. Armstrong hit the Government's proposed appropriation of only ‘$5,000,000,000 on the District budg- *t of approximately $40,000,000.” “If only a statute now on the books was enforced, the Government would be paying 40 per cent of the budget, which would amount to about $17,- 000.000,” he said. Comparing the Federal Government to a “huge factory,” he charged it was dominating the District “just like such a firm would dominate in mny other city, if the municipal au- thorities took no steps to curb its power.” He then used the taxation | question as an arcument for en- franchisement of the citizens, point- (ng out the situation was “becoming | steadily worse with regard to levies | n the people.” } However, the conference went on | tecord indorsing the federation’s | iwand on the proposed Inheritance /ax, levy on insurance premiums, | X on gross receipts of corporations, ind increased taxes on public utilities.

Russell, sr., father of 13 | living children—one of them a Senator —and, despite his own age, a strong advocate of the President’s court plan, was attending the American Law Institute convention here today after a trip up the line from his own rafl- road station in the “Cracker State.” For all but 7 of the last 39 years, he has been on the bench, the last 15 as chief justice. In the last few vears he has seen his son, Richard B. (Dick) Russell, jr., become succes- sively Speaker of the Georgia House, Governor and now Senator. Winder, Ga., is known as the home of the Russell family, but the chief Justice gives the address as Russell Station. There's & tiny frame station —a flag stop—at the Russell estate on the edge of Winder. It was named in Russell's honor when he became judge of the Western District Circuit Court in 1898. “Elusive Judge,” Says Wife. It was at Russell Station that the tall. white-haired, white-mustached chief justice boarded the train for ‘Washington. With him was Mrs. Russell, who terms him the “elusive judge” because of the way he gets away from her in hotel lobbies and other places where he meets old friends. “I'm not in favor of removing any | member of the Supreme Court, Justice Russell declared, “but I am in favor of six new judges. Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote some of his -best de- cisions after he was 90. A great many people are worn out before they are 70.
