Mixon, a graduate of the Bchool of Social Service Administra- tion of Chicago University and Chi- cago Theological Seminary, the Wash- Ington Federation of Churches has taken the preliminary steps in its ef- I fort to obtain more active participa- tion of local Protestant churches in Social Worker welfare work, it was announced today. | Mr. Mixon will direct the Feder- mtion’s new Department of Social Wel- fare, according to an announcement by the Rev. W. L. Darby, executive secretary of the organization. It is hoped that the full strength of the federation, comprising 137 churches of 22 denominations, with a total mem- bership of 75,000, will be enlisted in this movement to bring the churches | Into co-operation with the social mgencies in a sustained effort to re- | lieve the di ss of individuals and es in the District of Columbia | wst have help from some source.

One is whether the anticipated $1,500,000 from the weight tax on motor vehi- | cles should be dumped into the gaso- line tax fund and used to support the Highway Department and certain | activities of the Department of Traffic and Vehicles A second question to be settled dur- ing d ion of the income tax plan is hether the tax shall be made retroactive to 1936 incomes. The bill submitted by the Commissioners would do that, although the tax levied on the 1936 incomes would be one- f of the total lect Business Privilege Tax. ilege tax plan of milar fea- blishments is of 1936 only one- ould be taxed on the b receipts, although half of the amount collect ind both proposals fs enue from these two n the current calendar year. s & courtesy the subcommittee late | ay 1 nitted Capt.

NEW YORK, June 3 (#).—Ogden L. Mills, former Secretary of the Treas- ury, warned last night that, without “wise leadership” and organization on a flexible and voluntary basis, labor unions “may act as a brake on pros- | perity and expansion.” He pointed to Italy and Germany as nations where labor unions out, flushed with power, to dominate slaves.” The labor situation was discussed by Mills in one of a series of lectures he is delivering before the New School for Social Research on “The Future of the Republican Party or the Defense of the Individual.” He made no mention of the Repub- lican party, but, in discussing politics, said he doubted any party “organized strictly on a class basis” would succeed. He sald any labor party “would call for * * * segregation of the political funds from the funds of the union.” He proposed an eight-point program for unions, as follows: “1. Recognize the solidarity of in- should | to the Dis- | “started | the state,” but “ended by being its | terests between all classes. “2. Emphasize co-operation, mutual understanding and agreement rather than the selfish application of power. “3. Refrain from coercion, intimi- dation. “4. Establish beyond question the voluntary character of their member- ship. “5. Realize the necessity of flexi- bility and adaptiveness to changing conditions. Call Mr. D. C, THURSDAY, JUNE 3, 1937 “6.
