Brawner, jr., 62, presi- dent of the Chestnut Farms-Chevy Chase Dairy, died suddenly yester- day at his Summer home at Cape Neddick, Me., after a heart attack. He had been in {ll health for several weeks. His son, Edgar N. Brawner, vice president of the dairy, and his daugh- ter, Mrs. Sarah B. Pardoe, both left Washington gnd joined their mother, Mrs. Iola Brawner, at the Maine home yesterday. They will return here this evening to prepare for the funeral Saturday. Details of arrangements were to be announced later, s A native of Alexandria, Va., Mr. Brawner, when scarcely out of his teens, opened a small milk concern at 1114 Connecticut avenue in part- nership with George M. Oyster, jr., which, under their guidance and direc- tion, soon became a flourishing busi- ness. When Mr. Oyster died, in 1921, Mr. Brawner continued in business as the sole owner. In 1925 he built the large dairy now standing at Twenty-sixth street and Pennsylva- nia avenue and incorporated it, at which time he became president of the corporation. Several years later he sold his dairy to the Natlonal Dairy Products Corp., of which he is a director, and in 1931 merged his interest with the Chevy Chase Dairy. Mr. Brawner belonged to the Rotary Club of Washington, of which he was a past president. He was also a director of the National Bank of Washington, of the Terminal Re- frigerator and Warehouse Corp. and of the Norfolk & Washington Steam- boat Corp. He was a member of the Cathedral Lodge of Masons and St. Albans Church and belonged to Congressional and Columbia Country Clubs. CONFEREES AGREE ON TENANCY BILL House Clings to Provisions of Immediate Ownership—Presi- dent May Veto. By the Associated Press. Senate and House conferees tenta- | tively agreed yesterday on a compro- | mise farm tenancy bill, despite pre- | dictions of some Senators that the Presidefit might veto the measure. After four hours of argument, House | spokesmen ¢lung firmly to a provision | of their bill which would give imme- | diate ownership to tenants purchas- | ing farms with Government aid. They agreed, however, to write in a stipulation that the land should not be sold or mortgaged for at least five years. The Senate bill would have forbid- den lease, sale or mortgage of the property unti] it was paid for in full, | over a period ranging up to 60 years. Some Senators said privately they belleved President Roosevelt would veto any legislation which does not provide for Federal supervision of the land for more than five years. Conferees said they probably would lay the compromise before the Senate and House next week, if it is approved by the Agriculture Department and leaders of both chambers, FUNERAL RITES HELD FOR MRS.

C, THURSDAY, REPORTER TELLS OF FORD BEATINGS Labor Board Probers Told 25 Cars of “Hoodlums” Beat Union Leaders. E the Associated Press. DETROIT, July 8.—A newspaper re- porter who witnessed the beating of United Automobile Workers' members at the Ford Motor Co.’s plant May 26 testified today that “every place you! looked you saw somebody being kicked | around by four or five people.” The reporter, Victor Beresford of the Detroit News, was the first newspaper representative to testify at the National Labor Relations Board hearing on its charges of unfair labor praWices against the Ford Co. He said Victor Reuther and Richard T. Frankensteen, U. A. W. A. leaders, were beaten and chased away when they went to the River Rouge plant in suburban Dearborn to distribute union literature. Beresford, who was with Herbert Bauer, a photographer, said that *“Ford service men at the gate” told them be- fore the fighting that they could not take pictures unless they obtained per- mission from Harry Bennett, Ford personnel director. Photographer Beaten. Beresford testified that when the fighting started he went over to a highway overpass leading into the plant. “Ten or twelve photographers were | being chased down by a couple of | men,” Beresford said. “I went around to the north side of the bride. Reuther was being thrown down the stairs. He was badly beaten | up, but got away and ran.” Several hours before the fighting, | Beresford said he went to the plant to | look over the scene and saw ‘“several | cars containing about 25 men parked under the overpass.” “What sort of men would you say they were?” asked Laurence A. Knapp, Labor Board attorney. “I'd say they were dago hoodlums,” Beresford replied. Louis J. Colombo, sr., Ford attorney, JULY 8, 1937 voiced & loud objection to the descrip- tion, which Beresford later said was & “common police term” and was not intended as a reflection on Italians. Colombo then moved to have Beres- ford's testimony stricken, but was overruled by John T, Lindsay, N. L. R. B. trial examiner. Bauer described the men seen the morning before the riot as “typical of the sort of hoodlums I have known in my years of covering police stories” and said none of these men wore Ford ! hadges. Thomas McIntyre, another Detroit news reporter, described the fighting around the overpass and said he saw “only one instance” of a U. A, W. A, member fighting back. Police Look Other Way. Robert Lablonde, reporter for the United Press, testified that he saw the fighting and that Prankensteen Was beaten 50 severely that “I didn't think he would ever get up again.” He said also that while Franken- steen and Reuther were being beaten, two mounted Dearborn policemen were at the bottom of the stairway leading to the overpass and were “looking the opposite way.” ‘ Telegram Warns of Riot. ‘The Committee for Industrial Or- ganization sald today it would con- tinue to distribute literature to Ford employes in Detroit instead of cutside the plant in Dearborn. This announcement was made by Homer Martin, international presi- dent of the C. I. O. U. A. W. of A, which canceled plans yesterday for a demonstration at the gates of the big factory. Martin said he received an anony- mous telegram saying Ford service men intended to precipitate & riot and lay the blame on tne union. Rich- ard T. Frankensteen, U. A. W. A. or- ganizational director, in calling off the distribution said he had re- ceived & similar telegram. “The union carried its campaign to enroll the plant’s 89,300 employes to its gates on May 26, and more than a dozen union members were injured in a fight which ensued. Martin said the U. A. W. A. would adhere to the plan it adopted after the May riot of passing out its lit- erature as the workers enter Detroit from Dearborn in automobiles and on street cars. He added that the Ford “organization drive will con- tinue. Beaten Up, Says Frankensten. Frankensten testified yesterday aft- in which he and Walter Reuther, president of the West Side local, were the most seriously injured. Reuther preceded him on the stand, and their testimony was similar, The husky Frankensten, a former foot ball player, said he was kicked and beaten repeatedly and unced"” down the stairway of & bridge across a highway. “I was kicked on the head,” he re- lated, “until the back of it was as TAW 85 beefsteak.” OUTLET IS LOCATED FOR TOMATO CROP Co-operative Again. Offers Aid to Farmers Hit by Cannery Strike. BY the Associated Press, CAMBRIDGE, Md, July 8—An alternate market for Dorchester County tomatoes, which may be barred {from their usual outlet by the Phillips Co. strike, appeared today while efforts to settle the strike continued. The Hillsboro-Queen Anne Co- operative Corp. said that if farmers Wwith a total of 200 acres of tomatoes would agree, the Co-operative would open its packing house at Vienna, Md.

The Senate Committee on the District of Columbia proposes in the omnibus tax bill for Wash- ington to increase the tax on all land—not just vacant land—from $1.50 to $2.50 per hundred dol- lars of assessed valuation. - This idea is nothing but the posthumous, although easily recognizable and somewhat deformed child of Henry George’s single-tax theory. And that theory of taxing only the land was exploded years ago. No tax expert, or near expert, would think of recommending it. This particular idea, as far as we know, has never been tried in the UnitedStates. There was inaugurated in Pittsburgh sev- eral years ago a system of gradually reducing the ta:: on improvements and placing it upon the land. Taxes were not increased, but simply shifted. No shifting is increasing the land tax. And what happened in Pittsburgh? proposed in the Senate’s bill; merely To escape the increased land tax industries have moved from Pittshurgh proper into the suburbs. Home buyers and builders have sought the outlying areas which do not have the higher land tax. And the same thing will happen here. With a 6624% increase in the land tax, the trend to build outside of Washington will speed up. Even with a $1.50 rate, that’s already below indicates it clearly.

As a taxpayer, what does this mean to you? It means that there will be less to tax as the years go by. Therefore, the remaining taxpayers must pay more. In other words, boosting the land rate a dollar is only the beginning. Because many owners will be unable to carry vacant land they will let it go for taxes. The District will collect less. And you will make up the difference by paying more. ; Other land owners will dump their holdings on the market. property will be worth less. . happening. The table The market will go down and your Buyers of new homes will prefer to locate outside of Washington because of lower land taxes, 80 your property will lose value. While particularly hitting real property owners, it will hurt everybody because it will hurt Washington. Because the situation is serious, action and quick action is necessary. The Senate has no desire to enact legislation for the District which a majority of its residents do not want or which will injure the city. To date one man has spoken for this tax. Why don’t you, as a taxpayer, let the Senate know how you feel? Get in touch with any Senntbr you know or address a line to Senator Wm. H. King, Chairman of the Senate District Committee, gle tax in Washington. Washington, D. C., July 8, 1937. Sincerely, and let him know you oppose this attempt to open the door to the sin.
