There are perennial differences between members of Congress from the provinces who make the city’s laws and the local residents and business men of Washington. Off the record it probably is friendly enough, but it is a fact some outlying congressmen are pretty sarcastic in their remarks about local taxpayers. - Washington has no income tax (except the federal), no sales tax, and a property tax rate that is the basis of prolonged argument. Congressmen, who pay state, county and municipal taxes, not to mention highway district and sewer taxes, simply boil when Washington delegations plead for the federal government to pay a larger share to city expenses. The federal government build- ings occupy'a husky share of the better’ business sites ih the digteict. “and pay iid takes. Tong 2yteaen an agreement was reached whenee by the federal government wasi - GIVES OBSERVATIONS RELATIVE AND ACTIVITIES NATION’S CAPITAL Last session they shouted down such a tax. This year a new pro- posal was advanced to require congressmen to pay income taxes based on the amount of time they spent here. That also was out. District taxpayers are a bit hot under the collar about that since the congressmen don't pay income taxts in their home states either on their federal salaries. Last year Congress tacked a business privilege tax on local merchants. The merchants ¢ould not very well pass it directly on to the consumers, so now there is pressure to replace it with a sales tax which the customers would pay. But congressmen, in voting taxes for the district, have to keep their skirts clean. Sales taxes are not popular out in the states, and the members don’t want to be caught voting for one for the District. tees Crimie Trouble Right at the moment Washing- ton is having a sort of crime wave, yith nobberies and burglar- p> teperted by hands.full .

Congress fixes the amount of the budget after hear- ings and consultations with a local own board, but if the residents don’t like it they have to take it anyway. They can't vote Congress out of office. see Tax Trouble At various times suggestions have been made for income taxes to ease the load now borne most- ly by property owners, but that idea has bogged down. An income tax would hit members of Con- gress, since they could not keep a very straight face while they voted themselves exemptions. gebtained.a stout foot- NYRYSsi Fhe: Tackets!,.sinee the numbers oer has.9d1 hold among-the colored one-third, of the city’s population. Congressmen cry on the one hand for the District to produce a “Dewey” like New York's to rid the city of the numbers racket and the District citizens cry for the vote so they can select their own law enforcement agencies In turn they demand more money from the government to pay policemen. The present officers, ! the District insists, spend much of their time policing streets where the President is to drive, or in herding the protest marchers who are forever moving on the city. And congressmen retort that Washington has a billion dollar industry with a steady payroll where the workers never strike, and what more could a city want?

Zeppelin company officers answer by pointing out that a dir- igible would be an ideal mark for modern anti-aircraft guns and is too slow to escape enemy pursuit planes. Scattered over Germany or rov- ing the'seas“but ready to return here at the drop of a hat, are the surviving officers and crew of the flame-wrecked airship Hinden- berg. Without exception they are Praying for “der Tag” when they cam again experience the joy and excjjement of landing the new dirigible LZ-130 at Lakehurst, N J. Zeppelin navigation is ingrain- ed in these men, most of whom have been with the company for decades. } BagPhey feel that “to rest means to rust” So, to keep in trim for taking over the LZ-130, they have taken temporary jobs on land and seas, or are helping build the new ship. The place of the late Capt. Ernst Lehmann, a victim of the Lakehurst disaster, has been tak- en by Capt. Hans von Schiller, who was skipper of the defunct Graf Zeppelin. His colleague, Capt. Max Pruss, who served on the Hindenburg, has only recently recovered suf- ficiently from burns he received at Lakehurst to stir about. Yet he is as anxious as anybody to climb abroad the LZ-130.
