BALTIMORE, Dec. 7.-Declar-
ing that up to $50, ,OOO, 900 changes
hands in Maryland during the
racing season and that the State
could easily tax this, the Mary
land State Oranges tax commit
tee has urged the Grange to sup
port the racing tax plan advocated
by the State Tax Survey Commits
sion.
County Rate Cuts Seen.
The plan, urged at the sixtieth
annual meeting of the Grange
now going on here, would meet
no opposition from the farmer,
says the committee, adding:
"MOSt important of all, it
would reduce the county tax
rates from IS to so per cent
with . possibility of a reduction.
in the State rate. This, we feel,
is the important point to con-
Sider."
The Grange today was to dis
cuSs and act on the proposal to
tax pari.mutuel winnings at the
States race tracks 10 per cent.
Small Road Aid Urged
The tax committees report
also discouraged doing so much
work on trunk line highways and
urged more State aid to smaller
roads, saying:
"The State can well afford
to call q halt on the building
of high price lateral roads and
the extension program Of road
wideningS and improvement
and apply some Of the receipts
from the gas tax and motor
vehicle license fund for the
maintenance of county roads.

EXTRA GUARDS
AWAIT TREK

CUMBERLAND, Md, Dec. 7.
In anticipation of the arrival Of
hunger marchers on their return
from Washington late today, the
entire night police force has been
hurriedly called out to augment
the day squad.
Preparations are being made
for the reception Of the marchers
similar to those of Saturday
when the city was turned into a
military camp. Officers said,
however, they did not anticipate
any trouble.
A report that a truck load of
firearms, ammunition and dyna-
mite was gotten through Cumber-
land Saturday is not credited by
local police.
Six marchers returning to
Chicago are in Jail here on a
charge of driving fast and reck-
lessly. They were occupying a
car which was wrecked when it
sheared off a telegraph pole near
Crystal Park. on the National
Highway, west of here at 3
o'clock this morning. They left
washington in advance of the
main body.
The Washington times., 1932-12-07

nounced they will avoid going
through Cumberland, Md. on
their return journey.
The northern group left last
night, with AZ Stragglers hiking
through Maryland today. having
no means of transportation. The
last of the southern group, SIS
strong, departed during the morn
ing in trucks and automobiles.
Although disgruntled farmers
are assembled in Washington to
air their grievances, police said
they anticipated no trouble from
them and only small detail was
on duty.
Police Need Rest
Police were hopeful that the
new bonus army would refrain
from trouble until after all po-
lice who worked extra hours dur
ing the hunger march had the
opportunity to rest and relax.
With the retirement of the
marcherS the suit which has been
filed on their behalf to compel
the District Commissioners, Major
Brown and William A Van
Duzer, traffic director, to allow
the marchers to prade, was dis.
missed in District Supreme Court
today at the request of their own
lawyers.
"We'lI Be Back"
The Northern marcherS were
accompanied to the District Line
by Representative Fiorello La
Guardia (R.0 of New York, who
had visited the camp earlier in
the day. After inspecting the
camp, Representative LaGuardia
said he would prepare a state
ment for the Congressional Record
and indicated he may speak on
the subject from the floor of the
House.
The departure last night was
orderly. A few of the marchers
yelled:
Don't worry. Wen be back"
Met by the Police
The first truckload of home
ward bound hunger marchers
entered Maryland on the Bladens-
burg Road at 6 o'clock. In a few
minutes it was joined by others
and all were started out under
an escort.
The main body entered Mary
land through Rhode Island Ave
nue.. These trucks and private
automobiles were met by a force
of Maryland police and were
started on the run to Baltimore,
where the marchers spent the
night in the 104th Medical Regi-
ment, Maryland National Guard,
armory.
Some few District police will
remain on duty at the Capitol
and White House today, but 800
flremen sworn in as special DO
lice were back in their firehouSes
today.
Five in Hospitals
Five of the marcherS, suffering
from exposure, were at Gallinger
Hospital today, threatened with
pneumonia. At a make-shift in.

7 Kinks SEIZED
LOON HIS

Frank Dunn, a Navy Yard en-
ploye, whose home is in the 200
block of Ninth st. N. E., believes
that he was the original captor
of the loon discovered a few days
ago at the reflecting pool and
now quartered at the Zoo.
Dunn says that about two
months ago he captured a loon
near Beverly Beach, in the West
River territory of the Eastern
Shore, brought it to Washington
to give the children a view of
it, and later released it on the
Eastern Branch. Naturally, he
cannot be sure it is the same
loon, but he thinks it probable.
Looms, he says, are common
about West River, where he has
seen as many as six at one time.

BY RONALD THORNE

Jascha Heifetz, one of the
greatest of contemporary violin
lists, appeared in recital yesterday
afternoon in Constitution Hall,
under the auspices of Mrs. Wilson
Greene, in a program that re-
vealed admirably his mastery Of
his art.
Two works of major Importance
were included, Grieg's Sonata in
C minor, and Mozart's Concerto
in A minor. The former was par
ticularly well received. It is
splendidly illustrative of the
power of Grieg to create mar
velous effects, and the fine CO.
operation of Isador Achron,
Heifetz'S accompanist, made its
rendition joy to all who heard
it.
The MoZartN work was most en-
joyable for it's final movement,
the rondo, to which the brilliant
artistry of Heitefz lent remark
able effectiveness.
Following the intermisSion a
group of shorter works was pre-
sented, including the Rimsky-Kor-
sakoff Flight of a Bundle Bee, "
so widely popularized of late by
the radio, and "Tzigane," by
Ravel, revealing the characteristic
novelties of rhythm and melodic
effects for which this composer is
famous.
All told, an interesting and
varied program, presented with
rare technical skill and sincere
artistry, to which ave Maria, :"
played as an encore, added an
other noteworthy experience for
all who listened.
