GRAND RAPIDS. Mich. June T.
Jay N. Darling. chief of the United
States Biological Survey, speaking be-
fore the National Council of Federated
Garden Clubs here yesterday. charged
that C. w. A. workers in many States
had done more damage to forests
than can be rectified by c. c. c..
workers in 100 years"
He declared that the lack OF a
planned conservation program IN
these States had resulted in the cut
ting down of healthy trees and shrubs
with commercial, scenic and water
shed value that future generations
will have to pay for
The people have stolen from nature
that which they cannot use in the
waste and destruction of natural re-
sources" ne said
Darling criticized States which he
said had carried on ill-advised and
useless drainage projects. taking away
water from at 100000 acres of lakes,
creeks and marshes. and turning the
water into the Mississippi to drown
people in costly and destructive
floods
Reports submitted at committee
meetings of the National Council to-
day indicated that some progress had
been made in doing away with OBJ
jectionable billboards and placing
them where they will not obstruct
scenic views A resolution was
adopted indorsing the project of the
Robert E. Lee Memorial Foundation
to restore gardens at Stratford Hall,
Va, birthplace of Gen. Lee.

board, that a warning be sent
Prince Georges liquor retailers
that it is illegal to buy from Dis

a county distributors license or q
Maryland wholesalers license.
The board last week received
strong protests from county whole
salers that the practice was de-

the county's liquor trade.
Protests came principally about
the beer trade from those who
purchased distributors licenses
under the old beer act.
A District wholesaler may sell
to a Maryland wholesaler. it was
pointed out.
The purpose Of the provision in
the new liquor act is to enable
Maryland to collect the whole
saler's tax.
The board has no police power
and therefore can only send a
warning, Mr.. Bowie pointed out,
although it can suggest to the
police department that certain
violations exist.

BYRD DECISION
SCRAPS PEERY
TAX PLAN
Half of Program Is Destined
for Junking As Senator
Breaks Deadlock
By Times Staff Correspondent

ny AAmeS SLd1I correspondent
RICHMOND, Feb. Limited
States Senator Harry Flood Byrd,
came to town yesterday, conferred
in a hotel room with leaders
briefly but earnestly, and there
followed this agreement:
Half Of the tax increase pro
posals of Gov. George C. Peery
will end in the waste basket.
There will be no tax on divi-
dendS Of Virginia corporations.
Modification of the income
tax (called the salary tax by
its opponentsl to conform close
ly with Federal provisions.
Governor Peery, earlier in the
day, had said he was sticking to
his tax proposals.
The new agreement would cut
his tax yield of $l,161, 900 in half
and the difference would be made
up by increasing the estimates OF
revenue from existing sources.
Senator Byrd came here when
the general, assembly was hope
leSly deadlocked on the COVER
nor's tax increase program. It
had little chance of getting
through, as the Governor asked
and stood a good chance of be,
ing thrown out in its entirety
The Governor planned to use
$1,000,000 additional revenue to
be raised under his plan on
schools, although John Garland
Pollard, retiring governor, had
turned thumbs down on such a
nlan.

RICHMOND, Feb. 1.-Gooch-

addition to Albemarle, Greene

independent city Of Charlottes-

Under this proposal the eighth
district will have two centers Of

HOUSE ASLEEP
AMENDMENT
GOES OVER
Plan to Return Part of Revenue
to Cities and Counties
Faces Doom Today
BY JOHN E. TAYLOR
Times Staff Correspondent

RICHMOND, Feb. 1.-Adminis-
tration leaders were caught nap
ping here yesterday and an
amendment providing for return
to the counties and cities, on a
65-35 basis favoring the localities,
Of liquor revenues was adopted,
but final action was continued
until today on motion to
~pass by"
The upsetting amendment was
offered by Delegate George w.
Herring, Prince William, who
wants the liquor revenues re-
turned to the localities on the
same basis as the gasoline tax
money was returned prior to en-
actment of the Byrd road act.
The amendment was offered dur
ing debate in the house of dele
gates on the liquor control bill.
Reconsideration Today
But last night leaders and pa
irons of the bill, including Dele
gate Wilbur C. Hall, Loudoun. who
Is plotting the bill through the
shoal waters of the house, got
together and lined up their dele
gates to such an extent that to-
day. with the amendment COM
ing UP again on a motion to re
consider" even Mr.. Herring ad-
mitted his amendment is going
down like the Titantic.
However, Mr.. Herring. co-pa-
tron of an amendment making 1t
mandatory that the State estab-
lish a brandy distillery in the ap-
pie section, were sure to win out
on this provision. AS the prices OF
liquor in other States are learned
here and, as the lobbyists for the
distillery trust work, so much
stronger is sentiment for the State
owned and operated plant.
Washington Affected
An amendment, offered by Dele
gate j. Fred Birrell, Alexandria,
was adopted. It will require Wash
ington beer distributors to main.
tain Virginia distribution points
for their products.
AS the bill went its stormy way,
the House adopted an amendment
providing for right of hearing oe-
fore revocation of licenses to sell
high-powered beer and wine. This
amendment also gives the licensee
whose ticket to sell has been taken
up, the privilege of selling his
stock to the control board or to
out of State interests.
