To 12 to 40 Years. Record Here

A sentence of IL to 40 years-almost
without precedent in District Court
annals-was imposed today by Justice
F. Dickinson Let's on George Garcia,
so-called "full-dress burglar" who
pleaded guilty to % housebreaking
cases and was convicted of three
others.
The punishment was the most
severe meted out here for offenses
other than homicide in recent years.
Despite the length of the sentence,
it was far short of the total 103 to SIS
years, which might have been imposed.
Garcia, 25-year-old Cuban waiter,
was arrested here several months ago.
At that time he boasted to detectives
that he was q master craftsman-
probably one of the best thieves in the
country"
Often clad in a dress suit or g.

tarily entombed $50 feet below the
earth's surface, approximately 500
miners settled down TO an underground
existence today after a jolly, near
sleepless night inaugurating sit
down strike in the Superior Coal Co. s
No. mine at Wilsonville.
The strike was called late yesterday
to support demands for a share-the-
work plan with 300 employees Of the
company made idle last week by the
closing of another pit for repairs.
Laughing and singing the men
underground carried their carefree
demonstration into the early morning
hours. Seventy of the older men,
those between SIS and 10 years of age,
were sent to the surface by the pit
committee to spare them the hard
ships of the self-impoSed entombment

26 and gray haired veterans of the
pits twice their age and more-were

dent of Local No. l of the Progressive

AS rapidly as the news of the under
ground sit-down spread, crowds gath

The indictment of Garcia on so

mentioned by the Criminal Justice As

because Of the expressed wishes Of

that the multiple indictments were re-

Enactment of some of the proposed
new taxes for the District in prefer
ence to meeting the impending deficit
by raising real estate taxes was IA
vored today by two members of the
Senate District Committee-Senators
Capper, Republican, of Kansas, and
Austin, Republican, of Vermont.
Meanwhile, the Senate subcommit-
tee handling the s45 ,228000 local ap-
preparation bill went ahead with hear
ings today, concentrating on unem-
ployment relief and other welfare ac-
tivities. including the jail, hospitals
and other institutions.
Senator Austin announced his sup
port of the sales taxes, which would
produce s5,0O0,00O, as more desirab BILE
than increasing the real estate levy.
Senator Capper declared he would
rather have an income tax than a
higher tax on homes. The Commits
sioners, however. have decided to
recommend the sales tax temporarily,
in lieu of the income tax, in their
flve-point revenue program, and ask
Congress for $4,000 for a thorough
study of the entire local tax structure
during the recess. Capper pointed out,
however, that use of the sales tax is
growing elsewhere.
S8,5OO,O00 Possible Deficit.
AS the appropriation bill now stands
it would require the District to raise
S6,000000 Of new revenue, and, if
changes being requested in the Senate
hearings are approved, the deficit
might go to S8,500,000.
II the supply bill passes. even with
out further increases, and no new
taxes are enacted, the commissioners
would have no alternative but to
raise the rate on real estate and
tangible personal property, since they
are prohibited by law from creating
a deficit The House Appropriations
Committee wrote proviso into the
supply bill that would have prevented
any increase in the real estate or

President Roosevelt today re-

succeed Associate Justice Willis
Van Devanter of the Supreme
Court, who will retire June 2.
Mindful of the talk in the Sem

for the position, a reporter face
tiously asked the President this
question:
When, Mr.. President, are you
going to confirm the Senate's
nomination of Senator Robin
son?"
The President leaned back in
his chair and laughed heartily.
Afterward Mr.. Roosevelt re-
iterated he had given no thought
yet to the question of appointing
a new justice.

The Spanish government consolidat-
ed it's northern armies under de-
tense junta today and General Fran
cisco Francois insurgent war machine
rumbled into new advance positions
west of Madrid and on the swiftly
shifting eastern front.
An insurgent communique said the
insurgents captured Villanueva de la
Canada, Is miles west of Madrid, de-
livering a severe blow to the govern
ment salient thrust out a month ago
in an attempt to lift the siege of
Madrid.
Two government battalions were re-
portedl in danger of annihiliation six
miles southwest of Tereul, as encircl-
ing insurgent forces severed govern
ment communication lines.
The Teruel offensive, heading to-
ward vital lines connecting Madrid
and Valencia, reached point so miles
from Cuenca. That brought new wor-
ries to the Observation-Disclosures govern
ment regime, which ended four conse-
cutive days of cabinet sessions on
military and defense affairs.
Jesus Hernandez, minister of edu
cation, said the new northern defense
junta would be similar to the civilian
defense organization that successfully
directed the defense of besieged Mad
rid.
