State Income Tax to Be Used as " canon

Homer A. Holt, now Governor, has
held that legal residence for voting
purposes "is to be determined largely
by his the voter's) intention" And
that person must show by both act
and intention" that he is going to re-
turn to live in the county where he
seeks to vote
Legal residents temporarily absent
from the State in public office or in
public service, or on business, are not
affected, party leaders said Their
right to vote is not questioned.
The challenge is directed especially
to the sons and daughters of West
Virginians whose parents left the
State years ago and who, themselves
have never lived here, Republican
leaders declared.
Move May Be Ineffective.
Assuming that most of the absentee
voters in Washington are Government
employees, the constitutional barrier
against State taxation OF Federal SAL
aries probably would render ineffective
any move similar to that reported from
West Virginia, 1t was pointed out
here today One tax ofncial said that
while State might impose some
levies, such as property or poll taxes
it could not apply the State income tax
to Federal salaries

BUD BAER B|FFED
INTO RING LIMBO
BarIund Scars ThroneWard
as Foe SurrenderS in
Seventh Round.
BY DREW MIDDLETON.
Associated Press Sports Writer,

NEW YORK. March SIN the
confusion" Dazzy Vance once re.
marked, Il found myself in the world
series
In the confusion at the Garden last
night Buddy Baer found himself out
of the heavyweight picture, Gunnar
Barlund, the enduring Finn, fought
himself In, and Al Ramo, Barlund's
trainer, was the only casual of the eve
ming.
Ramos mishap gave the battle an
authentic light-comedy touch. As Ref
cree Billy Cavanagh pushed the beaten
Baer to his corner in the seventh
round. Ramo leaped into the ring to
greet Barlund, tripped on one Of the
ropes and fell, fiat and out, with a
sprained ankle.
To hardened ringsiders, Gunnar's
technical knockout victory in 1885 of
the seventh was as astounding as the
sight Of trainer being carried out of
the arena. A short-ender in the wager
ing, Barlund carried the fight to the
massive younger brother of Max, and
took every round but the first, which
he lost on Baer's singing punching
and his own low blows.
Thereafter it was all Barlund. The
battle-scarred Finn stabbed Henry
Jacob Baer, jr.. with long left hands,
beat a steady tattoo on his ribs and
generally outfought and outthought
the Californian. In the seventh Bar
lund penned Baer in a corner and
pummeled him heartily with both
hands to the face and body.
Buddy rolled his eyes toward his
corner, and moment later mumbled
to Cavanagh that he'd had enough.
Barlund, overlooked In the uproar
surrounding Ramos Brodie, had little
to say in the dressing room.
He did not hurt me. was dizzy q
little, but after the third I was strong
er than he was. Yes. he can punch,
but he has no snap to his blows. He
is an easy man to work on"
Paul Damski, the Fnn's manager
told one and all he wanted the win
ner of next Fridays Tommy Farr-
Max Baer bout as Barlund's next foe.
Buddy didn't sound much like q
beaten fighter.
"It's just one Of those things"
quoth Jacob Henry. Got to take the
bad with the good. The referee stopped
it, but I could have gone on. But he
won the fight all right, there's no
doubt of that. I just couldn't dc any,
thing to hurt him."
