Towson and four other members of

pleaded guilty to 10 cases of robbery
and two of assault with intent to kill.
Justice O'Donoghue fixed the sentence
for each case at to 4 years In the

run consecutively. The Government
was represented before the court by
Assistant United States Attorney Allen
Krouse, who handled the entire prose-

changes and kidney effects which
have been reported in human beings.
The only medicine which ordinarily
should be used with sulfanilamide,
DR.. Roth said, is sodium bicarbonate
to counteract its acidity. except in
cases where specific serums are used.
Danger in Haphazard Use.
DR.. Roth urged the physicians to
prescribe the drug only for condi-
tions In which its value has been
proven and to discourage its use as
household panacea. Although only
three or four deaths due to sulfanila-
mide itself have been reported. he
said, its action on the blood cells is
dangerous to use haphaxardly.
While heart ailments cause most
deaths in the country at large, they
run fourth in Washington, it was
reported by DR.. Roger M. Choisser,
professor of pathology. from his find-
ings on 1900 autopsies. The chief
killer, he said, appears to be tu-

The test was first tried on school

ago. Those whose blood pressures
responded to the cold shock have
been found especially susceptible to

MEN
HIT BUSINESS TAX
House District Committee
Receives Two Protests
From South.

Opposition Of type which may be
most important in final considera-
ton of District tax legislation was
piling up today against continuance
of the business privilege levy as the
House District Committee received
two protests from the Southern Furni-
ture Manufacturers Association with
headquarters in High Point, N. c.
As in the cases of complaints from
Maryland and Florida, the protest
of the North Carolina group was di-
rected at the ruling that the business
levy is applicable to business done
here by representatives of concerns
located elsewhere.
In our opinion" an Official Of the
furniture association wrote, this
form of taxation is fundamentally
wrong, and if local communities
throughout the country undertake to
tax all sales made from other COM
munities or other States it will handi-
cap and tend to destroy the free
movement of interstate commerce"
The second communication from
the same group likewise stressed the
dangerous precedent" involved in al
lowing one local government to tax
foreign" concerns for the privilege
of carrying on interstate operations.
In this instance, it was pointed out,
the tax has the effect of forcing a
North Carolina firm to aid in sup
porting the District government, q
condition termed obviously unfair"
Both protests were submitted to
Representative Hancock, Democrat,
Of North Carolina, and referred by
him to the committee.
Among previous complaints against
the business privilege tax have been
ones from Florida fruit growers and
from Maryland contractors. Pressure
OF this kind from the home States of
members of Congress is calculated to
have more effect than local protests
against extension Of the tax
Hearings on the tax program were
to continue on Monday, with a Balti-
more group scheduled to make COM
plants in person. In the absence of
Chairman Nichols of Oklahoma, Rep
resentative Wood, Democrat, of Wis.,
consin will direct the subcommittee.
