With POpe-ROOsevelt
Letter Presented
BY ELEANOR PACKARD

(Unlted PrcSS Starf correspondent
Vatican City, Feb. 27.-UP)-
Myron c. Taylor, President Roose-

presented Pope Plus with a personal
letter from the President today dur
ing an audience of 40 minutes in
the small throne room Of The Vati-
can.
Taylor went to the Vatican to
present his credentials, but he took
also the letter, as Sumner WelleS
sent to Europe to investigate and
report on the war and prospects for
peace, had presented secret presi-
Dental letter to Premier Benito
Mussolini.
Pope Plus, talking privately with
Taylor asked him to convey &c
the President and the American
people his greetings.
The ceremony with which Taylor
was received, though prescribed, was
in marked contrast to that with
which Welles was received by Mus

And in marked contrast to the
GOODNESS and apparent indifference
with which Welles' visit was treat

HITLER WILL GET
SPECIAL LETTER
Reported That Roosevelt
Has Sent 1t; Little Hope
for Peace
By GEORGE KIDD

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
Berlin, Feb. 81 (UP) - Belief
spread in Berlin today that Sum-
ner Welles, President Roosevelt's
special envoy to Europe, is bring
ing Adolf Hitler a personal letter
from the president and that he
will visit Berlin second time
after he has visited Paris and Lon
don.
The American embassy said to-
day that, though Welles leaves
Rome at midnight tonight, he was
not expected to arrive here until
Friday. 1t was believed that his stay
would be brief.
(Welles announced at Rome to-
day that he expected to see Prem
Ter Benito Mussolini a second time
after he visited Berlin, Paris and
London. This would mean that
after seeing the allied premiers he
would again see Hitler, on the
basis of the Berlin dispatch, and
then see Mussolini, leader of the
sole neutral among the great
European powers and Hitler's
"axis" partner. BY that time also

velt,s new special representative at
the Vatican, would have been in

RECORD MADE IN.
TAX COLLECTION
Old Age Assistance Taxes
Pouring In-$3O,O00
More Than Year Ago

A record for the collection Of old
age assistance taxes will be set this
year, it is indicated by figures COM
piled by Tax Collector Humbert Man.
gini. Total collections, inclusive Of
yesterday, amount to $4,000. The
figure on Feb. ~ a year ago was
$1,000.
If payments continue to come in
steadily before the deadline Friday
night, total collection may come
within striking distance of the $685.
800 assessment which the city must
pay the state. During the last three
days last year, collections amounted
to about $4,000. Total collections
as of March / a year ago were
$96,685.
The response since Feb. IS re-
garded as highly satisfactory, COLI
lections having been much heavier
than usual, particularly during the
past week. Yesterdays receipts
were approximately $1,000.
Pay Penalty After Friday
After Friday, those billed for the
old age tax must pay a penalty Of
81 in addition to the So tax. The
tax office In the City Hall will be
oren Wednesday, Thursday and FRI
day evenings from 2 to 8 O'clock,
in addition to the regularN Office
hours of 8 a. m. to 5 p. m.
The large gain recorded over q
year ago has made officials optimis-
tic about the total payments re-
ceived by the close Of business
March /. Delinquent payments
made after the LIST will boost the
total substantially.
This year approximately $1,000
persons were billed by the city for
the old age tax. Total collections
could amount to about $4,000, but
many of the bills could not be de-
nvered, postmen being unable to To-
cate the addresses.
In past years the city has failed
to reach the quota which 1t must
pay the state, and deficits in the
old age account have been listed.
