Ramifications of the immense tax increases which will be made start ing tomorrow were explained to the staff of the local internal revenue office and to reporters by Gabriel Price, senior zone collector at the office, this morning. MT. Price yes- terday attended a conference at the Hartford revenue office, together with collectors from IT other zones throughout the state.
 The increases effective October first may be broken down into re- tailers' excise taxes, floor stock taxes, and admission and amuse- ment taxes, according to MT. Price.
 Retailers Tax
 The retailers tax, which affects principally such items as jewelry, furs, and toilet preparations, amounts to Q flat 10 per cent on all sales. Inasmuch as this new tax rate begins tomorrow, the local office was besieged today by persons who wanted to know whether they could make purchases today under the old tax rate, and not collect them for e week or ten days. Others wanted to know whether purchasing on a regular charge account today would consti- ute @ sale, or whether they would have to pay in cash.
 MT. Price explained that in the opinion of his office, the following conditions must be met previous to tomorrow in order for 8 sale to be i considered non-taxable under the new provisions: Q conditional bill of sale must have been drawn up, delivery must have been made, and at least part of the payment for the goods must have been made. Other wise, the transaction will not be considered complete by October l, and will be subject to tax.
 According to MT. Price, sales which are made on a bona fide charge account-that Is, on charge account which the customer has made use of on several previous oc- casions will also be considered non taxable. Persons will not, how ever, be able to charge goods nov unless they have previously availed themselves of the privilege.
 Floor Stock Taxes
 The floor stock taxes which 90 into effect tomorrow will affect princi- pally liquors, wines, and tires and tubes which dealers have on stock tomorrow. These taxes will affect all places of business which offer the commodities for sale the liquor taxes, for example, will affect res- taurants and night clubs as well as package stores.
 Although based on stock on hand october i, the taxes on tires and tubes will not be payable until Oc- tober 3l, and those on liquor not till January, 1922.
 MT. Price said today 1t Is the opir- ion of the local revenue office that the taxes on tires and tubes will not apply to those on new cars, and that purchases made now on bona flde charge account will not be sub- ject to the new tax.
 Another far-reaching aspect of the new tax program Is that there will no longer be exemptions from ad- mission taxes, which were previously given to religious, charitable, or educational benefits, to agricultural fairs, and to affairs sponsored by veterans organizations. There will henceforth be no exemptions from admission taxes, except in the case of children under 12 who pay less than ten cents admission, and mem- bers of the serivce and eco boys

 Ship Loss Figures
 First Lord of the Admiralty A. V. Alexander gave commons the fol- lowing figures on ship losses, which are now at the lowest of any period since the war started:
 April = 5s9,270 tons; May--497, SAT tons; June-32o ,2oe tons; or a total of 1,41e,4l3 tons in three months. This would be 8 monthly average of 472,l38 tons lost. Since then, Alex ander said, the losses had been cut to one-third, which would be 157,- 370 tons, or the lowest three- e-months period of the war.
 That was below the average of all but two months of past warfare. Tn March l940, only 97,604 tons were lost and in April of the same year only 1S6,S72 tons were lost.
 Churchill told the house that Bri- tain must consider the interests of Russia and the wish and action of the United States" in making any announcements or explanations or forecasts and that therefore he must speak cautiously.
 Food Reserves High
 The prime minister assured Bri- tons that their food reserves were the highest of any time since the war started, while Alexander point ed out that a British convoy had just been rushed through the Med- iterranean without sighting the Italian navy, although Fascist aer- ial attack damaged the Battleship Nelson, destroyed one motor ship and three British planes. The Ital- ians lost 13 planes.
 Britons were left in the dark as to how Britain might counter-attack against Germany. There was no mention of the probability that the British Imperial Forces in the Near East will move into the Caucasus if necessary to aid the Red army de- fense of the Russian oil fields or of the prospect for British offensive in North Africa.

Escaped Prison
 Turner escaped from the Little Alcatraz" prison camp at Dallas, Ga, where he was serving 78 years for robbery and other escapes, with Sim Scarborough, fl, @ murderer, who was serving life, on Aug. 12.
 Tampa, Fla, police notified local authorities that they had been traced, by a chain of bank and fill- ing station robberies, into northern Tennessee, near the Kentucky bor- der.
 Miss Miley was slain and her mother, Mrs. Fred Miley, was critt- cally wounded early Sunday morn ing by two masked men who broke into their apartment in the club house. The guests of a Saturday night dance had gone home only a short while before. Mrs, Miley said, before she entered a coma from which she has not yet revived, that the men demanded the receipts. Police believed that Turner and his companion may have attended the dance, hidden in the clubhouse un- til the other guests had departed and then robbed the women. Mrs Miley is manager of the club.
 Recognized Men
 Fred Miley, golf professional, Miss Miley's father, expressed the belief that she had been killed because she recognized the men. Lexington is a small town and she probably knew most of the men and women of her own age who grew up with her.
 Police said they had questioned residents and would continue to do so, to find out If Turner was known in the city or If he had a cousin here. Night Police Chief Dudley Me-

Cloy said he would ask the girls father today if he knew Turner or knew whether his daughter had known him.
 Meanwhile, Mrs. Miley remained in a grave condition at St. Joseph's hospital. She had received five blood transfusions, but physicians gave her only the slightest chance of re- covering from three bullet wounds in the abdomen.
 Heavy Reward
 Hardness Edwards, prominent Lexington horse breeder, offered @ $500 reward for apprehension of the slayerS, raising the total to $3,500. The club, whose membership in- cludes the best names of this aris- tocratic bluegrass country, the state of Kentucky, and others had contributed to the reward.
 Bloody finger prints were found In the Miley apartment and these were being sent to Georgia prison authorities for comparison with the prints of Turner and Scarborough.
 Authorities were not satisfied that robbery was the only motive or the killers Though 1t was believed the receipts of the dance-approXimate- ly siA5 had been taken-$75 in the closet in Mrs. Miley's bedroom and S6O in A desk in the clubhouse of- flce-were left behind.

INDEPENDENTS IN
 ACCORD WITH COP
Several Candidates of Mutual Interest May Be
 Agreed Upon Shortly

Republican and Independent Democratic leaders were today re- ported near agreement on their election plans. Unless late hitch develops the Independents will en- dorse many Republican candidates though offering candidates of their own for several posts.
 The Independent Democratic nominee for mayor will in all prob ability be Frank J. Wall, candidate for registrar of voters in 1887. The party will also name Its own can- didate for registrar of voters, prob- ably James Watts.
 The Independents are seeking to have the Republicans give them the nomination for city clerk, city sher- if, or both, and also to give them one candidate each for the board of aldermen and board of education. Mentioned as possible candidates for the Republicans to endorse for city clerk or city sheriff are John Bowler, Jerry Mccormack and JoS- eph DeLuca. William ripper" Con- ley, who has declined to run for city clerk, is a likely nominee for the board of aldermen.
 This setup would give the c. o. P. and the Independents the same candidates for all places on the ticket except mayor and registrar of voters.
 Republican primary lists must be filed at 5 ?. m. tomorrow, but the opponents of the organization are without a candidate as a result of the withdrawal of Harold Hadley, their choice for registrar of voters

RADICAL CHANGES EXPECTED SHORTLY
New Restrictions on GasO. line Deliveries Looming !;
 Letter Received

Radical Changes" will be made soon in government regulations re- stricting gasoline deliveries, John w. Frey, director of the Division of Marketing, today notified George F. Gaughan, of this city, secretary of the Eastern Seaboard Conference of Gasoline Retailers. Though not disclosing the nature of the changes, MT. Frey said he believed they would prove most satisfactory" to retailers.
 MT. Frey wrote in answer to letter from MT. Gaughan, in which the local man had enclosed copies of resolutions passed by the con- ference at recent meeting at Phil- adelphia. He said that the reSolu. tionS had been turned over to Sec- retary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes, and would be called to the attention of President Roosevelt.
 The federal officials disclosure of proposed changes in the present re. Strictions will be brought before the executive board of the conference by MT. Gaughan at a meeting in New York Thursday.
 Up to the movement, dealers are still uncertain as to what their quotas for October will be, though next months deliveries begin to- morrow.
 Retailers do not seem alarmed at the situation, in marked contrast to their attitude of just a short time ago. The change in feeling is the result of a new marketing plan which wholesalers have ef- fected, whereby gas is made avail able when supplies run low. The extra shipments are made up for by declining to make deliveries to sta- tions which have sufficient supplies

Mount Vernon
Road Speed Limit
To Be Abolished

To aid in relieving traffic conges-
ton in nearby Virginia, the arbitrary
speed limit on Mount Vernon Me-
mortal Highway from Key Bridge tc
Mount Vernon. with the exception OF
stretches at the Washington Ma
tional Airport and in Alexandria, is
soon to be abolished, it was learned
today.
The new policy will be announced
as soon as legal details have been
compiled with. and is similar to that
placed in effect in Rock Creek Park
and the East and West Potomac
Parkways last October.
Under the new regulations, the
criterion for park police, who have
principal jurisdiction over the high
way, will be careful driving rather
than rate of speed. Secretary of
Interior IckeS is known to place
little faith in arbitrary speed limits
and prefers enforcement of regula-
tionS based on reckless driving
charges. ----.---
Removal of the former speed linn
its by park police will not affect the
Virginia speed limit of SIS miles an
hour with no excuses" but State
police do not usually patrol the Me-
mortal highway, it was pointed out.
Some special regulations will prob
ably be laid down for the airport
section, but they have not. yet been
decided on The speed limits in
Alexandria, of course, will remain
unchanged.
