District Income Tax
Receipts Expected 10
Exceed Last Years
S65,118 in Payments
Made Yesterday as
DeudIine Expires

District officials voiced belief to-
day that this years District income
tax revenues probably would exceed
those of last year, basing their
predictions on the results OF yes
terday's deadline activities for filing
and making payments on individual
and corporate returns.
1t was estimated nearly 5000 per-
sons passed through the assessing
and collecting machinery at the
District Building yesterday. For the
convenience of procrastinating tax
payers the offices remained opened
until midnight.
After a morning of hard work on
tabulating machines weary workers
in the Office of Tax Collector Guy
w. Pearson, reported that payments
made yesterday totaled $65,118. OF
this total, $64 4,274.37 was recorded as
individual income tax payments and
$844.51 for corporation tax pay
ments.
Many Returns by Mail.
In addition to these calculations
the collectors force has yet to open
and 60 through II stuffed mail bags
delivered this morning and bearing
yesterdays postmark which will be
honored as payment on time. A
huge quantity of returns and pay
ments are expected to be found in
these mail sacks.
Collector Pearson said that l94l
income tax payments so far re-
ceived, including the results of yes
terday's and last nights activities,
totaled $779,388. OF this total, $473,-
257 was said to be in personal
income tax payments and $500, ,13l
for corporation payments.
These figures indicated a very
large additional sum of income tax
payments may be found in the
mail bags, or that a very large per-
centage OF persons and corporations
must be paying their bills in semi
annual installments, unless there is
an unexpected amount of delin-
quencies, since last years District
income tax levy totaled S3,258, 900
The levy on individuals was S1,671,-
900 and the levy on corporations
sl,587 900. Assessing off1cials said
about 80 per cent Of this levy had
been collected.
Peak in Late Afternoon.
District officials said only IS re-
turns were made out by the ex-
aminers last night between pm.
and midnight, although a much
larger number of persons called with
their returns made out and needed
only to have them notarized. The

Axis Plunge Spurs Egypt
To Prepare for Raids
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CAIRO, April 16-The axis plunge
across North Africa, placing enemy
bombers again within striking dis
tance of the Nile, has prompted
Egypt's principal cities to speed
AFRAID precautions works.
Cairo will undergo a full black
out and a raid rehearsal on April
10, it was announced yesterday. The
the Italians previously were in eyre
naica, but never was bombed.
The city possibly escaped damage
at that time because Moslem au-
thorities declared it sacred to all
Islam, containing as it does many
of Islam's most important and most
sacred buildings and monuments.
Premier Mussolini at the time was
calling himself the protector of
Islam"
Workmen have labored day and
night to complete 1850 public shell
ters recently ordered by the gov
ernment. The bulk of them are
finished and are believed to be suf-
ficient to protect street crowds at
any time of day. Steps also have
been taken to compel landlords to
build adequate shelters.
Egyptians generally have recov-
cred from the first anxiety caused
by the sudden axis drive across their
border and a feeling of confidence
prevails. Local stock exchanges. an
accurate barometer of public feel
ing, recovered sharply yesterday.

BALTIMORE, April 16.-The
Adams Electric Cooperative, Inc,
of Gettysburg, Pa, renewed today
its fight for permission to erect
lines in Carroll and Frederick
Counties after failing in q move
which would have halted further
construction of lines by the Poto-
mac Edison Co.
The Public Service Commission
yesterday denied the co-operative's
motion asking temporary order
halting all Potomac Edison con-
struction pending conclusion Of the
hearing.
The motion followed testimony
by an official of the Rural Electri-
fication Administration, which
sponsors the Adams Cooperative,
to the effect that Potomac Edison
engaged in a deliberate vicious"
program of line building to kill OF
interest in the co-operative's pro-
gram.
The witness, Carleton L. Nau,
assistant director of the r. e. A.
Division of Applications and Loans,
said he was told by Potomac Edison
Vice President D. e. Stultz that the
firm would use ANY means in its
power" to block the r. E. A. CO.

lines.
ross-examination of the r. z. A.

Albania from the Greeks were re-
ported today by the italian high

Split, on Yugoslavia's Adriatic
coast southeast of cara, was said
to have been taken after an advance
of about 240 miles from the Italian
Yugoslav frontier, the high COM
mand said.
II Lavoro Fascista said the Italians
were advancing "in all directions" in
Albania after the entire right wing
of the Greek front collapsed with
the recapture of Koritza.
Greek rear guards were resisting
strongly, the newspapers cor
respondent reported, but the Italians
regained two mountain chains north
east of Tepeleni.
Along the Adriatic coast south of
Tepeleni the Italians were meeting
more tenacious Greek resistance
than elsewhere, the dispatch said,
apparently because the road is longer
and because large Greek forces are
massed there.
New Islands Occupied.
Naval, army and Blackshirt de-
tachments were credited with ex-
tending italian control over Yugo-
slavia's Dalmatian islands, four Of
which already had been reported
taken.
New islands were reported taken
in the coastal section northwest of
cara.
The war bulletin described nu-
merous aerial offensive actions
against highway works, motorized
columns and troops on the march"

Ioannina, Paramithia and the Greek
Island of Corfu were reported at
tackled.
Ten planes on the ground were

shot down in air fights. Loss of
one Italian divebomber was acknowl-
edged.
Two Steamers Strafed.
Near Corfu" the nigh command
said, "our aircraft machine -gunned
two 3,00o-ton steamers, one of which
was set afire."
German planes attacked Elevsis
Airport in Greece and ships In
Elevsis Bay, causing damage to
installations, hitting a 6,000-ton
steamer and damaging two others
of the same tonnage" it announced.

BERLIN, April 16 LP).-The port
of Belfast was described today as
the main target of German air at

that various industries, feeling in
secure in England, similarly ha'
moved their production centers.

rule strictly enforced for thousand
years that no woman-and not even
female animals-was permitted to
set foot on the mountain, which
dominates a peninsula jutting into
the Aegean Sea. In recent years,
however, the rule has been relaxed

to 1928, but later returned to the
Byzantine fold.
The monasteries, some Of them
huge castle-like buildings covering
several acres and housing hundreds,

connected only by mule trails, or

out living by making trinkets.
One or two monasteries are fairly
prosperous through large-scale
farming. All conduct schools for

ATHENS, April 16.-Greek re-

for the fate of the 1,100-year-ol

German military rule.
