BY the Associated Press.
Industrial saboteurs, trained for
their tasks, present the Nations
firemen their greatest responsibility
in history in guarding national
defense plants, believes E. P. Coffey,
chief of the Federau Bureau of
Investigations technical laboratory.
Fire marshals, completing a four
day session of the 18th annual short
course at the University of Mary
land at College Park yesterday, were
told that such saboteurS who are
specialists in arson are far more
difficult to catch than the ordinary
arsonist. They are trained for their
specific tasks, and they benefit by
widespread organization concen-
trating on such crimes"
In an address and a question
and-answer session, Mr.. Coffey eau
toned:
"At the first suspicion of indus
trial sabotage, a fireman should
notify the F. B. I. Evidence that
may be present Immediately after
the crime may detect the saboteur
delay may mean his escape"
Other speakers at the session de-
voted to specialized classes were A
Bruce Bielaski, arson division CHIEF
of the National Board of Fire Un-
derwriters, and John Meyers, depu-
ty State fire marshal.
Mr.. Meyers reported that State
fire losses, excluding Baltimore City
increased S366,541 in 1910, as COM
pared to the previous year. Fig
ureS for the two years were: 1910
$2,058,657 from 1851 fires; 1889, ST.

Shares Of Credit Unions
Ruled Subject TO Tax
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
BALTIMORE, Sept. 6.-Shares OF
stock of credit unions are subject
to assessment by the Maryland State
Tax Commission under a ruling by
Attorney General William c. Walsh.
The opinion, handed down by Mr..
Walsh yesterday and directed to
Tax Commission Chairman Harry
o. Levin, fatty rejected ruling
by one of Mr.. Walsh's predecessors,
Thomas H. Robinson, attorney gen.
eral during part of the late Gov.
Ritchies administration.
The former attorney generals
opinion was based upon false
assumption and we are compelled
to differ with his conclusion" Mr..
Walsh said, adding that its only
basis was the fact that credit
unions are exempt from all taxa
ton, except as to real estate.
But the exemption of credit
unions from taxation does not ex-
empt the shares of such corpora
tions. This point has been ex-
pressly decided by the Court of Ap-
peals." 8"
