Political Announcements
FOR ASSOCIATE JUDGE

| will be a candidate to succeed my
self as Associate Judge of the Fourth
Judicial Circuit of Maryland. Having
presided over the Circuit Court for
Washington county for more than one
year and half, have served through
five regular jury terms and two non
jury terms of that Court, in addition
to sitting, upon occasions, with Chief
Judge Sloan and Associate Judge
Hustler in the Circuit Courts for Allie
gany and Garrett counties, and | be-
lieve that the experience which have
gained qualities me to continue my
services on the Bench.
Since assuming my judicial duties
| have been ever mindful of the high
standard of service set by my prede-
cessor in office, the late Judge Frank
G. Wagaman, and | have endeavored
to faithfully, conscientiously, and to
the best of my ability administer the
duties of the high office which | am
privileged to hold.
l have been told that my services
have been satisfactory to the mem
bers of the Bars of Washington, Al
legany and Garrett counties, and |
hope also to the citizens generally of
those counties which comprise the
Fourth Judicial Circuit
Our American form of Government
intends that the Judiciary shall be
department separate and apart from
the Legislative and Executive
branches, and as such shall be en-
gagged in the impartial and equal adj
ministration of justice to all citizens.
| have believed in those ideals and
have always conscientiously tried to
follow them.
If you feel that l am qualified by
reason of experience, training, tenn
permanent and ability to continue to
occupy the position | now hold, your
support and influence will be greatly
appreciated.

TAX REFUNDS ARE
MADE TO SEVERAL
Mrs. Sarah Mellon Scarfe
Was Turned Back Sum
Of S68l,356

Washington, Feb. 8 - CU.P0 =
Mrs. Sarah Mellon Scaife, of Pitts
burgh,s wealthy Mellon family, re-
ceived larger federal tax refunds
during the 1941 fiscal year than any
other person-$681, 1864.
This was disclosed today with
publication of a complete list of re-
funds credited by the bureau dur
ing 1871, which also revealed that
Richard K. Mellon, Pittsburgh
banker and brother of Mrs. Scaife,
was close second to his sister on
the list with $670,364.85 refund.
The list also showed that the bur-
eau scrutinizes income tax refunds
down to the last penny. Part OF the
Mellon Sciafe refunds were credited
in the Pennsylvania collection dis
trict, part in the Delaware district.
In the latter case, Mrs. Sciafe was
refunded $147,32103 while her bro
ther received only SAT ,321.02.
The penny difference apparently
was caused by the bureau dividing
a refund between the two giving the
odd penny to the woman.
The Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company, New York, was granted
the largest refund for any corpora
ton for income and miscellaneous
taxes, receiving $1,814, 36499.
George P. Jones, Chicago industry
alist, obtained the largest individual
income tax refund, $3.50, 957.57.

fender of the Philippines, was paid

eous tax refunds as executor OF the
