certainly of relief, and furnished
apparent justification for the at

occasions.
In later years, Negroes have
to a large degree sought a differ

by Ira Taylor, a Negro. who was
convicted in the Wilkinson County
Superior Court of violating the
statute. He was sentenced to pay
fine of $35 and costs or do work

Bill 10 Tax Military Land
Draws Official Opposition
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
A precedent-establishing measure
to permit States and local govern
ments to tax land acquired by the
Federal Government for military
purposes after January, 1910, drew
stiff opposition today from the War,
Navy and Treasury Departments.
In statements submitted to the
House Committee on Public Lands,
the three departments contended
the measure, already passed by the
Senate, would make the war pro-
gram more complicated and more
expensive" in addition to setting an
undesirable precedent"
Secretary of War Stimson and
Navy Secretary Knox both wrote
that, in most instances, installation
OF war facilities had more than off,
set tax losses to the communities by
bringing in new sources of revenue.
Secretary Knox declared the local
taxation on war installations would
benefit only a comparatively few
communities, although the installa-
tions are set up to protect the coun-
try as a whole and their expense is
borne by the country as a whole.
Secretary Stimson said in his let
ter that the Presidents Real Estate
Board now is studying the problem
of reimbursement of communities
which have not been benefited by
the facilities. and that an overall,
uniform policy soon would be estab-
| lished.

S16,713,400 Saving Seen
In Security Tax Amendment

Senator Vandenberg. Republican.
of Michigan. estimated today that
his amendment to the new tax bill
before the Senate to freeze social
security taxes at per cent would
save employees and employers in
Maryland and the District total Of
s16,713,400 in social security taxes
This figure, from the Internal Rev.
enue collection district. includes
both Maryland and the District. and
there was no breakdown available
to show the District figure.
For the country as a whole the
Senator figures there would be a
saving Of 1895, 756 900 in additional
taxes.
Under terms of the Social Sc
curity Act, the present l per cent
payroll tax on employers and en-
ployes would be increased to 2 per
cent in l943. The Vandenberg
amendment would prevent this au-
tomato increase.
The State of Virginia, the SEN
ator estimated, would save $10,-
355 800 through operation of his

had been assured that there would

all possible measures were being
effected to minimize shortage for

Replying to communication
from the Senator which contained
a copy of Senator Lodges bill to
establish national petroleum ad-
ministration, the President wrote:
Il share your view that govern
mental control and direction of the
problem of petroleum supply should
be centralized in single agency.
An intensive study has been under
way for some time to determine the
type of organization best suited to
accomplish this objective and so
designed as to fit into the overall
pattern of organiza ton of the war
agencies. A decision on this matter
may be expected within the near
future"
The President added that he did
not think new legislation in this
field was necessary at this time
because statutory powers already
exist to create, by executive order.
an agency with adequate power and
responsibility to deal with the oil
problem.
Steps have already been taken
to ration fuel oil in the States on
the Atlantic seaboard and in the
Midwest, the letter said, "in order
to distribute the available supplies
equltably among all affected. At
f1rmative action has also been taken
to increase the production of fuel
oll-and the ability of our transpor-
