Club Asks State 10 Abolish
Property Tax on Autos

Endorsement Of a recommends
ton by the Special Commission on
Revision Of the State Motor Vehicle
Laws to abolish Maryland's per-
sonal property tax on automobiles
is expressed In letter sent today
to Gov. O'Conor by the Keystone
Automobile Club.
At the same time, the club praised
the commissions report and ex-
pressed the hope that 1t may re-
ceive Gov. O'Conor's approval.
While admitting that a loss in
revenue may be caused by approval
Of the commissions recommends
ton, Mr.. Keneipp asserted that ut
is likely that In another two or
three years, under the present law,
administrative costs would probably
exceed the tax yield" since the
autos are depreciating in tax value.
Another unfair feature Of the
property tax. Mr.. Keneipp said, is
the fact that cars taken out Of use
due to present conditions will be
still subject to the tax.
ut would appear more fair" he
declared, ito base motor vehicle
taxes on registration rather than
on ownership"

Bus and Sfreetcar
Loops Suggested for
Barney Circle
HiIIcrest Association
Indorses Figure g
PIun for Rush Hours

A system of interlapping loops for
buses and streetcars at Barney
Circle was proposed last night to the
Hilcrest Citizens Association, which
indorsed the plan as the solution to
the present traffic tie-up.
James H. Reed, chairman of the
Public Utilities Committee Of the
association, reported that at an in
formal meeting. where the plan was
devised, an ODT official said the
proposal was feasible.
Under the change, streetcars trav-
cling east on Pennsylvania avenue
would unload before turning the
loop and load on the opposite side
Of the avenue. Buses travelling west
would cross the avenue at Seven
teenth street, cross back at Fif-
teenth street and then recross at
Seventeenth street, unloading on
the south side and loading on the
north side. The idea Is offered for
peak hours only, as the present sys-
TEN is satisfactory during normal
travel.
Besides the Barney Circle change,
motions, were made that the discon-
tinued Bureau of Engraving bus be
re-established and that the number
Of x buses travelling from Barney
Circle to the new armory and tempo
rary Government buildings be in
creased.
Civilian defense courses in fire
fighting are being offered by the as
sociation today and Thursday and
Monday and Wednesday Of next
week. Glasses on bombs and gases
are to be held on Tuesdays and
Thursdays, beginning January 10.
Starting February 2, Red Gross
classes will be held on Tuesdays and
Thursdays. All classes viii begin at
8 pm. and will be held at the East
Washington Heights Baptist Church,

African Political Climax
Near, Commentator Says
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Jan. French
political developments in North
Africa appear to be reaching a
climax, and "in a few days you may
hear that heads have fallen and new
men stepped into positions OF au-
thority," Charles Collingwood, CHS
correspondent, reported last night in
. broadcast from Algiers.
Mr.. Collingwood said the struggle
for political control was between the
"men of Vichy," the royalists who
would like to see a king of France
again" and the Fighting French of
Gen. Charles De Gaulle
He reported North Africa has been
Swept by intense political agitation"
since Admiral Jean Darlan's assassi-
nation, and "those who had him
killed did so far a reason, and that
reason is tied up with the struggle
for power that is going on now"
Recent arrests of men identified
with the Allied cause we're not the
cause but "only symptoms" of the
political crisis which has gone on,
become more acute, and now shows
signs of being brought out into the
open."

Lands Urges Draft Boards
To Defer Firemen
BY the Associated Press

Ds the ASSotIdtSQ FfeSE.
BALTIMORE, June 26.-Nationsl
Civilian Defense Director James M
Lands believes firemen should re-
ceive Selective Service consideration
similar to that given physicians.
In a speech at the Eastern ASso-
citation of Fire Chiefs in Baltimore
yesterday. Mr.. Lands said the draft
seriously had depleted fire-fighting
stats and that replacing these men
was difficult.
He asserted the problem has
reached proportions which involve
a real threat" to public safety in
some critical war zones in this coun-
try.
In critical areas where fire haz-
ards to war industries have in
creased abnormally, where man
power shortages are acute, firemen
have an essential significance.
The fireman's place is compar-
able to that of doctors and should
deserve much the same sort OF
treatment from local draft boards. -
Mr.. Lands asserted.
When physician is called by his
draft board, selective service reau-
lstions provide that committee of
civilian doctors determine whether
he is essential to his community.

Stock Prices Uneven;
Pace Slows After
Early Upfurn
Scattered Foyorites
At New lo43 Peaks
In Opening Trading
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
A Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, June 26.-A little
profit taking on the four session re-
covery push stalled number OF
stocks in today's market but many
leaders held their ground without
great deal of difficulty.
The advance was extended by
fractions at the opening, with scat
tered favorites registering peaks for
the year or longer in relatively
lively transactions. Customers then
began to cash in here and there
in preparation for the week end
and the pace slowed appreciably.
Trends near the close were no worse
than moderately mixed. Transfers
were around 100000 shares.
Wall Streets principal discussion
centered on the quick congressional
overriding of the anti-strike bill
veto. This development. brokers
said, was highly cheering to financial
sentiment, although it was question:
able whether market operations were
affected to any appreciable extent.
Persistently optimistic war news
again was cited as the main pur-
chasing inspiration and securities of
companies with brighter peacetime
prospects still seemed most popular.
Reinvestment demand, based partly
on inf1ationary hedging, once more
provided bolstering influence.
Some hesitancy was attributed TO
the thought that. despite the move
of the national lawmakers to prevent
work-stoppage in important arma-
ment production lines, the labor
situation was far from clear.
Among shares edging into the
new high" class were WHY'S Over
land, Sears Roebuck and Interna-
tional Harvester.
Bonds were steady.

ham Lincoln was completed here
today and made ready for shipment

Executed bv Sculptor Frederick c.
Hlbbard of Chicago, the monument

cuted of a President and his wife
and the first of Mary Todd Lincoln

been selected as the site for the
monument because history records
that Mary Todd Lincoln spent manv
afternoons in the park while spend
ing summer in Racine with her
son, Tad, after the assassina ton of
President Lincoln.
