Long Lines Continue
To Jam Income Tax
Collectors S Office

Five hundred income tax payers
were standing in line this morning
to make their returns when the
collector of internal revenue office
at Twelfth street and Constitution
avenue NV. opened for business.
However, by noon the crowd had
thinned out to only 100 persons.
The fact that many persons have
mailed in the W. form, the with
holding tax receipt, as their tax re-
turn, has kept down the crowds at
the collectors Office. A. Parks
Rasin, administrative assistant to
the Washington division, said tax
payers assisted Monday and Tues
day totaled 1927, or about so per
cent Of the number calling at the
ofice on the comparable days of
last year.
One problem which means more
work for the local Office arises from
the fact that people from all over
the country mail returns to the
collector OF internal revenue in
Washington, or even to the Treas
ury, instead of sending the returns
to the collectors Office Of their own
district.
Mr.. Rasin stressed that residents
OF this area in mailing their tax
returns. If they live in the District
or in Maryland, should address them
to the collector Of internal reevnue
at Baltimore, while If they live in
Virginia, returns should be mailed
to the collectors ofiice at Richmond
The collectors office here will re-
main open until midnight tomorrow

Montgomery Plans
Uniform Ordinance
For Nursing Homes

In move to provide uniform
ordinance for the regulation of nurs-
ing homes in Montgomery County,
the county commissioners yesterday
instructed Joseph A. Cantrel, attor-
ney to the board, to draft such a
measure in according with recon-
mendations by the Welfare Board.
In letter to the commissioners,
Mrs. Dorothy Kurtz, executive sec
retary of the Welfare Board, recon-
mended that a S. annual license fee
be charged for each person in homes
caring for fewer than five patients.
Sanatoria and other establish
ments caring for more than five
persons should pay a fee of $40
person with maximum charge of
$100, it was proposed. There are %
licensed homes for the aged in the

is excessive for smaller establish
ments.

IN the county at an annual salary of
$2,700. Part of DR.. Gibbs salary will
be paid by the Sanitary Service with

tional incubator by the Health De-
partment at cost not to exceed
$500 also was authorized.

county civilian defense di-
rector, said the clerks were no longer
necessary. The two clerks were in
cnarge OF issuing emergency coal
certificates.

sessments, reported that re-assess-
ments of property in eight election

300 Sunken Ships
Block Manila Port
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MANILA, Mar. A.-One Of the
Navy's foremost salvage experts
said today that the tonnage of
sunken ships in Manila's wrecked
and clogged harbor is far greater
than in any other port in the war
and the clearing will present a
stupendous problem.
Commodore William A. Sullivan
Of New York, who came from SAL
wage operations in European ports
to direct the opening of Manila's
harbor to shipping, estimated at a
press conference that more than
300 ships were sunk here.
Commodore Sullivan was the
officer who started the salvage job
on the liner Normandie. He esti-
mated that the sunken tonnage of
Manila's harbor is three times that
of Cherbourg's and the task of
clearing it might be three times as
hard.
He said he could not hazard a
guess on the time required for the
gigantic task, but he experts within
a few days to raise one of the six
ships the japanese sank to blockade
the main harbor channel through
the breakwater. Its removal will
allow the first ships to thread their
way into the harbor through the
sunken hulks.

Finance Committee chairman, de-
clared at meeting yesterday of the
