Gov. Tuck Suspends
~ Levy on Trucks
From Other States
BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, April 6-The
p per cent gross receipts tax on
out-of-State trucking operators was
suspended today by Gov. Tuck, act
ing on the two-to-one recommends
ton of the State Reciprocity Board.
However, sharply worded opin-
ion of the dissenting board member,
Judge Harvey S. Apperson of the
State Corporation Commission, con-
tended that lit is elementary that
in the General Assembly and not in
the Governor or the Reciprocity
Board, Is vested the decision Of
policy as to the imposition of, or re-
lief from taxation"
The boards authority to suspend
collection of the tax was challenged
at hearing here yesterday by
spokesman for Virginia railroads
who cited the action of the recent
General Assembly which set March
IS, 1947. as a definite date for repeal
of the tax.
Accepted Majority View.
In ordering the suspension of COL
lectionS, Gov. Tuck said he was abid-
ing by the boards majority recon-
mendation. He instructed State
Motor Vehicle Commissioner C. F..
Joyner to notify reciprocity boards
in other States of the Virginia decis-
ion.
The two members who voted ave
on the motion to suspend were Mr..
Joyner and James A. Anderson,
State Highway Commissioner. They
did not file majority opinion with
their finding.
Suspended during the war, the tax
was reimposed on the first of this
year, but a statute enacted on Gov.
Tuck's recommendation by the 1916
Assembly provided for its expiration
on March IS, next year. It was esti-
mated that the State would collect
between $3.50, 900 and $3.50, 900 from
the 2 per cent levy from January /,
l945, to the expiration date next
year.
Truck Owners Opposed Law.
At the hearing here, the Virginia
Highway Users Association and Vir-
ginia truck line operators supported
suspension of the tax, contending
that some out of State lines operated
from so to 80 per cent of their total
mileage in Virginia. Their view was

Fliers'Capture May Be Imagination
(By JOHN RODERIcK)

SICHANG, Oct. IA. tP - A ,nournful procession of sedan chairs bearing the white sheeted c0rpses of all 3l persons who died n the crash of a Chinese National Aviation corp. transport plane Oct. 8 made its way down steep Lochi mountain to the village of dsichia today.
 Rumors which emanated from ;h;s West China territory occupied oy barbarous Lolo tribesmen had given vivid descriptions of sur vivors fighting a gun battle with Lolos before being captured.
 The fact that all aboard evident ly died outright when the craft smashed into the side of the 14,000 foot mountain pointed up the un- reliability of stories spread in this fantastic country.
 It was another indication that reports of the capture and en- slavment two years ago of five or so American B-29 pilots might also be a figment of Lolo or Chi neSe imagination.
 A search party, nevertheless, is searching Lololand for a trace of

 The blonde in question IS new conner Lizabeth Scott, tawny, hazel-eyed star, one of Holly woods newest sensations, who finds that keeping the threesome of fliers in tow is full-time job, especially after she begins fall- ing in love with one of them
 Robert Cummings, after two years in the Army Air Force, re- turns to the screen as Bob, the { flier who finds himself in a de- eeption that his pals must help him cut in.

 And Charles Drake, another newcomer, is Handsome, who used to be a prize fighter.
 These are the four who find their lives inextricably involved in the story of spirited high ilnks and slap-happy horseplay that hides beneath it the poignant drama of the wrong two people falling in love.
 The stars are supported by Julie Bishop, Kim Hunter and singer Helen Forrest.
