Avert Truck Tax War

A last-minute effort to avert a
tax war between the District and
Virginia over the States plan to
tax Virginia earnings of District
owned common and contract car
riers will be made by the Commits
sioners at conference here Thurs
day.
The Virginia plan becomes effec-
tive today, and the District had
scheduled a counter measure orig
inally due to become effective to-
morrow
Engineer Commissioner Gordon
R. Young said last night, however,
that the District would withhold
action until after the conference,
which was arranged by telephone
to Gov. Colgate w. Darden by
Commissioner Guy Mason. The
commissioner of revenue will rep
resent Virginia in the talks with
the city heads.
Retaliatory Tax Planned.
Under the District plan of retalia-
ton Virginia trucks would be conf
PEELED to undergo motor vehicle
inspection and be titled and regis
tered here if they operate in or
through the District jurisdiction
Personal property taxes also would
be assessed against the owners, and
the drivers would be compelled to
pass District driver tests.
The controversy arose about two
months ago when Gov. Darden noti-
fed Traffic Director William A. Var
Duzer of his decision to modify q
mutual wartime agreement be.
tween the two jurisdictions over the
operations OF trucks Specifically
the modification was to result ir
extension of per cent tax to the
gross earning in Virginia of District
owned carriers, he said.
Postponed by Virginia.
Mr.. Van Duzer replied that thu
District would have to retaliate il
this action were taken. This reply
was later backed up by the Com.
missioners last month. Gov. Darder
at first made the change effective
December Is but later notified Mr.
Van Duzer it would be today.
Also due to sit in on the confer.
ence will be Mr.. Van Duzer, Assist.

Car Insurance Rush
Expected in Maryland
AS Result Of New Law
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Jan. 1-Marylands
insurance commissioner predicted
today that the States new safety
responsibility law, which went into
effect at midnight, will roughly
double the number of automobile
policies in the State.
The prediction. Commissioner
Lawrence E. Ensor explained, is
based on the experience of other
States with similar legislation.
Although the new law does not
make insurance compulsory, the
commissioner said, driving without
insurance is made highly danger
Gus"
The new legislation requires mo-
florists involved in accidents to post
security to cover any judgments
that may arise out of the accidents,
unless they can present evidence
of insurance.
Risk Pool Formed.
While insurance companies mobil-
ICED their forces to handle the ex-
pected rush for new policies, Mr..
Ensor announced the formation of
a voluntary assigned risk pool by
which motorists not normally con-
sidered good risks may be covered
At the request of Joseph F. Matt
hais of the insurance commission,
Mr.. Ensor said, assurances were re-
ceived from all 116 of the companies
writing automobile policies in the
State that they would cooperate
in the plan.
Every carrier in the State has
voluntarily pledged that he will write
automobile insurance regardless of
race of color" he continued. ut
is my hope that this plan will enable
every driver entitled to insurance to
get it. Without the pool, many
people might be unjustly kept off
the roads because they are con-
sidered poor insurance risks"
Plan Explained.
Under the plan any applicant who
has been refused policy by three
companies may apply to Howard F
johnson, manager of the pool
Mr.. Johnson will then designate
an insurer to whom the risk will be
assigned for 12-month period, Nc
carrier, however, will be required tc
write policy higher than the
standard $4,000 personal liability
and $1,000 property damage.
Residents of Maryland will be in.
Guided in the plan when they have
automobiles registered in the State
The pool is to be administered b,
the manager and governing com.
mittee, consisting of representative.
of the following companies: United
States Fidelity & Guaranty Co., thu
American Automobile Insurance Co.

One National Guard Air Unit
Envisaged for Virginia
BY the Associated Press.


RICHMOND, Va, Jan. Add
jutant General S. Gardner Waller
said yesterday Virginia probably
would have only one air unit in the
postwar National Guard because of
the costly upkeep of such units.
The National Defense Bill before
Congress provides that each State
will have at least one unit. Gen.
Waller said the costs would be high
because personnel would be on duty
all the time, mechanics and other
technical personnel would have to
be secured, and the unit would re-
quire more equipment than infantry
and other divisions.
Information from Washington in
dicates first priority will be given
divisions and air units. The initial
objective for divisions will not be
less than % with an approximate
strength of $4,000 officers and men,
of which Virginia will be entitled
to approximately 10000.

ADMIRAL HINTS RUSSIA F0MENTS
 WORLD DISCORD
Carney Says Unnamed Na- lion 0bsirulting All
 We Hold Dear

| WASHINGTON, May 31. - Ad- l miral William Halsey's former Chief
 of Staff has told a Memorial Day
 audience that Americas struggle for ! world peace is being obstructed by another great nation. The speaker,
 Rear Admiral Robert B. Carney. Assistant Chief of Naval Operations for Material, addressed the Fleet Reserve Association in Washington.
 Admiral Carney did not name the
 nation which he said is blocking | American peace efforts. He describ- ed it as country whose very con- cept of government is based-and we quote on fomenting disorder and disunity.
 Declared the Admiral: "A great and determined and driving force, opposed to virtually every belief and ideal that we hold dear, is aware of it's power and opposing our weakness at every turn"
 Carney said our rush to demobil- ize has lowered American prestige in the eyes of others has stripped this country of the only prestige which would have lent authority to it's councils and principles.
 The Assistant Naval Operations Chief emphasized that he spoke not as professional military man but as private citizen.
 And as citizen, Carney added, I'm not optimistic.p
