Political Race
Surprisingly Quiet AS
Election Day Looms
Continued from Page u

The Charter Committee recently
put out QUESTIONABLE so adroit-
ly worded that many candidates
were afraid TO answer it. Several
who did send in answers broke
out with explanations or denials
later.
The quiz given more recently by
the League of Women Voters was
pronounced "very fair and COM
prehensive" and was answered by
most of the candidates. Unfortun-
ately the synopsis as prepared by
the League is too long for publ
cation.
The Republicans seem to be
cenaering their fight for control
of the Republican State Central
Committee, with the Zook and
Dawson factions contending. The
campaign of Oliver w. Young
blood, serving his fourth term as
mayor of Takoma Park, is also
creating considerable attention.
One of the three Republicans run
ming for County Commissioner
from the sta District, is picked as
winner. There is also speculation
about who will take Walter John
sons place on the ticket in the
general election should he not be
able to run. Buell. Gardner, pres
ident of Rockville Chamber of
Commerce is one of those men,
toned. Mr.. Johnson, the only Re-
publican member of the Board is
still desperately i'll, and in coma
much of the time.
A quick review of the Demo-
cratic situation finds all candi-
iates with Organization" back
ng confident of victory. The most |
interesting contest is between
Sam Bogley backed by the organ
cation and Robert Dunlop backed
" the independent group for
in the fourth dis
riot. The fact that Dunlop has
he backing of the incumbent,
William H. Prescott, and many of
he firemen of the county, makes
lively contest. One resident
the district says it has gotten
, the point where one is spoken
as "for Sammy or against
ammy."
Blue ribbons appearing on la
els, purses and coiffures

Importers of Alice w. Hostetler

'wned most of the county. He is
against Einar Christen-
sen, who has the Independent
and Charles Prettyman
packed by the organization.
William F. Carlin, who claims
that he will win all of western
save Montgomery Coun-
ty, and give Arch Mcdonald a
stiff fight for it - was promised

Virginia House Passes
luck S Road Tax Bill;
Carrier Levy Repealed
BY Alex R. Preston
Stor StoH Correspondent

RICHMOND, Feb: 27-The House
of Delegates today passed Gov.
Tuck's road tax, program by vote
OF SO to 81 and sent it to the Senate.
An attempt yesterday by Delegate
c. G. Quesenbury, Waynesboro, to
prevent the repeal of the per cent
gross receipts tax on common and
contract carriers was defeated by a
vote of SIS to Al.
Repeal of the gross receipts tax
against Virginia and out-of- State
common and contract truckers, as
well as a proposed increase in the
gasoline tax from 5 cents to cents
per gallon, were the two features
Of the road tax legislation most
strongly criticized by the delegation
from areas close to Washington.
The gross receipts levy was extended
to the carriers in 1912, after a study
by a special commission headed by
former Delegate Charles R. Fenwick,
Arlington. The gasoline tax in
crease met opposition because it
would raise still further the price
differential between the District and
Virginia.
Other features of the bill include
a reduction of private vehicle license
tags by 20 per cent, effective in 1947,
and an increase by so per cent and
$50 per cent in the license fees for
common and contract freight car
riers, which would escape the gross
receipts levy. The measure leaves
unchanged the existing tax structure
with respect to buses.

Pardon Notices to Free II DC.
Veterans With Criminal Past

A dozen Washingtonians with
criminal records who served honor
ably in the armed services for more
than year while on parole from
District prisons will be free men
probably by the first of next week.
Secretary Hugh Rivers of the
Board of Indeterminate Sentence
and Parole said yesterday he is
writing the letters to the veterans
ending their parole periods in con-
formity with the presidential proc
lamation of December "a, 1945.
Only Paperwork Left.
At that time President Truman
granted a full pardon to all per-
sons convicted Of violations of Fed
eral laws, except the laws pertain
ing to the Government of the Army
and Navy, who served not less than
a year in the services after July
%, 1941, and have been honorably
discharged. A month after the
proclamation Corporation Counsel
Vernon E. West ruled it applied to
persons convicted and sentenced in
the District but was not applicable
to those whose service was with the
Merchant Marine.
Mr.. Rivers explained that the men
have already been given their par
don and the only thing standing
between them and freedom Is the
necessary to end their
parole record with the board. Since
the men are in the District. no
names or details were revealed.

Workers Of IS or Over
Advised 10 Pea Benefits

Workers 65 years or older who
benefit by social security provisions
were advised today to peg" their
old-age and survivors insurance
benefits at the social security field
office, 937 F street NV.
Victor Sadd, manager of the Of
flee, pointed out that once benefits
are pegged at the age of IS, they
cannot be lowered, but later may be
lrecalculated for any higher award
the worker may have earned.
Mr.. Sadd said persons who con-
tinue to work after 65 will not draw
benefits as long as they earn more
than $14.99 monthly. These per-
sons should peg" their benefits to
avoid any possible reduction later
since a reduction in total pay or a
considerable loss of time from work
might lower the payments. He sug-
gested all men and women of 65
protected by social security, should
call at the Office for information
covering benefits.

On several occasions the parole
board has recommended legislation
ending the parole of honorably dis
charged veterans with District Grim
inal records, but opposition by the
Justice Department to a general
pardon was said to have barred its
progress. In its annual report for
the past fiscal year the board, headed
by Frank Jellef, renewed its appeal
for such a law.
Most Win Awards.
Some 400 inmates of District penal
institutions and PAROLES entered
the armed services during the war
period, 1t was said, OF which only
six got into trouble with military
authorities. They served in all thea
tiers of combat.
One 23-year-old entered the Air
Corps as a private, won the Air
Medal with 20 Oak Leaf Clusters and
the Silver Star end was discharged
a lieutenant. He is one of the IL
receiving final papers within the
next few days. Most of the rest
have combat infantry awards and
decorations.
Mr.. Rivers is himself a veteran
of the Navy where he was a lieu
tenant commander.
Perfectly wonderful" commented
Mr.. Jelleff on the freeing of the
veterans. Its the least we could
do for them"

U.S.. Workers Oppose
Removal Of Streetcar
Stops on 14th Street

Commerce and Labor Department
employees today appeared before the
Public Utilities Commission and op-
posed removal of the streetcar stops
on Fourteenth street between
street and Constitution avenue NV
They were joined by the Capita
Transit Co. in opposing the Traffic
Department, which is seeking tc
have the stops removed because OF
several traffic fatalities in the vicini.
ty in 1945. Gerald Ryan, Commerce
Department official, who said he was
unoficially representing Secretary
Wallace, contended elimination OF
the stops would open up a quarter
mile speedway for automobiles and
streetcars which would be a much
greater hazard than the existing
streetcar stops.
Further, he added, the stops had
mot one iota" to do with the acci-
dents in the vicinity. He contendec
most of the accidents were collisions
caused by automobiles coming out of
the parking lot across the street
from the Commerce Department. He
said 1000 passengers a day use the
platforms in the area.
j. c. Watts, a Labor Department
official, registered his opposition to
the proposal and Dean Locke, Cap
ital Transit Co. engineer, said that
all things considered, his company
favored retaining the platforms as
a matter of public convenience. He
admitted this was a reversal of pre-
yious opinion.
Assistant Traffic Director M. O.
Eldridge said removal of the stops
would be wise in view of the acci-
dents of last year and that the ad-
dltional walk necessary for Govern
ment workers would not be excessive
in view of the hazards"
Police Inspector Arthur Miller said
he was inclined to agree with op-
ponents of removal that the load
ing platforms constitute an island
OF refuge for pedestrians crossing
Fourteenth street.

District Doubts II Can Meet
Army's Call for 500 in ApriI

The District has been asked to
supply approximately 600 men to
the Army in April, doubling the
calls of recent months.
District draft officials expressed
some doubt that the increased cali
could be met. The District has
been running slightly below its
monthly quota of 300 men, but, ii
was pointed out, lowering of Army
physical standards will make about
200 more men available for induc-
ton here.
Also counted on to help fill the
call are registrants who enlist be-
fore they can be drafted. They are
credited to the Districts quota.
The doubled call is in line with
the Army's announced intention to
induct 125,000 men in April-an in
crease of more than $4,000 over
monthly inductionS since vi day
