BY the Associated Press.

GALWAY, Fire, Feb. 4.-The 200
independent inhabitants OF the
islands of Turn and Turbot, who
have declared themselves an un-
taxable republic, have beaten the
tax collectors again.
In a dawn motor boat raid Or
dered by the Galway Council to col
lect f12,000 ($48,00O) in current
taxes and arrears, bailiffs found the
two islands-lonely outposts in the
Atlantic off the City of Clifden on
Ireland's west coast-deserted.
BY some grapevine telegraph the
citizens learned of the raid. They
pooled all the livestock on the COM
mon, SO there could be no seizure, and
evacuated en- masse the previous
night to visit their relatives" in
Aran. That island lies about Is
miles south of Turbot in Galway
Bay.
The bailiffs returned empty hand
ed. but they were not the first. Gal

40 years to collect rates and land
annuities, claiming the islands are

Banking 6roupRejects
7 Republican Changes
In Housing Measure
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
The House Banking Committee
today rejected Republican pro-
posal to strike from proposed hous-
ing legislation provisions for ex-
'panding home price controls and to
eliminate payment Of subsidies for
production Of building materials.
The action, on l1-to-9 party line
vote, came on an amendment Of.
fered by Representative Wolcott,
Republican, Of Michigan, to a far
reaching housing bill by Represen-
tative Patman, Democrat, Of Texas.
Committee members said the vote
did not necessarily mean that the
housing legislation, when finally
drawn by the committee, would in
clude broadened price and subsidy
provisions. Chairman Spence said
he hoped the committee would be
able to turn out a complete bill
tomorrow.
The committee also rejected an
amendment by Representative Hull,
Progressive, of Wisconsin that would
have banned any export of building
materials.
The Patman bill would extend
price ceilings to cover old as well
as new houses, and set up a broad
subsidy system to encourage build
ing materials production.
Before the committee met, Rep
lresentative Patman said that the
Republican proposal makes a po-
litical issue out of homes for vet
erans"
Representative Wolcott, spokes-
man for the minority group, said
in a statement the substitute plan
was decided on to prevent the pro-
gram from being begged down be-
cause Of controversies in the pricing
and subsidy fields
Representative Patman said "the
Republican proposal weakens my
bill"
He declared he was convinced of
the necessity for both price control
and subsidies and added: II want
private enterprise to do the job, but
if we don't get results there's going
to be tremendous demand that
the Government itself build houses
for veterans"

Two Involved in Death
OF Man Dragged by
Car 10 Testify Today

Two men, both connected by
police with circumstances that
preceded the bizarre death of a
34-year-old merchant marine
sailor who was dragged five
blocks beneath an automobile
Friday night, were scheduled to
tell their stories to a coroner's
jury today as police continued
their investigation.
The men are: James w. McMahon,
SO, an attendant at the Gospel Mis-
sion, from which the sailor had been
elected shortly before the accident,
and John L. De Gruchy, 4l-year- -old
carpenter, of Bill Sixth street NV,
under whose automobile the sailor
was found.
Mcmahon, former boxer and self
styled "bouncer" at the Mission,
810 Fifth street NV, is expected
to repeat the account he gave
police Of the incidents preceding the
death Of the sailor, Everett j. Ash
of Spartanburg, S. C. According to
1t. William j. hiverman, head of
the Accident Investigation Unit,
Mcmahon said he hit Mr.. Ash with
a lead-filled rubber hose and
dragged him down the stairs after
the victim caused a disturbance"
on the third floor of the mission.
Trail of Blood Found.
Police said they discovered trail
of blood on the staircase leading to
the door where Mcmahon admitted
ejecting Mr. Ash.
Investigators deduce that Mr.. Ash
then regained sufficient strength to
crawl short distance to the alley
where the second man held, Mr.. De
Gruchy, said his automobile was
parked.
1t. Liverman said Mr.. Ash became
entangled in the undercarriage of
the vehicle in an unknown manner
and was dragged five blocks to a
filling station at 900 Ninth street
NV, before Mr.. De Gruchy noticed
something wrong" with the steer
ing of the automobile.
Mr.. Ash was found under the car,
his arm hooked around the front
axle and right spring. He died Sat-
urday of fractured pelvis, a lacer-
ated liver and internal injuries, an
autopsy at the District Morgue re-
vealed.
Other Weapons Discovered.
Meanwhile, police have called six
residents of the mission as witnesses:
Thomas J. Bryant, 81; Lindsay
Hobbs, 25; Charles w. Jennings, "a;
Roy L. Wilson, 80; James Gray, 81,
and Robert c. Dowdle, Al.
In addition to the rubber hose,
police said they also confiscated a
similar weapon and a blackjack.
Harvey v. Prentice, superintendent
of the mission, said he was not aware
of the presence of the weapons or
their intended use. He described
Mcmahon, 6-footer, as a watch
man and said there are two other
attendants at the home with similar
duties.
The superintendent said the mis-
sion is haven for the homeless, !"
supported by contributions
Witnesses told police the dis
turbance" which resulted in Mr..
Ash's election from the mission, was
precipiated by the victims refusal
to disrobe before going to bed as
required by mission regulations.

The House begins tentative
nose-counting today on sweep

Up for decision is series OF
amendments designed to tone down
the bill by Representative Case, Re-
publican Of South Dakota, who
proposed to set up a National Medi-

Members said the preliminary
tests on amendments to eliminate
one or more of those provisions
will indicate clearly how the House
will 60 when the bill itself comes to
a showdown vote tomorrow or We'd

Leaders insist privately they still
expect the measure to emerge little
changed from its present form.
Foes of the Case bill have two
main hopes of defeating it. One is
that the Republicans might fail to
support 1t in a bloc as some party
members have indicated they will
The other is for the opponent to get
together solidly behind a compro-
mise. So far they haven't.
Calls Measure Vicious.
CIO President Philip Murray
lashed out at the Case measure in
letter to Speaker Rayburn, Demo-
crat of Texas, terming 1t "one of the
most vicious and cleyerly-
drawn pieces of antilabor legisla-
ton in congressional history"
The labor leader contended the
bill was not studied in committee
but was damned through a packed
group in the Rules Committee" as
substitute for President Truman's
ct-f1nding plan.
Mr.. Murray's protest came in an
avalanche of mail and kilograms
that hit the Capitol in the biggest
storm of correspondence in months
