Wind Shift Caused Crash
By the Associnted Rrsss

NEW YORK, June 11-A United
Air Lines vice president today told
a Civil Aeronautics Board hearing
there was some doubt in my mind
concerning the wind-shift theory as
the cause of the crash of a United
DC-4 at La Guardia Field, May %
with loss of AZ lives.
Early investigation by the air line
ana the Civil Aeronautics Board
had attributed an unexpected shift
in wind as the cause of the crash,
John A. Herlihy of Chicago, vice
president in charge of operations,
told the hearing.
However, he added, evidence I'M
covered subsequently had caused his
doubt and he added that United
now has an open mind on the sub
ject and desires to press the in
veStigation to determine the cause
of the accident.
Leo Sterginger, Freeport, N. Y,
senior fight dispatcher for UAL on
duty at La Guardia. told the board
he thought the plane would be clear
OF the field before the storm ar
rived.
A statement by Capt. Benton B
Baldwin said the control tower had
asked him If he wanted to sit on
The field and wait out the storm
but added that while black clouds
were over the Hudson there was
good visibility and clearing skies in

had voted to indorse the proposed
budget as it now stands.

group, said the need for better

Program for Dividing Taxes
Worked Out by Prince Georges

A method of distributing auto
mobile, gasoline and racing tax
revenue from the State to incorpo--
rated towns and special improve
ment districts in Maryland has been
worked out by the Prince Georges
County Commissioners.
Their decision was reached yester-
day at Upper Marlboro after re-
port from a five-man committee
which had been assigned to draft
a program for revenue distribution
According to Waldo Burnside. one
of the five officials, funds will be
distributed to incorporated towns
twice yearly, while money designated
for special improvement districts
will be credited to their accounts
by the county
These districts, Mr.. Burnside
pointed out, will be permitted to use
their money as before-only when
resident property owners request
Improvement work to be done. Funds
credited to their account then will
be applied for payment or partial
OF such Improvements, he
added.
County to Get Half.
From automobile taxes levied by
the State, the county will get half
of what actually represents taxes,
the board attorney reported, with
towns and special improvement dis
tricts taking one-half of this share.
incorporated communities may use
the money for any town expendi-
lures.
What amount the county and
communities will receive has not
yet been determined, Mr. Burnside
explained, adding it would be made
on a basis of the number of auto
in each area.
Town clerks will be required to
submit certified lists of car owners
to the county treasurer before re-
ceiving any funds.
Half of the revenue received from
race tracks will be returned to the
county, with incorporated towns re-
ceiving half of this. Special i'm
provement districts will not benefit

he committee

from these taxes, the commlttee
said.
Such funds may be used only for
street improvements and utilities
by either towns or the county, al
though incorporated sections may
use the money for garbage and
trash collections, Mr.. Burnside said,
Towns and special improvement
districts also will benefit up to Is
per cent, or half Of the county's
share, from the gasoline tax rev.
enue, with money to be spent only
for road improvements. The funds
will be distributed ON basis Of ac-
tual total mileage in each COM
munity.
Neither the county nor towns will
benefit directly from the sales and
use of tax revenues. Such money,
Mr.. Burnside said. will be applied by
the State for schools and road i'm
provements where necessary.
At the same time the tax-study
committee announced that both in
corporated towns and counties are
per cent tax on amuSementS. The
State already has a similar tax on
amusements, which is in addition
to Federal taxes.
Members Listed.
Included on the committee be-
sides Mr.. Burnside were: Linden
Briscoe, clerk to the commissioners; !;
James B. Bland. county treasurer;
Louis W. Kutsch, county supervisor
OF assessments, and County En-
gineer Arthur w. Tayman.
The commissioners, in other busi-
ness, directed letters be sent to the
Is committing magistrates, or
justices of the peace, in the county

by some in preparing warrants and
other necessary papers.
Reminding the magistrates that

where magistrates fail to comply
with the boards request to speed
