Cuban Denial Of Notes
Puzzles Dominicans
By the A.soeiofed Press

CIUDAD TRUJILLO, Dominican
Republic, Aug. 20,-The Dominican
Information Office said today the
government was puzzled by published
reports that Cuban officials had de-
MED receiving Dominican represen-
tations alleging that revolutionary
army was mobilizing in Cuba to in
wade this republic.
The information office, official gov
ernment agency, said that sin recent
weeks several representations have
been made to the Cuban government,
via cable and diplomatic notes. citing
specific instances of the activities
In Cuba of an armed brigade COM
posed mostly of Communists, includ-
ing veterans from the Red side in
the Spanish civil war"
The Office added that the Cuban
government had promised to inves-
tigate the Dominican complaints,
but declared that thus far it had
done nothing.
On Monday the Dominican gov
ernment said it felt 1t should solicit
the good offices of some other Amer
lean government to prevail on Cuba
to permit an investigation OF the
Dominican complaints by an inter-
national commission.
Dispatches from Havana Monday
night quoted Cuban Secretary of
state Gonzalez Munoz as saying the
Cuban government had received no
official protest from the Dominican
Republic concerning the alleged rev.
olutionary activities. Other Cuban
officials previously had declared the
Dominican reports unfounded and
Ruben de Leon, president of the
Cuban House of Representatives,
said proposals for an international
investigation were absurd"

Park Heads Look to Danish Idea
To Restore DAMAGED Stutuury

National Capital Park officials said
today they have their hand full Of"
marble and bronze statues from
which fingers, hands and other parts
have been lost, prey of souvenir
hunters, vandals or the weather.
Accordingly, we are looking with
real interest into a secret process
reported to have been developed in
Denmark and used extensively in
Europe for restoring such parts at
fairly reasonable COST" the Office of
Supt. Irving c. Root reported.
The process is not on the Ameri-
can market but an expert from
Denmark is expected to come to
this country later this year to ex-
plain 1t to officials here. 1t was
described today as a secret process
using cement mixture which not
only is more durable than ordinary
cement but also can be worked with
necessary color effects. 1t is good
only for marble and other stone
statutes and not for bronze, a parks
official said.
The Peace Monument near the
Capitol, the fountain in Dupont
Circle, the buffalo on Buffalo Bridge,
and the Washington Monument
were cited as examples of statuarv

BALTIMORE, Aug. 20-Delegate
Bernard S. Melnicove, Democrat, of
Baltimore took exception yesterday
to a ruling by Attorney General
Hall Hammond that Maryland's 2
per cent retail sales tax is to be ap-
piled separately to all items in one
purchase.
The chairman OF the House of
Delegates Judiciary COMMITTEES
challenged the opinion in a letter
to Controller James J. Lacy.
"I am concerned with Attorney
General Hammond's opinion OF
August Is in which he advises you
that a vendor shall collect tax
of 2 per centum on the price of each
separate retail sale,'" Mr.. Melni-
cove wrote.
IT am sure this was never the
legislative intent. II the Legis-
lature had so intended, the act
would read that a tax is imposed
'on each article sold instead of on
each separate sale as is the case
Mr.. Melnicove said that under the
Attorney Generals ruling house
wife buying 10 articles at 10 cents
each would pay tax q 10 per cent
instead of 2.
