Fish Net Extensions
Approved by Royal
Shock 10 Gov. Lane
BY the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS, Aug. 2l.-EXtension
of fish lines in Chesapeake Bay off
Virginia's Eastern Shore might
strangle commercial fishing in Tide
water Maryland, Gov. Lane charged
yesterday.
The~Governor called Secretary of
the Army Royals approval of the
extension mot only regrettable, but
a definite shock to me-"
The Army ruling, which followed
a series Of hearings and conferences,
allows Virginia commercial fisher
men to put their nets and traps UP
1000 feet further out in the bay
than before.
Pleasure Craft Owners Object.
Maryland's Tidewater Fisheries
Commission had argued strenuously
against the extension, with the
backing of Representative Miller,
Republican, of Maryland. A group
OF pleasure craft owners also fought
the proposal, saying it would inter-
fere with navigation.
The Governor said he hoped "Sec-
rotary Royals action is not unal-
terable an6 that steps will be taken
to have him reconsider his approval
OF the extension"
Moving out the legal fishing lines
will allow Virginia ito further bot
tie up the avenues" for migration
OF fish to Maryland's part of the
bay, the Governor said.
Four of the five major species of
fish caught in tidewater Maryland
migrate through the Virginia capes,
he added.
Catch Drops so Per Cent.
Maryland's annual catch has
dropped go per cent in the last 40
years, the governor said, and Vir-
GINA has suffered, too. -"
He also charged Virginia with not
cooperating in onservatio
measures.
In 1941, he said, Maryland
sharply reduced" its number Of
commercial fishing gears to let
more migratory fish reach spawning
grounds. Free State watermen went
along with the curb although, the
Governor said, they realized it would
help Virginians more than them
selves.
Efforts to interest Virginia fish
ermen in a similar conservation
move were unavailing," he declared.

Axis Sally to Arrive Here Today
To Face Charges Of Treason

requires at least two witnesses ito
the same overt act" said the inquiry
into the woman's alleged radio &C
tivities had presented "a prodigious
task"
According to authorities, she left
this country in 1929 to study music
in France. She went to Germany
in 1884. The Justice Department
said she took job in 1910 with the
official German government radio,
then primarily engaged in broad
casting propaganda to England.
After Americas entry into the
war, the department said, she d.
rected Berlin programs beamed to
American forces in North Africa

the names Axis Sally" and

grams after the Normandy invasion

Formation Of Council
To Promote Virginia
Causes Chamber Rift
By the Associoted Press

NEW MARKET, Va, Aug 21.-
How and to what extent Virginia
shall be publicized is becoming an
issue, following formation three days
ago of the Virginia Promotion
Council.
Yesterday at Endless Caverns,
Robert F. Nelson, public relations
director Of the Virginia State Cham
Der of Commerce, declared that he
would resign his post and head the
Promotion Council if it would get
enough money to advertise Virginia
as it should be advertised.
He said the Promotion Councils
projected budget was $125, 900 as
compared with $50, 900 or AZ per cent
of the State Chambers 1947 budget
of $4,000, spent for this purpose.
Nominated as Leader.
Mr. Nelson was nominated to head
the Promotion Council when it was
formed Wednesday.
But Vernon Kemp, executive Sec
rotary of the State Chamber. said
that while there was need for travel
advertising and promotion, it would
be great mistake for another Or
ganization to be formed to dupli-
cate what the State Chamber was
doing, especially with the same man
at the head of it.
Mr.. Kemp said that every one
should get behind the one organiza-
ton, the State Chamber, increase its
budget from $4,000 to $500, 900 an
nually, and then allocate a third of
the big budget, or 100000, for tour
LIST advertising and promotion
Opposes Promotion Council.
Ben F.. Mumaw, veteran executive
Of the Roanoke Chamber of Com
merce, spoke strongly against the
Virginia Promotion Council. and
said he thought Chairman William
A. Wright of the Virginia Conserva-
ton Commission was making a mis-
take in indorsing it.
The council was formed at a
held in the Conservation
Commissions Offices at the State
Capitol in Richmond.
George Prince Arnold. publicity
director Of the Conservation Com
declared that the commits
sion stood for ANY worthwhile
supplementary organization that
helps us advertise Virginia"
The discussion arose at a meeting
of some 40 Shenandoah Valley
Chamber of Commerce executives
and their guests at Endless Caverns.

Limit on Bond Interest
Raised in Alexandra
To Meet Tight Market

The ordinance authorizing a
IS, ESQ, 900 Alexandria bond issue for
various public improvements was
changed by the City Council last
night to permit payment of a high
er rate of interest.
The action was taken after New
York bonding attorneys informed
Alexandria officials they would not
be able to sell the bonds for their
face value at the 2 per cent interest
rate specified in the original ordi-
nance. Sealed bids for purchase OF
the bonds are to be opened at noon
Thursday.
An amendment permitting the
higher interest rate was passed on
the first two readings last night and
the required third reading will come
before the regular Council meeting
Tuesday night.
40 Interest Ceiling Set.
The amendment to the bond ordi-
nance sets ceiling of 4 per cent on
the bonds interest rate. The bond
bids, therefore. will hinge on the
interest rate, with the Council ex-
pected to accept the lowest.
The last Alexandria bond issued
sold about four years ago, bore pei
cent interest, but premium paid
by the purchaser had the effect OF
reducing the interest rate to about
IL per cent.
When the councilmen pointed this
out to the bonding attorneys, they
were told money is much tighter
now.
To Consider Bids Thursday.
The new form of the ordinance
will not require postponing the bid
deadline beyond Thursday, however
as pamphlets advertising the issue
were changed last week in anticipa-
ton of last nights action, it was
disclosed.
The Council is expected to meet
Thursday night to accept a bid on
the bonds. This probably will be
the last act performed by the pres
ent City Council, as a new Council
takes over September /. 1t will be
the job of the new council, which
will include only three incumbent:
to figure out how to retire the bono
issue.
The $3.50, 900 in bonds is being
sold to finance a school building pro.
gram exceeding $2,50O,000, street i'm.

End Of Maryland
Tax onUnearned
Income Urged
Dulin Coils on Stute
To Abolish or at Least
Cut 5 Per Cent Levy
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

ANNAPOLIS, Aug. 21.-State Sen
ator Wilbur r. Dulin, Democrat. Of
Anne Arundel County, proposed to-
day that Maryland abolish or re-
duce" its 5 per cent tax on unearned
income and allow a deduction for
Federal income tax.
He said it would be a way to lower
Marylanders' tax bills in view of a
general fund surplus Of almost $20,-
100000.
Both Gov. Lane and Controller
James ]. Lacy have suggested some
thing might be done about the tax
rate on earned income, now 2 per
cent and due to jump to az per cent
with payments on 1913 income.
Senator Dulin said he does not
favor this.
Sees TAX on q Tax"
Permitting no deduction for
money paid the Federal Government
on income creates in the State "a
tax on money you don't get-a tax
on a tax" he declared.
"As the Federal Government al
lows you to deduct State taxes, the
State should let you deduct the
federal tax"
Senator Dulin charged the impost
on unearned income hits people who
have fixed incomes, such as retired
school teachers and others living on
pensions"
BY taking slice of profits from
investments and bank accounts, he
said it penalties people for saving
money
The legislative council early this
year voted against the federal tax
deduction idea, but Senator Dulin
urged that it be reconsidered.
Surplus Increase Seen.
The board of revenue estimates, on
the governors instruction, is looking
into State finances to see whether
tax relief is possible next year.
Figures prepared this month by its
operating arm, the bureau of reve-
nue. estimates, forecast an increase
in the surplus of 100000.
Members asked a detailed study
OF income tax receipts, saying they
might boost the surplus even higher
