tions of the editor of the Local
Ia paper and his cohorts"
1t mentions the name of a for
mer newspaper man who, ac-
cording to the resolution, is not
a "UAW-CIO member" and the
resolution further states "who

from employment at Local IL

UAW-CIO in order to prevent
him from further jeopardizing

The Martin Parry resolution
includes a request that the Local

to all Local Unions in the UAW-
CIO so as to protect them from
being exploited by this individ-

with enemies of labor in an at
tempt to bust the union while
drawing pay from the union for
his anti-labor activities.

This week more resolutions
by Units were submitted to

Resolutions adopted at meet

similar action in adopting reso-
lutions at their meetings.
Martin Parry in their resolu-
tion stated, "a scurilous and un-
justified public attack has been
made upon the integrity and
character of vice-president of
our great international Union by
the Anti-Labor Toledo Blade" "
The resolution also states, that

0kays Acceptance Of
Estimated Taxes

The Montgomery County Council
today authorized Treasurer John B.
Diamond to accept the estimated
amount of taxes due on property in
the Bethesda and Silver Spring elec-
ton districts, for which tax bills
have not yet been sent out.
A resolution was adopted on ad-
vice of F. Barnard Welsh, attorney
for the council. q.
Mr.. Welsh explained that many
taxpayers will be unable to deduct
their real estate taxes from 1948
Federal income tax returns unless
they are permitted to pay county
property taxes before January !.
Approximately 5000 persons in
arrears adjacent to Bethesda and
Wheaton are affected by the move.
Last week, the council extended the
deadline for payment of real estate
taxes for 80 days after the post
mark on bills mailed by the treas
urer's Office.
MIR. Welsh advised Mr.. Diamond
to find out as nearly as possible the
amount of taxes to be levied on eact
taxpayer and then to add per cent
to cover any possible increase ovel
the 1947 taxes.
Each taxpayer will receive a re.
ceipt in which he agrees to pay
the difference between the esti-
mated amount due and the actua,
taxes, provided the latter are higher
than the amount paid. If the esti-
mated amount is more than the cor
rect sum, the treasurer will refund
the difference.
The estimated taxes must be paid
