Alternate Program
With Sales Levy
Moy Be Offered
By the Associatsd Press

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. "a
critical Virginia House of Delegates
is scheduled to get down to debate
today on Gov. Tuck's tax-increase
program.
Actually, the sparks began to fly
on the House floor Friday, when the
Governors bills first came up for
discussion. Opposition to the meas
ures was so pronounced then that
administration leaders, fearful of
prolonged debate, moved to defer
further consideration of the bills
until 1890 pm. today.
There were reports that an alter
native program would be introduced,
trimming the Governors recommen-
dations for increases in income and
merchants license takes and adding
a general sales tax of l per cent.
Gov. Tuck has declared his oppcsi-
ton to the sales tax, except as last
resort.
The Governors proposals are in
tended to produce an additional
$21, 100000 in revenue in the 1948-
so biennium. Opponents have cen
tered their attacks not so much on
the necessity for increased revenue
as on Gov. Tuck's proposals for
raising it.
Two public hearings also are
scheduled today for the legislature.
The House Committee on Game and
Inland Fisheries is slated to hear
arguments on legislation to increase
hunting and fishing license fees.
Also hearing on measures to make
women liable for jury service in
Virginia will be held jointly by Sen
ate and House Committees.

Retired Federal Worker Quits

Miss Gertrude Hill
Tells of Benefit From
Orchestru's Work

Turning her back on the sunshine
of st. Petersburg, Fla, a retired
Government worker has become an
inspiration to the National SYM

The do-or-die quest for $165 900
to keep the orchestra operating an

of Miss Gertrude E.. Hill as soon
as she read about it in The Star.

Miss Hill did not want to talk
much about herself, her Is years
in Government service and subse-
|quent migration to Florida.
Her interest was focused on the
orchestra, which she first learned
to appreciate after her retirement
10 years ago.
She gave the National Symphony
credit for creating her taste for
cultural music. 1t all began at a
series of summer concerts, she said,
and after that she never missed
a concert.
Thus it was that her first night
back in Washington she heard DR..

Regretting the years of music
appreciation she missed, Miss Hill
said one reason she was voluntarily.
working for the orchestra was her
desire for children to hear good
music.
IF the symphony goes down, I
go down with it," she said. But
she didn't sound as if she thought
it would.

Mrs. butcher declared One is bill
to raise the allowances for children
of deceased seryicemen. Another

to widows of men killed in the war.
A third bill would provide college

veterans.
