ages of kerosene and No. 2 heat
ing oil. Since January 18th, more
than 10000 authentic hardship
cases have been satisfied through
this office. During this period
there has been some 40 to $4,000
phone calls, necessitating the addi-
ton of five direct telephone wires.
The extremely cold weather,
which has caused all of the Chesa-
peake Bay and the C. and D. Canal
to freeze solidly with ice up to
eight feet thick, has presented the
greatest problem in transportation
of petroleum products to this area.
The Coast Guard, with their ice
breakers, have been working night
and day in an effort to keep ship
ping lines open, and tankers and
barges carrying petroleum have
been given first priority in move
ment.
An analysis of the recent report
concerning 100000 gallons of
oil arriving at the port of Balti-
more, shows that there are actual
ly only 3,364,OC0 gallons of No. 2
heating oil Immediately available.
Some 100000 gallons of this
shipment was crude oil consigned
to a local refinery for processing.
Another 100000 gallons was No.
6 industrial oil. The remainder of
the shipment consisted of gasoline
and about 100000 gallons of kero-
Sene.
Kerosene, which is far more. cri-
teal than fuel oil in its scarcity,
still represents the greatest OBJ
stacle confronting the Fuel Co.
ordinator's Office. There are no
large supplies available, and deli
veries remain just trickle to sat
isfy the ever increasing demand.
Reports from the counties
within the state indicate that none
of them are experiencing too much
difficulty in maintaining a reason
able supply. There have been oc-
casions reported that showed a
spotty shortage, but through the
State Fuel Oil Co-ordinator's Or
ganization, most of these were sat-
isfied within a very short period.
Judge Niles commended the peo-
pie of the state for their whole
hearted cooperation in conserving
available supplies.
He went on to plead, "that the
situation is still in its most critical
period, and that the general public
must continue their vigorous eff
forts in their fifteen per cent saw
ings for the remainder of the heat
ing season."

Sfote Fuel Co-Ordinotor Discusses
Facts Pertinent To Fuel Shortages

The Office of the State Fuel CO.
ordinator, headed by Judge Emory
H. Niles, today announced that
some 1000 fuel oil distress cases
have thus far been supplied with
the oil loaned to the State of
Maryland by the United. States
Navy.
One of the stipulations of the
lending of the oil by the Navy was
that none of this oil could be given
to anyone except domestic oil
burner users in actual distress. A
complete record of all deliveries is
being kept.
The Office of the Baltimore City
and Baltimore County Fuel Oil
Co-ordinator have been completely

Income Tax
Information
On Autos

Motorists of Maryland may de-
duct state gasoline taxes paid dur
ing 1947 when reporting their Fed
eral Income Tax, Leonard E. Kol-
mer, Manager of the AAA Auto
mobile Club of Maryland an
nounced today. The Maryland gas
oline tax is now five cents gal
lon. Motorists in computing taxes,
however, must use four cents a
gallon for gas purchased from
January 1, 1947, to May 81, 1947,
and five cents per gallon from June
1, 1947, to December 81, 1947.
"In order to take advantage of
the gasoline tax or any other de-
duction," the motor club official
pointed out, "a return must be
made on the long-form Form 1040.
Deductions are not to be listed if a
Withholding Receipt is used as
return or if the car owner files
Form 1040 and uses either the tax
table or standard deduction, since
blanket allowance is made in lieu
Of such deductions"
When using the long-form Form
104O, all sums paid during the tax
able year in the form of registra-
ton fees, drivers license fee and
titling tax may be deducted from
the car owners gross income in
arriving at the taxable income.
The Federal gasoline tax and other
Federal excise taxes are not de-
ductible.
1t was further disclosed that if
car is used entirely for business,
all maintenance expenses and de-
probation may be deducted along
with interest on money borrowed
for the purchase of the automobile.
In the event the car is used both
for business and pleasure, only
proportionate part of the mainte-
nance cost and depreciation based
on business use may be deducted.
A casualty loss sustained by
reason of damage to a passenger
car and not covered by insurance
may be deducted even though the
car is not being used for business.
Damages paid for injury to a pc
destrian are deductible only if the
car was being used for business at
the time of the accident. Ne deduc-
tons are permitted in any instance
for fines paid.
Loss sustained from the sale of
an automobile, amounts paid for
insurance and finance charges are
covered by other regulations" Kol-
mer said. "Some deductions are al
lowed under certain conditions"
1t was announced that special
booklet dealing with automobile
tax deductions has been prepared
by the American Automobile AS
ISOLATION. These are available to
motorists at the Automobile Club
Of Maryland offices and are an aid
for car owners

To the Editor,
The Sentinel,
Rockville, Md.

ASCNh'iAiS3 NAN'
For some time have been con-
fused as to TIC correct spelling Of
the name of the road leading from
Rockville over the bridge at the
B. & o. Railroad track to Wheaton
and Silver Spring.
Several signs along the way, two
in Rockville and two near Whea-
ton, give the name of this road as
"Viers Mill Road" My recollection
of the origin of the name is that it
was named after the owner of the
Veirs mill. This mill was located
on this road about three miles
from Rockville, on the South side
of the road and just East of Rock
Greek.
remember this old mill as it
was sixty-five years ago as l went
there frequently when we were
hauling wheat and corn there to be
ground. l remember distinctly the
old wooden bridge where the mill
race crossed the road from the
North to the mill on the South
side. The mill race still exists on
the North side of the road.
My recollection of the early own
er of this mill and the spelling of
his name as "Veirs" is very clear.
l have checked the telephone di-
rectories of the County and Wash
ington, and found the name spell
ed only "Veirs."
To add to my confusion as to the
correct spelling of the name Of this
road l have recently noticed at a
building project on the Selfridge
property, about one mile South
east of the site of the old mill,
signs reading "VierS Mill Village"
and also newspaper advertisements
of the project giving the name as
"Viers Mil Village"
Can you enlighten me as to the
correct spelling?
Thank you.
Very truly yours,
VIM. VEIRS ROBERTSON.

From The Counties

Bel Air-Following a meeting of
Hartford County magistrates and
Judge Frederick Lee Cobourn, in
which they agreed to mete out stiff
er sentences in convictions for
drunken driving, three men were
given Jail sentences for this offense
in the county during the past week.
On appeal cases it is reported
quite possible that Jail sentences
may even be increased, if the deci-
sion of the magistrates court is
upheld.

Annapolis - In a recent state
ment, Frank T. Stockett, president
of the Anne Arundel County Board
of Election Supervisors, charged
the U. S. Senate subcommittee, in
vestigating the O'Conor Marley
election, with extravagant prac-
tees. He said that the committee
seemed more intent on extending
the time of the inquiry at the tax
payers expense, rather than ascer-
tanning the real facts. He further
added that he has been unable to
have the county registration books,
impounded since January, 1947,
released so that they could be
placed in order prior to the pri-
mary election date of 1913.

Rockville - With a proposed
amendment contemplated to abol-
ish the Orphans Courts of the
State, the judges, constituting the
Orphans Court of Montgomery
County, have addressed letter to
Senator Roy Tasco Davis, urging
that the amendment be changed to
reduce the number of judges from
three to one. In support of this
recommendation, the letter stated
that transferring the functions of
the Orphans Court to the Circuit
Court would not result in a more
expeditions and economical admin
istration due to the fact that some
of the counties do not have resi-
dent Circuit Judge. They also
pointed out the amount of business
handled by the Orphans Court
there and declared that it was the
understanding of the local court
that most probate courts through
out the country consisted of but
one judge.

their intentions of giving his cam

Chestertown-According to a re-
cent audit, the figures of the Liquor
Control Board of Kent County
show a gross alcoholic beverage
business of $448,27S.51 there in
1947. The net profit from the dis
pensary sales was $73,946.92,
which is distributed to the county
and incorporated towns.
MISUNDERSTANDING of Mid
dletown have wisely noted that the
icy conditions of the local streets
has not been caused entirely by the
recent SHOWS. 1t has been partly
attributed to careless residents
who have been running waste
water off their premises into the
cutters and drains, spreading over
the streets and making a solid
sheet of ice. State Roads officials
have taken cognizance of the vio-
lations, punishable by law, and let
tiers have appeared in local news
papers, criticizing health officers
and public officials for failing to
enforce observance of the law. An
Act of the last session of the Mary
land Legislature makes the dis
posal of unsanitary waste water in
roadways, or the cutters or drains
bordering them, a misdemeanor,

King Asks Withdrawal
OF Condemnation Of
kimmeI and Stark

Admiral Ernest j. King has de-
cided' the actions already taken
against the two top Navy command
ers at thestime of the Pearl Harbor
attack were sufficient and asked
withdrawal of his earlier condemna-
ton of the two retired adnairals.
The two whose naval records the
wartime Chief of Naval Operations
wants cleared are Admiral Harold r.
Stark and Rear Admiral Husband
E. Kimmel.
Naval sources disclosed that Ad-
miral King had written Navy Sec
retary Sullivan asking that the rec
ord be expunged as far as his ear
lier condemnation was concerned.
He said that in the light Of more
detached viewpoint he believes that
the Pearl Harbor disaster was caused
by errors Of Judgment rather than
by sins Of commission and that the
record on the two officers should
carry the language Of his new letter
rather than his original indorse-
ment of the Navy's inquiry report Of
August 13, 1945.
No Action Taken.
Mr.. Sullivan has taken no action
on the recommendation although
it has been on his desk since last
April.
Admiral King, now at Bethesda
Naval Hospital, refused to comment
on his action. The statement
which he wishes to withdraw is:
Though not culpable to a degree
warranting formal disciplinary ac-
ton (they) were nevertheless made
quate in emergency, due to the lack
of superior Judgment necessary for
exercising command commensurate
with their duties (anO appropriate
action appears to me to be the rele-
cation of both these officers to posi-
tions in which lack of superior
strategic Judgment may not result
IN future errors.
THE action has been taken in the
case of both Admirals Stark and
Kimrnel. No further action is rec
commended"
Stark Retired in 1916.
Admiral Stark was chief of
naval operations on December Z,
1941, and held that post until the
following March. Then he was
named commander of American
naval forces in Europe and Of the
18th Fleet, and held those assign
ments until August Is, 1945-which
was two days after Admiral King
signed his Endorsement to the Pearl
Harbor report.
Returning to the United States
after WI day, Admiral Stark
served in the Office of the Scores
tary and devoted himself primarily
TO presenting material to a con-
gressional committee investigating
the Pearl Harbor attack. He was
retired April /, 1946, and now lives
at 1900 Glen Brook road NV.
Admiral Kimmel, commander In
chief of the Pacific Fleet at the time
Of the attack, was retired on March
!. 1912, after appearing before num-
erous investigations including the
one conducted by Congress. He now
is Southern manager of the Fred
erick r. Harris Engineering Co. of
New York with Offices in Knoxville,
Tenn.
The majority report Of the con-
gressional committee placed chief
blame fer the Pearl Harbor attack
on Admiral Kimmel and Mai. Gen.
Walter G. Short, the Army COM
mander in the area, but it added
that their errors were of Judgment
and did not represent dereliction of
duties.
