counties. The Calvert County COM
misisoners notified the State tax
commission recently that it would
not place new assessment values
for its first tax district on the
books. They said the new assess
ments were well out of line with
those of the other districts in the
county.
Washington County, although
exempted from the law, has a five
year plan of its own.
Instead Of re-assessing by dis
tricts. however. property in that
county is assessed by type.
During one year, for example,
all business properties are re-eval-
uated for tax purposes. The next
two years might be taken up with
re-assessing homes; then farm
properties.
MIR. Shank said the Washington
County commissioners feel their

coffee history was recorded yes
terday as anxious bidders paid
from $40 to $50 per 100 pounds,

Coffee experts here believe the

There was no price differential
as to grade, indicating that roast

French Foreign Minister Schuman.
Even If the steering committee
OF the Assembly. to which the
question of the two membership
invitations has been referred, ap-
proves them, final action may have
to wait three months more, when
the Council meets again.
On other matters, such as
European supreme court to en-
force human rights, economic
integration and closer cultural re-
lationships between Western
European nations, the ministers
passed the buck" as one mem
ber-minister phrased it, to various
subcommittee and experts.
. LIE Monde, the influential Paris
afternoon newspaper, observed:
1.-THE Council of Europe has
been weakened by the debate of
the foreign ministers"
French Papers Critical.
French newspapers in general
were critical of the meeting. =
LIE Monde said Mr.. Bevin was
responsible for the disagreements
on the committee of ministers.
Most papers added that recon-
struction of Europe with British
help was as difficult as 1t was
desirable.
Britain wants to maintain the
absolute authority of the foreign
ministers, or upper house, over
the Council of Europe. Other ma
tions, notably Italy and France
are anxious to expand the au-
thority of the Consultative AS
sembly, or lower house.
The committee of ministers de-
bated economic and cultural rela-
tions at length, but reached no
decisions other than to ask sub
committees to draft more reports.
Inclusion of Saar Agreed On.
In the matter of membership,
there was immediate unanimous
consent that the West German
Republic should be at least an
associate member. AS an asso-
ciate member she would have rep
resentation in the assembly but
not in the Council of Ministers.
The French insisted that the
Saar Basin, which France made
self-governing except for eco
nomic affairs last year, should be
regarded on the same footing as
the Bonn republic.
The ministers agreed to in
clude the Saar pending a final
settlement OF It's status-mean-
ing peace treaty with Germany
which still technically owns the
Saar.

Ecuador President Denies
Attempt Against His Life
By the Associoisd Press


QUITO, Ecuador, Nov. 5.-Presi-
dent Gallo Plaza denied today re-
ports from his own interior min
istry that an ill-timed assassin's
bomb blew up q bridge in the
Riobamba area q few minutes
after he crossed it.
The report was distributed
Thursday by Interior Minister Ed
uardo Salazar Gomez. It said the
-four corners" bridge on the Pan
American highway was demol-
ished shortly after Mr.. Plaza
crossed it last Wednesday on his
way south to a festival in Cuenca.
The fact Is, Mr.. Plaza said, he
didn't even cross the bridge. And
furthermore, when he inspected
the bridge on his way back to
Quito it was only slightly damaged.
1T was not even remotely an
attempt against my ife," he said.
He said it was his opinion that
irresponsible persons bombed the
bridge as a gesture OF resentment
because the Pan American high
way had not been built through
Riobamba.

Doff your lid to Connie Mack. The old boy hit it right on the nose when he said his Philadelphia As could decide the American League race.
 They'll have to beat the As first" he said last week. He wasn't kidding. Yesterday he proved it for the benefit of the Boston Red Sox who suffered two shocking setbacks at Shibe Park.
 The Sox, only a half game ce- hind New York Saturday afternoon after the Tanks lost the first game of a doubleheader to Washington, now are three full games back. Furthermore, they have only Is to play.
 Boston belted the As IA out Of 20 this season until they blew yes- terday's pair, GA and 40. It may have cost them the pennant. How ever, MT. Macks gang also has three more dates with the Yankees in the last week of the season.
 New York took care of Washing ton, 20-5 and 2-1, setting a new major league record in the opener by drawing II bases on balls from the Senators pitchers" during a 12-run rally in the third inning. The second game was called be- cause of darkness after 5ia innings with the cellarites missing a chance to tie by some inept base running.
 Detroit continued it's surge, as Virgil Trucks shut out Chicago, To, for the Tigers 10th straight win. They have won Is of their last 20 and hold third place, a half game ahead of the defending world champion Cleveland Indians. The Indians lost at St. Louis, 5-4. The Tigers are 512 games behind the Tanks with only IA to go. They could do it but it would require a miracle finish.

were attacking Anhai, 80 miles

that Annoy would be defended tc
