Eight Additional Pages Needed TO
Curry Heavy Delinquent Tux List
Almost 1900 Pieces OF
Real Estate With
Taxes Unpaid Saturday

The Sentinel this week car
ries eight pages of delinquent
taxes-64 columns, each col
umn with approximately rs
pieces of real estate on which
taxes had not been paid by
the deadline on Saturday
the highest in years. The list
of almost 1000 is several
times larger than last years
which carried about TOO de-
linquencies.
The original list prepared
for publication ran more than
IA columns of standard
newspaper type-18 pages of
s columns each, or about
1000.
According to County Treas
urer John B. Diamond, March
IL was the county deadline
for payment to avoid publica-
tion of delinquency. AS of
Saturday, a $3.50 penalty fee
was assessed against delin-
quent bills. Of this amount,
$3.50 is a charge for adver-
Using each property and
$1.00 is a penalty. Properties
on which taxes are not paid
by April IL will be offered for
sale.
Two reasons are given for the
delinquency increase one is the
tardy distribution Of taxbills
the principal reason is attributed
to increasing scarcity Of money.
Included in reasons for the delay
were problems Of q new recording
system and inadequate personnel
in the Treasurer's office.
In view of the situation, county
authorities are becoming more and
more concerned over what to do
with delinquent property it ac-
quires at tax sales. The subject
was discussed at a recent meeting
of the County Council in report
by Councilman Thomas Kelley. He
pointed out that it would require
attention of the new county attor-
ney and decision on policy.

Zoning Laws To
Be Enforced
By Co. Council

The Maryland National Capital
Park and Planning Commission on
Tuesday climaxed a bitter dispute
with the County Council by wash
ing it's hands of coming enforce
ment. The commission said it has
decided to make no effort to pro-
secute violations of the Montgom-
cry ordinance.
The County Council Immediately
accepted enforcement responsible
ity, which it charges the commits
sion has shirked. The council is
committed to a policy of strict
compliance with the ordinance.
The Park and Planning Commits
sion decision to disassociate itself
with coming enforcement was an
nounced by its attorney, j. Bond
Smith. 1t furnished the first heat
ed verbal exchange in the new
Councils history.
AS Mr.. Smith stood to read
long statement for the Commits
sion. Frederick P. Lee, president
of the County Council, remarked,
"Sit down Bond-you won't have
to get out that fast" The state
ment accused the Council of Con
FUSION" "indecision," and failure
to live up to an agreement. 1t
charged the Council displayed
shocking inability or unwilling
ness to recognize the nature and
necessity of co-ordinated plan
ming"
Council President Lee who once
served as a member of the plan
ming commission, promptly brand
ed the statement as incorrect" He
chided the commission for stating
recently that it would assume COM
plete responsibility for enforce
ment and then suddenly changing
its position.
To set up it's inspection ma
chinery, the Council will have to
pass special legislation in May.
How the new expense will be fin
anced is a matter to receive early
study.
The Council appointed a new
Advisory Committee of Health
consisting of six members. They
are DR.. j. w. Bird, Sandy Spring;
Mrs. Dexter Billiard, Rockville;
Allan B. Fay, Bethesda; Mrs. w.
.Hinckley, Gaithersburg; Walter

Eleventh street and Pennsylvania

The soldier, Pvt Ulva Colbert

Division arrested him on the
charge of disorderly conduct.
Pvt. Peterson said the soldier
tripped him and knocked him

held the soldier until help arrived

its plans. But some observers ex-
pect the trial to continue at least
another three months. They be-
lieve the Governments case will
continue another month and that
the defense will take at least two.
The latest witnesses have added
details to the framework Of the
Governments charges. These
charges are that the defendants
turned their party after the war
to advocacy of a course of violent
revolution in the United States
designed to bring on a working
class dictatorship.
Miss Calomiris said the party
used false names for members, un-
derground cells, secret schools and
other conspiratorial apparatus in
teaching the need for advancing
socialism through revolution.

could invade Alaska from Siberia,
march through Canada and de-
stroy Detroit"
The defendants smiled scorn-
fully and said this was "ludicrous"
testimony. Judge Medina re-
buked them for creating "coun-
try-club atmosphere"
Perhaps the most piquant item
was the disclosure by Miss Gallo
miris that $50 OF the Govern
ment's money is being used for
the defense of the Communist
leaders.
She testified the FBI paid all
expenses Of her undercover work
and said this included $50 she
gave to the trial defense fund
while she remained a party mem
