Fighting has broken out in North

The rebels succeeded in occupy

threatened at the present time by
the activities Of a prolific guer-
trilla chieftain named Verlachi,
who allegedly operates out Of the

Alexandra Will Tax
All Utility Bills 10 Pct.
Starring in February .

Alexandria will begin levying a
10 per cent tax on all utility bills
beginning about February l..
The new tax will be paid by
users of water, gas, electricity and
telephones.
The levy, expected to raise
$375, 900 in 1850, was approved
last night by the Alexandria City
Council despite vigorous OPPOSE
ton by a group of citizens and
spokesman for the utilities. The
vote supporting recommended
ton of City Manager w. Guy
Ancell was 5 to 2.
The utility tax was approved in
preference to additional levies on
real estate to help provide money
necessary for a record budget Of
$4,312,312-a figure $155, 300 below
that proposed by the city man
ager. 1t is 100000 more than is
being spent in 1949.
Technically, the new budget and
new tax cannot become effective
until several steps are taken. The
council must wait three days be-
fore making it's action final. To
do that, it will meet Saturday
Then. it must ask the Virginia
General Assembly to amend the
present city charter so the utility
tax can be levied. This will be done
when the Legislature convenes
next month. Assembly approval is
expected Immediately.
After that, the council must
adopt a city ordinance imposing
the 10 per cent tax on utility bills.
Mayor Franklin P. Backus said this
can be accomplished in time to
make the ordinance effective Feb
ruary l.
Alexandria new charter, also
to be introduced in the Legisla-
ture, will contain provisions for
utility taxes.

New Model Cars Show
Few Changes in 5ty|e;.
Refinements Stressed
BY the Associated Press

DETROIT. Dec. 28.-The new
model automobiles so far pre-
viewed confirm earlier guesses
that there would be no more
drastic design changes.
While some of the previews
have been on the record, several.
were private with details yet to
be disclosed to the public.
The most radical styling change
in 1850 models so far, of course,
is the redesigned Studebaker. Its
front-end styling, borrowed from
aircraft designing, is decidedly
different from that of any other
car introduced this year.
No Economy on Change Over.
This isn't to suggest the car
makers didn't change the styling
of their new models. Neither did
they economic on the change
over. Probably on the strength
of the years earnings they didn't
have to economic.
In any event ChrySler says it
spent $23, 600, 900 to bring out its
new models. K. T. Keller, Chrysler
president, described them as new
both coming and going"
Normally an outlay of that size
would suggest major design
changes. But tooling costs and
other expenses of changing q
model have doubled and trebled
for the auto industry since pre-
war days.
Buick Announces Details.
Buick announced details OF its
new 1850 models today. The cars
are wholly new, but they retain
all the Buick distinctive features.
They have more powerful engines,
new and roomier bodies and
sweeping fender lines carried
through the length of the body.
Buick is putting out seven
models in the Special series and
six each of the Super and Road
master series.
In just about every make OF
1850 cars the motorists will get
improved interior refinement, an
improved engine and more auto
matte tranSmiSSionS.
