Delinquent Taxpayers
Traced in Arlington
Through Their Autos

Several thousand Arlington resi-
dents who failed to file State per-
sonal property and income tax re-
turns have been traced through
their ownership of automobiles by
Commissioner of Revenue Harry
K. Green.
Mr.. Green has sent these prop
erty owners a letter which indi-
Gates he really means business.
Although the deadline for pay
ment of taxes is midnight Mon
day. the letters went out only
about a week ago because Mr..
Green's Office was late in receiving
the automobile registration list.
The paragraph which lets the
delinquent taxpayers know Mr..
Green's intentions reads:
Unless we hear from you re-
garding this matter within five
days, your automobile will be as
sessed against you at a value in
excess of what we ordinarily assess
same because Of your failure to
comply with the law and return
your automobile for taxation"
Other Property Included.
Mr.. Green admitted his Office
was in a bit of rush to get as
much money as possible for the
State Golfers and that the warn
ing might have been a little clear
er if he had had more opportu-
nifty to work 1t over.
But, Mr.. Green said. it boils
down to this:
When the commissioner learns
that a resident owns a car. the
commissioner Immediately as
|sumes the car owner has other
property such as furniture. house.
hold effects. etc. When the resi-
dent fails to declare a return so
he can be taxed. the commissioner
makes an arbitrary assessment
against him using the automobile
as the base but raising the nor
NAL estimate of its value because
of the assumption as to other pro-
|perty.
Will Issue Summonses.
Mr.. Green pointed out that the
taxpayer could have avoided any
difficulty by filing his return be-
fore the May l deadline. He said
his Office sent tax blanks to all
residents known to the Office.
Under the law, Mr.. Green ex-
planned, car owners who failed to
come into his Office as a result
of the letter are sent a summons
to appear before him. If they fail
to heed the second request, he
can swear our warrants requir-
ing them to face charges in the
County Court.
A five per cent penalty is added
to taxes which are not paid by
Mondays deadline.

laden with prizes and souvenirs.
late today will leave the scene of
their 1e49 National All Congress.

night and the % Marylanders were
free to mprovise their own sched-
ule today. They decided to visit
Don McNeil's radio breakfast pro-
gram. the Chicago grain pit and
the Meet the Traveller" radio
show. and spend the rest of the
day shopping and sightseeing.
Souvenirs given the delegates by
the big packing. merchandise, mo-
tors and other corporations which
help sponsor the All congress in
clude Fred Warning record, flash
lights. pencils. scrapbooks, towels,
notebooks, memo pads. photo
graphs of themselves. toy tractors
and autograph books.
Celebrities Sign Books.
Most of the boys and girls
busted themselves getting the
books filled with signatures OF
such celebrities as Ted Williams.
John Lujack. Babe Didrikson,
Harry Wismer and Gene Autry,
all of whom appeared on their
programs.
Highlights OF their trip? Well.
Paul Coblentz. 81. of Middletown,
Frederick County. won't soon for
get that he was chairman of a
group of six who discussed All
Club work on the network tele-
vision show Of Everett Mitchell,
Day in Chicago; nor the eve
ming he spent with a vice presi-
dent Of the Kraft Foods Co.,
which entertained the sectional
winners in dairy production, nor
his first view of the Pittsburgh
steel mills at night from the
stratadome of a Baltimore & Ohio
train.
For James Montgomery. 81,

Chicago Museum of Natural His
tory.
Conservation Stressed.
Most girls, like. Patricia Ann
Lynch, H., Gaithersburg, cited the
Fred Waring luncheon entertain
ment at the Edgewater Beach
Hotel as the high spot of the trip.
The youths were quick to note
a recurring theme in the many
speeches they heard-the impor-
lance of soil conservation and of
All Club work in determining
Americas future.
Many wished they could stay
longer and see more of their host
city. They had one small criti-
cism of the weeks program:
TOO much food and not enough
rest"
