they believe will be a record years

midnight last night. Taxpayers
still were calling for forms at the
guards desk at the District Build

Maryland residents have until
midnight tomorrow to file and
pay at least a quarter of their
State income taxes. Normally
their deadline would have been
last midnight. but since yesterday

the State controller moved the
deadline to Monday.
District officials, however, de-
cided against an extension.
c. A. Beard. jr.. District income
tax administrator, reported Fri
day that returns thus far indi-
Gated ANEW record in collections.
This was attributed to the fact
that Assessor Edward A. Dent re-
quired employers this year to file
information on earnings of all en-
ployes who had District addresses
and made $1,000 or more during
1949.
This information will be COM

Phone Strike DeadIine
Draws Nearer With
No Sign Of Agreement
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE Feb
ruary "a phone strike deadline
drew nearer today with no sign of
agreement along the major fronts.
The labor management dispute
in the Bell Telephone System may
even have taken a turn for the
worse, despite a peace move in
New Jersey.
Negotiations between the Ameri-
can Telephone & Telegraph Co.
and District 10 of the CIO-Com-
munications Workers of America
broke up for the time being We'd
nesday when union officials left
for a convention in Memphis.
They do not plan to return until
the day before the deadline.
Robert Greasy, division presi-
dent, said the union decided on
the recess because the company
has no desire to reach agreement
with us" until all angles can be
settled at once.
Strike Seen Unavoidable.
This brought a retort last night
from H. T. Killingsworth. A. T.
& T. vice president and head
of the long-lines operations, that
the division is seeking to bring
about Government intervention.
Division 10 is made up of 81 900
long-lines workers.
I'VE are convinced" Mr.. Kill
ingsworth said, that the negotia-
tors for the union either have no
authority to bargain with us or
have no intention to do so up to
this point. There is no
longer even a pretense of bargain
ing being made by union repre-
sentativeS."
1n negotiations in Washing
ton, two divisions of the, Com
munication Workers of America
had meetings scheduled today
with the Chesapeake & Potomac
Telephone Co. Neither side has
reported any progress on the
question of wages since bargain
ing began February 1)
In Detroit, Joseph A. Beirne,
CWA president, charged the COM
panies of the A. T. & T. group
had failed to make an offer to
union demands and that a strike
appeared unavoidable.
This leaves us no choice but
to strike" he said.
Driscoll Intervenes.
Other negotiations in New York
between CWA District 6 and 18I
and the Western Electric Co.,
A. T. & T.'s manufacturing sub

The New Jersey peace move
came yesterday after the union
