Tax Expert Advises
Farmers on Refunds
In Livestock Sales
BY the A.soeioted Press

BLACKSBURG, Va, Feb. IL
Livestock and dairy farmers are
advised by an agricultural econo-
mist to check Federal income tax
regulations carefully for possible
refunds.
w. F. Nuckolls, jr.. of the Vir-
ginia Polytechnic Institute, said
recent decision of the Eighth
Circuit Court Of Appeals held thai
under some conditions, only hall
the gain from sale of dairy, breed
! ing and work stock need be listec
as taxable income.
Fourth Circuit Exempt.
He said the decision is not ap-
plicable in the fourth circuit
which includes Virginia. But he
advised applying for refunds in
appropriate cases, in the event
the decision later applies in the
fourth circuit.
Mr.. NuckollS said these are the
conditions applicable to the so per
cent listing:
The farmer must have owned
the animals for more than six
months. The sale must either
have reduced the size of the herd
or made room for requirements
of a different breed or quality
from the offspring. The animals
must have been in use for dairy,
breeding or work purposes at the
time of the sale.
Should Seek Refund.
Mr.. Nuckolls said farmers who
have been paying income tax on
the basis Of the full sale price of
certain dairy, breeding or work
animals during the past two or
three years may find it profitable
to apply for a refund.
The application must be made
within three years after filing the
original return in question and
should be filed with the collector
where the assessment was made
or the tax paid.
Further information can be OBJ
tanned by contracting Mr.. Nuckolls
at VPI.

west, outside the town.
Another was presented by 80
persons who asked that their
names be removed from the first
petition. The third, signed by
about 800 persons, urges that the
cloyerleaf be built as planned.
A leader in the opposition is
DR.. A. D. Pollack, whose home
and surrounding four acres would
be taken if the proposed location
is approved.
1--WE want a cloverleaf but not
right in the village" he said last
night. Actually, the road has
to curve to the east to go through

while the highway would take ar
additional 140 acres.
Says Majority Want It.
Il am satisfied that the majority
of the people here want the clover
leaf put where the commission
wants it," he asserted.
He said the commission had as
sured him that the cloverleaf
would not be opened until the
second section of the road is COM
pleted to HyattstoWn.
"As a result" he explained, mo
torists coming from Washington
would use the Hyattstown clover
leaf to get onto the pike and
those coming from above Urbana
would take the new road at Fred
erick. So there wouldn't be any
more traffic going through Urbana
than there is now"

The first section of the new road
5-mile' stretch between Fred
erick and point 1000 feet north
Of Urbana-is under contract. The
second section will extend another
5 miles from there to Hyattstown
in Montgomery County, where
another cloverleaf is planned.
State Senator Edward D. Storm
of Frederick County has taken no
stand. But he believes many OF
the approximately 1000 persons
affected are confused" because
the State Roads Commission has
failed to explain the matter
fully.

Real Estate Appraisal
Two-Thirds Complete
In Arlington County
By Robert c. RoIIinqs

Two-thirds Of Arlington real
estate has been appraised in
preparation for the quadrennial
reassessment, it was learned yes
terday.
The County Board received a
report from a special appraisal
team of the Virginia Department
of Taxation that 18.489 parcels
had been evaluated as of January
81.
The team has been working in
the county for several months.
Bill On Governors Desk.
Legislation authorizing the re-
assessment has been passed by
the General Assembly, now in
session at Richmond, and is on
Gov. Battles desk for signature.
The law restores an authority the
county enjoyed prior to 1948 when
it was repealed. allegedly by mis-
take.
Results of the scientific ap-
.praisals will be available to the
three assessors expected to be
named by Judge Walter T. Nc
Carthy soon after the governor
signs the reassessment measure.
Arlington officials are banking
on >the reassessment, first since
1946, to equalize tax values. Taxes
are paid on an assessed value
supposedly equal to 40 per cent of
property's fair market value.
Civic Groups Complain.
Officials and civic groups, how
ever, have complained that pres
ent assessments, particularly or
undeveloped land and apartment
developments, are not realistic.
Both Robert w. Cox, who wor
election to the board last Novem-
Der, and one Of his opponents
Basil M. DeLashmutt, declared
during the campaign that Airing
ton was losing much-needed reye-
nue. because of the assessments.
The board yesterday, for ex.
ample. agreed to pay IS cents a
square foot for a small parcel OF
land needed for right of way. The
land is assessed at 6 cents pei
square foot.
The current appraisal is re.
garded as the most thorough~the
county has ever had. The ap.
praisers actually are checking
building sizes with tape measures
In many instances they make in
terror inspections.
Data Will Be Made Public.
Although the contemporaries
assessors are not required to use
the data amassed by the ap-
praisers, it will be made available
to them, board member said
In addition, the appraisals will be
made public and later could easily
be compared with the assess
ments, the member stated.
Because the assessors will have
up-to-date information on all
property, 1t is expected they will
be able to complete their work
within the year despite the late
start.

cluded in the area.
Mr.. SaSscer recently led a dele
CATION of county citizens and civic
leaders before Deputy Postmaster
General Vincent c. Burke to pro-
test the change. Several county
groups had gone on record against
the change.
Mr.. Sasscer charged that extern
sion of the Silver Spring postal
territory into the county was
misleading" to the public. 1t also
would cause confusion as to
which county-Prince Georges or
Montgomery-would receive vari-
GUS State rebates based on popu-
lation, he added.

League Says Sothoron
Acts 10 Bar Home Rule
In Prince Georges

A proposal for sweeping
changes in the Prince Georges
County government was attacked
yesterday as an attempt to fore
stall the development Of a true
system of home rule"
The charge was made by the
directors of the County League
of Women Voters.
At the same time, the league
repeated its request to the county
commissioner to have survey
made Of the county's govern
mental setup.
The leagues criticism is aimed
at a bill introduced in the Cen
eral Assembly last week by State
Senator L. Harold Sothoron of
Prince Georges, q key figure In
the county's dominant Demo-
cratic organization.
Calls for Merit System.
The measures principal fea-
lures are the establishment Of a
merit system for county en-
ployes and a purchasing bureau
It also provides for a full-time
commissioner at a salary OF
$500 a year.
A hearing will be held before
the county's legislative delegation
at $50 pm. Friday in the State
House at Annapolis.
In a four-page typewriter
statement, Mrs. Reuben Bog
danoff. league president. described
the bill as "a sort of paternalistic
gesture from the county's rulers,
a form Of government which Mr..
Sothoron judges to be good for the
county"
"It is obviously true" she as
serted, that Mr.. Sothoron and his
fellow politicians are seeking
to stifle possible popular participa-
ton in the reorganization of the
county's political machinery -.
s'It is grievously false and mis-
leading to permit this change to
be put into effect under the name
of home rule. 1t was decreed by
the tightly-knit county political
organization and it is being put
through the General Assembly by
that organization with the princi-
pal purpose in view that the con-
troll exercised now In the county
be preserved"
Only by Charles
Home rule, according to Mrs.
Bogdanoff, can be accomplished
only through the drafting of a
charter form of government by
the residents of any county under
provisions of an amendment to
the State Constitution.
Such a government was adopt
ed by Montgomery County voters
in 1948.
Although Mrs. Bogdanoff avoid
ed coming out in favor of that
form of government, she did say
that what the county prince
Georges) needs is a chance to
work out its problems in the
process which the constitution of
Maryland so wisely affords"
She also charged that a full

time commissioner would become
a political boss in every sense
of the word"
"The only hope for the county, u
she contended, "is full-time pro-
fessional management, connected
only in terms of broad control
with the county commissioners
The commissioners could then be
political, as indeed they must
and the manager could get the
county's work done"
