D. {. Tax Office Reports
Lao in Personal Returns

Washingtonians are slow in fl.
ing their personal tax returns
District officials said today.
Some of the lag is the result Of
a belief that Congress killed the
tax on household goods several
months ago. The matter was de-
bated in Congress at some length
but the tax was not eliminated
James L. Martin, acting assessor
for the District, says that, with
more than half the month passed
only 1850 tax returns have beer
filed. The District expects 73.40(
persons to file their returns this
month. When the bills are sem
out in September, SOS million il
returns is anticipated.
A 20 per cent penalty will bs
assessed against any one not filing
by July 81.

Senate Unit Meets
Today on New Plan
For D. {. Home Rule
By Don S. Worren

A Senate subcommittee was to
meet today to consider the latest
plan for an elected Washington
home rule government, but there
were suggestions it might defer
action temporarily.
The new compromise bill, drafted
by committee aides, was being put
in printed form today for the
first time. For this reason, it has
been suggested that action be de-
Ilayed until interested parties have
been given time to submit com-
lmentS.
Such parties would include wit
nesseS for various groups who had
testified for or against the Kefau-
ver- Neely-Taft bill, now bottled up
in the District Committee and for
which the new draft is offered as
IA substitute.
No Plan for Hearings.
The Home Rule subcommittee
lof the Senate District Commit
tee was scheduled to meet at 8
pm. today to decide what to dc
with the plan.
At present there is no plan fol-
further hearings. Some home
rule advocates have taken the view
that no further hearings are re-
quired, despite some major
changes in the new draft, because
the general subject already has
been thoroughly covered.
The subcommittee consists Of
Chairman Nicely, Senator Ke-
fauver, Democrat, of Tennessee
and Senator Case. Republican, oil

Criminal Justice
Association Finds
Lenieney in Courts

Pointing to a 400 per cent in
crease in narcotics indictments
here. the Washington Criminal
Justice Association has gone on
record for stronger sentences for
dope peddlers.
The association, in it's 18th an
nual report. combined praise for
the Police Departments high rate
of clearing crimes with cautious
criticism Of lenient sentencing by
District Court judges.
The report noted that maxi
mum sentences are seldom inn
posed and that tendency toward
lenient sentencing has created a
considerable amount of concern
that is reflected in efforts to
establish mandatory minimum
sentences in certain offense cate
gories."

Boiling Flyers
Killed in Crash;
Inquiiry0rdered
BIS Was Attempting
Emergency Landing
In Richmond Area
By the Associated Pres.

R1CHMOND, va, July H.
Three Boiling Air Force Base
flyers were killed yesterday when
their BIS bomber crashed in a
farmyard during an attempted
emergency landing few miles
from Byrd Airport.
The pilot, Capt. Herman l..
Valrod, "a. of 200 South Kens-
ington street, Arlington, Va, and
the co-pilot. LIST 1t. Bernard H.
Gass, 80, of Lynn. Mass. were
killed Instantly. The engineer,
Sergt. James A. Austin, 81, Of
Fountain Head, Tenn. died at
4:35 pm. at the hospital of the
Medical College of Virginia. about
an hour after the crash.
A board of inquiry was named
at Langle. Air Force Base to in
vestigate the crash. The cause
has not been determined.
The plane, with one engine
dead, skinned over tree tops
shearing off branches, and
plunged into a drainage ditch
near the home of D. P. Bond.
On Routine Training Flight.
The crippled plane clipped the
topmost branches of trees for q
mile and half before crashing.
Air Force spokesman at Boiling
Base said it was on a routine
training flight.
The plane broke apart when it
hit. One of its two engines re-
manned in the ditch. The fuselage
of the plane bounced across the
lot, struck a tree and grazed an
outbuilding.
Two bodies were tossed clear
of the wreckage about 100 feet
away. Lying on the ground 80
feet from the wreckage was a
pilots flight manual. 1t was
opened at page giving distress
instructions.
Dangling from the limb of a
tree near the crash scene was an
open parachute. Police said the
parachute apparently had been
thrown into the tree and had
opened after striking a jagged
limb. None of the dead flyers was
wearing a parachute.
Witnesses Describe Crash.
A. L. Hester, a witness, of Sand
Ston, said the plane narrowly
missed a dwelling as it sheared
off power lines before striking the
ditch. Mr.. Hester said he rushed
across the field and administered
first aid to two of the airmen.
Mrs, Bond, on whose farm the
plane crashed, was in the kitchen
OF her home baking cake.
Il was just putting it in the
stove" she said, when heard
that terrible noise outside. I
dropped the cake in the stove and
ran out the back door. Pieces of
the plane were tumbling in my
direction"
Survived by Wife and Son.
1t. S. d. Holloway of Byrd Field,
said the pilot was attempting an
emergency landing when the craft
plowed into the ground.
Capt. Walrod. the pilot, is sur
vived by his wife, Rose: a son
Richard, both of the Arlington
address, and his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Hiram r. Walrod of Dewitt
Iowa. He joined the Air Force in
1943, and during World War Il
was attached to headquarters OF
the Saith Troop Carrier Command

1t. Gass, the co-pilot, was un-
married. He was the son of Ma
