"At first I was going to take him
along and drop him off at the pre-

have time to keep an eye on him
and on the woman and on the

not asleep. Once another car with
a couple in it drove up and he
got out and looked in it. They

car that brought the girl home

that their obligation as an asso-
citation is to see that the people

income had risen 76.5 per cent,
the price Of quart of milk had
gone only A 2 per cent.

Appeals Board Backs
Widow in Her Fight
Against Annuity Tax

The Board of Tax Appeals in a
test case today upheld a widows
appeal from an inheritance tax
levied by the District on her hus-
bands Civil Service retirement
fund which entitled her to an
annuity.
The board held that the city has
no right to such tax when the
Civil Service employe leaves his
widow an annuity equal to half of
that which he would have re-
ceived had he retired.
This is a provision of a 1948
amendment to the retirement law.
The boards opinion declared the
widows right to the annuity lis
not derived from her husband,
but is created by the law"
The case came up on appeal by
Mrs. Isabelle w. Caps, widow of
DR.. Stephen R. Caps, Geological
Survey geologist noted for his
Alaskan exploratory work. DR..
Caps died in January, 1949, at
the age of 81 while still in service.
He had been a Civil Service en-
ploye for more than Al years, and
at the time of his death he had
$9,30113 to his credit in the re-
tirement fund. This amount was
accumulated by deduction from
his pay and interest. He had no
children and his will left every
thing to Mrs. Caps. SO
Under the 1948 amendment,
Mrs. Capps became entitled to an
annuity of $2.256 for life. unless
she remarked. If the annuity
terminated by her death or remar-
riage before she had received a
total of $9,301.13 the balance
would be payable to DR.. Caps
estate.
The District assessor levied an
inheritance tax Of $253.99 on the
retirement fund.
The Tax Appeals Board, in de-
Gliding that no tax was payable,
held there was no probability there
would be any balance remaining
in the fund on Mrs. Caps death
and there was no way of calculat-
ing the probability of whether or
when she would remarry. Law
renee w. Koenigsberger is the sole
member of the board.

District Court Suit
Attacks Segregation
In Railway Union

A suit designed to do away with
racial segregation in local railway
unions was filed yesterday in Dis
trict Court.
Plaintiffs are three colored en-
ployes at the Baltimore g. Ohio
Railroads Camden warehouse and
freight shed in Baltimore who
contend they were denied men,
bership in a white local.
They assert they were informed
that they would have to join a
colored local Of the union repre-
senting their craft or face dis
charge. Such an alternative, the
suit states, is in violation of the
Railway Labor Act. The complaint
seeks both a declaratory Judgment
and an injunction. It names as
defendants the railroad and the
Brotherhood of Railway and
Steamship Clerks, Freight Han
dlers. Express and Station En-
lployes.
The three plaintiffs, James P.
Taylor, Howard Taylor and
Charles Blake, all of Baltimore,
said the suit is brought not only
in their own behalf, but in behalf
of other colored employees.
Attorney Joseph C. Waddy. who
filed the suit, said he believes
there are approximately 100 other
employees affected. He added that
the suit is sponsored by the Bal
timore branch of the National
Association for the Advancement
Iof Colored People.
The suit alleges that member
ship in the colored local of the
union would not afford the plain
tiffs the same advantages of rep
Iresentation as membership in the
white local.
