Lewis added thai he had seen

II he could get back In the service
he would ''pay for it."
Judge Youngdahl said: "You
are not going to get back in the
service. You will have quite a
period OF. time to think, about
this"
Sentenced on 8 Counts.
The Judge sentenced Lewis to
8 to Is months on each of the
eight counts in the seven cases
before him. In the Pearson case
alone there were two counts.
Thus, in that case the sentence
was from ! to 3 years.
Police went to, extraordinary
means to trap Lewis last winter
because OF. the vicious nature Of
repeated crimes Of a prowler who
became known as the Phantom
Bandit" He was arrested while
attacking one Of the victims.
Lewis was quoted as admitting
he crept up behind his victims
and beat them to prevent them
from getting a good look at him.

: In former years Mr.. Pearson
built q precise scale model Of a
subchaser which won first prize
at a hobby show at the gun
factory. Before he lost his eye.
he had completed the hull and
masts for the Flying Cloud.
Recently he was trying to fig
ure how he could drill the tiny
holes and knot the intricate
rigging of the Flying Cloud with
a single eye.

Licensing of PinboN Machines
In Prince Georges Is Defeated

A proposal t6 make pinball
machine, operators in Prince
Georges pay a license fee was
defeated yesterday when the
county commissioners were
deadlocked in a 2-to-2 vote.
Their chairman was out Of
town. =.
The result was at least a tenn
porary victory for the machines
operators.
And it was both a victory and
a defeat for speakers in the au-
dience who wanted to make the
operators pay, but wanted the
fee to be a lot more than the
$12 a year provided in this
measure.
y A delegation from the county
chapter of the Women's Chris
tian Temperance Union de-
manded the tax be made so
high it would drive pinball ma
chimes out of the county.
But Albert r. Hassall, a mem
ber of House Of Delegates, who
appeared in behalf of pinball
owners, said-between bursts Of
derisive comment from the au-
dience-that pinball operators
have taken such a beating re-
Gently they cannot afford any
new license fees for at least "a
year or so until they can get
on their feet"
Hardships Cited.
= Among these hardships. he
said, were the losses resulting
from a ban on slot machines
which prevented owners from
using them, and another ben on
interstate shipments which pre-
vented the owners from selling
them to recoup some of their in
veStment.
Mrs. James Severe, 1909 Far
ragut street, Hyattsville. a WCTU
leader, declared pinball machines
are "insidious part of the
propaganda from those who wish
to break down the morale Of
America"

there are only some 400.
Citizens Defended.
And Commissioner Edward
J. (Nedl Waters asserted that
he thinks the owners in this
county are fine, outstanding,
good American citizens" rather
than dupes for a Red plot.
Mrs. Marian N. Ament, of
5083 Temple Hills road, Temple
Hills, not a WCTU member,
wanted to know if the license
measure would give the county
any control over the machines.
Mr.. Lancaster said the coun-
ty would be able to prevent "Chi-
cago gangsters," and such types
from operating pinballs in Prince
Georges.
Mrs. Ament then wanted to
know If there would be a hear
ing on each individual license
application. Mr.. Lancaster said
that would not be necessary.
And Commissioner Waters added
that he knows almost everyone
in the county who would apply
for a pinball permit.
Mr.. Waters and Mrs. Fannie
c. Spicknall voted to approve
the measure. Everett Marion,
acting chairman, wanted the de-
cision delayed until Chairman
Thomas Latimer could be pres
ent. Mr.. Marion and Commis-
Sioner Daniel Abbott voted

taxes on a semi-annual or quar-
terly basis to avoid losses in
revenue from new residents has
been proposed by a candidate for
the Democratic nomination to
the Virginia House of Delegates
from Fairfax County and Falls
Church.
Richard E. Stands offered the
suggestion last night at a can
didateS' meeting sponsored by
the Fairfax Civic Federation and
the Fairfax and Falls Church
League Of Women Voters.
Other House candidates for
the two~available seats are Guy
M. Bayes, Omer L. Hirst and
John c. Webb. They, along with
State Senator Charles r. Fen
wick, one Of two candidates for
Governor, also spoke.
Too Much Hospitality.
Mr.. Stands classified present
law. which allows new residents
to escape local property taxes for
periods up to a full year, as
Southern hospitality reduced
to an abSurdity."
"Under the present tax sys-
tem," he said, "taxes on property
are assessed as Of January / of
each year and persons who move
into the State or build improve
ments after January may
escape all local property taxes for
that year :. Transients, often
times, move on without ever hav-
ing paid any taxes locally. It's
nice to be gracious to people
moving to the State but we
should at the same time be fair
to ourselves and need not carry
Southern hospitality to that ex-
treme."
Mr.. Webb re-emphasized his
neutrality in the gubernatorial
contest between Mr.. Fenwick and
Thomas B. Stanley, who did not
attend the meeting.
my position during this cam
paign. "he said," is best summed
up by the words of Pogo, my

Mr.. Bayes called, in general,
for improved public transporta-
ton co-ordinated with the other
systems in this area"
He said the State needs to cor
rect the gross inequities" of the
tax distribution system" which
costs Fairfax and Falls Church

Final, Fatal Blow Dealt Against
 Federal Sales Tax

WASHINGTON, R - House Speaker Joseph w. Martin R- Mass appeared Tuesday to have delivered a final, fatal blow against any prospect that Con- gress would enact a general sales tax next year.
 Martin, returning from two- month tour abroad, told a news conference Monday he doubts a sales tax could pass the House.
 That made it just about unani- nous among House leaders on both sides of the aisle.
 Democratic leaders, after can- vass of sentiment, predicted last week that 95 percent of their party members would vote against any national sales tax. And Re- publican Floor Leader Charles Halleck R-Ind joined the anti sales tax forces over the weekend.
 Reps. Jere Cooper of Tennessee and Daniel Reed of New York the senior Democrat and senior Republican, respectively, on the tax writing House Ways and Means Committee-also have op- posed the idea.
 Martins statement, climaxing an almost solid show of opposition from both parties, touched off speculation that the Eisenhower administration now would aban- don further consideration of the tax.
 Secretary of the Treasury Humphrey has said he is consid- ering a general manufacturers sales or excise tax, along with other proposals. President Eisen- hover has spoken out against federal retail sales tax, but left the door open to manufacturers level tax. ...-.

Hope Seen For Of Alaska's Timber

WASHINGTON, lR - The chief of the Forest Services timber management division voiced hope Tuesday for a. new program for development of Alaska's vast tim Der stands.
 Ira Mason, just back from trip to the Pacific Northwest, said the impetus could come from any one of three groups which have pro- posals for moving into the north ern territory
 The president of one of these groups-an organization of Jap 'aneSe lumbermen-iS to arrive in the United States Dec. g, Mason said, and is expected in Washing ton a short time later, presumably to go into further detail on the Japanese plans.
 Mason said he met with officials of the other two groups as an in cidental part of his northwest trip. They are the Georgia Pacific Co.,, which wants to build a $54,174,- 09O newsprint plant near Juneau, and the Pacific Northern Timber Co. of Portland, Ore, which pro- poses a S4,5O2,57O sawmiH near Wrangell, Alaska.
 Asked if it appeared likely that any Of the three projects would jell within the next 12 months, the Forest Service spokesman had no direct answer.
 ''None of them is to the point where it is assured, but all of them are being worked on," he replied.
