GreenbeIt Tax Rate
Cut Of Almost 5O06
Predicted by Mayor

Mayor Francis j. Lastner of
Greenbelt, Md, last night pre-
dicted a cut of almost so per
cent in the city's tax rate begin
ming January l
The current rate is $4.20 per
$100 asseSsable property.
Speaking at a public hearing
on the proposed Greenbelt budget
for 1854, Mayor Lastner said he
toresees "a rate next year of
between $2.25 to $3.50"
City Manager Charles T. Nc
Donald tempered the statement
by adding that city officials are
not yet in receipt of a Prince
Georges County statement show
ing the city's assessed value. a
figure that must be available
before an exact tax rate can be
set.
To Be Substantial"
But we are pretty sure we're
not far off in an estimated figure
of our own,' Mr.. Mcdonald said.
"The cut certainly will be sub
stantial."
The current high rate, officials
explain. was made necessary as
a result of the sale of the city
this year by the Federal Gov
ernment.
Two weeks "ago, the manager
presented recommended budget
for next year totaling 1929, ,866,
which the City Council later
pared to $307,566. Estimated ex-
penditures for the current year
are $309,59O.
Residents were assured of no
curtailment in their large public
service program.
Library Ruling.
In addition to approving con-
tlnued city support of large
recreation. public health. fire,
police and sanitation programs,
the council ruled against inte-
grating Greenbelt's public library
with that of the county.
The city now pays q county
library tax but must forego any
resulting benefits since it pro-
vides its own facilities.
Although several leading citi-
zens pressed for further budget
cuts in an effort to arrive at a
tax rate of 81, which they said
would aid in attracting industry
and home builders, the council
held that all possible cuts had
been made. The budget must be
passed by, December 81. The
next meeting of the council will
be held at 8 pm. Monday.

Motion 10 Dismiss
KeIIam Tax Case
Weighed by Court

Federal Judge Albert v. BRYAN
today had under advisement mo-
tions to dismiss part of the in
come tax evasion case against
Sidney S. Kellam. Virginia Demo-
cratic leader, and five other men,
Defense motions for dismissal
were argued before Judge Bryan
in Alexandria District Court yes
terday. Judge Bryan also heard
arguments on a Government mo-
tion for consolidation of the three
indictments involved in the case.
Mr.. Kellam, who was Cover
nor-elect Thomas Stanley's cam
paig manager at the time of his
indictment in October, and four
other defendants are charged in
one indictment with income tax
evasion in connection with oper-
alton of the Beach Taxi Service,
Inc, at Virginia Beach. The
other four charged in the eva
sion indictment are w. Russell
Hatchett, former town manager
of Virginia Beach; w. F. Hudg-
ms, former clerk of the Princess
Anne Circuit Court; H. A. Holt,
jr., former Virginia Beach town
councilman, and Frank l..
Gresham, operator of the taxi
cab service.
Accountant Also Accused.
The fifth defendant, Meyer l..
Goodman. Norfolk accountant.
is charged, in a separate indict-
ment, with aiding and abetting
the other four in the evasion of
income taxes. A third indict-
ment charges all six men with
conspiracy to evade income taxes.
The evasion indictment
charges that the taxicab firm
paid tax of $1O,568.29 when it
should have paid $32, 2,158.40 dur
ing the years of 1914 through
1947.
Defense attorneys argued that
the Government was barred by
the statute of limitations from
prosecuting any charges for 1914
through 1916. They contended
that the evasion case did not fall
within provisions of the Wartime
Suspensions Act. which permits
income tax prosecutions beyond
the usual six years.
Plot Charge Contested.
The defense attorneys also
asked for dismissal of the con-
spiracy indictment, arguing that
it was not possible to conspire
to evade taxes on income which
had not yet been collected at
the time the conspiracy was sup
posed to have taken place.
Attorneys William L. Parker,
Richard B. Kellam and D. A,
Adelasto, all of Norfolk, repre-
sent all QefenQanCS except Mr
Goodman.
Attorneys Louis and Max
Broudy, representing Mr.. Good
man, asked that their client be
given a separate trial. They said
he was involved only as the firm S
accountant. They said political
implications" had been raised
which might make it impossible
for their client to get a fair
and impartial trial jointly with
the other men.
United States Attorney L. S.
Parsons, jr., said similar circum-
stances were involved in all three
indictments and asked the court
to consolidate the case.
Judge Bryan has scheduled
trial for January 10.

Dock Workers Union
Given 80 Days More
To Gust Criminals

The AFL Executive Council
has given its crime e-ridden
international Longsnoremen's
Association an additional 80 days
to clean out persons with Grim
inal records or face expulsion
from the federation.
AFL President George Meany
said the council decided un-
animously yesterday that the
ILA's recent answer to its ulti-
matum of last February 3 was
unsatisfactory"
He said the union would be
given a hearing at the next coun-
Gil meeting in Chicago August
10. If the union still does not
satisfy the terms of the clean
up order, he indicated the coun-
Gil then would recommend ex-
pulsion to the AFL convention
in September.
President Under Indictment.
Evidence Of widespread crime
on the New York and New Jersey
water fronts involving officials
of the LILA was brought out by
investigations of a New York
crime commission and by a
Senate subcommittee. Joseph p.
Ryan, LILA president, is under
indictment on a charge OF mis-
using union funds.
The AFL council ordered the
union to abolish its "shape-up"
hiring method under which pier
bosses arbitrarily select the dock
crews; remove all officers who
had accepted gifts and bribes
from employers; remove all
representatives with criminal
records, and make local union
procedure more democratic. "
Complies on One Point.
Only on one point. Mr.. Meany
said, had the union come close to
complying with the order. That
was a decision Of its officers to
eliminate the "shape-up."
The council also authorized its
labor unity" committee to meet
with the CIO committee in an
effort to draw up a pact to
prevent membership raids by
unions Of the two organizations.
The AFL and CIO unity COM
mittees will meet here June 2.
Meanwhile, the council ap-
pointed three of its members to
recommend ways of eliminating
membership raids and jurisdic-
tional problems among AFL
unions, which are more numerous
than raids between the AFL and
CIO. The committee is made up
Of William Birthright. Charles
J. MacGowan and Dan w. Tracy,
vice presidents Of the fedora
ton.
