.Virginions Hope
To Abolish Tax on
Personal Property
BY the Associoted Press

RICHMOND. Jan. l6. Two
Richmond area members of the
House of Delegates said today
they will introduce a resolution
soon calling for constitutional
amendment to abolish the tax
on household goods and personal
effects.
The tax has been subject to
widespread criticism as one that
is difficult to enforce. hard to
assess and consistently under
paid.
w. Griffith Purcell of Rich
mond and Joseph j. Williams. jr :,
Of Henrico. said they will pro-
pose constitutional amendment
as the only feasible method of
doing away with the tax.
Personal property taxes on
automobiles and similar possess
sions whose market value can
be determined readily would not
be disturbed.
Meanwhile State Senator
Harry c. Stuart of Russell
County today suggested a change
in the Byrd automatic income
tax reduction act which would
place tax reductions in a fund
for educational aid.
The amendment, now being
drafted. would have tax credits
accruing in the future placed
into an educational fund for
distribution to the localities.
This would replace the present
procedure in which the credits
are deducted from the income
taxpayers payments.

BY the Assoeio.ed Press

KHARTOUM. Sudan, Jan. 16.
The pro-independence Umma
Party and southern Sudanese op-
position parties today asked
Britain and Egypt to keep their
officials from visiting this coun-
try during its period of self
determination. They threatened
to take their case to the United
Nations.
The Sudan. long governed as a
British Egyptian condominium,
recently held its first parlia-

Gliding its own political future.
The leading party at the polls
was the National Unionists, who

visits by British and Egyptian
officials violate pledges by the
two countries to maintain a neu-
trail atmosphere in the Sudan

Lodge Must Register
As Red Front Group
Iy the As.oeiated Press

The International Workers
Order, Inc, an insurance and
fraternal organization claiming
100000 members. was ordered
yesterday to register with the
Justice Department as a Com
munist front.
The order was issued by the
Subversive Activities Control
Board at the request of the
Justice Department, which
moved for a default judgment
on the ground the order several
times had failed to appear in its
own defense.
The organization. which has
about 1,700 local lodges through
out the country. contended it
could not defend itself because
a New York State court had
denied it authority to retain
counsel.
1t was the boards first order
directing an organization to reg
ister as a Communist front
under the 1880 Internal Security
Act. The Communist Party it.
self has been ordered to register
but has appealed to the courts
to reverse the board and to de-
clare the act unconstitutional.
Registration proceedings have
been started against IL other
alleged communication groups
or Red fronts.
The IWO's charter has been
revoked by the New York State
Supreme court on the ground
1t was Communist dominated.
In New York. the TWO said
the boards order would be ap-
pealed to the courts.
