Arlington Realty Tax
Is Declared Due 3
Months Earlier in 81
By WiIIiom J. EIvin

A law passed by the Virginia
Assembly requires Arlington real
estate owners to pay their tax
bills by August IS, about three
and a half months ahead of pre-
vious years, Treasurer Colin
Macpherson said last night,
About 81 million will be due.
The treasurer said possible
legislation to move the payment
date back from the end of the
year had been under discussion
before the 1854 Legislature met.
Mr.. MACPHERSON said he had ex-
pected that the law. if passed.
would be only enabling legisla-
ton. allowing the county to
move back the date gradually
after this year. (
The County Board has called a
special meeting for 4::30 pm. to-
morrow to consider the problem.
Statute Is Mandatory.
The statute. special legislation
applying only to Arlington. is
mandatory. the treasurer said. It
was passed as an emergency
measure, and has been signed
by the Governor. It does not
apply to personal property taxes,
which will be due again this
year on December 5.
Delegate j. Maynard Magruder
said he questions whether the
law must 60 into effect this year.
since the process Of assessing and
otherwise preparing for tax col
lection has been going on for
many months. Mr.. Magruder
said he would write for an opin-
ion Of the Attorney General on
whether q S per cent penalty
must be added to real estate bills
unpaid by August Is.
The new law would add to the
5 per cent penalty 6 per cent
interest six months after August
IS.
Mr.. Magruder said Common
wealth's Attorney William j.
Hassan was in Richmond from
time to time checking on pro-
posed legislation affecting Arl-
ington.
The delegate added, II don't
for one moment relieve the Com
monwealth's Attorney and the
County Board from not being
acquainted and entirely convers-
ant with legislation affecting
Arlington County"
No Opinion Issued.
Mr.. HaSsan said the proposal
was never submitted to his office
but was handled by the County
Boards Interim Legislation
Committee and the delegation.
The Commemorative Attorney
added that he was not given any
opinion on whether the law is
effective this year.
Mr.. Macpherson said his Office
has. not yet been given lists of
assessments. Tax forms with
the December 5 due date have
been ordered, he said, but have
not yet been delivered.
Mrs. Kathryn Stone, another
member Of the Arlington delega-
ton, said Mr.. Magruder's bill was
co-sponsored by the other Ar
-lington delegates but lit cer-
tainly was not the intention Of
the delegation to force the treas
urer to do that this year."

In his capital budget recon-

County Manager E. T. Beall in

Mr.. Carroll said he believed
the additional funds would per-

Industrial Home Boy Builds
Derby Racer and Character

To race in the Washington
Soap Box Derby July 10 will
mean more to a 15-year-old en-
trant from the Industrial Home
School for Boys than to most of
the other boys in the race.
Jim Sidell," which is not his
real name, is q quiet, reflective
boy who doesn't say much but
who is good with his hands. He
entered last years race but be-
cause he'd built his car in two
weeks it wasn't good enough to
win.
But this year he'll be ready.
With the encouragement of
Frank Houghton, the schools in
dustrial arts teacher. Jim started
work on his car a month ago.
It's ready now for final covering
and steering adjustment.
Character Building Value.
The race is a very personal
thing for the boy. During al
most all of his childhood, he has
lived and worked in an instiut-
ton instead of a home. He has
followed rules and directions tai
lored for large groups of boys
and hasn't known the special
care or teaching of parents. Be-
cause of his unsettled early life,
he never kept up with his
studies and now he's several
years behind in his grades.
To such a boy, entering the
race, building car and racing
all on his own-present a chance
for self-recognition. And if he
won a couple of races, he'd be
somebody. Already, his coun-
selors report, he has gained con-
t1dence from building his car.
That's what the derby is for.
In it boys learn a sense of re-
sponsibility and fair play. They
learn that they can't always win
but serious effort makes them
better for it.

vided to operate the schools.

than it received this year.

Fight Is Looming
Over SWORD Change
In Atomic Measure
px n. A,,oelo,ed Pres,

A fight may be shaping up"
In Congress over a proposed
eight-word change in the law
giving more authority to the the
chairman Of the Atomic Energy
Commission.
Representative Price, Demo-
crat Of Illinois, member of the
Senate House Atomic Commit
tee. said yesterday he would cp-
pose the change because it
might be interpreted" as q
congressional go-ahead for 'one-
man rule" of the Acc. Repre-
sentative Holifield. Democrat
Of California, another commit
tee member, also has been
quoted as opposing it.
Representative w. Sterling
Cole. Republican of New York.
chairman of the committee, told
a reporter the issue was a
tempest in teapot" He said
the change would apply merely to
the Acc chairman the same
legal designation as the major
figure in the commission al
ready made in the case Of heads
Of other Government commits
sions.
Seeks Information Exchange.
The atomic committee is con-
sidering an omnibus atomic
energy bill virtually rewriting
the present law, primarily to
permit wider exchange of atomic
information.
Among several proposed Or
ganizational changes is a new
clause saying the Acc CHAIR
man shall be the principal officer
of the commission. The law
now gives him no distinction
from the other four members.
The proposed change has pro-
duced discussion and some dis
agreements within both the con-
gressional committee and the
Acc, Mr.. Price said. Some re-
ports have described angry ex-
changes behind closed doors in
the ACC.
Mr.. Cole said he knew moth
ing about these reports. He
added they may be the back
flash of something" done by
Lewis L. Strauss, present Acc
chairman who generally is re-
garded as a firm administrator
Credited to Oppenheimer,
The reports also 'conceivably
might have been generated by
some of CDR. j. Robert) Open
heimer's friends" Mr.. Cole
added. DIR. Oppenheimer, a nu-
clear physicist. has been denied
security clearance while his rec
ord is being re-examined on
loyalty grounds.
Mr.. Cole said he sponsored the
proposed new clause in the gen.
eral overhaul of the bill and
that Mr.. Strauss had nothing to
do with it. Mr.. Cole added. "I
don't know whether it is nee
eSSary."
1.-THE whole thing is a question
of personalities" he said. be-
cause a strong chairman might
not need a specific law to be-
come the dominant figure and a
weak chairman might be unable
to use it.
Mr.. Cole said he was "sure it
was only an oversight" that
omitted any such designation
from the present law. He said
he knew of no other commission
in which the law fails to say the
chairman is the major figure or
the spokesman for the group.
Mr.. Price agreed that some
chairmen are so designated. But
he said the present law elimi-
mated any such provision by de-
sign.
The issue, he said, Should be
fought out on the question of
whether you want a one-man
commission and not on a change
like this"

Trophies With q Past
Trophies WITH FdSt
New Virginia Gold Cup Made
OF Nuggets Mined in 7849
speeioI pispotch 10 me sfor

WARRENTON, Va, April "a.
When a field of the Nations
top timber horses goes to the
post next Saturday in the goth
Virginia Gold Cup race, a new
and distinctive trophy will be
the prize. It will be the fifth
trophy offered in competition
since the Warrenton Hunt orig
mated the, classic in 1922.
The fourth was retired last
year when Chris Greer. jr. of
Middleburg registered his third
victory with French-bred Ray
quick. This. too. was an unusual
trophy, once offered for eques-
trian skills by Catherine the
Great of Russia.
Also with an international
f1avor-and intriguingly yelled
in mystery-is the fifth Gold
Cup. It is solid gold, octagonal
goblet 10 inches tall and weigh
ing 19 ounces.
Made of Gold Nuggets.
1t is known that the cup was
made of gold nuggets mined
during the California gold rush
of 1849, and it is presumed that
the original order came from a
group of English sportsmen. The
engravingS, including the Ameri-
can eagle, Royal Arms Of Great
Britain, allegorical figures, rae
ing thoroughbreds, hounds and
game animals, with the word
California" inscribed on the
lower rim. give substance to this
theory. There is no evidence
that the goblet ever was offered
in competition.
Shortly after World War II
an American jeweler discovered
the trophy in a London pawn
shop and brought it home. It
was placed in the collection of
the Park Bernet Gallery in New
York and subsequently selected
by the Virginia Gold Cup COM
mittee.
Symbolically it is an admix-
ture Of the rugged pioneer spirit
and the mellowed English tradi-
ton that motivate the spirited
competition for the Virginia
Gold Cup, a purely sportsman's
race which offers no purse. The
trophy is now on display in a
Fourteenth street window of
Garfinckel's in Washington.
Retire Gold Cup.
Owners besides Greer who
have retired the Gold Cup are
Mrs. K. E. Hit, who won in 1922
with Irish Laddie, 1923 with
Oddity and 1925 with John
Bunny; Sumner Pingree, with
Melita II in 1882, The Prophet
in 1888 and again with Melita in
1884, and Mrs. Frank M. Gould.

Sunny Dale Surprises
Al Churchill Downs;
James Session Loses
By the A..oeio,ed Pres,

LOUISVILLE, KY. April "a
Sunny Dale, a 20-to-1 shot owned
by the Buddah Stable of st. Paul,
streaked home along the rail to
win the $4,000 Churchill Downs
Handicap today. His victory
stunned an opening-day crowd
of more than $4,000 as Churchill
Downs launched its 80th spring
meeting.
The Kentucky Derby-minded
fans who turned out on a sunny
afternoon to watch these older
horses run had backed the Hasty
House Farm entry of Pomace and
Torch of War down to 3 to 2.
But Pomace, winner of the
Phoenix Handicap at Keeneland.
couldn't get better than fourth
place in any part of the running.
The speedy Gala Fete, who
had lost to Pomace in the
Phoenix, jumped into the lead at
the start while Sunny Dale
Jagged far behind. Gala Fete
looked like a sure winner coming
into the stretch but Sunny Dale,
eighth at that point, unleashed
a terrific stretch kick under
Jockey P. j. Bailey and won by
nearly a length. Monpharo also
closed willingly to beat Gala Fete
by a neck.
Sunny Dale, who hadn't raced
since he won mile-and-a-quar-
ter race at Bowie last December,
sped the six furlongs in Ill. He
paid 1920, $3.50 and $3.50
across the board.
James Session, owned by
Betty Cradle and her husband,
Harry James, came in third in
an earlier race at six furlongs
which drew three other lightly
regarded Derby eligibles and one
non-eligible.
Tuosix, owned by Clifford Lus-
SKY OF LOUISVILLE, was the winner
in Ill. But Trainer Milt Reiser
indicated after the race that the
fleet son of Occupation wouldn't
run in next Saturdays Derby.
He said Tuosix isn't up to the
Derby mile and a quarter at
this time and probably would be
pointed for later classics.
Tuosjx caught the front-run-
ming Everett Jr. at the top of
the stretch and went on for a
length and a quarter victory.
The same margin separated Ev-
erett Jr. and James Session.
Mighty Ike was fourth and the
non-eligible, Joe's Crest. wound
up last.

race of about four miles will be
run has undergone some major

growth of excellent turf for

have been constructed on the
