Mrs. {. {. CarIin, Jr..
| Returns as Witness
Today in Estate Suit

Mrs. C. C. Carlin, jr.. was to
return to the witness stand in
Alexandria Federal Court today
after testifying that her broth
er-in-law. Keith Carlin. was
pleased with the share he re-
ceived of his fathers estate I'M
til it became apparent that stock
in the Alexandria Gazette was
valuable.
Mrs. Carlin's husband holds a
majority of the Gazette stock.
She was the first defense witness
called yesterday in Keith Car
Inns suit to invalidate terms of
settlement for the estate of
/ c. C. Carlin. ST.. Gazette owner.
who died in 1898. Keith Carlin
accepted a half interest in a
Washington apartment house as
his share of the estate.
Trust Fund Big Factor.
Keith Carlin and c. c. Carlin,
jr., are the only sons Of c. c..
Carlin. ST., who once represented
nearby Virginia in Congress. The
current suit was brought by
Keith Carlin and members Of
his family against c. c. Carlin,
jr., his first wife. who now is
Mrs. Sara Bayol Taylor. and
their oldest daughter. Sara Per-
rine Carlin.
The principal issue Is when
Keith Carlin first learned that a
Gazette stock trust fund for
Sara Perrine Carlin was supposed
to be phony. He contends he ex-
Guided Gazette stock from con-
sideration in settling the estate
because he believed much of the
stock was put in a trust fund for
Sara Perrine Carlin by c. c.
Carlin, sr.. before his death.
Reiterating testimony he gave
on the opening day of the trial
Tuesday. Keith Carlin insisted
again yesterday he did not know
the trust fund was supposed to
be false until May, 1851. He said
c. c. Carlin. jr.. told him, on
that occasion, that he concocted
the whole trust idea and issued
the trust fund stock without
authority.
Testimony Challenged.
Mrs. C. C. Carlin, jr.. chal-
lenged Keith Carlin's testimony.
She said the main topic Of con-
versation" between the two
brothers in l945 was whether
c. c. Carlin, jr., had been able
to have the invalid trust set
aside. That was after c. C. Car
lin. jr., had remarked and he
became concerned over the fate
of the trust fund stock. In
1949. when Sara Perrine Carlin
reached 81, she sued her father
for possession of Gazette stock.
She was awarded 1900 shares
and c. C. Carlin, jr.. held the
remaining 1900 shares. Sara
Perrine Carlin subsequently sold
her stock for $l15,00O. It is now
owned by Mardel, Inc, a New
York newspaper investment
firm.
The suit is being heard by
Judge Sterling Hutchinson.
Awaiting outcome of the current
litigation is a suit in Alexandria
Corporation Court by Mardel,
Inc. against C. c. Carlin. jr., de-
manding an accounting of Ga
zette expenditures. Trial of that
suit has been held up because
Mardel's ownership of Gazette
stock might be challenged if the
Sara Perrine Carlin trust is in
validated.

BroyhiIt Hits
House Inactioni
On School Aid
Recalls Promise
To Provide Funds
In Lieu of Toxes

Representative Broyhill, Re-
publican, of Virginia, asked the
House today to honor it's promise
by appropriating the funds nee
eSsary for additional school con-
Struction in areas where schools
are affected by large Government
establishments.
During a floor debate on the
third supplemental appropriations
bill, Mr.. Broyhill said the House
Appropriations Committee ig-
nored the Governments reSpon-
Sibility and a congressional
pledge to give relief to these
areas. He said the bill does not
include l cent for school needs
in areas of large Government
establishments.
May I remind the House, |"
Mr.. Broyhill said, that these
communities are denied millions
OF dollars in tax revenues be-
cause the Federal Government is
a free loader'-because it squats
on otherwise taxable land and
refuses to pay taxes"
Biggest Tax Evader.
He said Uncle Sam is the big
gest tax evader in the United
States"
Mr.. Broyhill pointed out that
Arlington County, in his 10th
district. has one-Sixth of its land
area. representing As per cent of
its total assessed value, owned or
occupied by the Federal Govern
ment.
That means. he said. that
nearly one-half of the property
value of the whole county is pro-
ducing no taxes.
In the face of this, he added,
over so per cent of the children
attending schools in Arlington
County have parents working for
the Federal Government. This
percentage. he said. holds good
for the entire 10th district.
IF we were able to collect
taxes on the land now occupied
by the Government" Mr.. Broy-
hill said. I'VE would be in a DO
sition to adequately house our
school population. Instead, it
is necessary to adopt makeshift
measures by doubling up class
rooms" en
Mr.. Broyhill said the situation
will become 'intolerable" unless
Congress honors its promise to
assist school construction in
Federally impacted communities.
Details Further Growth.
He said the Arlington school
population. now 10000. will
reach $4,000 by 1860, and that
Alexandria, with more than TO-
600 school children now. will
have $4,000 in schools by 1860.
He said Falls Church will
double its school population. by
1860, and that Fairfax County,
with $4,000 students, will have
a population of $4,000 school
children by 1860. He said 5000
Fairfax County school children
now are inadequately housed.
Mr. Broyhill said the comuni-
ties in his district have done
everything possible to provide
proper educational facilities by
floating large bond issues.
1--WE are not asking for hand
outs" he said. 1--WE are asking
that Uncle Sam stop welching on
obligations which Congress rec
ogniZed as just obligations and
agreed to meet"
Mr.. Broyhill said that out of
$113 million requested for Fed
eral school aid throughout the
Nation. Northern Virginia schools
would receive $3.5 million.

Although he refused to divulge

for great reduction of real estate
taxes.
Last year." he said, "72 cents
Of every dollar the county COL
lected in taxes came from the
real estate levy"
The manager deplored such a
burden on the property owner
Just because he owns land" and
called for raising funds from
"non-property sources"
Mr.. Jones told the group the
extensive widening of Bradley
boulevard and River road in the
Bethesda area will be completed
before 1858 as part of the
States 12-year road building
program.
In the same four-year period
he promised completion of that

All u. 5. Servicemen
To Get Flu Vaccine

American servicemen through
out the world will be immunized
against influenza under the new
policy announced today by the
Defense Department.
Vaccine will be administered
prior to November Is, before the
onset Of the usual winter respira-
tory diseases. Those entering the
services after that day and be-
fore next March Is will be given
the vaccine as soon as possible
after induction.
Last year only troops in over
seas command were immunized.
In earlier years vaccine was ad-
ministered after the first cases
Of influenza were detected. But
this year the surgeons general
Of the Army, Navy and Air Force
agreed on the immunization of
all personnel before cold weather.
A modified vaccine incorporating
a recently isolated virus strain
will be used.
The Department said the de-
cision was based on experience
showing that effective protection
against influenza can be expected
only when the vaccine is given
in advance Of the usual respira-
tory disease season.

Mr.. Palamas told a reporter
that his delegation would not

Is Urged 10 Outlaw
Telephone Wire Taps
BY the Assoeioted Press

A Senate Judiciary subcom-

eralize use of telephone wire taps
has been urged instead to outlaw
all such activities.
The CIO, Americans for DEM
ocratic Action, the American
Civil Liberties Union and the
Friends Committee on National
Legislation called yesterday for
an outright ban on wiretapping
as an invasion Of civil rights.
The AFL gave limited support
to the bill, sought by Attorney
General Brownell, which would
permit use of evidence gained by
wiretapping in Federal court
trials Of cases involving espio-
mage, sabotage and treason.
HOuse-PaSsed Provision.
Andrew ]. Biemiller, a member
Of the AFL National Legislative
Committee, urged. however. that
the Senate retain a House
passed provision. opposed by Mr..
Brownell, that would require ad-
vance approval. by a Federal
court before a wiretap could be
made. He asked also for ban
on use of wiretap information
already obtained, and an out
right prohibition against any
wiretapping not specifically au-
thorized under the pending bill.
The CIO, in a statement filed
with the subcommittee, said
wire-tapping is offensive to our
concept of fair play and invades
the security of the individual
It asked that present law be
changed $50 that it will pro-
hibit in so many words the act
of making the tap, with adequate
penalties for violation :"
Civil Liberties Union Objects.
James L. Fly, speaking for the
Civil Liberties Union, said that
organization has always opposed
overlapping "as destructive of
personal liberties" and as
preaching "all the confidential
relations protected by our demo-
cratic system"
He said if Congress feels it
must adopt a wire-tapping bill,
the practice should be confined
to Federal officials in national
security and kidnapping cases,
and should be permitted only
with advance approval of Fed
eral judge.
The Friends group was repre-
sented by William A. Rahill, a
Philadelphia attorney. He asked
approval only of a bill to pro-
hibit all wire-tapping.
