MorIowe Tomb Moy Yield
Secrets on Shakespeare

LONDON, July Z CNANA)-
One of the greatest literary con-
troversies Of all time-whethei
William Shakespeare really wrote
the plays attributed to him-may
be solved later this month.
Scholars around the world hav,
for many years debated whether
Shakespeare. an obscure mali
merchant and debt-collectol
from Stratford-on-Avon. really
wrote the worlds greatest plays
American theater critic and
writer Calvin Hoffman hopes tc
provide the answer by opening
the tomb of Shakespeare's con-
temporary. Christopher Marlowe
Elizabethan poet and playwright
Mr.. Hoffman hopes to find there
documents that win show con-
clusively that Marlowe was the
author of the plays.
Wrote Book On Mystery
Mr.. Hoffman is author of ''The
Murder of the Man Was Shakes.
peare.'" The book has aroused
considerable controversy and
strong criticism from orthodox
Shakespearean scholars.
Mr.. Hoffman has worked fol-
20 years to collect evidence that
Marlome wrote the plays. He
believes that the original manu-
scripts of the plays are buried
in the tomb Of Marlowe's friend
patron, Sir Thomas Walsing-
ham. The tomb is at Scadbury
Park in Kent.
He has been seeking permis-
sion to open the tomb for many
months but had been opposed by
the local vicar, Canon Lumb.
Canon Lumb recently died. how
eper. and Canon Machonocie,
the new vicar, is reported to be
sympathetic toward Mr.. Hoff-
mans plan for opening the
tomb.
Although other scholars have
noted the similarity between the
known works Of Marlowe and
the r1ayS of ShakeSneare Mr.
Hoffman alone has pursued this
similarity with q intense single
ness Of purpose which has
dominated his life for many
years.
Good Case for Marlowe
Mr.. Huffman claims to have
made out as good q case for
Marlowe as is humanity possible:

Taxes are probably of the most cussed and
discussed subjects in Montana and the nation In a
word, though expect an increasing number of
services from the various subdivisions of govern
ment, groan bitterly over having to pay the bill

Towards the end of the 1865 Legislature at
tempt was made to stir up enthusiasm for general
sales tax The bayhoo went out that such retro
gressive tax is necessary if Montana is to adequate
ly finance it's primary secondary and advanced edu-
cational programs.
Since the end of the session, certain spokesman
for major corporate interests including legislators,
editors, and others, have begun beating the drums
for sales tax-in earnest. They say if we are to
have enough for schools and other functions
of government, there remains but open
to obtain the funds-a general sales tax.
Are their arguments sound, or they inspired by
groups who have long welded tremendous influence
in the legislative halls to obstruct revision of
present tax laws to hinder the closing of numerous
loopholes in corporation license tax law?
Is this hue and cry for general sales tax new

of copper having gone up more than
