Tax Board Orders
Refund to PriOry

BOSTON - NC) - A decision
1of the Massachusetts State Appel
late Tax Board has ended a four
year dispute between the Domini-
can Fathers of the Province of ST.
Joseph and the town of Dover,
Mass. The board ruled that st. Ste
phen's Dominican priory in that
town was tax-exempt and ordered
an abatement of S14,301 for taxes
paid to the town by the Dominican
Fathers in 1852 and 1853.
In 1851 when the order con.
structed a 100000 dormitory for
its novitiate, Dover officials de.
manded tax payments on the
grounds that the dormitory was
used as a residence, not for "re-
ligious or educational purposes, Z"
and was therefore taxable.

and sent to the House two bills
dealing with obscene matter.
One measure prohibits inter.
state transportation of such

or vile article, matter, thing, de-
vice, or substance"
The existing definition is: every

mail matter containing any filthy,
vile or indecent thing, device or
substance"
Senator Estes Kefauver of Ten
nessee, who spoke in behalf OF
both bills, explained that redefin-
