Sales Tax Unit
Criticized as
'Overzeulous

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 4 R.-Ad-
ministrators of Maryland's sales
tax law were criticized yesterday
for being jealous.
Representatives of manufac-
turers complained they were 60
ing to squeeze every penny pos
sible out of it.
Walter F. Kennedy. chief of
the Retail Sales Tax Division,
argued on the other hand that
manufacturers have found a way
to eva6e the original intent to
tax their tools and like equip
ment.
The manufacturers at least
won a delaying action in the
debate before the Senate Finance
Committee.
Opponents aroused sufficient
doubt in the minds of the FL
nance committee TO nave them
schedule another hearing next
Wednesday. The House Ways
and Means Committee will sit in.
A decision has to be made
promptly because it will affect
the budget which Gov. McKeldin
must submit within the next 10
days.
The sales tax people estimate
the State may be liable for SIS
million in refunds to manufac-
tcrers if the Legislature doesn't
spell out that equipment. such as
patterns or dies, which is sold
after being used is subject to the
2 per cent tax.
The State has been collecting
it for the nine years of the sales
tax. But some concerns paid
under protest and early this
month the Court of Appeals ruled
that they did not have to nav il.

Fairfax Driver
SeriousIyHurt
In Train Crash

A Fairfax motorist was in
jured seriously yesterday when
his car was hit by a Southern
Railway freight train at an UNI
guarded Alexandria crossing.
The motorist. Henry M. Hill.
%, of Route 6. Alexandria, which
is in Fairfax County. was adj
mitted to Alexandria Hospital.
His kidney was removed in an
emergency operation.
Requested Signals
The crash occurred at 4::30
pm, at the South Van Dorm
street crossing of the main
Southern Railway line near the
Alexandria city limits. For
some time Alexandria and the
Franconia Citizens Association
have been trying to get warn
ing devices installed at the
crossing.
The engineer. Charles Bryant,
l16 Prince street, Alexandria.
estimated his train was travelling
40 miles per hour.
Mr.. Bryant told police he
sounded the whistle approx
mately 200 feet before he reached
the crossing. He said he saw
two trucks cross ahead of the
train from opposite directions.
and then saw the car driven by
Mr.. Hill behind one Of the
trucks.
Mr.. Hill, a Fruit Growers
Express Co.. employee, told police
he did not see the train.
Standard Crossing Sign
Kenneth Smith, Alexandria
traffic director. said the city had
been attempting to persuade the
railroad that more adequate
warning devices should be in
stalled al the crossing. The only
protection now is a standard
crossing sign.
About a month ago, Mr.. Smith
said. the Franconia Citizens AS
ISOLATION asked the city's help
in obtaining an automatic signal
device. Mr.. Smith said that I'M
der Virginia law. however, it is
necessary to show sufficient traf-
fic volume to require installation
of signal devices.

Stanley Bors
Extra Session
On Bond Sales

RICHMOND, Jan. 4 (PD.-An
investment bankers suggestion
that the Virginia General AS
sembly meet in special session
to bolster the States saRging
bond purchasing power. has been
turned aside as unnecessary by
Gov. Stanley.
Walter w. Craigie. head Of a
Richmond bond brokerage firm
made the suggestion yesterday.
Gov. Stanley said later that
while his idea may be desirable
I do not believe it of suf-
flcent Importance to call an
extraordinary session Of the Gen.
eral Assembly"
Some legislators believe that
Virginia's new laws to automati-
cally close and withhold State
funds from schools in localities
which may integrate classrooms
has had an adverse effect or
bond sales.
At present certain State funds
must be withheld from any
county that may default on a
bonded debt. Mr.. Craige sug-
gested. among other things. that
the special session extend the
law to cover cities and towns
as a further assurance to bond
buyers that their investments
in school financing would be
safe.
The Governor said he knew
of no instance of a Virginia
city or town defaulting in the
payment Of interest or principal.
1.-THE absence of the with
holding feature. with respect to
these political subdivisions, does
not In my judgment have any,
thing to do with present rates
Of interest on school bond is
sues" he said.
Gov. Stanley reiterated his
previously stated view that "the
tight-money situation and the
selective market as far as buyers
are concerned are the principal
factors affecting interest rates.

I never heard of him again"
Last summer, there was a

HE was here about three

Another young man was in
the room with him for a while,
and they got to talking.

said. "As a result of the talk,
the veteran is due to collect
