New Tax Opposed
In Upper Pohick

The Upper Pohick Community
League of Fairfax County is on
record opposing the county's
proposed new gross receipts tax
on businesses and professions.
By a unanimous vote. the
league adopted a resolution
Thursday urging the Board of
County Supervisors to reject the
tax in its entirety. The super
visors have scheduled a public
hearing on the tax January %.
The league said the proposed
tax was unfair class legislation"
and did not bear any relation
ship to net income, as Gistin-
guished from gross income. The
resolution charged that such a
tax would be detrimental to all
taxpayers in Fairfax County by
discouraging "taxpaying free en-
terpriSes from establishing in cur
county to share the burden"
The proposed tax would i'm
pose a sliding scale of license
charges on different types Of
businesses ana professions, SINH
lar to a tax in effect in Ar
lington, Alexandria and Falls
Church.

MONTREAL. Jan. 3 fP).-
Both sides in the Gripping Ca

early settlement.
About $4,000 workers were
idle today as result of the

bers of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen and Enginemen.
The strike is in its fourth day.
Edward Gloss. a union official
sent here from international
headquarters in Cleveland. Ohio.
said the brotherhood will con-
slider any suggestion for an
agreement provided there is no
sacrifice OF the unions basic
principles"
A CPR spokesman said the
company is ready to consider all
constructive suggestions.
There have been no commu-
nications between company and
union officials since a few hours
before the strike started Wednes-
day afternoon. No government
moves are expected before Par
lament reconvenes Tuesday.
In negotiations beginning last
February, the union demanded a
25 per cent wage increase, pay
for legal holidays. and time-and-
a-half for legal holidays worked.
These issues retreated from pri-
mary consideration after the
company proposed the gradual
elimination of firemen helpers
from diesel engines in yards and
freight service. A majority of
the Federal Cancellation Board
named to sit on the case sup
ported the company's stand on
this point.

He refused.
After court-martial in ia

able discharge and one year OF
hard labor for willful disobedi-
ence.
Chief Judge Robert E. Quinn
ruled the commanding officers
order violated the Uniform Code
of Military Justice, Article 81
of the code, which, like the Fifth
Amendment. declares no person
shall be compelled to incrimi-
nate himself.
I'VE appear to be taking a
step backward in denying to
the military services a valuable
and legal means Of controlling a
most despicable offense,' said
Judge George w. Latimer in
dissenting from the majority
opinion.
Judge Latimer said that for
an accused person to provide a
urine specimen requires passive
cooperation" and therefore is
similar to fingerprintS as evil
