Richmond Paper
Opposes Bon on
Invited Negroes

RICHMOND, Va, April 16 up.
The Richmond Times Dispatch
suggested editoriially today that
both white and colored" should
be invited to any dinner for
eminent Virginians now living
outside the State.
In referring to the fact that
three Virginia. born Negroes have
received invitations to a State
Chamber of Commerce dinner
here May II. the editorial said
their inclusion would be in the
Virginia tradition Of hospitality
and interracial amity, and would
evidence the desire Of white Vir-
ginians TO pay tribute to their
colored fellow citizens who have
left the State and made their
smark."
1T appears that (. two native
Virginians intend to come. unless
the Governor himself tells them
f, not TO, the editorial said.
I'VE have. then, the prospect
OF an extremely embarrassing
situation here on the night Of
May II. unless there is a quick
. backtrack on the part of the
chamber, and unless these COL
ored Virginians are told to come
to the dinner to which they we're
invited.
Wholly aside from this, 1t is
entirely possible that one or more
other Negroes who may have
been sent invitations inadver-
tently by the chamber will also
appear, bearing their invitations
and asking to be admitted"
The editorial said II any such
Negroes were refused admission

pitality will get a black eye
from which they may never

as distinguished natives Of Vir-
ginia, the editorial said. and

A budget plan for payments
Of Montgomery County taxes
was proposed today by County
Finance Director Alex K.
Hancock.
The plan calls for the issuance
OF tax anticipation certificates
in denominations Of $40, $25,
$50. 500 and $500.
Mr.. Hancock sees his program
as the answer to those residents
who repeatedly request permits
sion TO pay taxes in INSTALL
ments.
The finance director said that
installment billing means de
layed payments" and would re-
quire revision Of State laws.
Value Lifted Monthly
Under his proposal. the tax an
ticipation certificate would be re-
deeniable in cash at only face
value, but would increase in
value monthly at a rate of about
one-haif per cent II used for
payment of taxes
Mr.. Hancock said a resident
who split his anticipated tax bill
into II equal installn1ents and
bought the tax anticipation GER
tificates monthly from March
through January would see pen
alties on late payments Of taxes
in February about Offset by the
interest the certificates would
build up. Unpaid tax bills are
penalized one-half per cent a
month after October / and be-
come delinquent March /.
The certificates would be sold
at the County Office Building
across the counter and at banks
If they would cooperate in the
program, Mr.. Hancock said. They
would be sold in every month
but February.
Less Cost Seen
Mr.. Hancock believes his pro-
gram would not be costly as
would the installment billing
proposed by some residents. He
added he does not feel it would
penalize taxpayers who choose to-
budget their tax payments.
The finance director had pro-
posed a similar program to a
previous council which rejected
1t because it felt there was not
enough demand for the scheme.

or the matter can be presented

During the Senate crime in

had been torn from the check
books.
After deducting Mr.. Barrett's

$4,000 year salary as police

he had spent Sl7.400 more than
they could account for.
Among the expenditures were
