two rooms in the Franklin

He was tentatively identified
by police as Spec. sc Harvey

Of Engineers.
Damage to two rooms and a
hall in the rear of the fourth
floor Of the eight-story struc-
ture was estimated to exceed
$4,000 by Fire Investigator

to careless smoking"

an amendment to exempt all

Delegate Toy D. Savage, jr.,
Of Norfolk, told the committee
the fundamental purpose Of his
bill is social one, rather than
religious or moral. However,
some of the persons who spoke
against the proposal attacked
the bill on grounds it was a
religious proposal and that it
diScriminates against some
persons.
Senator George S. Aldhizer
of Rockingham. who offered an
identical bill in the Senate,
asked the committee to move
ahead with the measure which
was amended before passage
by the House.
Mr.. Savage offered amend

Mrs. Roger D. Marshall, an

his views were his own.

the personal income in Vn-

Mr.. Gerber offered a FIVE

included a withholding tax on

An Unexpected Baby

BEL AIR. Md. Feb. 18 (AP) .
Mrs. Mary Catherine Cooper,
a 3S-year-old grandmother. had
been putting on a little weight
but otherwise had been feeling
all right.
Today. she unexpectedly gave
birth to a healthy six-pound
girl at her home in this north
eastern Maryland town.
The father. Oscar Leroy
Cooper, AZ. said he was "f1ab-
bergasted."
He said the only hint of the
pregnancy was that his wife
had gained some weight in the
past month.
But we thought that was

he added.
MIR. Cooper said his wife,
who has two sons. 10 and II
years old. had not been sick
until midnight last night.
Her husband took her to the
home of the family doctor, DR..
Gerald c. Palmer, who exam
ined her and found out what
was wrong.
The surprise birth was the
second reported in the Nation

Although teacher and PTA

peared little doubt that Gov.
Tawes will ultimately win the
battle.
The teachers association had
pressed for a pay program cost
ing three times as much as the
James bill, but they gave up
hope of getting that earlier this
week and backed a SO million

The compromise plan was
drafted by 25 legislators only

RICHMOND, Feb. 18.-Gov
Almonds sales tax today had
a reprieve-and possibly a par
don-from its executioner, the
House Finance Committee.
Administration leaders are
jubliant over a committee vote
taken last night, following a
31a hour public hearing, post
poning final action until 9 am,
tomorrow.
Their strategy all along has
been to drag their feet on sales
tax legislation until the full
impact of the Governors bud
get requests can sink in to the
people.
A deciding vote on the issue
had been freely predicted for
last night. The committee ap-
peared to be stacked 8 to 8
against the Governor on the
basis of a roll call on another
bill last week.
Indicated Thaw
Arlington Delegate William
L. Winston took the leading
role in breathing new life-at
least temporarily - into the
sales tax.
Mr.. Winston has maintained
a cool outlook towards such a
program but has indicated that
If no other way is found to
meet State needs, he may
thaw a little.
He said that amendments Of
fered by the administration to
its 2 per cent sales tax bill are
so far-reaching, committee
members should deliberate on
them. Delegates Robert White
head Of Nelson County. sup
ported this view.
On the other hand, one of
the most powerful figures in
the legislature, House Floor
Leader John Warren Cooke of
Matthews, attempted to force
a vote Immediately. claiming
that the minds of members al
ready were made up.
Delegate Cooke led oppo-

Committee Chairman C. K.
