RICHMOND. Feb. 17.-An
all-out battle to launch a 2 per
cent sales tax in the General
Assembly will be made today
by Gov. Almonds forces, who
have made radical changes in
his original program.
The new plan would give the
State $61.7 million in addition
al revenue.
Localities would get back so
per cent of the net proceeds of
the sales tax, or slightly more
than $39 million within the
next two years.
There would be no relief for
income tax payers, as originally
planned.
Groceries and prescription
drugs would be exempted.
Liquor prices would be in
creased by 10 per cent.
Merchants collecting tn e
proposed tax would not be
credited with the 3 per
cent commission" contem-
plated under the original bill,
but they would benefit by some
$15.3 million by repeal of the
license tax they now pay.
These were the amendments
offered today by Chairman
c. H. Hutchens of the House
Finance Committee to the 2
per cent sales tax bill offered
by the administration as an
alternative to the Governors
original 8 per cent measure.
A final" public hearing on
all sales tax legislation was
being held this afternoon.
When the Legislature con-
vened January 13, Gov. Al
mond submitted a 3 per cent
sales tax plan which would
have netted $97.6 million to

meet what he regards as es-
sential needs of the State.
The Senate Finance Com
mittee killed that bill before
administration supporters could
prepare amendments they
hoped would make it more
palatable to opponents, led by
State Senator Harry F. Byrd,
jr., of Winchester.
An identical 3 per cent bill
plus a 2 per cent alternate bill
now are before the House
Finance Committee, as we'll as
another 3 per cent sales tax
measure by Delegate Sam Pope
of Southampton County.
Administration forces appear
to have abandoned all hope of
getting approval of a 8 per cent
measure and today showed will
ingness to compromise the
smaller tax measure by Offer
ing new amendments.
Arguments involving States
rights and integration are
among the issues being weighed
today by legislators studying
bills to tighten the States bill
board laws.
The billboard measures by
Delegates Tom Frost of War
renton and Robert Y. Button
of Culpeper would restrict out
door advertising along Federal
interstate highways. With few
exceptions no signs would be
permitted within $50 feet of
interstate highway rights of
ways.
Arlington Delegate Harrison
Mann, one of the chief propo-
nentS of the legislation, told a
public hearing yesterday that
Virginia would get between $6
million and 81 million in extra
revenues If a law is enacted
to meet minimum Federal
standards.

Plans Drawn
For'FIogship'
On New Pier
BY GEORGE BEVERIDGE
Star STAFF Writer

A displaced Southwest water
front restaurant owner today
gave the Redevelopment Land
Agency sketches of a new res
taurant proposed to be built on
a giant pier in the Washington
Channel at the foot of M street
and Maine avenue S.W.
However. Coleman A. Mahan,
jr., an owner of the Flagship
Restaurant, said his willingness
to go ahead with the project
would depend entirely on a So
luton to serious traffic access,
construction and parking prob
lens.
AS tentatively designed, he
said, the new structure would
have eating facilities for 500
persons with expansion room
for another 400-making it the
largest restaurant in Washing
ton.
Mr.. Mahan's firm has oper-
ated two Flagship Restaurants.
One now is being torn down in
the Municipal Fish Market
area on the waterfront. The
other, still in operation at
Maine avenue and Tenth street,
will be demolished later in con-
nection with the re-routing of
Maine avenue.
Keyed to Pier Work
The restaurateur said his
proposal is based on the hope
that the new pier area can be
made available in time for
completion Of the new build
ing before construction of the
new Maine avenue requires
demolition of the existing
restaurant"
RIA officials said they felt
this condition was possible to
meet.
Mr.. Mahan expressed interest
In the pier idea last November
and the RIA gave him six
months in which to submit a
sound proposal. The informal
meeting today was to present
preliminary sketches of the de-
velopment.
In their presentation to RIA
officials, Mr.. Mahan and his
architect, Mrs. Choethiel Smith,
took a dim view of the prob
lens ahead.
"NOt Insurmountable"
Afterward, however, they
agreed with John R. Searles,
jr., RIA director, that the
problems are not insurmount-
able" Mrs. Smith said they
were no more difficult" than
some already worked out in
other parts of the complex
Southwest Redevelopment
Area.
The proposed new Flagship
is a two-level building to be
built entirely over water. To
its basic seating capacity of
500, 1t would have private
rooms to seat $50 and
outdoor terrace facilities for
another $50. 1t would be
reached by a private drive from
Maine avenue and would have
about 300 underground park
ing spaces.

MOSCOW, Mar. 3 (AP).-
The Soviet Union announced
yesterday it has reinforced its
Arctic feet and is setting UP
more research stations in the
North Polar region.
The official news agency lass
reported two new Soviet expedi-
tons will work in the Arctic
this year.
1t said the northern route
linking the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans by way of the Arctic
seas will become a great traffic
lane in the next seven years.
One new expedition will in
stall a research station on
Novosibirskie Island and relieve
explorers manning Russia's
drifting North Pole-8 station,
Tass said.
The second will establish Is
automatic radio weather sta
tons on ice foes in the Polar
Arctic basin.
TaSs quoted Vyacheslav Fro
Low. director of Leningrad's
Arctic and Antarctic Institute,
as saying Russia's network of
more than 100 Polar weather
and radio stations has acquired
immense Importance.
The Soviet northern feet
has been considerably rein
forced with diesel electric
ships and new icebreakers" and
other ships, TasS said.

The hot weather and a lack
of embalming facilities made

Rescue Planes Busy
United States and French
rescue planes roared overhead
on mercy missions in and out
of the French air base Just
outside the stricken city. The
single runway was crowded
with planes bringing in food,
medicines and rescue equip
ment.
United States Navy and Air
Force planes evacuated about
300 injured yesterday to hos
pitals scattered over Morocco.
French military planes prob
ably carried as many, but the
French gave no figures.
Despite the reinforcements,
the rescue job remained stag
gering. Three-fourths of the
European quarter of Agadir and
90 per cent of the Moroccan
section were RACED by the two
shattering quakes.

His book is being published to-

The photograph. Mr.. An

worked up from separate pic

The hand was grated on by

was a contract the late Presi-

come a contributing editor

The Hoover-Curtis picture

it, was born of desperation in

the streets spraying rubble with

Crown Prince Moulay Hassan
ordered "all living souls to be
evacuated from Agadir." He
also ordered demolition of
damaged houses in accordance
with a cabinet decision.
LodSi speaker trucks rolled
through the streets calling for
those who remained in homes
with cracked walls to leave
them. Moroccan troops were
ordered to rae these damaged

Water Supply Cut OF
Turbaned Moroccan soldiers
were ordered by the Crown

cleared the city of corpses and
cleaned the rubble away so
that morale would not sag too

Water trucking from burst

Because of the continued

precautions were being taken.
Masked Marine rescue teams

On January Is, 1859,
the feast of the CONVEX
sion of St. Paul and the
final day of the Chair of
Unity Octave, Pope John
XIII announced the convo-
cation of a new General Coun-
ell of the Catholic Church.
Known as the Second Council
of the Vatican it will be sum.
moned in 1862 or 1868.
IT WILL BE THE first gen.
eral council since 1870 when
revolutionistS broke up the
(First) Vatican Council before
it adjourned. The coming
Council may be the largest
and most important in the
history Of the Church. Its bus
mess, in part, will deal with
the tremendous question of
Christian Unity.
Pope John is especially con-
cerned with the gigantic task
of uniting those who are sep
arated from the Holy See.
Nearly every papal address
refers to this longing of his
heart, the return of those who
are in religious error. Well
does he merit the title OF St.
Ambrose for the Pope "the
Vicar of His love" - for Pope
John reflects the charity and
kindness of the Good Shep-
herd longing to welcome the
'other sheep in the one and
only fold.
RECENTLY OUR Holy Fa-
Their wrote a special letter
on the Chair of Unity Octave
addressed to the Father Gen
eral of the Friars of the
Atonement. His Holiness ask
ed that the Octave be obServ-
ed as widely as possible
throughout the world "espe-
cially in view of the forth
coming General Council, dur
ing which it is hoped that Our
separated brethren may be
