Speaking of taxes.

Some people don't even like to think about taxes.
Not so PEPCo. We're proud of the role our taxes
play in providing essential public services. In
1861, PEpco paid local, state and Federal taxes
totaling $17,9S6,0OO of which $8,O84OOO were
paid to state, city and county treasures.
Some of the things this large sum of money
brings are Immediately apparent new schools
you see going up, the new highways, the extra
fire and crime protection. Others-ike national
security and development, while not so readily
obvious, are just as real and important. And tax
payments are just part of PEPCo's benefit to the

Health

Sterilization - Persons who
want to stop having children
even those who don't want any
can for the first time have
a sterilization operation per-
formed legally. In discussing
the law, it was mentioned most
frequently as applying to wom-
en-, but it applies equally to
men. Voluntary sterilization for
other reasons also is permitted.
but the surgeon must consult
at least one other physician,
the person must wait at least
80 days and the operation must
be performed in a hospital reg
iStered in Virginia.
Old Age - If you are IS
years old or older and not al
ready on relief, you may qualify
for disqualification, doctors and
medical expenses if you can
show a need for assistance over
your everyday living expenses.
The Assembly made this posi-
BILE by implementing the Fed
eral Kerr-Mills Act. The level
of need and standards to be
met are yet to be set by the
State Department of Welfare
and Institutions. The program
is financed by IS per cent Fed
eral funds, % per cent State
and the balance locally.
BARRIERS and beauticians -
The next time you get your
haircut or your hair set, it may
be by a person who has had to
register with the State and pass
certain health and ability tests.
The law will apply to those
going into these businesses in
the future-not those already in
business. Also, local health de-
partments may impose require
ments more rigid than the
State, which will have to be
met.
Mental prObIems-If you live
in Northern Virginia you live
in an area where the living
pace has been responsible fo1
an extra heavy load of mental
hospitals. A start toward re-
lieving this load was made first
with the $150,000 to plan for
a SIS million mental hospital
for Northern Virginia. If you
are stricken i'll, mentally, your
chances of recovery will be bet
ter, doctors say, if your condi-
tion permits you to live at home
and be treated as an out-pa-
tient-something not now pos
sible if you are sent to Western
State Hospital, the closest
mental hospital-at Staunton.

dollar annual purchases of equipment and
material are made locally. Then there are the
$21 ,934,358 in wages that PEPco paid last year.
Most of this money was spent right here in the
PEPco area, making another important con-
tribution.

scores of the $40 new laws soon
to take effect there. Many will
affect you even if you live
somewhere else but work or
play there or just happen to
be passing through to some
other State.
These laws. recently enacted
by the Virginia General Assem-
bly,, will take effect June 90 un-
less different date was Speci-
fled. Here is a digest of the
laws most likely to bear on ev-
eryday life:
Taxes
WithhOlding-If you live in
Virginia, your take-home pay
will be a lot less after Janu-
ary l. The only satisfaction
you may find in the new in
come tax Withholding law is that
you won't have to pay one
large lump sum by May l each
year. CYou will have to pay one
lump sum by May l, 1868, on
income for 1962-but not there
after. Persons working for
private industry in the Dis
trict of Columbia, Maryland or
elsewhere, will not be affected
unless the industry is chartered
to do business in Virginia. Fed
eral employees will be affected,
no matter where they work, as
well as employees Of private
businesses IN Virginia.
DeductiOnS-You will be able
to deduct from your Federal
income tax return the 10 per
cent State tax on all whisky
you buy in ABC stores. Be-
ginning July l, the amount of
the tax will be listed separate
ly. At present it's included in
the price and the Internal Rev.
enue Service won't allow the de-
duction. If you keep records,
you'll either have to keep the
empty bottles or soak the cash
register stamp off the bottle
because no separate cash reg
lister stamp will be issued.
EvaSiOn-As a former resi-
dent you may have moved into
the District, Maryland or some
other State still owing Virginia
income or local real estate and
personal property taxes. Vir-
ginia now can catch up with
you. A new law permits Vir-
ginia to enter into reciprocity
with other States to collect
taxes-by attacking your bank
account, if necessary.
Alcohol and tobacco - Did
you think your temporary" tax
on whisky, beer, cigarettes and
other tobacco products would
expire July /? Think again. The
Legislature extended it for an
other two years.
Teachers-If you are a teach
er, you can deduct from your
State income tax return up to
$1,000 you spend to advance
your professional standing such
as taking extra college courses
toward a degree.

Prisoner Dead,
Officials Probe
Use of Druqs

BALTIMORE, Nov. 8 (AP).-
A preliminary examination has
revealed evidence of barbit-
urates in the blood of Alfred
Pittore, who was found dead in
his cell at the Maryland Peni-
tertiary yesterday morning.
Pittore, once linked to activi-
ties in Baltimore's night club
district. was serving a 40-year
sentence for kidnap and rob-
berry.
DR.. Russell S. Fisher, chief
Baltimore City medical ex-
aminer, said complete autopsy
reports would be ready today.
Warden Vernon L. Pepersack
said Pittore's cellmate. James
Gilliard, "a, told him that he
and Pittore had been taking in
jections. Gilliard said the pair
had disposed of the needle by
flushing it down the toilet.
Mr.. Pepersack said Gilliard
had been out of the cell on
kitchen duty for several hours
before Pittore's body was 0is-
covered.

The biggest delegation in

ifornia. That State had 1e
Democrats and IA Republicans
in the 87th Congress. 1t will
have 25 Democrats and 10 Re-
publicanS in the 88th.
Notwithstanding election of q

from Florida, the Democrats
added three to their total there
The new division will be 10

Some Quirks at Work

some instances without CIV

significant increase.

Still another reason why Re-
publicans failed to make great
er inroads into the big Demo-
cratic House numerical major
ity was that the size of their
delegations was cut down or
remained the same.
This happened in Pennsyl-
vania. California, Minnesota,
Nebraska, Connecticut, Massa-

other States outside the South

death by officer Bill Kelly in
nearby Taylorsville, Mississippi,
after he allegedly refused the
Gus Drivers order to get off
the bus.
Little credence is being plac-
ed in the published reports of
the incident which alleged that
the Negro soldier was being or
dered off the bus because of be-
ing drunk and disorderly con-
duct. In one part of the report
it was stated that he refused to
get off the bus. In another it
was stated that officer Bill
Kelly fired one shot into the
pavement to scare him, after
which he was attacked by the
soldier before he was shot
through the heart. There was
nothing in the story to explain
how the Negro soldier got off
the bus after refusing the driv-
er's order to get off, if he ac-
tually did get off the bus. On
the other hand there was the
question of why would the of
ficer shoot into the pavement to
scare a person on the bus, and
then Immediately engage in a
struggle before shooting the

(COhtinued From Pare OnA)

Is turning against those who
seek to keep a strangle-hold on
the political power Of urban
and minority group citizens. The
Kennedy Administration Is de-
termined to give every Ameri-
can his Constitutional rights
Full voting rights in the South
as well as the North are basic. T"
The Department Of Justice is
pressing for enactment Of the
literacy test bill in the Con-
gress which would curb voting
abuses in the South and also
help Spanish-speaking citizens
in many Northern cities. This
measure provides for the accept
ance of six grade education
as proof Of literacy.
Poll Taxes in five Southern
States, Texas, Virginia, Ark
ansas, Alabama and MISSISSIPPI
pi serve to cut down the vote
among all low income groups,
Negro and white. The margin
by which the poll tax amend
ment passed the Senate sur
prised some Washington observ-
ers.
The decision of the U. S.
Supreme Court on reapportion-
ment in the Tennessee voting
case last week is certain to en-
nance the political power of
Negroes in urban areas of the
South and North.
Deputy Chairman Martin
pointed out that there are over
10000 registered Negro voters
in Memphis and over 10000 in
Atlanta. When the vote of these
urban jewellers begin to carry
as much influence as the vote
of the rural citizens in such
states as Tennessee and Geor-
gia, we shall see a new day in
Southern politics.
Deputy Chairman Martin also
hailed the announcement last
week by the Southern Regional
Council that it would launch a
particular emphasis on registra-
ton in the Southern states. He
said: "The Democratic National
Committee is seriously concern
ed about low registration in
many sections of the country.
