Tax Withholding Plan
Approved in Virginia

SIS million short of the sum
recommended by former Gov
j. Lindsay Almond, jr.
The new Withholding tax
is effective January l and will
raise at least $27 million dur
ing the next biennium. OF this,
$40 million would result from
a one-time "windfall" due to
advance collection Of the tax
that otherwise would not be
paid until the following year.
Previous estimates were that
about 81 million for the bien-
nium-or $3.5 million a year
would be obtained in new
revenue from persons who fail to
file returns.
This estimate was raised in
debate today when Senator
Landon R. Wyatt of Danville,
said that State Tax Commits
Sioner c. H. MorrisSett now
believes that the withholding
levy will produce $5.3 million
more a year from those who
now escape the tax.
The measure allows Virginia
to make a reciprocal agree
ment with the Federal Gov
eminent to withhold the tax
from Government workers liv-
ing in Virginia. There is no
provision for private businesses
outside the State to withhold.
A once = controversial bill
authorizing the creation of an
Alexandria ports authority, re-
ceived approval of the House

A 17-year-old boy was &C.

Merson, IS, a pianist, on Ash
mead place NV.
Capt. Lawrence A. Hartnett
head of the homicide squad
said the youth, Raymond Bow

N street NV, was charged
with homicide.
The papers charging the
youth with homicide will be
filed with Juvenile Court to-
morrow, he said. Bowden was
taken to the Receiving Home
for juveniles last night.
Capt. Hartnett said the youth
has made a statement about
the crime duplicating another
person. Police were looking for
the other person for ques-

Capt. Hartnett said that
Bowden led police to a location
some distance from the death
scene, which was in the 1900
block of Ashmead place NV.
Some of the contents of Mr..
MerSon'S billfold were found
earlier at the location.
BoWden was picked up by
police Friday night for ques-
tioning in connection with a
pocketbook theft, and then re-
leased yesterday morning, Capt.
Hartnett said. Police picked him
up again a short time later for
further questioning.
Police said that Bowden had

Both Stress Need
For Disarmament
Kennedy
'EveryEffort'
At Genevu

GENEVA. Sunday, Mar. II
(AP) United States Secretary
of State Dean Rusk arrived
early today for complex East
West diplomatic negotiations
and said he was under instruc-
tionS from President Kennedy
to make every effort toward
disarmament"
1.-THE Secretary stepped from
his giant military transport
plane a few minutes after mid
night.
1t was raining, just as it had
been few hours earlier when
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei
Gromyko arrived at Geneva's
Confirm Airport.
In their arrival statements,
Mr.. RuSk and Mr.. Gromyko
both stressed the need for dis
armament.
Mr.. Rusk said the problem
touches on the welfare and
security OF every human being
on the face of the earth"
Cites Burden of Arms
Earlier, Mr.. Gromyko said
the IT nation disarmament
conference, opening here on
Wednesday, should make a
serious effort to remove the
tremendous burden placed on
mankind by the worlds lava
lanche of ornaments.
Mr.. Rusk said he hoped the
meetings scheduled the next
three days with Mr.. Gromyko
and Britain's foreign Secre-
tary Lord Home will "help
create the appropriate political
atmosphere" in which the
general disarmament negoti-
ationS can move forward.
Mr.. Rusk, wearing a black
coat and hat, hunched his
shoulders to keep the rain
from running down the back
of his collar.
After a few hours sleep, the
United States Secretary begins
a delicate round of private
diplomatic consultations. He
will meet West German For
eign Minister Gerhard Sch
roeder at nearby Lausanne
shortly before noon, and the
two men will lunch together.
Rush to See British
Then Mr.. Rusk will confer
with Lord Home shortly after
the British Foreign Secretary's
noontime arrival. They will
seek to sew up the broad lines
the West will take on a variety
of problems, including general
disarmament, nuclear testing.
Berlin and Germany, and
European security.
In the evening, Mr.. Rusk will
be host at a dinner for Mr.. Gro

then that the first serious at
tempts may be made to see If

However, 22O more Virginia
National GuardSmen were
ordered to duty at Chinco-
league to bolster the force of
80 armed and uniformed men
already posted in that shat
tered fishing and poultry
raising community.
Three-fourths of the Chin
colleague Islanders already have
been evacuated across the
causeway to the mainland, but
LOO remained behind, ignor-
ing appeals to leave which were
broadcast from loudspeakers.
Evacuation was halted late
yesterday by Civil Defense
authorities when it became
plain that the remaining
islanders were determined to
stay near their devaSted homes.
Sees Added Threat
Officials are increasingly
alarmed by the threat of con-
tamination posed by flooded
septic tanks and hundreds of
thousands of drowned chick
ems. DR.. William Fritz, Civil
Defense Health Officer, said
dysentery has been added to
typhoid as a possible threat
to the population.
Typhoid serum has been
brought to Chincoteague and
incubation of residents and
emergency workers was to be-
gin this morning.
Dump trucks continued to
haul the dead chickens to a
rendering plant at Crisfield,
where they will be made into
fertilizer.
Food and Drug Administra-
ton officials who toured the
seven = by = two mile island on
Virginia's Eastern Shore re-
ported meat and vegetables in
many stores were contaminated
and would have to be destroyed.
They recommended to State
authorities that permission be
sought from the State Depart
ment of Agriculture to have
the food stocks destroyed.
Get Surplus Food
However, the United States
Department of Agriculture late
yesterday gathered surplus food
stocks, normally used for insti-
buttons and school lunch pro-
grams, and sent two truckloads
across the causeway to Chin
colleague. The supplies include
milk, flour, meal, rice, beans,
cheese and butter and will be
given free to residents from the
distribution center at the Fire
Department.
The island, normally inhab-
tied by 5000 persons, today is
a bleak expanSe of Seaweed and
debris covered streets Strewn
with boats, automobiles and the
wreckage of homes.
Telephone, electric and water
service has been restored to
most of the island, but Chinco-
league has the look of a ghost
town. Most of it's inhabitants,
particularly the very old and |
the very young, still are being
sheltered in nearby counties on
