Admits Store Visit
Mr.. Ralph has acknowledged
that he visited the Nieman-
Marcus store in Dallas with
Estes and tried on and was
fitted for some expensive suits.
He also tried on a pair of
alligator shoes.
However, Mr.. Ralph insisted
during his testimony in Texas
that he never received any gifts
that he knew came from Estes,
nor had he ever done any
favors for the indicted Pecos
financier.
The House Subcommittee,
h e a ded by Representative
Fountain, Democrat of North

grain storage operations of
Estes.
James Naughton, the sub

fired by the Agriculture De-
partment because of his con-
nections with the Pecos (TexD

ness before the House group.
46 Probing Case
Senator Mcclellan said that
after comforting with his staff
he concluded that the hearings
could not begin before late
June because of the time re-
quired to prepare the case for

The Arkansas Senator has as
signed 46 investigators to check
on the affairs of Estes and his

The Senate group has been
concentrating its study on cot

questionable manner by Estes.
But the subcommittee also is
expected to go into all phases
of the operations of the 81
year-old Texan, including his
grain storage activities.
Artists Hearing Set
Senator Mcclellan said that
the Estes hearings will be pre-

Board Halls Rate

The board also set the per-
sonal property tax rate at $4.10
per 500 of assessed valuation.
This also is an increase of IS
cents.
Board members said the new
tax rate will be the lowest
effective tax rate in Northern
Virginia.
School officials said they
could not be certain where the
cuts would be made in their
budget. They suggested that
about half of the SIS million
eliminated could be made up
by using bond funds for CAPT.
tai improvement needs.
The supervisors voted. 5 to
0, on the new tax rates. Super
visor Adelard Brault, who was
appointed to the board last
week, abStained from voting,
and Supervisor A. Claiborne
Leigh was absent.
Oppose Salary Cuts
The supervisors told School
Supt. E. C. Funderburk they
hoped the cuts would not mean
a reduction in the minimum
teacher salary Of $4,000.
The new real estate tax rate,
an increase of IL per cent over
last years rate, means that
the owner of a home appraised
at $40, 900, would pay approx
mately $27 more in taxes this
year than last.

behind Mr.. Burklund.
The trouble which threatened
20 erupt into physical violence
began when the Burklund
forces proposed that balloting
to choose q temporary chair
man be conducted secretly.
Each faction had its candidate
for temporary chairman.
The strategy of Burklund
forces evidently resulted from
belief that some party members
who would not dare to oppose
Mr.. Broyhill's wishes openly
might do so if they were guar
Ianteed anonymity.
Three times, after screaming
voice votes and a noisy show
of hands, Mr.. Brockhurst, him

posal.

The Fairfax County Board of
Supervisors today raised the
real estate tax rate by 35 cents
to $685. for each 500 of
assessed valuation.
The board concluded a series
of budget sessions by cutting
SIS million from the school
budget. Earlier about 81 million
had been cut from the total
budget.
County Executive Carlton
Massey originally proposed a
budget totaling $75.4 million.
This would have required an
increase of 88 cents in the tax
rate.

NAAcP Challenges The
- .s
Food Distribution

NEW YORK. - Mayor Arthur
j. Hanes of Birmingham, who said
that Negroes cut off from surplus
food supplies by the city should
be fed by the NAACP, has been
challenged to take steps to make
it possible for the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement of
Colored People to assist persons
deprived of federally supplied food
by the city's action.
In a telegram to the Mayor on
April S, NAACP Executive Secre-
tary Roy wilkins reminded the
Dixie official of the ban against
the Association in Alabama. chal-
lenged him to intervene to stay the
application of the state injunction,
and asserted the readiness of the
NAACP ''to assist in any feasible
way" to see that all needy persons
receive food made available to
them by the Federal Government.
Previously, Mr., Wilkins had
wired Secretary of Agriculture Or
vile Freeman expressing conf
dence that the Department of Ag-
riculture would ''take all neces-
Sary steps to ensure that no needy
family, white or colored, is with
out the food the Government is
supplying the destitute. -
The full text of Mr.. Wilkins tele-
gram to Mayor Hanes follows:
You are quoted in an AssO-
ciated Press Dispatch dated
April 4 as saying eff the Ne
grOes are going to heed the
irresponsible and militant ad-
vice of the NAACP and Core
leaders, then I say, let these
leaders feed them, because
in excess Of 80 per cent of the
recipients Of the free food
handouts are Negroes" You
are certainly aware Of the
fact that the National AssOci-
alton for the Advancement of
COlOred People was permanent
ly enjOined December 20, 1861
by Circuit Court Judge Walter
B.. Jones of Montgomery from
operating in Alabama and that
: this injunction is now on ap-
: peal to the Alabama Supreme
Court. If you will instruct at
t0rneys for the City of Birm-
ingham to intervene to stay
the application of that injunc-
ton, the NAACP will move at
once to assist in any feasible
way to see that Surplus food,
. made available to needy per-
sons by the United States
Government, is distributed in
the county to all destitute per-
sons irrespective Of race.
