NG " ESTIMATES CHANGE ON TAX' RECEIPTS Wave of Dividends and| Wage Boosts Scanned by Treasury Experts. By the Associated Press. The recent wave of dividend dec- larations and wage increases is being scanned by Treasury experts attempt- ing to forecast tax revenues. Officials said revised estimates of tax receipts for this fiscal year now are being drafted for inclusion in President Roosevelt's budget message to Congress and that it was possible these might be lifted upward by the present business surge. ‘They added however, that no ma- terial changes in earlier forecasts were expected, because these took into con- sideration the possibility of heavy dividend and wage outlays by corpo- rations faced with new levies on un- distributed profits. With special and regular dividend declarations rolling toward the $500,- 000,000 mark and with annual wage | increases totaling upward of $125,- 000,000 announced in recent weeks, officials centered attention on prospec- tive income-tax receipts. Receigls from income levies, which would ly reflect the present flood of cash outlays, now are estimated at $2,303,363,000 for this fiscal year, but this figure probably will be revised in the forecast now being compiled. Increased buying power by the Na- tion's workers and stockholders also may be expected to pour more revense into the Treasury through other tax channels, officials said, citing the pos- sibility of increases in levies on to- bacco, beverages, gasoline, amusements and the like.

ROCKVILLE, Md., November 19.— Donald Parker, colored, 27, of Wash- ington, D. C., will go on trial in the Montgomery County Circuit Court De- cember 1 for the murder of Horace ‘Waters, who was slain five years ago in a hold-up at his store in Old Ger-l mantown. ‘The trial date was fixed by Judge Charles W. Woodward after Parker pleaded not guilty this morning to an indictment charging him with the kill- ing. A grand jury handed down a true bill last week. Parker was brought here for the ar- raignment under heavy guard from the Maryland Penitentiary at Balti- more, where he is serving a life sent- ence for the slaying of John T. Geary, jr., a Prince Georges County store- keeper, at Priests Bridge May 30, 1934. Only a few spectators were in the court room when the colored man was brought before Judge Woodward. Parker was returned to the peniten- tlary immediately after his trial had been set. He said he would employ counsel to represent him. Parker is the sole survivor of the notorious “Black Dillinger” gang of three Washington colored men that terrorized Southern Maryland mer- chants and citizens in the Spring of 1934. His two colleagues were executed last June following their conviction of murder in the Geary slaying. They were James Dent and Albert | Gross. Parker's sentence was com- muted to life by Gov. Harry W. Nice when it was explained he was the | driver of the get-away car and not one of the bandit pair which entered Geary's store and shot dewn the mer- chant. State’s Attorney James H. Pugh claimed Parker was one of the two | gunmen who entered Waters' store on January 20, 1932, and killed the store- keeper when he failed to obey their | commands to “stick ‘em up.” THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1936.
