A—16 s GEN. MOLA GAINS STRATEGIG POINT Captures Yurre, Opening Way for Double Thrust at Highway Junction. BACKGROUND— Spanish civil war, now nearing its first anniversary, now centers in Gen. Emilio Mola’s drive toward Bilbao, Basque capital and chief northern seaport. Struggle has been sanguine with heavy casualties among the thousands of refugees, mainly women and orphaned chil- dren, who during the siege of Madrid fled there for safety. Neu- tral governments have evacuated many to France. Struck by Car BOY HURT WHEN HIT BY TROLLEY. By the Associated Press. HENDAYE, Franco-Spanish Fron- tier, May 25.—Gen. Emilio Mola’s in- surgent army was reported today to have captured the town of Yurre and & wide region to the north opening the way for a double thrust against Gal- dacano, strategic highway junction southeast of Bilbao and key to the city’s “iron ring” defenses. With two insurgent columns ham- mering toward it, Galdacano seemed destined to be the center of the crucial battle for possession of the Basque capital. Verdant hills, overlooking Yurre, on one of the highways that fork out from Galdacano, reverberated to the blasts of mortars and field pieces, as Basque “Gudaris” and their Asturian neighbors struggled shoulder to shoul- ROBERT CRAWFORD. That big patch on Robert’s cheek looks pretty serious, but he was lucky, at that. Struck by a street car yester- day, Robert, who is 6 and lives at 439 Twelfth street south- east, escaped with minor in- juries. After treatment at Providence Hospital—where the patch was put on—he was permitted to return home. —Star Staff Photo. Taxes der to hold a “pocket” on the south- eastern front. Several thousand troops recently called into action aided the defenders. Basque commanders declared that Galdacano, perhaps the most strategic point on the iron semi-circle of forti- fications protecting Bilbao from the north, east and south, had been suf- ficiently bulwarked to bring Mola's | warriors to a definite halt, but con- { it “is the most logical method of rais- (Contl‘x!ped From First Page.) Commissioners said, is urgently need- ed for highway purposes. Since the funds from the gasoline tax would not go into general rev- enues there would be $7,800,000 to be applied to the anticipated deficit. The sales tax was finally approved, the Commissioners declared, because THE EVENING STAR, WAS ing the additional fund necessary for balancing the budget.” “The principal objection to this form of taxation,” said a statement the Commissioners submitted to the subcommittee, “is that the poor man pays equally with the rich in the pur- chase of necessities. This objection, however, is obviated by exempting food from the operation of this tax.” The Commssioners explained that retail sales in the District last year amounted to $335,000,000, of which $70,000,000 represented sales of food. This leaves, they sald, approximately $265,000,000 upon which a 2 per cent tax should be levied. Income Tax Temporarily Scrapped. While the Commissioners temporar- ily scrapped their proposals for an in- come tax and a business privilege tax based on gross receipts, they said these two plans should not be abandoned for future consideration. An income tax, the Commissioners sald, should not be adopted at this ]| time, in view of the necessity of rais- .| ing “with certainty” a definite sum. “Due to the peculiar status of the i District, which is not paralleled any- where in the United States,” they de- clared, “great difficulties are presented in attempting to determine what in- come would be taxable by the District and upon whom the tax could be levied. It is, therefore, impossible to estimate with any reasonable degree of accuracy the amount of revenue to be derived from such a tax, and it is possible, because of the numerous legal questions involved, that the entire act imposing such a tax might be held void. “A business privilege tax requires time for consideration in order to de- termine the treatment to be accorded peculiar classes of business operating in the District and the effect of the tax upon wholesalers and retailers and also the resultant effect upon the con- sumers or users of the commodity or service.” A rough draft of the “use tax” was drawn up by the three District lawyers on the Commissioners’ Special Tax Advisory Committee late yesterday, as a suggested means to prevent eva- sion of the sales tax by levying on g0ods purchased by local taxpayers in another jurisdiction and brought into the District. Richmond B. Keech, one of the tax advisers, said the draft was tation on the part of the committee to include it in the program because the “use tax” itself was so susceptible of evasion. Before tackling the problem of the ‘“‘use tax” in connection with the gen- eral sales tax, Corporation Counsel Elwood H. Seal got into communica- tion with the California Tax Equal- ization Board. In that State, which adopted a sales tax a few years ago, it was reported that a “use tax” for the purpose of preventing evasions, had worked out satisfactorily. Copies of the perfected draft of the program were to be made available also to the Senate Appropriations Sub- committee, which is handling the Dis- trict supply bill. That group balked yesterday, however, at the idea of writing a tax program into the ap- propriation bill, in view of the fact that Maj. Daniel Donovan, District budget officer, advised there-is no peg in the bill at present on which to hang taxes. Revenue legislation in the ordinary course must originate in the House.

TRINIDAD CITIZENS REGISTER PROTEST A vigorous protest against play- | ground and fire-fighting facilities in | the Trinidad area will be forwarded to the District Commissioners today after a meeting of the Trinidad Citi- zens' Association last night in the ‘Wheatley School. i Investigation of conditions of three | playgrounds will be asked, in line with | a report by William J. Toomey. He | pointed out that Sherwood Playground has been under construction for the last three years, but has not been completed. Immediate repair of dam- | age to Brentwood Playground, caused | by the circus, will be asked, and the association will urge that a new play- ground be established either on the grounds of Gallaudet College or at | Bladensburg and Mount Olivet roads. | The Trinidad area is without a fire | eompany between North Capitol street on the west and Thirteenth street on | the east, B street southeast on the #outh and the railroad tracks on the north, according to J. H. Thomas. He offered a resolution, which was adopt- | ed. demanding immediate action. A vote of thanks was given George J.
