State police threw s heavy guar a former steel worker for allegedly hurling dynamite at a freight train leaving the plant. Cleveland’'s Mayor Harold H. Burton pealed to Gov.

OAKLAND, Calif., July 3.—Two left-behind mates of the round-the- world flyers lost in the vast Pacific passed part of the long afternoon try- ing to bolster one another's sinking hopes as the hours brought no certain word from Amelia Earhart or her navigator, Frederick J. Noonan. George Palmer Putnam hurried up the steps of Mrs. Beatrice Noonan's home just as she was starting to the airport to look for him. He patted her “on the shoulder and told her again and again. “Everything is going to be all right.” “I have & hunch they are sitting somewhere on a coral island and send- ing out their signals,” said Putnam. Fred's probably out sitting on a rock now catching their dinner with those fishing lines they had aboard. There’ll be driftwood to make a fire. Maybe they could rig up a gasoline stove, if there is any gasoline left.” Putnam's theory was that Miss Ear- hart probably “pancaked” the flying laboratory dewn near some bit of island and Trigged up the plane’s aerial to send the 8 O 8 messages amateurs reported hearing today. Putnam reminded Mrs. Noonan the fiyers had “plenty of feod and water— tomato juice and concentrated food tablets—to keep them alive for weeks.” He said the plane ‘“could float for weeks” if it struck the water un- damaged. Once the tall Putnam stopped his pacing and said flatly: “It's” this way, Bee. One of two things ‘have happened.

Mrs. Crutchfield, however, ran to the rear of the home, one of Rich- mond's show places, and saw her husband lying face down on the porch. 8he ran downstairs and called Austin, who said Crutchfield was dead when he reached the porch. It was at this time, Austin said, that he saw the car being driven by Deas leave the driveway. The autopsy showed that two of the bullets lodged in Crutchfield’s heart, one in the neck, one in the center of the chest and ome below the heart. All five had entered from the front. Crutchfield, prominent in Rich- mond social and business circles, was & member of the Westmoreland and Commonwealth Clubs and also of the Country Club of Virginia.

The article which follows is an attempt to explain some of the eflects of the modified “single tax” theory now a part of the District tax bill in the form of a 1 per cent tax on land values. 1l 1 HE modified application of the old “single tax” theory which has found its way into the Senate District Com- mittee’s version of the District tax bill in the form of a per cent tax on land—which means a rate of $10 a thousand—would boost the total tax burden on District real estate by 28 per cent and hike the levy on land alone by about 6623 per cent. The current levy on real estate—excluding improvements— is now $7,200,000. This would be increased by the 1 per cent land tax $4,800,000, to a new high of $12,000,000. While the tax-legislating members of Congress have re- atedly declared their determination to protect real estate rom an increased burden—on the ground that real estate already bears a disproportionate share of the load—the Senate Eroposal means that over half the new taxes would come from eavier taxation of real estate. Tax Unequal in Application. The increased burden would not be spread equitably or evenly among the owners of real estate. Some property owners would pay a small increase. Others would be faced with increases ranging to 75 per cent and more. Some of those best able to bear the heavier burden would be hit the least; would get the greatest boost. some of those least able to bear the increase Some property owners would absorb the increase or easily pass it along to their tenants; other property owners could not pass it along. The suggestion has been advanced that the home owner would come out lightly under the 1 per cent land tax. But calculations show each land owner, nevertheless, would have to pay more—how much more depending on circumstances over which he has no control. Most home buyers intend to kee their homes, not to sell them. Some observers declare the additional tax wallop might easily force thousands of real estate parcels onto the market, depressing values generally—though not depressing tax assess- ments or tax bills. The 1 per cent land-tax plan means the realty tax would be divided into different levies as to land and bujldings. The tax rate on improvements would remain at $1.50 per $100 of assessment. The tax rate on land—whether improved or not—would be raised from $1.50 to $2.50 per $100 of assessment. Example of Unequal Effect. Take the case of two of Washington's largest hotels for examples of the unequal and highly inequitable effect of the new tax. The Mayflower Hotel now has a total assessment of $4,284 - 090. The application of this modified single tax theory would raise its total real estate tax bill from $64,261 to $73,952, or by 15 per cent. The Willard Hotel now has a total assessment of $3,209,340. The application of the proposed revised tax plan would raise its total realty bill from $48,140 to $68,233—or by 41 per cent. How does this happen? The difference in the application of the land tax lies in the difference in the type of development. The ratio of land value to building value in the case of the Willard approaches two to one. In the case of the Mayflower the ratio is reversed, with the building value (improvement) being well over three times that of the land. The land occupied by the Mayflower is now valued by the District for assessment purposes at $969,090 and the building at $3,315,000. The total area of the Mayflower site is computed at 64,606 square feet, and the District values this land at the rate of $15 a square foot. The Willagrd is on land valued by the District at $2,009.340 and the building has an assessment value of $1,200,000. The 33,489 square feet in the Willard site.are valued at $60 per foot. Therefore, it is seen that, whereas the Mayflower has nearly twice as much land area as the Willard and improvements valued at almost three times (Continued on Page 7, Column 2. those of the Willard, yet the Snapshot Entries Pour In For $10,000 National Prizes UNDREDS of snapshots have been entered in The Sunday Star Snapshot Contest since the opening announcement, and judging from the promptness in filing entries it is evident that ama- teur photographers in Washington are putting forth every effort to bring & $500 class prise and the $1,000 grand prize of the $10,000 Newspaper National Snapshot Awards to their home town to add to The Star's prizes.

As tentatively sketched by | Lewis himself when the union was launched last month, this is supposed | to concern itself with improved sal- | aries and working conditions, tenure | of office and the creation of an ap- | peals body to which workers can carry | their grievances. The circumstances which gave im- petus to the formation of the U. F.

Some of the most active in the | United Federal Workers have been | strong proponents of picketing and | mass protest as weapons for adjuste ing grievances or giving point to de- mands. This innovation in Govern- ment employment relationship has been in evidence on several occa- sions in the past three years. In starting the U. F. W., however, Lewis let it be known that discipline in the ranks was expected and he specified in the announcement of the formation of the union that strikes and picketing would have no place in its make-up. In taking the attitude that collec= tive bargaining properly may go only 80 far in Government service, the President, observers point out, could be expected to be opposed to the desig~ nation of any union as the bargaining " (See FEDERAL UNION, Page A-4) INFANTILE PARALYSIS CASES TO BE ISOLATED Mississippi Increase to Be Fought by Setting Up Temporary Hospital.
