Funeral services | proposals urged by Commissioner of Revenue Harry K. Green of Arling- ton. As a resuit of the conference, it was agreed to introduce one of Mr. Green's proposals to require new residents to file tax returns when they have lived n Virginia for one year prior to the tax deadline on De- cember 5. The present law required that a person must have lived in the State for six months prior to Jan- uary 1 of the taxable year before being assessed with State taxes. Mr. Green made his suggestion as ehairman of the Legislative Com- mittee of the Commissioner of Rev- enue Association of Virginia. Sev- eral other tax proposals urged by Mr. Green are now being studied by the two Arlingion legislators. Gov. Price presented his budget message for the biennium begin- ning July 1 to a joint Assembly ¥ | terday. An sxamination of the 49’ page budget showed one specific rec- ommendation of significance to the Northern Virginia area. He sug- gested that $12.000 be set aside each vear for the Norther irginia Re- gional Defense Council. The fund would provide an annual salary of $3600 for an associate executive, which post is now held by Mrs. Alma ' Ramsay of Arlington. | Execution of two men at the State | Penitentiary today gave grim im- petus to Gov. Price’s request to the General Assembly to take steps to set up a State Board of Pardons. Sole say in the matter of life or death for condemned felons rests with the Governor after the courts have ac'ed finally, and in asking that this duty be removed from the chief exacutive. Gov. Price recalled ! aleepless hours he had spent in the dawn hours that men were to die. “I've had '18 cases of the death sentence during my term of office,” the Governor told the joint session of the General Assembly gathered to hear the biennial budget message ! vesterday. “and there are two more to be electrocuted tomorrow I guess I shall be lying awake think- ! ing about them as their hour ap- proaches. * * * This is too much responsibility for one man's shoul- ders.” will be held ai the Takoma Seventk.- Day Adventist Church at 2:30 pxx tomorrow.
