Virginia SCC Decides
It Lacks Authority to
Probe Two Papers
By th» Associated Press
RICHMOND, Va., April 1.—The
State Corporation Commission has
decided it is without authority to
conduct an investigation of Rich
mond Newspapers, Inc., as directed
in a resolution of the House of
Delegates.
The commission advised Gov.
Tuck and the clerks of the House
and Senate of the decision in a
letter yesterday. The SCC said the
investigation was not within the
orbit of the general jurisdiction of
the commission which, therefore,
would have to consider that it was
constituted a committee by the
House for the purpose of making the
investigation.
“This being the case, it is essential:
in our opinion to consider at the out
set the extent of our authority to
conduct such an investigation,” the
SCC said. “In dealing with this
problem, we must recognize that
this resolution is not a direction of
the General Assembly of Virginia,
which under section 40 of the con
stitution of Virginia possesses the
legislative power of the State, but
is rather a mandate of a single
branch thereof, namely the House
of Delegates.
Resolution Quoted.
“It is also true that the resolu
tion directs an investigation and
report to be made after adjourn
ment sine die of the House of Dele
gates.
“In view of these facts and after
j an examination of authorities bear
ing upon the question presented, we
are clearly of the opinion, which
opinion appears to be supported by
! the overwhelming weight of au
thority, that insofar as the resolu
tion, aforesaid, attempted to be op
; erative after the adjournment of the
\ General Assembly, it is without
: force and effect and, accordingly, we
are powerless to comply with its
1 direction.”
Delegate Samuel Swanson of
; Pittsylvania, offered the resolution
| to the House after the two Rich
I mond newspapers had criticized
; legislative action editorially. Both
the Times-Dispatch and the News
Leader were critical of the House
voting its members an extra $300
per member as an expense allow
i ance as well as various other
measures.
Resolution Fails.
An effort was made tc rescind the
| resolution in the Assembly's “con
I structive session” Tuesday, but
: there was no quorum.
Assistant Attorney General Wal
ter Rogers had no official comment
and indicated there would be none
from the attorney general’s* office
until Representative Almond, Demo
crat, of Virginia, takes the oath of
; office as attorney general.
Representative Almond has an
i nounced he would resign from
i Congress about the middle of April
| to become attorney general of Vir
ginia. He was elected at the re
cent session of the General As
sembly.

John H. Werner, chairman of the
Operating Committee of the “Y”
Cottage, 8410 Wisconsin avenue,
Bethesda.
pie cottage, a Community Chest
agency, was set up through the ef
forts of residents of the community
to take over functions of the USO

Officials of the agency claim,

They have asked civic organiza
tions and other groups to sponsor
any of the following projects:
Sunday night suppers for person
nel at the Naval Medical Center,
Bethesda: volunteers for ;ervice at
the cottage, underwrite free coffee

newspaper subscriptions at a cost of
$4.83 a month, pay the $5 monthly
cost of publishing Wits and Bits, the
agency's monthly publication; pro
vide a place and an orchestra for
a dance, and furnish prizes for
games and provide refreshments.
In addition to furnishing recrea
tional opportunities for servicemen
and young adults in the area, the
agency^ also permits teen-agers to
use its facilities if they are organ
ized and have a sponsor.
Equipment in the cottage includes
two pianos, two kitchens, two radios
and several hundred books. There
also is a grill in the rear yard for
barbecues.
The cottage is open from 9:30
a.m. to 11 pan. weekdays and from
noon to 10 pm. Sundays. It is
operated by a committee comprised
of representatives from the com
munity, the YMCA and the YWCA.

Maryland Income Tax Laws
To Be Enforced, Lacy Warns
By th« Aisociatad Pros
BALTIMORE, April 1. — State
Controller James J. Lacy said to
day he planned to “enforce vigor
ously” the State income tax provi
sions and to “prosecute those indi
viduals who wilfully refuse to file” a
return.
In a brief statement discussing
policy of his division regarding the;
income tax, the controller said:
“May this be public notice to those
individuals who intentionally fail to;
carry their share of the cost of State
government that they must and will i
suffer the resulting consequences.”!
Penalty for wiHul failure to file a
return, he recalled, is a $500 fine, six
months imprisonment, or both.
The deadline for returns is April
15.
The State income tax law is ap
plicable to both residents‘and non
residents. The former are defined
as those domiciled in Maryland on
the last day of the taxable year or
those who maintain a home within
the State during six months of the
year. Nonresidents are liable only
on income earned within the State.
Federal employes performing duties
in the State also are subject to
State income taxes.

the joint American-Greeic staff.

If there is a strike, it will last un
til the case is solved. Workers will
quit for an hour the first day. two
hours the second, three the third
and so on. That would mean a
10-hour layoff the day before the
Sunday election. The first day
public service employes, unlike
others, would go out only a quarter

The missing man is Placido Riz
