Telephone FUtefield FLAIXFIELD, X. COUSOSSL-HEWS, TUESDAY, APRIL 21, 1320 4-Koom House Railroad Tax Princess Elizabeth Serves Cake To 'Uncle David' (King Edward VHI) liquor Sale Ban Slated Deaths Funerals Late News Flashes Her 10th Birthday Younj Speeder Is Fined Excuse Weak Emergency Exited, He Appeal Denied Fif th Time State Lines Again Re versed In Their Battle Of Assessing Methods i renron- (A1) The 1965 tax ap peals of principal railroads crossing New Jersey were dismissed today by the state tax board, reversing the lines for the fifth consecutive year in their fight for tax reduc tion and revision of assessment methods. The board merely announced its decision, postponing the filing of an opinion. In their 1935 appeals, trunk rail roads and the unclassified smaller lines withheld $7,175,193 of taxes totaling $19.256,165.. This brought the total of railroad taxes with held in their five-year fight for tax reduction and a new assessment method to $26,279,526.

In recent year3 the railroads have presented to the tax' board and the courts extensive test! mony or real estate experts, en deavoring to show that they were unfairly- discriminated against by local assessors' property valuations. They contended that properties ad joining theirs was assessed at val uations ranging from 50 per cent to 80 per cent of true worth. The 1935 appeal stressed attack on the state's method of valuation rather than the alleged discrimination in property assessment They contended the State Tax. De partment ignored fluctuations in earnings. They asked for revision of the taxing method, now based upon depreciation, replacement cost and aggregate valuation of various items of property.

The 1932, 1933 and 1934 cases were transferred; to ieaerai court after efforts to obtain the changes sought failed In the state juris diction. Decisions by Federal Dis trict Judge Phillip Forman were awaited. The 1931 case, carried to the Appellate Courts by the Central Railroad of New Jersey, brought decisions upholding the assessments and the taxing method. The TJ. S.

Supreme Court declined to intervene in the 1931 case. In the 1935 cases the railroads filed with the tax board and Judge Forman a decision of the TJ. S. Supreme Court in an appeal involving the Great Northern Rairway in North Dakota. The decision, legal authorities pointed out, was the first in railroad tax contests in which the high court set aside a tax as too high without basing its ruling upon evideree of unfair discrimination In pre party valuation.

The railroads involved in the 1935 cases, amounts of taxes actually paid and amounts assessed included: Pennsylvania, $4,638,984, entire tax; Penn-Reading Seashore lines, $828,798, entire tax; Central, 620 of Reading, $393,537 of Erie, $625,409 of New York. Susquehanna and Western, $217,234 of Dela ware. Lackawanna and Western 611371 of Lehigh Valley, $591,635 of New York Central, $251,766 of $1,175,379. and, unclassified (smaller lines), $686-G14 of $690,927. Tells of Work Among Nava OS Dr.

Clarence G. Salsbury of the Ganado Mission in Arizona addressed the Guild of Crescent Avenue Presbyterian Church yesterday in assembly room. His talk covered the program of educational, medical, community and evangelistic work carried on among the Navajo Indians. The school in connection with the mission, he explained, includes in its course of study grades from primary through high school. It offers training in occupational work such as farming, dairying, carpentry, sewing, cooking and metal work.

Many of the girls who graduate from the high school go into training in the mission hospital. Upon graduation from the hospital they are eligible for state registration because of their high school training. The mission hospital, the speaker said, has increased its capacity in nine years from 12 beds and a staff of one doctor, two nurses and a cook to 80 beds and a staff of eight doctors with 23 nurses. The daily average is 91 patients. The Nav-ajos are becoming educated in the value of the hospital and overcoming their old superstitions and the use of the medicine man.

Dr. Salsbury told of the com munity houses which carry the projects of the mission to points beyond its location in the heart of the Navajo country, which covers 25.000 square miles. Northern Arizona, New Mexico and Southern Utah are reached by the practice. Underlying the general work of the mission Is the evangelistic spirit and effort. A Presbyterian Church is located in Ganado and its membership includes English and non-English speaking Indians.

Each year a Chautauqua is conducted for the scattered tribes, including about 50,000 Navajos. These Chau-tauquas are held in large tents, with 25 sleeping tents surrounding and a cafeteria that will serve 2,000 in an hour. Devotional exercises and recreational activities are well attended by the Indians. Dr. Salsbury was greeted by a large audience.

Mrs. Elliott R. Laidlaw presided. Tea was poured by Mrs. Paul C.

Castellanos and Mrs. Walter F. Pease after the address. SPEEDERS FINED Moses J. Leitner, 36, Bushkill, and Edward Kraus.

Hello, Skippy; And Thereby Wags a Tail Princeton (Jpi SkiDpy. a year- old fox terrier, had his lost identity re-established, found hia old multc and had a new one today thanks to me aiayor or Princeton. It all happened when Harry Brown, a Princeton contractor, took the dog to borough hall for a license yesterday. The clerk requested the dg's name for recording bat Erown, who said he had acquired the terrier from Trenton friends, said he didn't know and hadn't christened the dog himself. men Mayor Charles R.

Erdman former professor of politics at Princeton University, stepped from his office. He saw the terrier at Brown's feet and cried out: 'Hello, Skippy." The dog barked joyously, bounded across the room Into the mayor's arms. Erdman explained Skippv had belcnsed to him and had been missing a month. He graciously said he wouldn't press his owner- snip claim and directed the clerk to record the dog's name as Skippy for Brown. The contractor paid the fee.

And Others on London VP One of Great Brit afcn's most important hostesses wel comed, a select group of guests today and served them adequate slices of cake with all the dignity of he 10 years. The hostess wag Princess Eliza beth, second in line of succession to the British throne at the moment, celebrating her birthday. The guests invited included her "Uncle David," now King Edward VIII, Queen Mary, her parents, the Duke and Duchess of York, and her uncles and aunts, the Dukes and Duchesses of Kent and Gloucester. Exceedingly personal were the invitations, too written by the little Princess herself on mauve-edged stationery stamped with the initial and a royal crown.

The cake she cut herself from her place of honor at the head of the table, and none other than the King's own chef had made this piece de resistance of any birthday party. This formal affair was at the Royal Lodge at Windsor, and bells ofj Windsor Castle, St. George's Chapel and Windsor Parish Church were rung in her honor. Later little Princess Elizabeth en tertained a group more nearly her own age at a tea in her own tiny model home, a gift from the Welsh people on her sixth birthday. Elizabeth herself made the tea for this tartv and buttered the toast.

Her guests numbered among them her sister, the 5-year old Prin cess Margaret Rose, ner cousins, Viscount Lascelles and the Honor able Gerald Lascelles, and Lady Marv Cambridge. Daffodils from the small garden in front of the model home decorated the table. No school bells rang for the Prin cess today. Instead she opened presents, and watched the ceremony of changing the guards in the quad rangle at Windsor Castle. Special arrangements had to be made bv the court poetoff ice to han dle the rush of telegrams, letters, parcels and cards from all parts of the world.

Many of the gifts were stamps, for the Princess has followed her grandfather, the late King George as a philatelist. Many gifts had to be returned, for she may accept none from strangers or business firms. Young GOP Of Boro' See Assembly Work Young Republicans, North Plain- field, about 50 in number, attended last night's session of the Assembly in Trenton, and later a joint session of the Assembly and Senate, and heard Gov. Harold G. Hoffman address both bodies.

The address was broadcast over the radio. The group, led by Chairman Fred erick A. Onore. left the borough in automobiles about 6 p. m.

They were given seats in the gallery. Assemblyman H. Rivmgton Pyne being apprised of the presence of the North Plainfield delegation, introduced a resolution in the Assem bly welcoming his constituents. Before Mr. Pyne concluded his remarks.

Assemblyman Thomas M. Muir took up the welcoming address.

For Rejection House Committee Mem bers Are Expected to Reject Measure Aimed At General Stores Trenton UP) Members of the House committee on alcoholic bev erages were expected today to re ject the measure by which the New Jersey Retail Package Liquor Stores Association sought to outlaw the sale of packaged liquor in stores handling any other merchandise. Aimed at department stores.

chain drug and grocery stores and delicatessens, the measure, spon sored by Assemblyman John M. Kerner of Union, would force the establishments to isolate their liquor departments and use a separate entrance or get out of the business. At a public hearing yester day the "package" liquor dealers charged their competitors were using liquor mostly as a "loss lead er" to attract customers to other goods. The "combination" stores defended their existence, however, on the ground they performed a valuable public service in keeping prices down" and provided a handy, place for women to buy the family liquor supply "without going into a sa loon." Speakers for the "combination stores denied charges by their op ponents that children can easily get liquor in drug and grocery stores. They said they "abide by the laws 100 per cent, which is more than all our adversaries can say." Much was said about issues, but the arguments centered Mostly on economics.

Each group charged the other with hopes of monopolizing New Jersey's packed liquor trade. William J. Wells, head of L. Bam berger Newark, said he could "conceive of liquor prices doubling" if it were not for the competitive price-cutting of chain stores. A.

L. Waldron of Trenton, leader of the "package" liquor dealers. said the chain stores were now "trying to demoralize the liquor business in the same manner they did the grocery business." He traced the history of chain stores since the short lo years ago when every corner had its grocery store operated by a substantial citizen and family man," and charged "the chains now have their greedy eyes on the liquor business. Samuel S. Kenworthy, secretary of the State League of Municipali ties, said the measure would "inter fere with home rule," and Emanuel P.

Schacht of the Whelan Drug Stores observed only a tenth of the state's communities had limited sale of liquor to stores handling nothing else, and said "that ought to be a clue to how the public feels." Plans Complete For Dancing Party Friday Plans are completed for the old- fashioned dance Friday night in Saengerbund Hall, Somerset Street, by the North Plainfield Democratic Club.
