Tax
Assessors Threaten To Go On Strike
FROM H. KING WOOD
Sydney, Aug. 4. One of the strangest strike threats of the week came from-of all places-the Taxation De- partment.
Key officers, Tax Assessors-the men who say, how much you owe-threatened a regulation strike because they objected to an internal quiz by the Taxation Commission's own staff.
In the best traditions of the coal field mill- tants, they said that unless the quiz was called off they would hold up the tax assessments of over a million New South Wales taxpayers by querying every claim made in returns.
The white koalas were ured outside the zoo, but under Sir Edward's supervision.

ASKS FOR HER
BROTHER TO BE SENT TO PRISON
"Then He Will Learn His Lesson"
The story of the early life and upbringing of
a self-confessed thief and forger was told to Judge A. D. Blair-Kerr at Victoria District Court this morning, when the sister of Raymond John Love Spencer, aged 23, of no fixed abode, charged with four counts involving larceny, fraud and forgery, pleaded for her brother.
She told how defendant, who had four aliases. was always spoilt by his mother, and how she had often forecast that he would end up in gaol. She ended by asking that he be sent to prison-"for then he will learn his lesson, and when he comes out will be able to earn his living properly."
The defendant was sentenced to two years' hard labour.
