WOULD STOP DIRECT TAX Abolition of the direct state tax on real estate for New York state is being strongly urged by the New York Asso- ciation of Real Estate boards. The proposal is in line with the program for general taxation adjustment recommend- ed by the Natural Association of Real Estate Boards in action recently taken at its annual meeting in Dallas, Texas, in January. The National Association's program of adjustment would relieve real estate altogether of state taxation, as has been done in Pennsylvania and North Carolina, and would give it the principal burden of city and county taxa- tion. New Trier Lightweight Cagers Clinch Pennant New Trier high school's invincible lightweight basketball team walked away with the Suburban league cham- pionship Friday evening by defeating Thornton 34-20 at Harvey. Although the playing was fast and Thornton had the advantage of be- ing on their home floor, the issue of the game was never in doubt, and near the end of the last period an entire- ly new team was sent in by New Trier. Capt. Mickey Emrich was kept out of the game by an injured foot, re- ived in the course of the tournament at Deerfield not long ago.
