In Washington on May 28 the Senate’s heated fight over a 1.75 percent sales tax delayed the billion dollar revenue bill. Proponents led by Senator Walsh claimed a majority while opponents warned of a late political push and questioned press involvement.

Separately in Seattle on May 31 Melville Dollar, 51, son of Capt. Robert Dollar, died of a heart attack in Vancouver, B C.
