BRITISH BOOKIES FEEL
POVERTY'S HARSH PINCH
Possibility of Betting Tax, With
Even Harder Times, Spurs
Group to Action.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. January 25.-The latest
section of the community to feel the
pinch of postwar poverty and com
plain of bad times is that of the book
makers. who see looming ahead the
possibility of a betting tax. Through
their trade body. the Bookmakers and
Backers' Protection Association, they
have sent a circular to the executive
committees of the different English
race meetings, asking for reduced ad-
mission fees to race-course betting
rings.
The association's secretary, in max
ing the request, pleads that the book
makers are in bad way, owing to the
shortage of money, and that the vol
ume of betting has dwindled two
thirds since the boom years immediate
~ after the war Among those con-
versant with the betting business this
plea appears to be justified, for, al
though more people than ever indulge
in betting. it is for such small amounts
that the money in circulation is enor-
mously reduced, and the bookmakers'
profits likewise.
