In a sharply worded letter to
President John H. Hanna, of the
Capital Transit Company, Chair

"We have been seeking to de-
termine the possible cause for
these complaints" Mr.. Elgen

REP. JENCKES
ASSAILS D. {.
TAX BOOST
Asks Representation
For Citizens on Fiscal
Committee Here
By FRANK NJ. SMITH

Saying she was astounded at
the revelation that Washington is
facing an additional $4,000, 900
tax levy, Representative Virginia
E. Jenckes CD, Indiana, member
of the House District Committee,
today sent a demand to the Dis
trict Commissioner that the tax
payers of the city be given repre-
sentation on the fiscal committee
now conducting a survey Of the
tax problem.
IT have been impressed with
the unfair and unequal tax bur.
den which the citizens of the Dis
trict of Columbia are being forced
to carry" she wrote.
Greatly Surprised
IT am astounded and greatly
surprised to find that the citizens
of the District of Columbia face
an eight million dollar tax levy
increase.
"I am greatly surprised to find
that the citizens of the District
of Columbia have had practically
no opportunity by ballot or other
wise to express their views or de-
termine the basis upon which
they are to be taxed.
This surprise is further ampli-
fled by the action Of the District
of Columbia Commissioners in the
appointment Of a special commit
tee composed of six minor Off
cia1s who have been making q
study Of the fiscal relations Of
the District Of Columbia without
the aid or assistance of the tax
payers of the District Of Colun-
bia..
Realizing that the Commission
ers of the District of Columbia are
having difficulty in reconciling the
increase in the cost of governing
of the National Capital with the
Shrinkage in the Federal share of
that cost. I am nevertheless
greatly alarmed and disturbed
over many complaints that have
reached us in regard to the pro-
posed increase in local taxation"
II shall vigorously oppose any
consideration of new tax bills for
the District of Columbia unless
the taxpayers and citizens Of the
District have had an ample oppor-
tunity to debate and study these
bills as thew are considered and
prepared from the beginning"

HOME SOUGHT
FOR PET CAT

He lives in the heart Of traffic,
so to protect his youthful reckless
ness, his mistress is going to give
him away-to someone who can
furnish a home with a yard and
where traffic is not so heavy.
This pet is a beautifully marked
black and white male cat, with
golden colored eyes. 1t is 11s years
old.
The cat will make someone a
fine pet, but his present owner
prefers that he have a home
where the are no small children.
as he seems to have terror of
them. This cat has learned to
retrieve like a dog.
If you are interested in having
this cat for your pet, please notify
the pet editor of The Times.

'Gypped'

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Nov. %.
Indicted on four shooting charges,
two colored youths figured they
were getting off easy here yester-
day when their attorney told them
he could "get them off" for 18
months. They agreed and pleaded
guilty to the charges.
They were sentenced by Judge
william P. Wools of the Alexan-
dria corporation court and taken
back to city Jail.
Both youths, John Wilson, alias
"Dippy DOLL" and Winden Joyner,
who were arrested several months
ago following a shooting party in
a local colored beer parlor, smti-
ingly entered the Jail with the
thought of going to the "big
house." getting credit for time
already served and half of the
sentence off for good behavior,
and being free men in seven short
months.
Then came reality. Fellow pris-
oners informed the pair that the
Judge meant 18 months for each
one of them guys you fellows took
a pot shot at"
"Dippy'' Immediately let out a
yell that brought the jailer run
ming. He said:
What the his going on in
here"
"Lawd, boss" said Dippy, "does
these fellows know what they are
talking bout when they say me
and my frien' got four different
18 months to pull?"
That's right, Dippy."
''Then ask the jedge if he won't
do this thing over again. There's
been a misunderstanding"
But there wasn't.

ABC MEMBER
SAYS|TCAN'T
BEST0PPED
Sees Profitable Source
OfNeeded Revenue
For District

Mrs. Agnes K. Mason, member
Of the District Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board, declared herself to-
day in favor Of legalization of all
forms of gambling in the District
Of Columbia.
In taking this stand, Mrs.
Mason Joined District Attorney
Leslie c. Garnett and several
other District officials, who believe
the municipality should derive
revenues from gambling, which
they contend cannot be stamped
out in the city.
IT am certain you will never be
able to stop gambling in the Dis
trict," Mrs. Mason said, 80 I am
in favor Of legislation Of all forms
Of gambling. In this way the Gov
eminent could derive much need
ed revenue from a source, which
is now considered criminal.
FavOrS State Action
II think that every State should
legalize gambling. It is something
we always have had and always
will have, no matter what steps
are taken to stop it."
Mrs. Mason's announcement
came Immediately on the heels of
the revelation yesterday that Wal
ter O'Hara, president of the Mar.
raganSett Park race track in
Rhode Island, has taken an option
on the Benning race track here.
at which races will be held If
Congress approves legislation legal
izing horse racing in this city.
Mrs. Mason expressed her view
during q press conference in
which it was announced that the
ABC board had dismissed charges
Of permitting gaming and permit
ting o lottery to be operated in
the Tower Pharmacy, Fourteenth
and K Streets Northwest.
Basis Of Charges
Carl Gerber, proprietor Of the
pharmacy, faced the board at a
hearing yesterday. The gaming"
charge grew out of operation Of
Skill BALI and "claw" machine
games in the store. The board
took the view that since both Po-
lice and District Supreme Court
juries held these devices to be
games Of skill and not gambling
games, the board could not deN.
ate from the rulings.
The lottery" charge grew out
Of sale by a man, not an en-
ploye Of the store, Of tickets in
q football pool. The board
found no evidence to hold the
proprietor responsible for the ac-
ton Of the ticket seller.
The hearing marked the first
occasion in which the board had
considered the question of taking
q liquor dealers license from
him because Of gaming" on his
premises.

ELKHART, Ind, June 26. -
Authorities today sought the cause
OF an explosion which killed two
small boys and fatally injured a
third while they were playing in
the back yard of their home here.
Charles Canen, IA, and Laverne,
10. a brother, we're killed instantly.
Wayne Canen, 8, another brother,
died in a hospital a short time after
the explosion.
Preliminary examination led au-
tho1itieS to believe that the boys had
set off dynamite caps, found while
they were playing in a dump near
their home.
The victims were three Of y chill
dren of Mr.. and Mrs. Orville Canen.
The father was working on an FERA
project at the time. The mother, Mrs.
Bessie Canen, was the first to
reach the scene.
Mrs. Frank Hatfield, living more
than a block away from the Canen
home, was missed narrowly by a
piece of flying metal hurled by the
blast.
