R,,t we had ~ reno,.t that work.

But we had to report that work
out, so pressed on through the
storm, finally reaching the thriving
little city of Kenosha where for
some few weeks the Bomber has
been the magnet to draw thou
sands of visitors Incidentally also
thousands of dollars to enrich the
Golfers of Kenosha merchants and
help somewhat the overhead of the
famous fighters camp upkeep.
Once in the city it was an easy
matter to locate the training
ground at the extreme end of the
town. An enclosed park used by
Kenosha for it's sport exhibitions
hard by the shore of the lake bar
red spectators until the required
do re mi was Forthcoming. But
there were no ticket sellers or
ticket takers today. The gates
stood wide open. Joe Louis and
his encourage had been routed by
the storm. The circus seats to ac-
commodate many hundreds were
there wet and empty. The padded
enclosed ring deserted, with an adj
ditional platform that had held the
punching bag. These gave US 81
lent greeting.
When we drove up to the gate
we found one solitary individual
loading his machine with the goods
of the concessionaire, preparatory
to taking them back to town. He
was a tall colored man with a hat
pulled down over his eyes. At first
we thought it was Joe Louis him
self but a little later concluded he
must be brother or cousin to Step
in-Fetch-it. The slowest talking,
dumbest individual we ever met
who seemed to know just about
nothing. By dint of much and pa
tient questioning we drew from
him enough to, locate our quarry.
After brief inspection of the rain
soaked training camp we FASTENED
away in time to witness the events
told above.
Louis is certainly a non-com-
initial person and we could not
learn if the hasty change of plans
were considered a jinx or good
omen. After this afternoons ex-
hibition he was to be spirited away
somewhere until time for the fight.
Recalling a somewhat similar move
just before the fatal Schmeling
battle we hope it will not be Chi
cago.
Back in Chicago a corner boot
black talked to us while he re-
moved the CRIME from our shoes.
Said he: eff Joe Louis wins or
loses the fight Tuesday, there's
sWre to be street fighting after
wards. Pm going to streak it for
home"
Think We'll take his tip and do
likewise.

Dell Carey Finds
Nothing But Rain
At Louis Camp
By Dell Carey

Kenosha, Wis, Sunday, June 20.
"A violent downpoor of rain ac-
companied with flashes of light
ming and roar of thunder played
havoc with Joe Louis last outdoor
workout, in fact made it necessary
to leave the enclosure on the lake
front. The workout was carried to
the Moose Hall. A packed house
saw Louis demonstrate his prowess
upon his sparmates in six fierce
rounds. Louis work changed the
opinions of many who had begun
to doubt his fitness. It was clear
to this writer that Louis can still
be hit with a right hand blow. A
number of them were parked on
his jaw and Joe showed no liking
for any of them, which leaves us
still guessing.
Your correspondent, learning
that Louis would break training on
Sunday, grabbed a taxi in the early
afternoon for the so mile ride from
Chicago to Kenosha. At that the
elements nearly brought defeat.
Scarce had we left the city with
the sun shining and the weather
warm enough to crowd the beach
of Lake Michigan with men and
women in the abbreviated bathing
suits fitted for the occasion when
the sun hid himself behind the
racing black clouds and in almost
the next moment torrent of rain
struck, obscuring the right-of-way
save as binding flash of light
ming cut through the darkness to
be followed by detonations of ear
splitting thunder.

Warn Driuers to Be Careful
"Master the Machine Before 1t Masters

Prepared Safety Talks.

Drive with your head instead Of your

pert of the Metropolitan Police, who
has an aptitude for incorporating
safety rules in slogans, today advised
the automobile operators OF Washing
ton.
Capt. Smith prepared a series of
five talks on better driving, in which
he offers these slogans, among others:
Master the machine before mas
ters you; the best way is the safe way;
it is easier to stop two feet than four
wheels (for the pedestrians); preven-
ton Of accidents is prevention of suf-
fering, be careful; safe conditions are
good, but safe men are better. He
offers also a little poem:
BE sure to use your eyes and ears,
And think little, too.
And you will catch an accident
Before it catches you"
Obey the simple rules of the road
Capt. Smith urges, and help GU down

The safe Of q tire company store at

The front door to the store was

lock to the front door unlocked and
the door bolted. He called Manager
H. B. Cowden. Cowden and Tracy
found the back door open. The outside
door Of the safe, locked last night, was
found open and an inner door had
been wrenched of and lay on the floor
"A number Of checks were left in the
safe.

and then when they were told they

would have had to stick their hand

"They tell stories about the lady

even that type of signal Is better than
none at all, because If I am driving

UNDER SCRUTINY
House Subcommittee Named
to Weigh Numbers Racket
Measure.

special subcommittee of the
House District Committee was ap-
pointed today by Chairman Norton to
consider the Senate approved bill de-
signed to tighten the gambling laws
here and to destroy the so-called
numbers racket"
The subcommittee was named fol-
lowing receipt Of report from Leslie
c. Garnett, United States attorney
for the District. explaining the pur-
pose OF certain provisions in the
measure with which members Of the
full committee found objections sew
eral weeks ago. AS result of these
objections the committee referred the
bill to Corporation Counsel Elwood H.
Steal for revision.
Representative Palmisano, Demo-
crat, of Maryland was selected chair
man Of the special subcommittee. The
other members are Representatives
McGehee, Democrat, of Mississippi
and Brewster, Republican. Of Maine.
Garnett Cites Present Law.
Garnett pointed out that one sec
ton OF the bill criticized in the COM
mittee, which would authorize police
to search house on suspicion that
gambling was being engaged in is sub
stantlally identical with a section of
the District code which has been in
force for many years. This section.
Garnett said, authorizes issuance of
search warrant upon complaint,
under oath before the Police Court or
a justice Of the peace, setting forth
that the affiant believes and has good
cause to believe that there are con-
cealed IN any house or place articles
stolen or any gaming table. de-
vice. or apparatus kept for the pur-
pose of unlawful gaming, or any lot
terry tickets or lottery policies par
ticularly describing the house or
place to be searched, the things to be
seized, substantially alleging the Of
tense in relation thereto and describ-
ing the person to be seized"
As construed by the District courts,
Garnett said. this section of the code
"emphatically does not authorize the
issuance of search warrants upon mere
suspicion or information and belief"
Another section objected to was one
which it was believed would authorize
the arrest of innocent purchasers of
numbers slips who happen to have
them in their possession.
New York Precedent Cited.
Garnett explained that this section
is modelled after a section of the New
York penal law, and is not without
precedent both with respect to its form
Evening star., 1937-03-11

and with respect to the severity OF its
provisions.
He also pointed out that this section
is directed at numbers runners "and
will be an invaluable weapon in their
apprehension" 1T must be assumed, :"
he added, that the prosecuting ON
GERS and the police would use reason
able intelligence and discretion in ap-
plying the statute to commercial
gamblers only"
1T is suggested Garnett concluded,
that if the possession of numbers
slips warrants arrest, then possession
of racing forms should be made a
crime, 1t seems clear to me, however,
that there is distinction between a
newspaper or news bulletin and the
very records and instruments OF crime.
A racing form of newspaper containing
racing information is susceptible Of
lawful use, but numbers slips used in
carrying on the numbers racket can
be used only for the purpose of vio-
lating the law"

Earlier assertion 1t
Is War Prize.
b. the Associated Press

SALAMANCA, Spain, March IL.
The insurgent Spanish regime ON
cially announced today that the gov
ernment munitions freighter Mar Can
tabrico had been sunk, contrary to
previous assertions 1t had fallen a
prize OF war to insurgent warships.
The vessel carried more than 81
100000 worth OF munitions from New
York and Vera Cruz, Mexico.
(The Mar Cantabrico previously was
reported to have been taken to Fer
rol, fortified insurgent port on the
northwest tip Of Spain, after being
shelled and captured by the cruiser
Canarias, while attempting to run the
insurgent blockade.
(The insurgent announcement Deep

surgents had removed the huge cargo
of war stores and then scuttled the
freighter or whether it had sunk en-
route to Ferrol in contradiction to the
report Of its arrival)

Your
Income Tax
Not Always Necessary for
Dependents to Live
Under Same Roof.

A head Of family Is defined by in
come tax regulations as "an individual
who actually supports and maintains
in the household one or more persons
who are closely connected with him by
blood relationship, relationship by
marriage or by adoption and whose
right to exercise family control and
provide for these dependent individ-
uals is based upon some moral or legal
obligation" The exemption allowed 4
head Of family is $4,000. The phrase
in one household" may be interpreted
as meaning the taxpayers personal
residence, an apartment, rooms in q
boarding house, hotel, etc.
Under certain circumstances 1t is not
necessary that the taxpayer and his
dependents live under one roof during
the entire taxable year in order that
the taxpayer may be allowed the ex-
emption. If the common home is
maintained and the parent Is away on
business or . child Is away at school
or on q visit, the exemption Is allow
able Moreover, If = parent Is obliged
to maintain his dependent children
with relatives or in boarding house.
while he lives elsewhere, the exemp-
ton still applies. II, howver, with
out necessity. the dependent makes
his home elsewhere, the benefactor Is
not the head of q family
The same rule IS applicable to the
term living together" in the case Of
a husband and wife. If occasionally
and temporarily the husband Is away
on business or the wife on visit, the
common home being maintained, the
$4,000 exemption still applies. The
unavoidable absence Of husband or
wife at q sanatorium does not preclude
the exemption. But II the husband
continuously makes his home at one
place and the wife at another, they are
not living together within the meaning
of the revenue act.
