That Night In Dallas
Let me tell you about this affinity which has sprung up
between Bobby and Harry Raskn mutual attraction built
entirely confidence.
Eighteen months ago, tired and rngworn Bobby Tow
took fight in Dallas that just too many for
him, matters about.
Tow had been campaigning nine ceaseless weeks in Chi
cago where he had turned back such heayweghs could
be tempted to him. They were not topnotchers;
neither they stumblebum but rather the boys
who didn't know much about Bob, many caring less.
Among these was Tom Beaupre of Texas supposed to be
the hurdle Tow couldn't make Well Bobby took
of Beaupre in stride knocking him out in the fifth round
and then declared armistce back and

Bob his handlers realized how much the winters work
in Chicago had taken out of him. the trip Texas
embraced.
To Make Matters Worse
And nuly every possible chance Tow might have had
to doubleivet his superiority Beaupre the Journey to
Texas undertaken by auto, with the big, willing bus
driver sitting at the wheel most of the way.
The result in Dallas what might be expected Beaupre

where Harry the Horse" stepped into focus
Harry experienced handler of fighters happened be
in Beaupres that Texas night in fact had trained

But Tow obviously out of condition, what with hard
winter behind him and 1OOO-mie motor trip to boot
Leastways Rakin couldn't resist spping Bobs dress

with encouraging word.
Maker of Champion
Time marched along, and after while Tow became the
protege of Joe Gould, the who made champion of
Jimmy Braddock when Braddock far spent than
Tow dreamed.

In the first session of the present
Congress when 1t voted down the
income tax to avoid payment by
members Of Congress and other
Federal officials.
The subcommittee has been han
dicapped in finding q source OF
taxation which would not be OBJ

Business concerns located in other
States and doing business In the
District Of Columbia demand ex-
emption from the business privilege
tax. The generally supported sales
tax Is opposed because of what the
folks back home think of 1t. A
District income tax must not ap-
ply to any of the constituents, who
have vote. And other taxes might
be found to In some way pinch
some man or woman out in the

These difficulties in solving the
Districts revenue problem are

cially for a group Of Congressman
who never have sufficient time to

All of these factors constitute a

passed up. In fact. the very life

ASSOCIATION CHECKS
ON RELIEF NEEDS
Sixteenth Street Heights Group to
Determine Ratio of Fake
Appeals.

The Sixteenth Street Heights Cit
liens Association will conduct a
private investigation of the District
relief situation as it concerns the
groups area before taking any action
on the proposed increase of relief ap-
preparations from 100000 to $780,
900, it was announced last week.
AS suggested by President Samuel B.
Loveless, the group will individually
refer all beggars or others claiming
to be in need to various relief organ
izations. The members will then
check with the organizations to de-
termine how many of these persons
actually reported for relief.
Residents of the Sixteenth Street
Heights area have been annoyed by
beggars going from door to door,
In comparing notes on experiences
with beggars, several members Of the
association recognized the descriptions
of a couple who, accompanied by a
child, have been working the area
regularly.
If the results of the poll next month
show appreciable inconsistency be-
tween the numbers of beggars who are
sent to relief organizations and the
number who arrive, the association
will ask the police of the sixth precinct
to take action.

A New Proposal
To Repeal the 60-4O Law.

THE hearings by the Subcom-
mittee on Fiscal Affairs has
continued to produce a number of
interesting thoughts and situations.
One Of the latest is the instruction
given by the chairman to the cor
poration counsel to draft bill for
the repeal Of the 60-40 law, which
is intended to govern the pay
ment by the Federal Government
Of its equitable share OF the annual
cost Of the District Of Columbia.
The immediate cause of this latest
attack on the substantive law,
which Congress persists in ignor-
ing, was the repeated suggestions
by civic and business group spokes-
men that If the law is complied
with there will be no need for
the additional taxes which the
committee is proposing to saddle on
the District.
To many of those who study the
local taxation questions there Is q
belief that Congress would find. a
happy solution of the perplexing
problem of District financing and
fiscal relations by returning to the
definite fixed proportionate plan
for meeting the Federal share. The
present hearings have presented
one demonstration after another
that there was real wisdom shown
BY those who established the detl-
mite ratio plan. This was also dem

Terming Southwest Washington a

dent Harry F. Wender of the South
west Citizens Association asked for
appointment of 125 additional police
men for the District force.
Because there are so many small
merchants in the Southwest, bandits
and hold-up men have found it easy
to commit their crimes" he said.
"The reason they have not been caught
is that there are not enough police
men: the only way we can stop them
is with more policemen"
At a recent meeting the association
asked for 10 more officers for the
fourth precinct, regardless of the other
precincts. At the last meeting it re-
quested re-esta blishment of the old
second precinct.
