Race Track Gambling Bill
Hearing Set for Tomorrow.

ONCE more the civic, church and
moral forces are set to come
to grips with the advocates of legal
lied race track gambling before a
subcommittee of the House District
Committee. For four years at
tempts have been made to secure
such legislation from Congress, but
the opposition has been too united
and vigorous for the advocates.
At the opening Of the present
Congress the Norton bill (H. r.
3022) was introduced on January
IA, 1887, and pressed for passage.
The bill was reported out by the
House District Committee on Feb
ruary 4, 1887. On March 10 of
last year authority was given to
print the Seventy-fourth Congress
hearings and on the oath the op-
position members of the District
Committee succeeded in having the
bill recalled from the House CAL
endar. Action on the bill was in
definitely postponed on May II.
1887, and the organized civic forces
heaved a sigh of relief over having
again defeated race track gambling.
The hearing before the House
District subcommittee tomorrow
will be on the Sacks bill III. r.
9684) which Is in most respects
identical with the defeated Norton
bill. Under the Sacks bill members
of the racing board must all be
residents of the District and it is
further provided that mo official,
member of any board Of directors,
or person financially interested in
or directly connected with the
operation of any race track or race
meeting licensed under this act
shall be member of said board"
Board members would draw salaries
of $2,500 per annum and be re-
quired to give bond in the sum of
$5o,000 each.
Like the Norton bill the Sacks
bill would legalize race track
gambling by the parimutuel system.
This is a mechanical substitute for
the old bookmaker system.
The proponents lay particular
stress on the fact that the District
would obtain license fees and in
addition would share in the profits
from the gambling. Great emphasis
is being placed on the District need
for additional revenue and this is
pointed out as a painless method
of replenishing the Districts
treasury, made lean through Uncle
Sans failure to meet his just share
of the District expenses.
The problem is one of either
supressing or encouraging form of
gambling which was banished
from the District years ago by pop
ular demand. It Is not q question
Of legalizing horse racing, for that

New Liquor Threat
In Residence Sections.

WHILE the very limited local
option features of the Alco-
holic Beverage Control Act have
been far from satisfactory, still
citizens in some Of the outlying
sections have succeeded in protect
ing themselves from a complete in
vasion by liquor stores. Citizen
groups. recognizing that the act
clothes the District Commissioners
with authority to set aside dry
areas, have at various times be-
sought the passage of regulations
by the Commissioners to protect
residential sections. The Commits
sioners, always begging for more
power as to other subjects have
declined to use these powers which
the A. B. c. law gives them.
One of the newest proposals to
amend the law in the interest of
liquor business and against the in
terest of the residents and property
owners of the residential sections
was introduced on March 8, by
Representative Palmisano, Demo-
crat, of Maryland, by request. This
bill, H. r. 9790 proposes to amend
the act by substituting q new
paragraph Of section IA (a) for
the existing paragraph. The law
requires that, Before . license Is
issued the Board shall satisfy It.
Evening star., 1938-03-27
BY JESSE C. SUTER.

NUMBERS bill action has been
assured by the House tomor-
row by Chairman Palmisano of
the District Committee. Just what.
if any, other District measures will
be presented for action on this Dis
trict day has not been indicated.
The fiscal affairs subcommittee
of the House District Committee is
understood to have about concluded
its work on the revenue bill. The
chief feature is an unfair income
tax with members of Congress, their
secretaries and certain high Gov
ernment officials exempted. Sug-
gestion by representatives of the
Board of Trade to lay tax on beer
and hard liquor was rejected by
the committee 1t is understood
that the tax planned by the sub
committee will raise twice as much
as needed to meet budget require
ments.
Chairman Palmisano is quoted as
predicting that the tax bill with
its income tax feature will be
passed by the House. The bill is
expected to be called up for action
on April II, which is District day.
Hearings have been announced
by the judiciary subcommittee of
the House District Committee for
tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock on
the bill to legalize race track
gambling and on the drastic crime
control bill. The crime control
measure would make life sentence
mandatory for the first offense of
armed robbery and the death
penalty for the second offense. This
bill will be considered first.
The District appropriation bill
was sent back to conference by the
House on Tuesday upon declining
to accept the Senate plan for a
try-out of parking meters. There
is complete agreement between the
houses except as to this one pro-
vision which requires no expendi-
lures of public funds. It is pre-
dicted that an early agreement will
be reached and the bill sent to the
President.
Substitution of an elected mayor
and council of 25 for the present
Board of District Commissioners is
proposed in bill introduced in the
House last week. The salary of the
mayor is fixed at $4,000. Nomina-
ton of the mayor would be by petit
tion signed by 1000 eligible voters
and councilmen would require 1000
signatures to be nominated The
right to vote under this bill would
be given to all persons over 81 years
OF age who have been residents of
the District for 80 days preceding
the election. Voting residence in
one Of the States would not dis
qualify from the exercise of the
voting privilege here.
During the past week the records
of the Police Court have been
moved into the new court building
on Judiciary square and tomorrow
morning the judges in their new
silk robes will begin dispensing
justice in the fine new surround
ings. Many citizens familiar with
the old building are hopeful that
the new building will always be
carefully cleaned and kept attrac-
tive.

Civic Problems, Civic Bodies
Numbers Bill Action Apdited-A New Liquor
Threat-Hearings on National Representation
Now Scheduled for May.

SELF as to a number of enumer-
ated requirements among which is
That the place for which the
license is to be issued is an appro-
pirate one considering the charac-
ter Of the premises, it's surround
ings, and the wishes of the persons
residing or owning property in the
neighborhood Of the premises for
which the license is desired" The
'neighborhood" has been construed
to be rather extended area where
there is a community of interest.
The language which the Palm
isano bill would substitute is as
follows: That the place for which
the license is to be issued is an ap-
propriate one considering the
character of the premises. its sur
roundings. and the wishes of the
persons residing or owning proper
ty within radius of 900 feet of the
boundary lines of the lot or parcel
of ground upon which is situated
the place for which the license is
desired" The change would re-
move from consideration the re-
monstrances filed by any persons
residing or owning property in the
neighborhood beyond the 600 feet
limit The A. B. c. Board would
not be required to consider and be
influenced by any such objectors.
Some civic workers understand
the proposed change to be a relief
measure for some applicants who
have failed to get licenses because
of neighborhood objections. Ia
koma and Petworth are believed to
be the sections at which the legis-
lation is thought to be particularly
aimed. Associations in these and
other residential sections are
getting ready to enter a vigorous
objection to the approval of the
bill.
