for Rad when the days are too long
or too hot.
He has no trouble taking the dogs
on street cars and buses and many
conductors are old friends of Felix.
When he first started out with the
dogs, he had some trouble. Once he
landed in Chevy Chase by mistake
and had to take taxi home. When
the other drivers heard how Felix
had been misled, they took up a COL
lection, which netted enough to get
the blind man around town for
long time.
Felix lost his sight as a result of
boxing professionally. He is a native
Filipino and served in the United
States Navy. At one time, he says,
he had half a million dollars, but
was cheated out of almost all of it.

He has refused to accept relief

that he sells lot of peanuts because
the sports fans think it brings them
luck to buy from him. Some people
hunt for a long time to get Felix's
peanuts and on good days he sells
as much as $50 worth. Some days
he only takes in a few cents.

Got Dog for 81.
Rad is his special pride. Felix
got this dog at the pound for 81

Probation Association
Need Of Funds 10
Save Youths Cited
Effort to Expond
Preventive Treatment
Of Crime Stressed

The National Probation Associa-
ton, which seeks to give youthful
offenders against the law another
chance, needs the help of Washing
ton citizens.
With probation pronounced
Americas most outstanding contri-
button to the practical and construc-
tive treatment of crime, an urgent
appeal for funds with which to carry
on the work of the organization was
issued today by Newbold Noyes, as
sociate editor of The Evening Star,
a member of the associations Board
of Trustees.
On the occasion Of the annual
membership campaign, Mr.. Noyes
said:
Il am sure tht you will agree with
me that the hardened adult GRIM
inal should be given no leniency
But have you noted how many boys
in their teens come before the
courts, some for serious offenses?
Sees Future Jeopardized.
'How about these boys? Should
they be sent to prison to associate
with hardened offenders and prob
ably come out confirmed criminals
themselves?
I'm seeking to solve this prob
lem, the National Probation Asso-
citation is working to develop in
every community well-organized ju-
venile courts and probation depart
ments in all adult courts, not only
to rebuild tens of thousands of in
dividual young lives, but to save the
country, the city-every taxpayer
in fact-the enormous expense of
maintaining an increasing criminal
population.
Dollar Now Saves 10.
every dollar spent now for this
preventive work will save $40 OF the
taxpayers money in the immediate
present as well as in the dangerous
future. 1t costs far less to set q
boy or girl straight than to house a
hardened criminal.
THE association has given active
service in developing probation In
Washington. Its continued as
slstance is needed here and should
be extended to other cities and
States"
Contributions should be made pay
able to the National Probation AS
sociation and sent to Mr.. Noyes at
The Star.
Richard A. Chappell, supervisor OF
the Probation System at the De-
partment of Justice, is an active
member of the professional council
OF the association. The nationa
officers are: Timothy N. Pfeiffer
president: Judge George w. Smyth

FDR COMMITS
SELF AS FOR
TAX REpEAL5
Asks Substitute Be Sought
for Levy on Undistrib-
uted Profits

WASHINGTON, May 12.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt today said he is in
favor of repeal of the undistributed
profits tax, provided some other
method can be found TO prevent
what he called legal tax evasion.
The President emphasized again
his contention that in case of any
corporation levies being repealed
there will have TO be found a sys-
tenn of substituting taxes to bring
in the same amount of revenue to
the Treasury.
Further, President Roosevelt said
he would submit results of tax
studies to Congressional committees,
but said these studies are not ne
cessarily to be in the form of recon-
mendations.
Those who have been clamoring
for removal of deterrents to business
in the tax structure have failed to
point out how the revenues that
may be lost will be raised. the Presi-
dent said.

the Senate Mining Committee which
has advised the Senate that if min

the Senate Committee points out
that conditions are changed now and
the work should be done.
