Governor Of Florida
Opposes Federal Tax
On MufueI Beftinu
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
Gov. Spessard Holland OF Florida
told the Senate Finance Committee
today that imposition Of a proposed
5 per cent Federal tax on pari-
mutuel wagering would result in de-
struction Of the racing industry.
The tax is included in the House.
passed revenue bill, on which the
Senate group Is now conducting
hearings, and the Florida Governor
was Joined in opposing it by vari-
Gus State racing commission off,
cials.
Gov. Holland said the Florida
State constitution would have to
be amended and special session of
the Legislature would be required ii
the bill passed, because sit would
conflict with State regulations"
Contention Supported.
O.. F. Connors, chairman Of the
Massachusetts State Racing (pm-
mission, testified the same c, ndi-
tion prevailed in his State and in
many others of the % which have
legahzed racing.
Herbert Bayard Swope, chairman
Of the New York State Racing Com
mission, asserted the right to race is
definitely State function" granted
by the Legislature or by constitu-
tional amendment. Mr.. Swope also
told the committee that since jan
uary /, 1912, racing has contributed
$7,200,000 cash on the barrel to
various war relief agencies"
When Senator Lucas, Democrat,
Of Illinois said the proposed levy
appeared to be IAN attempt Of the
Federal Government to invade the
field Of State taxation" Gov. Hol-
land nodded agreement.
We've got to play fair In our
State and withdraw from taxation
fields which we think belong to the
Federal Government" Gov. Holland
said. 1--WE feel very keenly that
control OF legalized wagering is a
State right"
Warns Against "Bookies."
Senator Lucas also commented
that he believed that where there
is one bookie now, 10 would spring
up If this bill passed." Again Gov.
Holland agreed
The Governor declared that "in
addition to all its other faults, the
bill is poorly written and the Ian
guage is not clear as to how the tax
is to be imposed"
Senator Vandenberg, Republican,
Of Michigan inquired how should it
read?' and Senator Andrews. Demo-
crat, of Louisiana interposed, ut
should be eliminated"
Gov. Holland stressed his view
that leach State has set up what is
thought to be the maximum burden
of taxation which will still allow
racing to continue, so if the Federal
Government imposes another tax it
means the industry will collapse"

STRAND

When a star takes a leaf from the notebook of the character she portrays on the screen-that is news! Betty Grable, who plays Sweet Rosie O'Grady" in the new film which co-stars Robert Young and Adolphe Menjou with her, doesn't look as if she needed to take a leaf from anyone's notebook, but according to Betty, she has.
 Betty, whose luscious looks and varied talents have accorded her fame all over the world, was happy to appear in the title role of the 20th Century Fox Technicolor musi- cal hit which begins today at the Strand Theater for second smash week. But Betty, because of her glamour, etc, etc, is one of the busiest young actresses on the screen. What with screen, radio and camp appearances, time is para mount with her.
 Before the war we used to worry about our money budgets" Betty says. "Now we have the same num- Der of hours in a day, but 1t takes about five times longer to get things done. So found myself counting time as carefully as used to count dollars. Rosie O'Grady' had a similar problem.
 Rosie clop-clopped along behind Q horse. She wrote notes instead of telephoning. She had to figure her time carefully to arrange her elabo- rate hairdos and get into her com plicated clothes.
 Betty Grable appears as Made

a small Southern town shortly af- ter the turn-o -of-the-century. One night scene, in particular, when the infuriated citizens parade through the streets after they have hung McNamara in effigy, is unforget- tably real.
 Unlike most of his roles, Jimmy doesn't get the girl in Johnny Come Lately. Seeing her reunited with the boy she loves, and feeling that he has restored to his benefactress come of the glories that were once hers, he goes blitheiy on his way to find romance and adventure on whatever road he chooses.
 "Buckskin Frontier" with Rich ard Dix and Jane Wyatt Is the sec- ond hit of the program.

STATE

Capacity attendance at Warmers State theater yesterday marked the opening performances of the new Cagney hit, Johnny Come Lately" with James Cagney in the starring role of William Cagney's first pro- duction.
 Academy Award winner Jimmy appears in what is declared his best role to date in this fascmating drama penned by Louis Bromfield and the first film to come from the newly organized William Cagney pro- ductionS.
 The new film presents the favor tte star in the role of a vagabond newspaperman who arrives in a small southwestern town just in time to aid the elderly woman pulp fisher of the towns oldest news paper, the Shield and Banner. Grace George, famous actress from the Broadway stage, makes her debut in pictures in the role of the pulp fisher.

 Cagney, playing in his first film since winning the coveted Oscar, has one of the most engaging starring roles in his career as Tom Richards, the Johnny Come Lately of the story; about the frail widow who, ever since the death of her publish CT husband, has made a gallant fight to carry on his newspaper and his home in the same manner as he did.
 The film is fast-paced throughout and has all the color and flavor of
