$50. 100000 THIS YEAR

According 10 figures obtained
from auditors Of both states, Mas
Sachusetts received a revenue Of
81 $4,000 last year on S28. 1877. 500
wagercd. while Michigan received
only S242, 500 on SO, 020, sos

OO0. OO0," Friel declared
He submitted a chart shown
racing revenues in five states sup
porting his contention that Mich
gan received the smallest revenue
from this source.
II purposely omitted New
York, Florida and Illinois be
cause the revenue taken in nv
these states n almost too fair
tastic to believe" he said. =
Friel proposed that Michigan
increase its revenue by obtaining
a percentage of the pari-mutucl
takeout and also a percentage OF
the breakage, which II does not
do now
STATE OWNS TRACK
"In all the states listed on the
chart except Michigan, per
centage OF pari-mutuel takeOut
reverts TO the state, and. i'm all
states hut one, 50 per cent of
the breakage reNerts to the
state" Friel said
lit seems of Importance also
To point out that whereas. In
most states race tracks are pri-
Nately owned and maintained,
In Michigan the only ma jOr race
track Il owned by the state and
was constructed at the expense
OF the taxpayers.
There seems little reason
under the circumstances why
the state should not be deriving
n considerably higher revenue
from this source"

Suit Challenges
Toll Charges on
Crosse IIeBridge

The right Of the Crosse lie
Bridge Co. TO exact a - cent toll
on the bridge leading to the upper
end of the island was questioned
today by Prosecutor Bowling.
Permission TO file the suit was
granted by Circuit Judge Keidan.
Involved in the dispute is legality
of the companys franchise, which
was secured from the Crosse lie
Railroad Co. in 1912,
NEVER PUBLISHED
The original bridge franchise
was granted Peter jacobson in
1910 by the county board of SUI
pervisorS. The franch ise was
turned over 10 the railroad com
pany and later sold TO the present
operators.
1t is claimed by the prosecutor
that the original franchise was
never published and is therefore
illegal
II is further claimed that. I'M
der Michigan law. a franchise is
only good for 30 years.
Ward Culver, president of the
Crosse lie Bridge Co, said that
company stockholders numbered
300.

War Contract Funds
Unfreezing Urged as
Postwar Job Aid

Delays In the release of business
funds now tied up in war produc-
ton will cause needless postwar un-
employment, the Committee for Eco
nomic Development predicted yes
terday in report recommending
legislation for prompt settlement
of war contracts.
Rapid unfreeZing of working cap
ital, the committee declared in its
first report, will be Of particular i'm
portance because thousands of small
manufacturers will have their linn
tied financial resources so tied up in
war work they will be unable to con-
vert to civilian production until
their working capital is released.
100000 Prime Contracts.
The report, prepared by the CEDs
Research Committee, pointed out
that at the present time there are
100000 prime war contracts and
several times as many subcontracts
aggregating between 60 and IS bill
lion dollars.
At the close of the last war, the
committee stated. there were ap-
proXimately $4,000 war contracts, ag-
gregating s5 OOO. 10000 and despite
strenuous efforts of Government Of
ficials 10 expedite settlements, there
were more than 1000 unsettled con-
tracts a year after the war ended"
The committee said the first re-
ouirement for satisfactory solu-
ton 10 the contract settlement prob
lem is coordination of the policies
and procedures OF the various con-
tracing agencies. Contending that
there is already wide diversity be-
tween the contract settlement proce-
dures Of the contracting agencies,
the committee said the problem was
particularly acute for the thousands
Of small firms serving as subcon-
tractors to many prime contractors
and thus becoming involved in the
practices of several contracting
,gencies.
Four Recommenda tions.
The report carried the following
recommendations:
l. Creation by Congress of con-
tract settlement board, composed OF
representatives of each contracting
agency and with chairman ap-
pointed by the President. The
boards function would be to unity
and simplify contract settlement
procedures.
2. Decentralization of the admin
istration of contract settlement pro-
cedure to give the authority to make
final settlements to the contracting
agencies, governed by the general
policies laid down by the contract
settlement board.
3. Temporary expansion Of exist
ing legal machinery, possibly
through setting up branch courts Of
claim in various sections of the
country to handle disputed claims.
4. Mandatory loans to contractors
and subcontractors to cover sub
stantial portion of proper settlement
claims with overpayment of loans to
be paid back to the Government
with interest after the final settle
ment is made
The CED is a nonprofit organiZa-
ton established by businessmen ito
stimulate all private employers to
prepare as part of their war job to
reach high-level postwar employ
ment and production as quickly as
possible after the war ends"

; COP
Tax Plans
Rejected

WASHINGTON, April 20 UNS)
Having rejected three COP
compromise proposals, Demo
cratic members of the tax-writing
House ways and means committee
were summoned TO a special con-
ference today in a final effort to
solve the pay-as-you go problem.
Indications were that the il
Democratic committeeman would
be asked TO line up behind a pro-
posal advanced several times by
Chairman Doughton Cd of North
Carolina, which would cancel APP
proximately 40 per cent of the
1912 tax liability TO place tax col
lections on a current basis.
At a three-hour session last
night in Speaker Rayburn's offices.
the Republicans offered three pay
as-you-go proposals and the Demo-
Gratis rejected all of them on the
ground that they entailed too
much cancellation of the 1912 tax
burden.
