"fixer" for Chicago gambling in
terests and colorful figure in that
citys political circleS for 40 years,
died yesterday in the Federal peni-
tentiary here where he was serving
a 80 months sentence for Federal

Skidmore, prosperous junk yard
operator, would have been eligible
for parole on March %. Assistant
Warden c. T. GLADDEN. said heart

OF death and that he had been i'll

In Democratic Politics,
Skidmore, whom prosecutors called
a key figure in Chicago's gambling
setup, entered prison on March 20,
1912, after his conviction in 194l
OF evading $347, 400 in taxes on his
1937-l938 income. The conviction
was upheld on appeal and the
United States Supreme Court twice
refused a review.
Last May Skidmore's request for
a parole was denied and it was not

Since the turn of the century he

both were acquitted.
He had bail bond business in
the prohibition era, then operated
the Junk yard and raised fine cattle

Capt. James Ford Kelley, Silver
Spring war hero returned from for

cheers of thousands of residents,
who welcomed the 2l-year-old
bomber navigator in a Homecoming
celebration.
Wearing seven decora ations-and a
broad grin-the young flyer was sa-

parades and reception, concluding
with a program last night at the

More than 1000 school children
took part in parade and short pro-
gram in the afternoon in a prelude
to the evening ceremonies. The
parade was headed by the Mont

uniformed group from the Academy
Of the Holy Cross.
Capt. Kelley was introduced to his
youthful audience by Irving Ritter
pusch and presented a basket of
flowers by Duane Thompson, Ia

he was besieged by youngsters who
wanted his autograph.
More than 1900 persons attended

PUC Refuses Rate Boost
Sought by Taxicab Union

The Public Utilities Commission
Yesterday denied a petition of the
United Taxicab Drivers, Inc, to
revise group-riding rates and to
increase the charge for waiting
time.
The taxicab union had proposed
that the cheaper group rates be
charged only while more than one
person was actually in the cab and
that single passenger rates apply
at all other times. Under the pres
ent regulation, group rates must
be charged all passengers. even if
some of them occupy the cab for
only a short time.
Ihe change in waiting time rates
would have provided for q charge
OF 10 cents for every full two min
utes instead of for five minutes
as established in the present repu-
lations. The PUG pointed out that
an rates were predicated on a value
OF 80 cents an hour for the drivers
tlme, and that granting of the pro-
posed change would fix waiting time
aG tne rate of So an hour.

Millions of men and women in the
military services will not have to
pay Federal income tax this year.
Two special exemptions result in
removing many from the taxpaying
class. These are:
/. Persons serving at sea or out
side the continental United States
on March IS need not file a tax re-
turn or pay tax until some time
after they come back or the war
ends. This includes Army and
Navy nurses, WACS and other
women in active service abroad)
2. In reporting 1943 income. any
one who was in the armed forces
anywhere at any time in l943 should
not include $500 of his or her
active service pay They should
include all of any other taxable in
come.
Wives of men serving abroad also
get a postponement of tax filing if
their own income last year was less
than $1,000.
Persons serving in the armed
forces within the United States must
file return on l943 income if their
taxable income was Cd $500 or more
in the case of single person, (2)
more than 1924 in the case of any
married person or 80 $1,000 or more
In the case of any husband and wife
together. Also, any one who paid
or owed tax on 1912 income must
file return.
In addition to the $500 special
exemption, service people are also
entitled to the regular exemption of
1900 for married persons or heads
of families, $500 for single persons
and credit of $3.50 for dependent.
Since many servicemen will have
no taxable income, their wives
should note their rights to claim
these personal exemptions and
credits against their own income.)
