AutOiStS Are Given Final Warning On Tax Stamps

Motor vehicle owners and oper- ators were given 8 final reminder today by Collector of Internal Revenue, Frank w. Kraemer, that June 30 was the last day motor vehicles could be operated on pub- lie highways without the new use" tax stamp.
 He warned that immediate en- forcement of this tax could be ex- pected from deputy collectors throughout the state and that the penalty for owning or operating a motor vehicle on public highways after June 30 without the stamp was a $25 fine or Imprisonment of not more than 30 days. The best treatment that violators could ex- pect if their failure to purchase a stamp was not willful, was the privilege of submitting an offer in compromise of five dollars in lieu of prosecution.
 The cost of this stamp is five dol lars and 1t is available at all post offices and revenue offices in Hart ford, New Haven, New Britain, Bridgeport, Stamford, and Water bury. All post offices will have the stamp on sale through July 31, how ever after that date the five dollar stamp will be sold only at first and second class post offices while stamps for fractions of year will be on sale only at revenue offices.
 Owners of boats using motor sails, with an overall length of 16 feet or over must pay 8 use tax, which varies according to the size of the boat. Tax stamps for boats may be secured by filing form 32 at the col lectors office in Hartford.

By almost unanimous consen- sus, Tom Dewey's success has been founded upon that genius which somebody once defined as ian infinite capacity for taking pains."
 The legend of invincibility which he attached to himself, as prosecuting attorney. arose from the fact that he would not go to court until his evidence was so overwhelming as to be almost foolproof.
 By following similar lines in pre- pairing for each step in his legisla- tive and administrative programs, as governor of New York, he has caused state Democrats to complain that they can not catch him in a useful mistake.
 Dewey became an employe of the taxpayers on March 3l, 1881, when he was made chief assistant to United States Attorney George z. Medalie of the Southern District of New York. Since then he has been in private practice only for a few brief months, in 1934-5. Most of the past l3 years have been spent in five jobs-as MT. Medalie's chief assistant, briefly as his successor, as special rackets prosecutor in Man haitian by appointment of Governor Lehman, as district attorney of New York county (which is Manhattan) , and as governor of New York.
 CAPABLE ASSISTANTS
 In each position his method of operation was identical. He sur- rounded himself with the most capable assistants he could find. He assigned to each specific tasks, and held him responsible for results. Ex- exercising general oversight and retaining fun control in matters of policy, he left details to subordinates. To those who succeeded, he gave his full confidence and support. A few

who could not make the grade he fired.
 Infinite care-the elimination of unessential issues-unassailable pre- paration of every item that had to be fought out-that is the approach which made Dewey's indictments al- most the equivalent of convictions. In every aspect of his public life Dewey is as meticulous as in his preparation of cases when he was prosecutor.
 His personal appearance-short, well-built, erect; with coal black hair and tidy little mustache; scrupulously groomed in the best of taste--is familiar to millions who have seen him in person or his pie lures in newspapers, magazines or movies. His rich baritone voice = delicate instrument that he plays as Kreisler does the violin-must

 His manner in business contacts, and to a large extent in social, is brisk, confident, informed, incisive. He talks when he is interested and has something to say: He can listen equally well. He makes routine de- cisions quickly, once he feels that he has all the facts in mind.
