HOOP SCORING
 MACHINE MAY
 HOP TO PROS

FORT LEWIS, Wash, Oct. 18- Gail Bishop, the human scoring machine who racked up more points last season than most bas- ketball players can collect in life time, will set no more records in A.A.U. competition.
 He scored more than 1000 points last season.
 Bishop, an Army enlised man, said today he planned to return to Washington State College, if he is released from the Army before the start of the basketball season.
 If not, he said, he would sign professional baseball contract on his release, turning his back on the hoop sport. He did not mean the baseball team with which he would play.
 But, even if he fails to return to college this year, Bishop said, he will not continue in amateur basketball until his release from the armed forces. Instead, he will coach a team of former profess sional cagers now stationed here, with the intention of entering the professional basketball tournament in the spring.

NEW YORK, Oct. Is Mike Jacobs is a New Jersey tulip grower with an ambidextrous ability as a fight promoter.
 And today he was busy with both hands.
 With one, he was showing a pen into Billy Conn's dainty duke, trying to get the Pittsburgh pretty boy to forget his "beefs" and sign on the dotted line for return go with Joe Louis. With the other, Mike was holding an auction over the site of the Lcuis-Conn nose-smashing
 With his left-hand job, Uncle Mike was trying to tell you how the $3,000,000 >taffy-pull next June would go to the place we'll get the most money" He carefully ex- plained how Philadelphia and it's huge Municipal Auditorium and Chicago and it's wide stretches of Soldier Field were running neck and neck for the big pot and he was open to all offers
 But around Jacobs Beach, the wild waves were saying that the Windy City would have to put up the Loop and the City of Bro- therly Love would have to give up Billy Penn from off the top of City Hall to get this tussle out of Yankee Stadium, N Y, when post time rolls round
 AS for getting Conn to sign up for the fuss, Mike had a session lined up today with the legal mem Der of Billy's fistic family, as follow-up to the hour-long bowling party he had with Billy's manager, Johnny Ray, yesterday.
 Johnny, making his first New York appearance since Billy was belted out by Joe in the thirteenth round in June, 1941, told Mike the contract, as far as he was con- cerned was about as valuable as watered oil stock. His chief objec- tion was to the clause that said the late Army Corporal couldn't have any exhibition of tune-up appear ances before the big beak-busting party.
 Johnny wants Billy to have three tune-ups in the bushes before he steps out there to try to do what he almost did the last time he said howdy to Joe And when Mike tried to tell him that Louis signed with out asking for any tune-ups, Johnny explained he wasn't man. aging the Bomber, and for Jacobs to take that up with Joe.

Query from Don J. C., Muskogee, Z Cklahomai Does veteran get any relief or exemption from income taxes the fhrist year after honorable discharge?"
 The answer is No. But I made a note that, back in April, Represen- tative Flood of Pennsylvaniaao offered bill to affect the taxes of ex- service people.
 My notes read that the bin would abate q guess that mems soften or "ease'O taxes for every year of service and for one year before and after service. The bill also would grant special deductions for five years after discharge
 That bill was in the form of an amendment to the Internal Revenue Code. My notes also indicate that disabled veterans would get refunds if they paid taxes for any year since l940.
 Then. in July, Representative Do- mengeaux of Louisiana introduced a measure which would exempt most vets from payment of any income tax for the taxable year in progress on tEe date of his discharge and the next taxable year after that date. The next year 75 per cent of earn cd income would be exempt Next year 50 per cent
 These are bills, of course, and net laws. But Congress is in ses- sion, so keep your eye on the bah.
