La Guardia Tells Bars
They Can Stay Open
Legally Until 4A.M.

Hs the hSSOClhIeQ fTeSS.
NEW YORK, Mar. 23.-Mayor F.
H. La Guardia, still clinging to his
hour of tolerance" on the Byrnes
blackout, has suggested that Con-
greSs create an enforceable" mid
night curfew by establishing q Ii
cense system fixing hours of opera
ton.
This could be inserted as a proviso
in the internal revenue law, he said
Mr.. La Guardia indicated his be-
lief that enforcement of any closing
hour except the am. deadline set
by State law would prove impossible
among a large percentage of New
York City's bars and restaurants.
City Has Partial Curfew.
In this category, Mr.. La Guardia
told a Blue Network audience last
night, are establishments which do
not provide entertainment and so
are not subject to city regulations.
New York City has a midnight cur
few ordinance covering places of
entertainment but the State has not
rescinded its closing hour for places
licensed by the State Liquor Au-
thority, the mayor said.
The volatile mayors latest an
nouncement in the muddled curfew
situation aroused speculation over
whether he was giving green light
to thousands of neighborhood bars
to observe their old closing hour.
Mr. La. Guardia defended his
hour Of tolerance" to / am. rs in
tended to make the Nation wide
curfew workable, enforceable and
sensible" as applied to New York
City. He said that police would
press charges against places under
city jurisdiction which stayed open
after l am.
AS for those under State jurisdic-
ton, the Mayor said: ANY place not
covered by the city regulation vio-
lates no law and we as a city are
helpless, and so is the State, and so
is the United States Government, If
any such place should choose to
keep open"
Ignores Night Club Actions.
No reference was made by the
Mayor to the decision of nearly all
of the city's night spots to observe
the midnight curfew despite the
preferred am. leniency. And it
was considered doubtful that any
entertainment places would revert
to their old closing hour.
Mr.. La Guardia's speech was in
catechism form-first a question,
then an answer.
why was the curfew request
made in Washington" he asked. II
do not know. I have not found any
one in Washington who seems to
know. =
"Will the United States Govern
ment invoke sanctions as mentioned
in the request of the War Manpow-
er Commission? Judging from ad-
ministration of other executive or
ders, I doubt it very much"
He said that the curfew request
of War Mobilizer Byrnes caused q
terrific jam at midnight" here
and that his own hour of tolerance
would relieve the situation by
stringing out the exodus from
hotels, restaurants and night clubs
''in such way as to reduce the
one big vehicular and pedestrian
lam"

Treasury viii Press,
Campaign for Taxes
Of Big-Time Eyaders
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The big-shot, easy-come- easy go
boys are getting the eye of Treasury
agents. The T-men want to know
whence came all the dough that's
flowing SO freely in resorts across
the country and whether enough of
1t has gone into income taxes.
That's the reason Head T-Man
Elmer Trey took crew of his best
Treasury enforcement agents to Mi
ami recently-and gardened a cool
$4,000 in forgotten" taxes Just by
letting the word get around.
That's the reason more of Mr..
1rey's men are giving other resort
spots q careful going over-to see
who's spending how much, and how
does his income tax return back
home jibe with that kind Of money
interested in Lush" Boys.
That's the reason, too, Secretary
Of the Treasury Morgenthau told
newsmen yesterday, he's devoting
quite little time" to the subject
Mr.. Morgenthau emphasized he's
not worrying himself over little guys
the ones pocketing tips and forget
ting them
Il am interested in the fellow
with the suite of big rooms and the
lush boys" he said.
The cabinet officer indicated a re-
cent trip to New York gave him
some ideas on the matter.
Il was very busy" up there, he
said, closing his discussion of the
matter.
Mr.. Trey was somewhat more talk
ative after his recent Florida visit.
Terming it "only a beginning"
with implications "all over the
country" he said the $50 900 coughed
up in Miami was more than enough
to pay all expenses.
The Government has no objec-
ton to how people spend their
money, provided incomes have been
satisfactorily accounted for and all
taxes paid" he told reporters.
Checkups Difficult.
But it wouldn't be fair to the
honest citizen, Mr.. Trey said, ito let
black market operators, gamblers
and others escape their fair share
of taxes that are needed for vic
tory"
There have been various semi
official guesses on the amount in
volved in black market transactions,
with some ranging into billions.
Most such dealings are carried
on in cash, thus making income tax
checkups difficult
But the T-men have overcome
difficulties before. They sent AL Ca
pone to prison after Chicago had to
put up with his gangsterism for
years.
Capone, too, dealt mostly in cash.
and he forgot" to pay his income
taxes.
