 The Fairbanks Cinema Pool which broke at 1:56 p.m., May 15, gave the winners, Dave Sanfoard and Lena Leonard, both of Fair banks, $1647.00 to divide equally, as they jointly held the winning number
 Among the minute pool win ners around town Vi Endres won $75 at Polet's; Hugh Gabbard won over $500 at the Board of Trade, and $60.00 at the Nevada; Harry Gabrielson won the S3OO.OO pool at the Nevada; Ted Cavota and George Madsen split $535OO at the Polar Bar;

 ON MOST DIFFICULT PROBLEM

authorities is the development of a formula for setting up interna- tional trusteeships to allow United States and other powers to de- velop the military bases which they believe to be necessary to the security of this country, and are specially concerned about re- taining the Pacific bases captured from Japan.
 The British delegation last night received London approval of the tentative Anglo-American trusteeship formula, but on this also, Russia remains to be heard from. .... .....-,.
 The Pan American conference to draw up a long term treaty to replace the wartime pack made in Mexico City in March will prob ably be held in Washington in No vember.
 The heart of the United States proposal is that any group of na- tions have the right to plan col lectively for its own defense, so if the projected world security coun- cil fails to prevent armed attack on one of them all the others can go to its assistance.

NO DATE SET FOR
CRACKDOWN ON AUTO
STAMP VIOLATORS

A concentrated effort to pick up
motorists who have failed to pur-
chase their Federal Use tax stamns
may begin at any time, Chief
Zone Deputy Raymond D. Christ
man, Of the Department of Inter-
nal Revenue, said yesterday.
No penalty will be imposed on
delinquent purchasers until the To-
cal Zone office starts its drive
against violators, it was said. No
date has been set as yet for the
annual breakdown on such offend
| ers.
Motorists who have not purchas-
ed stamps can buy them at the
Princess street office of the Bureau
OF Internal Revenue.
In other parts of the state, field
deputies, however, are securing the
roads for cars with stickerless
windshilds. Charles H. Robertson,
Collector of Internal Revenue at
Greensboro, recently warned motor
vehicle owners that penalties would
be imposed for failure to purchase
Use stamps.
T h e penalties, according to
Robertson's statement, consist Of a
fine up to $25, a jail sentence up
to 80 days or both.
Federal auto tax stamps became
due July 1, with the beginning of
the fiscal year.

in the quarter-final of the national
P. G.. A, golf tournament to beat
Denny Shuttle, and 2.

ment of all, was Sammy Byrd, the
old Yankee slugger, who was hit
ting them far and true over the

day.
Establishing himself as favorite
to meet Nelson in the finals, Byrd
eliminated ex-soldier Vic Ghezzi

won the 1941 P. C. A. meet at Den
yer, never had chance from start
to finish.
Others who adanced to the semi
finals were Claude Harmon of De-
troit, eliminating Ralph E. Hutchl'
son of Bethlehem, Pa, 4 and 3 and
Dark Horse Clarence Doser OF
Hartsdale, N. Y, who ousted the
Veteran KY Laffoon of Chicago, z

Harmon is faced with the big re-
sponsibility of trying to eliminate
