Final arguments before the jury

tween opposing counsel. F. Barnard
Welsh, representing the defendant

thief"
Here is a man" Mr.. Welsh de-
clared. who lost his money fair and
square at a gambling establishment
whose owner has never been accused
of turning a crooked card.
The people of Prince Georges
County, including the sheriff and
the States attorney, apparently
think Jimmy La Fontaine is all
right because they have done moth
ing to close him up"
At this point, he was interrupted
by T. Howard Duckett. attorney for
Wilson, who contended that there
was nothing in the evidence pre-
sented in the case to Justify such
remark
Mr.. Welsh then said. That's
right, you live in Prince Georges
County"
La Fontaine Flayed.
He amended his statement. how

people in Prince Georges County

R. Earle Sheriff, county sheriff
and States Attorney A. Gwynn
Bowie could not be reached for
comment.
Replying to Mr.. Welsh. Mr.
Duckett asserted that I'VE don t
condone Mr.. LaFontaine-We just
can't get rid of him. If we close
him up today, he opens tomorrow
If We send State police after him,
he's gone. If we send county police
they come back frustrated"
Declaring that Mr.. La Fontaine
has virtually admitted that he owns
and operates the gambling resort,
Mr. Duckett asked, why isn't he

Bet $500 on One Play.
Earlier, Wilson testified that
when he first visited the establish
ment he bet as high as $50 on a
roll of the dice. On later visits, he
said, he increased his bets to as
much as $500 on each play.
- He said that in September and
October, 1943. he made 81 visits to
the resort and lost each time. He
said that was when Joseph Bovello
whom he identified as an employe
of the establishment, urged him to
quit, saying, Trying to get your
money back is just like hitting your
head against a radiator" This
testimony later was ordered stricken
from the record by the court.

u. 5. TO Send $4,000
Nonworking German
Prisoners Home Soon

Brig. Gen. B. M. Bryan, assistant
to the provost marshal general in
charge of prisoners of war, re-
vealed plans today to repatriate
about $4,000 German nonworking
prisoners as soon as shipping facili-
ties and conditions in Europe per-
NIT.
The $4,000 "drones" are chiefly
officers and noncomS, who are not
required TO perform manual labor
under the terms of the Geneva Con-
vention Among them also are
about 5000 sick and wounded, Gen
Bryan said.
The War Department had am
nounced after We day that the
repatriation of German prisoners
more than 343 900 of whom are be-
ing held in this country, would pro-
coed "at the convenience of the
Government" and also would de-
pend on the labor needs in the
United States.
Cost Million Per Day.
Gen. Bryan said he hoped the
movement would start in 80 days,
and that by October the War De-
partment may be able to cut down
on the use of prisoners as laborers
and begin sending them back to
Europe.
Since May I. when the official
count of German prisoners was
343 lis, many more have been sent
to this country. In addition there
are 50,3O3 Italian prisoners and
1926 japanese prisoners.
1t is costing the Government
about $1,0O0,000 a day to care fol-
all prisoners of war, but in return
they have performed many millions
of dollars in the value of labor anC
services.
The Government is under no obli-
cation to release German prisoners
until the formal articles of peace
have been signed.
Work at Army Posts.
Prisoners of war are being worked
on a noncompetitive basis under
conditions outlined by the Wal
Manpower Commission and the
War Food Administration in area.

frODlem case.
This was given as one of the
problem" cases: A veteran who
had been a building laborer before
the war filed his claim for read
justment allowances last Novem-
Der. According to the boards rec
ords, he was offered no jobs until
April, when he was referred to work
as janitor. He stated then he
would take nothing but a watch
mans job, so because he refused
this work and had been unemployed
so long, he was dropped from the
rolls.
For some reason this was re-
scinded and he kept on receiving
checks until May l, when he was
offered a watchman's job-presum-
ably what he wanted. He refused
that one, too. The board says it
will disqualify him from receiving
more checks-at least until the
two-to-five-week disqualification Pc
riod has passed.

Currently, car manufacturers
