La Fontaine Loses
Appeal on Returning
$4,000 Gaming Loss
By the Associated Press.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Feb. 8.-In a
decision based on a Maryland statute
permitting the collection of gam
bling table losses as a common debt,
the Court of Appeals yesterday af-
flrmed $4,000 judgment for Harry
w. Wilson of Hyattsville from James
A. La Fontaine, described in court
testimony as owner of "Jimmy's
Place" in Prince Georges County.
The case originated in the Prince
Georges County Circuit Court and
had been appealed from the Mont
gomery Circuit Court by La Fontaine
Citing the record of the case, the
high court related that Wilson tes-
titled he had lost about S46,000
gambling, - $4,000 of which he
embezzled from his employers"
In suit he sought to recover his
losses and the lower court awarded
him the judgment. This was as
signed later to Fred H. Ugast, John
w. Lyles and Milton E.. Groome,
Wilson's employers, trading as the
Capital Service Station, 1765 New
York avenue NE, Washington.
Wilson was a bookkeeper and
cashier for the firm and told the
court of his method of covering up
mis- losses in gambling.
Although the court found that
La Fontaine did not admit to pro-
prietorship of the gambling estab-
lishment, it held there was sufficient
evidence to imply recovery.
The court commented on La Fon-
taine's contention Wilson could not
recover money not rightfully his ito
allow the winner in gaming trans
action to defeat an action by a
loser on the ground that the loser
had embezzled or stolen the goods
. would limit the effectiveness of
the statute to prevent gambling"
Moreover, the court added, I'VE
think the Maryland statute au-
thorizes recovery by the person
placing a wager with money en-
bezzled regardless of the title to the
funds lost"
Statutes as ancient as that of
1864. passed during the reign of
King Charles of England, were cited
in the arguments before the high
court. but that tribunal held the
Maryland codification of the gam
bling laws pertinent and valid in
this case,

Senate Unit Kills
White House
Extension Plan
Existing Buildings,
However, to Get
Improvements

The Senate today was expected to
get a report from its Appropriations
Committee which backs up the
House in denying funds for Presi-
dent Truman's proposed extension
of the west wing of the White House.
This action was taken late yes
terday by the committee on the
recommendation of its subcommit-
tee handling the Independent Of
noes Appropriation bill, into which
the House had written language
which in effect blocked spending
OF $3.50 900 for the wing extension
as well as improvements to the east
wing, the White House proper and
its grounds.
Then Senate committee. however
modlfled House action by allowing
the President S7SO,O0O for improve
ments to existing buildings and the
grounds and voted to block SPEND
ing OF only $870,000, or the amount
estimated as needed to construct
the west wing extension.
May Change East Wing,
Hence, the President. under the
senate version of the bill, may spend
S265, 900 for completion of changes
to the east wing; s225 900 for i'm
provements to the grounds: $50 600
for storeroom under the north
drive of the White House: $50 600
70 modernize the heating plant:
S47,OO0 for a tunnel to the service
entrance of the Executive Mansion.
$4,000 for new flooring on the Sec
ond floor; $4,000 for replacement
OF furniture; $4,000 for f1leroom
and elevator, and $4,000 for con-
ingencies.
Ihe action of the committee came
as the climax of nearly four weeks
OF battling by civic and profess
sionai groups in Washington and
throughout the country to restrain
the President from providing anv
iurtner executive Office space within
the White House grounds.
Led by the Washington Chanter
OF the American Institute of Archi-
tects, opponents of the west-wtnp
extension maintained that the
White House should be kept onlv
as residence for the Chief Execu-
tive.
Aided by Officials.
Groups fighting the extension of
the proposal were assisted by Gov
ernment officials working under
cover. They first succeeded in oh
tanning House action blocking the
construction. This was followed bv
move by the Fine Arts Commission
which originally had approved the
extension plans, to reduce their
scope.
Thus, unless language in the bill
withholding construction funds is
removed on the Senate floor, op-
ponents will have fought a winning
battle.
