Police Told 10 Enforce
Car Inspection Rule

Traffic Director George E. Keneipp
has recommended to police that
they begin rigid enforcement of the
traffic regulation compelling all cars
to display 1s4S inspection stickers.
Mr.. Keneipp informed police that
all vehicles bearing tag numbers
from l to 9999 inclusive and 1-1000
to $4,000 inclusive have been noti-
fled to submit their vehicles for in
spection and have had plenty OF
time to do so.
"On and after this date" Mr.
Keneipp said, "all vehicles bearing
registration numbers in the above
groups being operated without ap-
proval sticker should be considered
operating contrary to regulations
unless the operator can produce a
valid exemption.
Because Of the present average
age of vehicles and the increasing
tendency of many operators and
owners not to give the proper at
tention to the inspection notice. it
is recommended that officers of the
Police Department be directed to
rigidly enforce this regulation at
this time"

Gambling Trials Due
In District Court for
First Time in Months
By Chris Mothisen

For the first time in many months,
a group of gambling cases is headed
for trial in District Court.
Such trials are rare there. Most
defendants plead guilty and take
their chances with a judge they
feel will be lenient.
In coping a plea" as 1t Is
known in their set, the bet-taklne
boys. principally numbers game
attaches. have favored appearing
before Justice Alexander Holtzoff.
Although not noted for bargains
in his sentencing generally, Justice
Holtzoff has shown disposition to
give another chance to minor
figures in the gambling business
Usually, they have been fined, given
suspended jail sentences and placed
on probation for two years.
If arraigned originally before an
other judge, defendants have plead
ed not guilty, then awaited chance
to change their minds before Justice
Holtzoff.
Large Group Arraigned.
Recently, however, he has been
increasing the percentage OF straight
iail sentences in his distribution OF
Justice to gambling law offenders.
Further, Justice HoltZof Is be-
lieved in court circles to be ready
to deal sternly with any big, shots
or medium shots" who may face
him.
A large group of defendants. in
dicted on gambling charges by the
April term regular grand jury, was
arraigned before Justice David A
Pine yesterday. The pleas, uniformly
were of not guilty.
The defendants could not change
them before Justice Hoitzof1 in the
near future if they so desired, for
he is not sitting. He is due to take
turn on the skeleton sta1 OF
summer recess judges.
Some May Get 5 Years.
Some of those arraigned yester-
day may seek to change their pleas
when he is sitting in a criminal
court. but it Is not likely all will
do so.
In view of the judges recent USE
of the Jail sentence in gambling
cases, the odds have shifted.
Several of the cases pending in
volve persons described by police a.
relatively important figures in the
betting industry.
Those charged with setting up
gaming table could be sentenced tt
as long as five years in Jail. Those
charged with operating lottery
could be given a three-year SEN
tence. -
Attorneys representing most o.
the defendants arraigned yesterday
served notice they intended to make
a vigorous attack on the validity o1
the arrests in the cases in an effort
to obtain dismissals without trial.
Those defendants who do mo-
succeed in this effort are certain Il
have the attention of the entire
Washington gambling industry

meeting in San Antonio, Tex, No

in view of AAA interest in the sub
jects, are repeal of the is per cent
Federal transportation tax, which
has begun to cut into recreat'onal
travel, and the disposition of mil
lions of Americans to budget their
vacations closely in a period of high
living costs. One of the speakers
will be Senator Brewster, Repub-
lican, of Maine, leading exponent
Of removing restrictions on inter-
national travel.
Other principal topics announced
for consideration are the threats OF
sharp increases in State gasoline
taxes in 1949 and the showdown in
highway building despite record

In preconvention statement,
AAA President r. j. Schmunk
warned that motorists face a seri-
Gus. well-organized drive to boost
motoring taxes next year. He
pointed out that most State legis-
latures will be in session and said
that in almost all of them bills
will be introduced which, if sue
cessful, will add to the cost of driv-
ing. Local interest in the issue
arises from the fact that D. c.
motor vacationers range through
every State in their vacation quests.
Mr.. Schmunk said AAA clubs
usually support justifiable tax in
creases, but "as representatives of
automobile users, we will be I'M
alterably opposed to efforts to in
crease motor vehicle taxes without
reason or without justification"
Citing Louisiana, he said that

I he raveIer>s Notebook
Bedford Springs Becomes All.Yea Resort

The Bedford Springs (Pa.) Hotel,
in the mountains about 1870 miles
from Washington, may be developed
into premier winter sports resort.
The first step has been taken. G..
Bland Hoke, who became managing
director of the historic summer ho-
tel, recently announced it will re-
main open the coming winter.
Known to every generation of
travellers since 1904, the watering
place has been operated only dur
ing summer months. The decision
to develop its snow sports poten-
tialities followed research into the
frequency of ski-able snow and to-
biographical surveys showing sporty
ski and toboggan runs are feasible.
The winter opening was decided
too late for laying out ski courses.
Tobogganing will be available with
the first good snow, however. Red
Oak Lake, the summertime center
of swimming and picnic parties,
also is included in recreation pro-
gram that will provide indoor as
we'll as outdoor sports. The lake
will serve skaters.
Early in october the open arches
of the swimming pool pavilion were
boarded up. Heated, the pool will
provide one of the more popular
indoor sports. Bridge, table tennis
and similar recreation will be under
the direction of Mrs Hoke. Extra
game and lounging rooms are being
fitted out as part of the winter
program. But until real cold wealth
er sets in, the outdoors will be
stressed. Steak roasts, hikes and
horseback riding are scheduled as
fall activities.

i. .hicle taxation" He pointed out
that Louisiana recently raised its
gasoline tax to the unprecedented
level of cents a gallon" With
the Federal levy, that means all
who buy gasoline in the State must
pay 1012 cents a gallon in addition
to the cost of gasoline. And the
increased revenues are to be spent
on nonhighWay purposes" Mr.
Schmunk declared.
In connection with the attitude OF
travellers to watch their spending
carefully, an American Express Co
survey says travel officials foresee
winter vacations following the sum-
mer pattern: Heavy motor travel
shorter stays and more cautious
spending.
A service permitting the Florida
bound vacationer to go by rail OF
plane, yet have his car available
during his stay, has been announced
by the Pan-Atlantic Steamship
Corp.
Through an express cargo service
Of the S. S. Canton Victory, auto
mobiles will be delivered in Miami
81 hours after sailing from New
York. The weekly, nonstop auto
cargo sailings were inaugurated
late last month. No passengers are
carried on the vessel
From Miami, the ship proceeds
nonstop to Tampa, on Floridas Gull
coast, delivering cars in SO hours
Time between New York and Tampa
Is 95 hours. In addition to the ex.
press service, Pan-Atlantic's coast.
wise fleet operates between New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Mi.
