Tuesdays Vote
Expected To
Break Record

With a total of CAB registered,
the largest in Stewards history, a
new voting record was expected
to be set in Tuesdays election.
The previous record of 52l ballots
cast was set in the April, 1913
election when the present city adj
ministration took office. BY three
31S had already cast their ballots
and there was line of voters wait
ing to get into the booths.
The election judges had not got
ten any lunch but some kind heart
ed citizen, whose name was not
given, had lunch sent in to them.
1t is usually after five o'clock
that the largest number of votes is
cast, since that is the time when
most people who work are free to
get to the polls.
Open Till O'clock
At the rate voters were coming
during the afternoon, it is expected
that the total will be we'll over the
previous record Of 521, especially if
the greatest rush comes after five
o'clock There will be a full two
hours from five o'clock till the polls
close at seven.
Although there may have been
some back fence gossip and mud
singing, none of it came out into
the open. and the campaign has
been characterized as the cleanest
and fairest in Stewards history.
Although both Republican and
Democratic parties made a special
effort to get out the vote, neither
party publicly sponsored any can
didate.
Civic organizations also urged
their members to get out and vote,
although it was not known that
any organization directly sponsored
candidate.
TaXicab companies were urging
people to vote and even offering
free transportation to and from the
polls.
Due to the number of candidates
on the ballot and the fact that the
school board and special ballots for
the exchange of right of way must
be counted separately it is expected
that the official returns will not be
available to the public until about
midnight.
At Monday evenings meeting
the Council finished up its work
and will appear at the next meet
ing only to turn the administration
over to the next mayor and council

Banks Redeem
All Warrants
From Territory

Satisfactory arrangements have
been completed with almost all
banks to assist the Territory out
of its temporary financial situation.
An understanding has been arrived
at which provides that the banks
will advance cash necessary to pay
warrants presented for payment.
Each warrant will have on its face
a notation indicating which partic-
ular bank will cash it; its reverse
side will have notice thereon to
the effect that the payee has as
signed the warrant to the bank
through which it is payable and
thereby authorizes the bank to OBJ
tain reimbursement from the Terri
tory when funds become available
for that purpose.
The Territorial Treasurer wishes
it understood that warrants for
salaries, old age pensions, per diem
and postage will not be payable at
any particular bank. Such warrants
may be presented to, and will be
cashed by, any bank inasmuch as
there are special funds on hand
rants have no form of assignment
on their reverse side nor will they
be stamped with the name of any
particular bank.
The Treasurer also wishes it un-
derStood that no warrant of any
kind will be released unless there
immediate payment on presenta-
ton. In other words, all warrants
will be paid. Those payable at the
bank designated on the warrant S
face will be paid by that particular
bank on presentation; those war
rants not marked payable through
a designated bank will be paid by
any bank to which presented for
payment.
The above does not mean that
warrants payable at certain bank
cannot be presented for payment
at some other bank. 1t does mean,
however, that such warrants may
be accepted by another bank for
collection and credit therefor given
to the payee named in the warrant
by the paying bank only after the
bank through which it is payable
has hOnored it.
The Treasurer has advised all
banks in the Territory, as we'll as
banks in the city of Seattle, where
Territorial warrants are sometimes
presented for payment, that no
warrant of any kind or for any pur-
pose will be issued unless funds
are On hand to pay same.
The arrangement concluded be-
tween the banks and the Territory
makes it possible for the latter to
pay its obligations in a more bust
nesslike manner than has been
the case for some time and will
eliminate considerable annoyance
and inconvenience heretofore ex-
perienced by the Territorys cred
itors due to delay in the payment
of legitimate Territorial bills.

We hope everyone reads this

It is important information about

The body is composed of billions

thru the removal or destruction of

who indicted Joe Louis into the

ed him back intothe heavyweight
title here last week. He handed
the retired champ a tax lien for
$61,211.68 for unpaid income tax.
Neighbor Joe or his accountant,
Ted Jones Of Chicago, has denied
that the money is due. Jones in
dicated that the misunderstand-
ing in statistics took place before
the war. Jones said Louis tax for
last year was straight and further
limited thatthe belated debt would
be taken care of without undue
strain.
Joe's message from the govern

decision concerning a comeback,
it is believed in boxing circles
here. Although Louis is by no
means broke, and appears to be
set for life economically, $4,000

Maryland Man Wins $3O,5OO
On Radio Quiz-TaxIs 81 ,587

1t was business as usual today for
John F. Oaks, 63-year-old Sparrows
Point CMd0 railroad executive who
last night won one of the largest
of radios quiz program jackpots-
$30,500 in prizes from the stop
the Music" show.
Mr.. Oaks was not available for
comment today, because he was at
tending funeral this morning and
had scheduled his usual afternoon
luncheon with business associates.
A neighbor at the Oaks home was
doing her neighborly best to answer
telephone queries from persons anx-
ious to take some Of the "swag" of
Mr. Oaks hands.
She said Mrs. Oaks was i'll, and
the shock Of the windfall had
done her no good
Meanwhile, the Internal Revenue
Bureau computed what Mr.. Oaks
would have to kick in to the Gov
ernment, assuming he had no other
income and kept all the prizes.
Based on the premise he would
make a joint return. with deduc-
tions for himself and wife. Mr.. Oaks
would pay the Government 1881 .68
income taxes But that is only
theoretical. Actually, the cost of
being a winner will be higher, since
the total market price Of the items

must be added to Mr.. Oaks other
income.
The neighbor who set up her owr
quiz program at the Oaks home sale
the couple had not decided whether
to sell any of the prizes, but added
that they are well to do"

except maybe a few dollars on the

that in losses" Mr.. Cakes said.
Among the prizes were an all
expense trip to California, mink
coat, new car, $1,000 Savings Bond
diamond bracelet watch and E.

Mr.. Oaks is superintendent anc
vice president of the Patapsco &

Civilian 10 Try Captain
In Norfolk Boat Crash
BY the Assoeioted Press

NORFOLK, Va, Jan. 1O.-A new
system for the trial of seafarers' Of
fenses will be initiated here Wednes-
day in the hearing OF a formal
charge of negligence against Capt.
Edward H. Eaton, master of the
steamer District of Columbia.
1t was Capt. Eaton's ship which
sideswiped a tanker in Hampton
Roads October 81, killing one pas
senger on the Norfolk and Wash
ington night boat and injuring three
others. A Coast Guard Board of
Investigation last November charged
Capt. Eaton with negligent opera
ton of his ship. Shortly after the
accident the steamship line discon-
tinued operations, citing excessive
costs.
But Coast Guard officers will not
''try" the case. Instead-and for the
first time in Norfolk-a civilian
hearing officer will be sent from
Washington to hear the evidence of
both sides.
Within the next 30 days, accord
ing to Coast Guard headquarters,
the city should have its first full
time civilian hearing officer.
He and other hearing officers ap-
pointed under the Administrative
Procedures Act in other ports will
tackle the job of clearing up more
than 1000 disciplinary cases which
have piled up since the Coast
Guards trial powers were stripped
by Congress on June II, 1947.

A. j. Professor Hits
Montgomery Critics
OF School Methods

Parents who sought recently to
force return to three Rs" teaching
in Montgomery County schools are
laboring under the belief that what
was good enough for me is good
enough for my children" an Amer
ican University professor has
charged In a magazine article.
Samuel Engle Burr, jr, head of
the university's department of ed
ucation, criticized the parents
action in the current issue of the
Nations Schools.
He said the critics of modern ed
ucation methods are divided into
two classes: Sincere citizens in the
upper-age brackets, who constitute
the "What-was-good-en d-enough-for-me
group and veterans subjected tt
regimentation who believe "repres.
sion and RECOMMENDATION" should bt
passed along to the children.
The professor said a middle group
probably will decide the issue pre-
sented ! by progressive" education
The article Is aimed at the move
ment launched last year by group
of residents now known as the
Montgomery Parents League fo1
Curriculum Improvement. It's men,
bers accused the County Board OF
Education Of putting to much en-
phasis on "frills" and not enough
on basic courses.

we're being used for experimental
ton and that the schools were fail
ing to teach them reading, writing

contact. DO you want me to follow
this other plane in?" he asked.
What other plane?" inquired
Corp. Harris.
The Gas pilot turned on his
landing lights. Outlined in the beam
was a twin-engined plane. 1t was
descending without landing lights
and was making no radio contact.

tom" plane, bearing the markings
of a commercial airline, TAXED up

One made a spear for Andrews,
the other for Anacostia.
Corpl Harris listened in and
found the Lancaster pilots were
speaking in Spanish, which he
knows well. He gave them in
structions and brought the big ships
in. The pilots were from Argentina
and had gotten lost at the end of
their 4,000-mile trip from South
