7.7O6 of Gambling Fraternity Buy $50 Tax Stamps

WASHINGTON, (P)-The gov ernment says some 7,706 gents accustomed to more favorable odds have offered to pay a "heads you win, tails I lose" federal tax.
 That many, Internal Revenue Commissioner John B. Dunlap an- nounced yesterday, have applied for the new $50-a-year profes- sional gamblers stamp. The occu- patton stamp does not legalize gambling - that's the rub, from the gamblers point of view-it just puts the gambler in compi- ance with the stamp tax law.
 Officials have estimated at least 17,750 persons, probably more, are subject to the gamblers tax. Dunlap said 2,3O0 special revenue agents organized in IF racket squads" throughout the country have been ordered to go out and collar the delinquents. The dead line for filing applications was Dec. l.

LIN Ask Questions But Reds Don't Answer in Korea

MUNSAN, Korea, (P - Allied negotiators asked questions for two hours and half at an arm istice at an Alice-in- Wonderland sort of Korean truce session to- day-and got the answer to just one question.
 The Reds defined what they meant by a neutral country and gave examples: Communist Czechoslovakia and Poland, or non communist Switzerland, Sweden and Denmark.
 The communists want neutral teams to supervise any truce reached, and only at ports of entry"
 Allied subcommitteenen at Panmunjom asked 30 times what the Reds meant by "ports of entry" They didn't get an answer; the Reds said they already had answered clearly.
 A Tokyo broadcast by the "Voice of the United Nations Command" said the Red proposal to ban all troop replacements would have the effect of remov- ing foreign troops from Korea. This was one of the Reds first political demands. Under the Red plan troops leaving for sickness, injury, rotation or expired enlist ment couldn't be replaced.
 The broadcast also charged the communists 'fare more interested in building airstrips for war than in rebuilding the country for peace"

 The second 5 minute portion will have to do with territorial news of interest to Eskimos. The third segment will consist of an Eskimo feature each week, with Mayokok choosing an Eskimo guest interview, an Eskimo musi- cal artist, or one of the tribal legends of the Eskimo.

Kefauver May Seek Nomination For President

SEATTLE, (E1 - In a speech billed as a reply" to General MacArthur, Sen. Estes Ketauver of Tennessee declared last night that "a strong United Nations" is the worlds only real chance of preserving peace"
 "The only way to win World War Ill.," he added, "is to pre- vent it."
 The crime-investigating Demo cratic senator addressed the West ern Washington Jefferson-Jack- son Day dinner.
 Turning to the domestic front, he warned against the danger of "the growth of crime and corrup- tion," and asserted honesty in government is certainly not the monopoly of any political party"
 Kefauver, who may seek the Democratic nomination for presi- dent, praised the administrators policies in the Korean crisis. He told a press conference yesterday that if he decides to seek the nomination, he will do so regard less of whether President Truman decides to run again.
 Democratic party leaders had listed the speech as a reply to General MaeArthur' bitter de- nunciation of Truman administra- ton policies in his Nov. 13 ad- dress at the opening of Seattle's Centennial Celebration.
 The $25-a-plate Democratic crowd of more than 500 last night gave it's fullest applause to the several barbs the senator tossed directly at the former Far Eastern commander.
 Kefauver' asserted:
 "It is interesting to note that your centennial speaker did not mention the United Nations once in his speech-and yet he was the first commander of that great army of the United Nations.
 "To me this indicates either lack of understanding of the role of the United Nations CT a path etic display of vanity.
 "This is not MacArthur's war. This is not the United States war. This is free men everywhere say ing to Joseph Stalin:
 Thou shalt not tresspass again"

CHAPTER XVIII

''We've got a girl here who needs
q lot of sleep, Mother. Well leave
explanations until tomorrow. If
you've an extra nightie or pajamas
or whatever it is you gals wear,
drag it out and tuck our little
neighbor into bed" Dorinda caught
the warning glance he shot at his
mother.
Mrs. Adams asked no more ques-
tons. She produced a white night
dress reserved especially for visi-
tors who don't bring their own,"
she told Dorinda gaily; she escorted
the girl to a guest room down the
hall and helped her undress; she
went to the door and took the glass
of hot milk Cleve brought, and
watched Dorinda as she drank it.
Finally she tucked her into bed
and, bending over, kissed her
cheek. Good night, my dear" she
said gently and left her.
''You needn't feel afraid any
more" The echo of Cleve'S words
was the last thing Dorinda remem-
bered that night. "You needn't
feel afraid"
She slept the deep dreamless
sleep which comes with relaxation
from strain and did not awake un-
til morning drew a penciled line OF
sunlight across her face and her
eyes opened and blinked in its
binding dazzle. y
She felt rested and hungry
Dressed again in the brown pull
over and skirt, she ran downstairs.
The front door stood open to the
soft spring air and beyond the pro-
tecting screen she could see CIeve
pacing up and down the porch
whistling softly to himself.
He looked around at her call ano

closed behind him with bang
She watched him come, little stat
of pain at her heart. If he coulo
always be this close, always where
