by the Federal agents on a con-
servatively estimated $4,000 sus-
Ipected gamblers who have failed
to register and obtain occupa-
tional licenses under the recently
enacted anti-gambling tax law.
Inspector Lutz said after con-
ferring with the Federal agents
that mutual assurances Of close
Ico-operation were exchanged. As
a first step the new gambling
squad chief ordered police records
opened to the Federal agents.
Police to Get Copies.
The Internal Revenue Bureau
meanwhile announced that it will
furnish police departments with
complete copies of all applica-
tions it receives for gambling oc.
cupational licenses.
This data will include the names
of all associates and hidden part
Iners of the gambler-applicant, all
agents and runners. all places Of
business. from a street corner to
a casino. and other information.
Thus far only two Washington
residents have qualified for the
gambling occupational stamps.
Two other applicants were re-
fused stamps because they did
not fill out their application
blanks fully.
The names of the successful
applicants will not be made pub
lie until tomorrow at the Office Of
the collector of internal revenue
in Baltimore. it was announced.
Instructions Go Out Soon.
The question of how much in
formation the Revenue Bureau
could turn over to enforcement
officers arose over the week end
and in the Eastern Missouri rev.
enue district. Collector Donald
Gum was reported to have with
held copies of the applications
from police, pending a decision in
Washington.
Officials here said instructions
would go out shortly to make the
complete files available to en-
forcement officers.
The Revenue Bureau also Is
preparing a tabulation on the
number of gamblers who have
applied for the stamps and an
announcement proclaimtng q
drive against delinquents.
! An Associated Press survey OF
the 64 internal revenue COL
jlectors' Offices across the country
last night indicated that about
2,575 had applied for the occupa-
tional license stamps. Law en-
forcement authorities estimated
about 17,77l persons were poten-
tial customers, but most said their
figures probably were too low.
| Monthly Reports Required.
The new tax law requires not
only registration for an oc-
cupational license, but compelS
gamblers to file monthly financial
reports and pay 10 per cent Of
their gross income-not just their
proflts-to Uncle Sam.
After leaving police headquar-
tiers the Revenue Bureau agents,
it was understood, planned to con-
fer with Assistant United States
Attorney Thomas Walden who
has been assigned to liaison be-
tween the Police Department and
the District Attorneys Office.
Charles M. Irelan, newly ap-
pointed United States Attorney
and Mr.. Walden later said they
had not yet conferred with the
Federal agents. Mr.. Irelan said
his office was ready to extend
all possible cooperation in the
prosecution of gambling tax law
offenders.
Mr.. Walden arranged a con-
ference with Inspector Lutz for
later today.

have filed petitions with h g
clerk as candidates for supervisor
from the Kennedy District. Infor

Supervisors Hear
Petitions For Roads
From All Sections

The Board of Supervisors, in
session Monday, had very light
amount of business to transact.
Aside from the routine payment
of claims, the Boards attention
was chiefly conferred on requests
for an additional road and the
improvement of some existing
highways.
The viewers report favoring
the establishment of a secondary
road from the intersection with
Route Gil on Brush Creek by the
homes of Nelson Stanley and
Clercie Meade was approved. The
right-of-way on the proposed
road was guaranteed.
A request was made that the
highway department improve
Route 604 on Middle Branch so
that a school bus could travel
over it Another request was that
the highway department drain,
put in pipes and clear the right
of-way along Route 693, the
Cranes Nest road, in the Willis
District. Another was that the
Bartlick road down the creek
from the intersection with Route
80 to the mouth of the Pound be
improved. A good many miners,
Alex Rakes stated, travel this
rad.
Directros of the Farmers Fair
Association were requested to
meet with the Board at the next
session to discuss right-of-way
for a road through the fair
grounds.

Crazy Daze is a gay comedy &C
count of the hilarious experience
es of man who finds himself
ruled by the women of his fam
lily. Hubert Williams is a typical
American dad, but finds himself
frustrated at every turn by the
members of his family. His wife
won't let him read his paper, his
mother-in-law won't let him
smoke, his daughter muses. his
hair; even the hired girl finds an
excuse for bothering him.
Some of the members of the
cast are Maude Ruth Powers, Gus
Hall, Mrs. Dixie Sutherland, Mil
dred Sutherland, N. B. French,
Jimmy Hanover and Bill Mullins.
There will be much tuneful
and beautiful music, plus gay
and colorful dancing choruses pre-
sentel by many talented young
people of Clintwood. Many civic
and business leaders will partici
pate in the nightmare wedding.
There will be parade this Sat
urday afternoon at IL o'clock led
by the mayor of the town. In con
junction with Crazy Daze, there
will be a popularity contest for
tiny tots, aged | to S l-2 years.

OF
All
Things!
BY E. Fl. B.

The Bristol Herald-Courier req
ported that Tom Fugate was
flown over dam sight near
Coeburn on Labor Day. II we
were inclined to profanity or to
levity, we should probably re-
mark that it was a helluva way
to entertain a congressman.
We are happy to report that
the world is treating all of our
characters well and that at the
moment there is nothing in their
conduct to censure. The Waddell
Twins are reunited, as the army
didn't care to buy Jerry as a
longtime proposition. Charlie is
prospecting as never before at
Radford. Marve is confident that
he has the South Ward under con
troll Curt seems to have hit the
jackpot of happiness, and Tom is
by no means a 'fvoice in the will
derness." That is as we would
have it, and may these citizens
continue in the ways of peace and
delight.
Tradin' Tom Mullins informs
us that the only reason he keeps
on working at Lick Fork is that
he wishes to be considered la
boring man. He has noted that
the world pays a respect to the
working man that it accords to
no other person, and Tom wants
to keep that esteem, even at a
financial loss. He also tells us
that he came out well in his deals
during the past week On We'd
nesday he ended the day with a
l7-jeWel watch and a five spot
to the good. On Saturday his traf
fic netted clear twenty dollars.
The fine thing about Toms bust
ness, he says, is that he leaves
the other fellow happy and that
most of those who trade with him
profit as much as he does.
With only two months to go
before election, Marve is alive
with the spirit of battle. Like
the warhorse in the Scripture, he
lifteth his head and paweth the
ground Convinced by years of
experience that the rewards of a
standpat party man are poor, he
does not propose to walk the path
of partisan regularity any more,
but will throw his weight around
as he sees fit.
Walking over his domain an
evening or so ago, Marve turned
to survey the South Ward. What
he saw and weighed in his mind
must have been satisfying. Plant
ing his feet apart and lifting his
head, the old chief squalled like
panther. His cry of mingled
triumph and defiance echoed over
into the North Ward, as he gave
a long look of scorn at the Walled

Although Virginia ranks 18th
in population among the states of
the Union, only nine other states
have a greater number of en-
ployees. This commonwealth has,
they say, the highest per capita
number of state employees in the
nation. Some of those on the pub
lie payroll, are, without doubt,
parasites. Their salaries, if di-
verted, could raise the rating of
