Tax Forcing Many BoIita
Men Out OF Business

CHICAGO - CAMP - The
new government occupational tax
required operators of wagers
pools and lotteries conducted fol
profit, and the 10 per cent tax on
his earnings, is working a hard
ship on policy men throughout
the country.
The tax, which become effec-
tive Nov. l, requires that all op-
orators purchased a $50 stamp. In
addition bookieS and others pay
ing the tax now are required to
register with the local collector of
Internal Revenue the following
information: name and place of
residence; places of business, and
the name and place of residence
OF each person receiving wagers
for them.
Only two persons in the Chicago
area have purchased the tax
stamp to date. One of them is
James Lloyd, "a, Negro dining
car waiter. Here is what happen
ed to him:
lloyd was seized as soon as
Capt. Patrick Groark of Mexwell
st. Police learned of the stamp
purchase, but was released when
he told his story.
Lloyd said he wasn't actually in
gambling business. He told Capt.
Groark he bought the stamp be-
cause he thought it might be we'll
no get into the policy racket while
everyone else was lying low be-
cause of new federal regulations
over gamblers.
Capt. Groark's men visited
Lioyd'S home and reported it was
'emlAy. Lloyd explained that he
WRs depending on his mother to
set him up in business and that
she is a veteran in the racket. He
denied that he had been "put up"
to the purchase by someone anx-
ious to test the new law in Su-
pIeme court.
Capt. Groark then told Lloyd
that he would land in Jail if he
opens a policy wheel. He was told
he could get his money back for
the stamp if he could prove he
had not engaged in gambling
since the law went into effect.
Similar experiences have been
reported throughout the country,
and has resulted in some numbers
men reported willing to give up
the business. Here is roundup

Uncle Sam has put the bite on
them in the form of a $50 occu-

The law seems to hit the num-
bers hackers here harder than any
other type of gambling. Many of
the smaller numbers barons have
folded up saying they can not pay
the tax. Whether they intend to
resort to bootleg operations could
not be aScertained.
Only few, SO out of a possible
200, according to police records,
have registered for tax stamps.
Most of the operators balk on the
government supplying the local
police with the operators record.
AS for the numbers hackers there
is some talk of reducing the rate
of payoff from 500-1 to 300-1 and
the writer's percentage from Is

Between June 81, 1850 and January
2G, 1851, the cost of living went up
70f, and the cost of food 500. When
the President imposed controls on
January p, Minority Leader Joe
Martin (R) of Mass. said, "The Ad-
ministration has only frozen the hole
in the consumers pocketbook."
Since January 26 and to June l.,
1851, the cost of living and the cost
Of food have gone up another 2ft each
Then when the controls act was ex-
piring. the Administration and its
socialist planners decided that this
was an opportunity to put over some
Of its pet schemes. The result was
bill which was not related to the con-
sumer's problem of price, wage and
credit controls but contained authority
to set up Government-owned plants, TO
set up Government corporations to
complete with private industry, to
move existing privately-owned plants
to other parts Of the country by Gov
eminent edict, to impose marketing
quotas, and to sneak in the discredited
Brannan Plan by so-called production
subsidies.
There is a deliberate campaign to
make it appear that certain members
Of the House are sabotaging price,
wage and credit controls by any
changes made in the bill. The truth
is that 93f5 of Republican voting on
August 10, 1850, voted in favor of
the enactment. | voted for the act, as
did 40 Of my Republican colleagues.
Naturally, the President will claim
this isn't his bill-the one he wanted
and any and all failures will be
charged to Congress although his own
Party is in the majority in both
Houses. The whole situation is a
definite failure on the part of the
Administration that tried to write a
successful political controls measure
that the American people will not ac-
cept.

after the Goodall Round Robin,
lin that everybody plays every

Norfolk Pro Harold Oatman's
story about drawing a 7::30 start
ing time is worth repeating. Oat-
man is one of the better known
Virginia pros, usually finishes in

IA starting time in the vicinity of
Charley Bassler. etc. He could
not appear for the pro-am Mon
day and intended to arrive Tues
day morning about $50 or 10, fig
uring that would give him time
for warmup.
But on hunch he called the
host pro, Ralph Beach. from Nor
folk Monday night and asked for
his starting time. Seven thirty"
Beach told him. 1--WE must have a
bad connection" Oatman re-
piled, IT thought you said 1890"
When it finally sunk in that Beach
said. 7:30, Oatman was jumping,
and not with joy.
Harold is not one to quit be-
cause of bad pairings. He called
the airport and was told the flight
to Baltimore was full. He man
aged to reserve the last seat on
the last night plane to Washing
ton. He took a cab from National
Airport to Union Station. and a
train to Baltimore.
Then a cab from Baltimore Sta
ton to the Belvedere, which was
full. He had dismissed the cab,
and at 2 o'clock in the morning
had trouble locating another.
Then he went to the Lord Balti-
more, Sheraton-Be -Belvedere. and at

Southern. That was 2::45. He
left call for 6 an, and arrived
at Suburban at 7::25. five minutes
before time to tee off. with only
an orange Juice for breakfast.
The dew was thick. the humidity
was SO high the course was half
covered by fog. and he was mad.
But he played it out and shot
