home last night.

she was playing outdoors and he
did not care to spoil her fun.
For some time Mr.. Cardonick
had been worried over his wife's
despondency. Yet things had
seemed a bit brighter lately, and
his mood as: he listened to the
little boys chatter was more cheer
full than it had been for days
Gradually, though. the old fears
beset him again. He tried to rea-
son himself out of them, but it
wasn't any good.
Certain now that something was
wrong at home, he made his way
to a telephone booth and dialed
his house.
AS set down in police records
this is what happened after Mr.

Hobo King Candidate Puts Bite
Only on People With Dough-
Dignified PonhondIer
Puuses Here on Way
To Iowa Convention

Sam H. Cole, who contends he
has elevated panhandling to a
dignified science, is pausing in
Washington today on his way to
the National Hobo Convention in
Britt. Iowa, on August 81.
The 60-year-old official delegate
from York, Pa, who expects to be
the new hobo king, reminisced last
night on his long career, studded,
he said, with such encomiums as
King of the Buns" in 1918;
King of the Panhandlers" in
1888, and King of the Hoboes"
in 1912. At that time. Mr.. Cole
recalled, he successfully pan
handled in New York's Waldorf
Astoria Hotel.
In 1905, Mr.. Cole recounted, he
also was chosen King of the
Newsboys" at the convention of
the International Circulation
Managers Association, while he
was a newspaper carrier boy in
York. In 1919 he started on a
trip around the world with a
nickel and an armful of news
papers," and, he said, he paid his
way alone.
From a glance at Mr.. Coles
scrapbooKs, he apparently met
several notable people. He showed
autographs purporting to be those
of King George VI when he was
Duke of York, the Duke of Wind
sor when he was Prince of Wales,
Guglielmo Marconi, David Lloyd
George, Lady Astor and Winston
Churchill. He also displayed
dozens of courtesy cards from

and the gas burners on. I'm going
to die"
Then the phone went dead.
Desperately Mr.. Cardonick rang
police.
A sergeant told him to call his
wife again and keep talking"
He dialed once more. She an
swered. For 10 or IL minutes
maybe longer-he held her on the
line, saying over and over: Don't
do it, Marian, please don't do it!'
Outside the booth stood little
Raymond, peering through the
narrow glass panels, not knowing
what it was all about.
The wife's voice faded out. Mr.
Cardonick. unable to get further
response, wondered in a daze what
to do next.
Then a mans gruff voice came
over the line: She's all right
bud. We're taking her to a hos
pital. The little girls okay, too
She's playing in the yard"
Later Mr.. Cardonick was told
the police had smashed through a
back door into the kitchen and
found his wife partly conscious on
the floor. Her condition was re-
ported to be fair.

Court Of Claims Holds

End Wartime HOUSING
BY the Associated Press

A Federal Court stated yester-
day that the Government was un-
der no obligation to close down
it's wartime housing projects as
soon as private builders became
able to meet all demands.
The courts opinion was given
in a decision in which a suit
brought by five Front Royal (Va.)
Apartment builders was tossed out.
The builders sought 1892 In
damages - money which they
contended they lost because Of
Government competition. The
United States Court of Claims up
held the Governments demurrer
to the suit. instituted by Cherry
wood Apartments. Inc, Oakwood
Apartments, Inc, Applewood
Apartments, Inc. Woodside Build
ing Corps, and Woodland Park,
Inc.
All operate and sell residential
properties in and around Front
Royal. They said they lost money
when the Government continued
to rent war housing apartments
at 81 month in 1947-49.
The court said some of the
Governments actions in the hous-
ing field were hard to compre-
hend. But, it's opinion went on:
I'VE think that no promise can
be spelled out of them, on the part
of the Government. that as soon
as privately financed housing
caught up with the demand, Gov
eminent war housing should be
shut down"

Withholding Tax Plan
On Dividends Hit by
investors Group Head
By J. A. O'Leory

The 20 per cent Withholding tax
on dividends and interest in the
l$7.2 billion House tax bill was
called police state procedure
Iby a spokesman for investors be-
fore the Senate Finance Commit
tee today.
william Jackman, president of
the Investors League, Inc. testi-
fled the new tax is equivalent TO
telling 10 million investors the
IGovernment does not trust them
to pay taxes on the income which
they receive from dividends and
Interest.
In many cases, he said, it will
mean withholding In advance in
come in cases in which no tax
would be due. Even though re-
funds would be made later on. the
|stockholder would not have the
use of this portion of his income
during the interval, he said.
Mr.. Jackman joined earlier wit
nesses in recommending a general
sales tax on all commodities ex-
cept food. He suggested a 5 per
cent rate to raise $5 billion.
Can't Avoid Burdens.
The witness said the people
must face the fact that wars are
costly and must be paid for. He
said the tendency has been for
each division Of society ito push
the tax burden onto the other
fellow"
He quoted the laboring man as
saying, II want higher wages to
cover my increased taxes so my
take-home pay is not decreased.
He quoted the industrialist as
saying, II want to lift my prices
to cover the increased taxes SC
that my net profits will be as high
or higher as in the past"
Mr.. Jackman said this cycle
creates dangerous imitation. He
said it is a fallacy to hide the tax
burden on the theory that this
makes it painless.
Williams Fears Delay.
Senator Kerr. Democrat OF
Oklahoma. presided today in the
absence of Chairman George
Democrat of Georgia, who was
kept home by a cold and slight
fever.
AS the Senate Finance Commit
tee resumed its hearings. Senator
Williams, Republican. of Della
ware. said he does not see how
the committee can get its version
of the S7.2 billion House measure
to the Senate floor before Sep

If that forecast is borne out, IL
would be October before higher
withholding rates could be applied
to millions Of wage earners. The
House, contemplating speedier
passage, voted to start the tax in
creases on individuals Septem-
ber /.
Differences Must Be Settled.
I Even after the Senate passes
the bill it must go to a joint
House-Senate committee for set
tlement of differences. and al
ready there are signs that the
Senate will rewrite many House
provisions.
For example, there is uncer-
tainty over what the Senate COM
mlttee viii do about the excess
profits levy. The House did not
change the rates, but boosted this
tax by making more of a corpora

If the Redskins backs are

Those linemen will have key

In a way. the linemen can't
win. The better they play, the

the forwards from digging in and
