>Abbadub Honeymoon
Was Popular Years Ago

NEW YORK, March 10. CAMP
-Colored walters in .Reuger's
hotel in Richmond helped popular
ize "Abbadabba Honeymoon way
back in 1917. So folks who thing
that tunes a new one, have an
other guess coming.
1t happened this way: Reuger
had a "Rathskeller," the most
popular eating place in town. And
his entire Gre was colored. His
chefs knew just how to prepare
famous southern dishes and they
drew mobs to the 9th Street
hotel.
Reuger had just rebuilt his
establishment, and his Rathskeller
in the basement, a pretty good
sized spot for a town that size,

in Europe. According to Davis,
the Mccarthy agent sent him
back to Switzerland. His instruct
ions were to maintain contact with
the Swiss Reds and simultaneously
to keep an eye on John Carter
Vincent, the American Minister
and other consular officials.
Before Davis could begin to
operate, the whole scheme was
blown syk-high. Through some
leak, the French and Swiss Com
munists learned that he had de-
fected. They denounced the
''traitor' to the Swiss police as an
American spy. Adhering strictly
to it's uncompromising neutrality,
the SWISS Government clapped Da-
Wis into Jail. 1t also seized papers
in his room, among which was a
letter on Senatorial stationary
stating the "the senator" no long
er wished to use Davis.

Like other Communists tapped
by the party for underground as
signments, Davis was pulled out of
a Legitimate" job-with Peoples
World, the Communist West Coast
organ. Fifteen months ago he was
sent to Europe.
But in time, the holy joys of
Communism soured on Charlie
Davis. Even as he moved between
France and Switzerland doing the
party's bidding, the doubts grew.
Finally, he decided to break. Da-
Wis went to the American Embassy
in Paris. Officials there listened
to his story and made a record of
all the details of his activities
among French and Swiss Com
munists. But when Davis offered
to remain in the apparatus as a
listening post for the United
States, he was turned down.

singer was introduced. He was a
young blonde fellow from cup

troduced "Abbadabba Honey
moon." That was his name to the
dining room crew.
And as the walters hustled back

food and drinks on Saturday
nights, the lifting nonsensical
song helped them carry the load.
And the guests fell right in line
and shelled out too because they
liked the walters, the food and the
song. So you kids singing "Abb-

THROUGH THE SENTINEL PERISCOPE
Aftermath of Audit

The famous Territorial audit of two years ago which turned up de- falcations in the Treasurer's office and which landed Oscar olson in the psnitentiary had another after math this week when Archie l.. Brown. former deputy tax collec- tor at Anchorage, was brought back to the Territory to face an embez- clement charge. An indictment charges him with misappropriating $4,35O from Territorial funds be- tween March 12 and August 2S of 194S. He was arraigned in District Court in Anchorage and will enter a plea next Monday.
 At the time of the audit, Brown resigned under fire. It was charged he had borrowed" some S559 from Territorial funds he had col lectsd but that he had replaced it. Even a grand jury in October of 1949 vindicated Brown and he left the country Attorney General J. Gerald Williams, however. wasn't t happy about it. He alleged the tax department had on further scrutiny turned up $4,350 in shortages in Browns accounts. The result: Brown was picked up on warrant in Atlanta, Ga, and brought back to face the further charge.

Victory For Governor

Action or the Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco last week ln upholdlng the one per cent pro perry tax enacted by the l949 Leg lslaIure gave the Territory a bat Llng average of loo per cent on putting the basic tax program in to effect The three measurers of the program-unitorm business li- cense tax, income tax and property ta1-ale now all among the laws of the land. The income tax was challenged and was upheld in the courts. The property tax was held invalid by the District Court in Fairbanks on grounds of being in- equitable, but this decision is now reversed by the Circuit Court. The business license tax wasn't chal- lenged.
 The basic tax program is one ad- yocated by GOV. Gruening since he came to the Territory back in 1859 as a means Of putting the Territory en a sound financial basis. Con-
  the Governor said the Circuit Court action makes clear beyond argu- msnt that the Territory is on a sound financial basis, that it now has a comprehe nsive, While wholly moderate tax structure, and that after years of obstruction and pro- cr&stination, Alaskas financial house is now in good order. That Alaska tax measurers passed by the 1949 Legislature have stood up so well, reflects great credit on the draftsman, former Attorney General Ralph J. Rivers, on members of the Legislature who supported these bills, and finally on the pre- sent Attorney General J. Gerald Williams, and Assistant Attorney General John Dimond, who defend- ed this tax legislation against high-powsred and able counsel"
