The Bureau of Internal Revenue
says the law Congress wrote last
year to make gamblers pay special
taxes is just not working.
Not much money has been col
lected in taxes, and gambling Is
still widespread, it said this week
in a monthly activity report re-
viewing what has happened be-
tween the time the law went into
effect last November UP to the end
of fiscal year 1852 on June 80.
The law provided that certain
gamblers must register as such
and buy a $50 occupation stamp
each year. and then pay q tax
amounting to 10 per cent Of their
total take.
The bureau said In its report
of the eight-month period:
when reviewed In the light o1
expectations Of the legislators, the
wagering tax provisions have
tailed to produce the desired re-
suits. =. It appears that the taS
yield in a full year of operations
will be about So million, or 2 per
cent Of the original estimate Of
$400 million. AS a regulatory
measure, the provision may prove
equally non-effective."
The report said there had been
"a marked decline in large book

cradle activity exists in the field
of lottery, such as policy, num-
bers, baseball pools, etc., which Is

hope to create better feelings
among the japanese toward Com
munist China and Russia. The 10
cal party will echo every propa-
ganda statement from Moscow
and Peiping. calling for peace
treaties and renewed trade with
Japan.
Only 28,598 Japanese are now
registered with the government as
Communists. A good guess, how
ever. would be that there are
really between 10000 and 10000
confirmed Communists in the
country, plus about 100000 fellow
travellers.
Russia Still Boss.
United States intelligence sources
say that up to three-fourths of
the 100000 to 800, 1000 Koreans in
Japan will follow the Communist
Party line.
The expert predicted North
Korean Reds will carry the ball
on Communist activities in Japan
if a Korean armistice is achieved.
The Chinese Reds will boss the
program in Asia and Russia will
direct most of its anti-American
campaign into Europe.
He added that there may be
slight differences of opinion be-
tween the japanese Reds and
Moscow, but that Russia is still
the boss and still calling the tune.

Gas Leak Discovered

High-octane gasoline spread
over a corner Of Washington Ma
tional Airport today and seeped
into a ditch adjoining Mount
Vernon boulevard after a break
in underground storage tanks OF
pipes.
Gasoline bubbles were discov-
cred on the surface of the ground
about 500 am. at the southwest
corner of the airport where there
is an underground tank farm
capable Of storing LIS million
gallons of gasoline.
A 20-inch pipeline leads from
the tank farm about a half mile
to q dock near the Sailing Marina
where tankers unload high octane
gasoline for the airport.
After several hours of seepage,
only 80 gallons of gasoline were
from the underground
tanks. Airport firemen poured
about 800 gallons of water a min
ute over the area.
Operations at the airport were
uninterrupted as the tank farm
is located in an area not used for

TOKYO, Aug. 23.-An authori-
tative Japanese expert on Com
munist tactics today predicted the
Reds will launch a series of guer-
rilla terror raids this fall, de-
signed to discredit America and
lure more Japanese to the Red
camp.
He expressed conviction that
such plan is being worked out
in Moscow during current strategy
talks with a Chinese Communist
delegation as part of the Red
hate America" campaign.
The expert, who cannot be iden-
titled because of his high position,
said the Reds hope their guerrilla
raids will become such a threat to
the government that American
security forces will be called in
to help. The Reds then plan to
charge that American troops are
suppressing the japanese people.
Will Exploit Resentment.
The Reds also plan to exploit
resentment at the continued pres
ence of foreign troops in Japan.

SEOUL. KOREA, Aug. 23-The
United States 5th Air Force jubi-
lantly announced today that in
the first 20 days of August. United
Nations Sabre jet pilots shot down
26 Russian-built Jets in aerial bat
ties over North Korea in which
only one Allied plane was downed
An Air Force spokesman said
the record represents what is
probably the most clean-cut VIC
tory of the Korea war the
nearest thing I find to it is for
the entire month of last June,
when 20 MICS were shot down
and only one Sabre jet was shot
down."
The new total followed today's
report that Sabre pilots shot down
three MICS the past week without
losing a single plane. Six Com
munist jets were damaged, max
ing a total of 20 MICS crippled
during August.
The Air Force said, however
two Sabres and four other u. N
planes failed to return from mis-
sions the past week. Two pro-
pellor-driven planes were downed
by anti-aircraft fire. Loss of the
others was unexplained. This
made a total of II u. N. planes
lost during August, but only one
in air combat.

mist fighters from interfering with
U. N. air strikes against Red
stockpiles all along the front yes

of a stepped-up campaign, dis
