The diagnosis was cancer Of the

She was operated on May 8

surgeons decided to wait for more

Judge Holtzof objected to what
he termed repititious cross-ques-

asserted he wanted an early end

it himself.

case be recessed so he could keep
an appointment with his doctor.
Declines Request.
But Judge Holtzoff declined to
adjourn at that point remarking
that the case was more important
than a visit to the doctor and
stated "the doctor can wait five
minutes"
The long cross-examination,
which lasted until almost pm,
was directed mainly at statements
made by the woman to police and
at circumstances surrounding ex-
animation Of her by other doctors.

|Ex-Nunlbers Chief
Wins Court Fight for
$4,000 Tax Refund

Carroll Bailey, reputed Wash
|ington numbers king Of the '30s,
who served time in jail, Is due
to get a $5,459.04 tax refund, plus
interest.
This was assured yesterday.
when the Court Of Claims ruled
in his favor. Only q successful
Government appeal to the Su-
preme court can upset the deci-
sion.
Bailey, owner of the Railway
Restaurant, 90l Second street
NE, served four months in the
Federal Reformatory at Peters,
burg. Va. before 1889. on a tax
evasion charge. He received a
Ifour-month to two-year sentence
lin District Court here in May,
1899, after pleading guilty to q
numbers conspiracy charge. Po-
lice raided his headquarters in
the 900 block Of Second street
NE. in January, 1888.
Brother Filed Returns.
Because Of his trouble with the
law. the Claims Court recalled,
Bailey had his brother, Ernest
Bailey, q counterman in his res
taurant. I'LL out the income tax
returns for 1912 and 1943. The
court found that the brother had
no financial interest in the bust
ness. received none Of the profits
and had no part in the manage
ment.
Bailey argued he was entitled to
a refund, because the restaurant
tax already was paid in the name
of Ernest Bailey. He contended a
double tax was paid on this in
come.
Government Loses Plea.
The Government contended
that Bailey, owner of the restau-
rant, under the circumstances was
mot the proper party to recover,
but his brother Ernest. But the
court held that Carroll Bailey was
the actual taxpayer, paying on his
own income earned by property
owned by him. although the tax
return was in his brothers name.
The court also swept aside the
Governments contention that
Bailey failed to file his request for
the return in time.
Bailey was represented by At
torney Elton B. Taylor and the
courts opinion was written by
Judge BENJAMIN II. LittletOn.

Murray Seeks
Pay Raise for
District Police
Plun Would Boost
Top Bross by 81, 1865
And Privutes $340
By J. Theodore Grown

ray increases Tor police, as al
aid to building a better depart
ment. were proposed today b.
Police Supt. Robert v. Murray ans
the Police Association.
The programs are similar, witt
the exception that the Police Asso.
cations proposal urges less of ar
increase for higher grades ane
more for lower grades. The in.
creases would affect all grades.
Under Maj. Murray's proposal
the annual pay raises would range
from $1,965 for the second-in-
command to $340 for class 6 pri-
Yates.
Costs Estimated.
The Police Association requests
raises Of from $1,205 q year for
the Second-in-command to $34O. 81
for class l privates. The first pro-
gram would cost $1.117,786 q year,
and the second. $1.137. 099 q year.
Under both proposals, those In
the lower grades who remain in
those grades year after year with
out promotion would benefit by
automatic $3.50 a year increases
every five years up to 80 years
service.
The longevity increases, Mai.
Murray said. represent one of the
most important features of both
programs.
I'VE can't have all chiefs and
no Indians" he said. The regular
$500 increases, he added, would
serve as an incentive for those not
promoted to remain in the Police
Department.
Urged by Citizen Groups.
The chief added that he had
received several letters from Citi-
zens' associations, proposing q
police pay increase based on serv-
ice with the department.
Under both programs, those re-
ceiying additional pay for special
jobs-such as detective sergeant,
precinct detective, probationaI
detective and others-would have
the additional compensation in
creased.
Maj. Murray cited these just
ifications for adoption of one of
the pay increase proposals:
!. Increased efficiency.
2. Improved morale.
8. Making the job more desir-
able and attracting better ap-
plicants.
4. Reducing the number Of re-
tirements.
5. Following the system Of in
grade promotions for other Gov
eminent employees.
To institute in-grade promo
tons, Maj. Murray said, there
must be a Redistribution Of sal
aries.
Would Increase Pensions.
Both proposals also urge in
creasing police pensions. The
Murray plan would add $22. 1850 to-
the monthly pension cost. and the
Police Association program would
add $23.710.
The plans also propose in
creases for Park Police pensions,
with increases ranging from $40 05
for captains to $18.13 a month for
detective corporals under the Po-
lice Association plan. Maj. Muir
rays proposed Park Police in
creases range from $3.50 for lieu
tenants to $29.85 for class 4 pri-
Yates.
