Eight teams began play at Kirk
Junior High School Tuesday even
ing in the East Cleveland Y.M.C.A
Sr. "B" Basketball league. Two
teams new to the league, East
End Nash and Eckert- Tomsic, won
their first contests. The Caputo
Bros. Builders, last years league
champions under a new hacker,
won handily against Diamonds
Mems Shop and Twist Drill also
emerged victorious in their 47-38
win.
In the first game of the eve
ming, East End Nash romped over
Nela Park General Electric, 70-38.
Each member of the Nash squad
scored from the field showing that
they have that scoring punch. Sex
ton was high with IA points, Su-
dam, Campbell and Grunwald had
13, IL, IL respectively. Paderis was
top scorer for Nela with II points.
Cleveland Twist Drill had a
rough time with L.D.L. Div. of
G.E. in their 47-3S victory. Their
victory was due only to their
fourth quarter rally which clinched
the contest. L.D.L. led 20-16 at
the half and 1926 at the end of
the third quarter. Fawcett was
high with II points, Kunecky and
Malaga each had IL. Kavanaugh
was high for L.D.L. with 16 points.
Caputo Bros. Builders had very
little trouble defeating Diamonds
Mems Shop 48-15, although their
last years high scoring attack was
absent. Diamonds defensive game
wasn't too bad although their
shooting game was way below par.
O'Donnell was high for Caputo's
with Is points. Burke had IL
points.
The final game of the evening
was the most impressive. The
Eckert-Tomsic five played superbly

follows:
Three of the AnacoStia'S four
present bridges are already over
loaded, and the temporary relief
afforded by the new South Capitol
bridge is ending as its trafic load

many motorists by helping to dis

A, revenue official says the new
Federal gambling tax has vir.
tually halted illegal gambling ir
the United States but he added:
II don't know how long the
honeymoon will last"
Eugene Coyle, the revenue bu-
reau's expert on the gambling tax
said yesterday the new tax has
choked of 80 per cent of the Ma
tion's estimated $40 billion a year
Illegal gambling business.
Most of the gamblers still OPP
Grating, he said. are small fry.
Mr.. Coyle said most of the big
time gamblers have closed shop"
because they are afraid to reveal
their illegal operations to police,
the public and the press as the
new law requires.
Ask Western Union Probe.
In another development, the
Federal Communications Com
mission ordered an Investigation
into how gamblers are using
Western Union telegraph wires.
Western Union had proposed to
put new regulations for transmits
sion Of horse and dog racing news
INTO effect today, but the FEC or
dered a postponement until May 8
TO allow time for public hearings.
It said it wanted to find out
whether the regulations violate
constitutional guarantees such as
freedom of speech and the press,
and whether they will fully cut of
service to Illegal gambling interests,
In New York a Western Union
spokesman said the company is
caught" in the middle because
courts have held that racing and
ether sports information is legal.
He said the company itself is
anxious to cut of transmission of
Illegal information.
8,913 Buy Stamps.
Regarding the Federal gamblers
tax. Mr.. Coyle gave these figures:
A total of 1913 gamblers over
the Nation bought tax stamps in
December compared with 1856 in
November, the first month. under
the law. Most of these were petty
operators. such as panchboard
dealers In States where punch-
boards are legal.
Gamblers reported about 50 mil
lion in business for November and
paid the 10. per cent tax amount
ing to more than $4,000.
This sum. added to the $685.
S04 paid in for tax stamps, brought
collections from gamblers through
December to $582,5O4. Congress
men estimated when they passed
the law that they might get $500
million a year in revenue.
One 50-cent bet in Minnesota
was duly reported. The Revenue
Bureau listed collections of S cents
on gambling operations in Min
nesota for November. =

$50 Million in All.
The bridge and its immediate

Half the cost probably will be paid

Plans are these:

On the east end. East Capitol

It will be six-lane dual highway
to the District line. At Kenil-

nections to both. There. will also
be an underpaSs under the Penn

Kenilworth avenue will be re-

enter the highway only at points
controlled by traffic signals Or

Instead, Westbound vehicles will

Senator Mccarthy, Republican,

physician to Congress, predicted
the Senator would be unable to
resume his activities for about two
months.

the operation very well and is
doing as well as could be expected.
His condition is not critical"
Senator Mccarthy underwent
minor sinus surgery at the hospi-
Ital July 13, DR.. Calver explained.
"a complete checkup revealed
Ia herniation of the stomach
through a rupture in the dia-
phragm," the physician continued
adding that the operation today
was to correct this condition.

Suggestion by Magnus0n.
The phrase effectively to Sc
cure" is understood to have been
suggested by Senator Magnuson of
Washington, as a basis for COM
promise. in place of any reference
to compulsion or enforceable"
laws.
Senator Smith of North Caro-

of Alabama described it as lone
we can live with" Senator Hol-
land of Florida said he and some Of
the other Southerners in the COM
mittee did not vote for it. but CO.
operated in working it out.
The Republican civil rights
plank spoke of the primary re-
sponsibility of each State" to con-
troll its own domestic institutions.
It favored supplementary Federal
action, but said Federal action
should not duplicate State efforts.
