Sef-Incrin1inotion Is Charged
In Fight on Gambling Tax Here

A fresh attack on the consti-
tutionality of the gambling tax
stamp act was launched in Mu-
nicipal Court here yesterday.
Defense Attorneys Walter E.
Gallagher and Myron Ehrlich
argued strongly before Judge
Thomas C. Scalley that, since
gambling laws here are Federal
ones, rather than State, new
light is shed on the contention
that the tax law violates the
Fifth Amendments self-incrim-
ination protection.
The gambling tax law, which
was passed by Congress in 1851
as the result of disclosures
brought out during the Senate
Crime Investigating Committee
hearings. was upheld by the Su-
preme Court in March, when the
first test case under it reached
that body.
That case involved a charge
of failing to register and buy a
$50 tax stamp under the law
against a Philadelphia gambler,
Joseph Kahriger.
Argument Held Up.
Yesterdays argument was on
motion filed by Mr.. Ehrlich in
October, 1852, to dismiss a SINH
lar charge against Frank Lewis.
81, colored, of the first block of
Defrees street NV. Argument
on the motion had been held in
allegiance, pending the outcome
of the Pennsylvania case.
Mr.. Gallagher, who presented
yesterdays argument. leveled his
attack primarily at the Govern

ment's position in the Kahriger
case.
He said the Government mis-
takenly stressed the power of
Congress to levy excise taxes on
activities in the States, whether
they are legal or illegal, under
State law.
Mr.. Gallagher said the Gov
ernment followed this by urging
that. since Congress has not any
Federal law making gambling
illegal in Pennsylvania. the self
incrimination protection does
not apply.
Incriminated on Form.
Granting the Governments
position with respect to Penn
sylvania, Mr.. Gallagher held
that since the District laws COW
ering gambling here are Federal
laws, the Fifth Amendment does
affect the constitutionality of
the gambling tax.
The form that must be filed
out to obtain the tax stamp re-
quires the applicant incriminate
himself under the District code.
if he complies with the act. Mr..
Gallagher stated.
"The tax is conditioned only
on the commission of a crime" !"
he added.
Mr.. Gallagher also argued
that, since display of the stamp
probably would beample grounds
for the police to obtain a search
and seizure warrant here, the tax
stamp law, when complied with.

Assigned Risk Plan
To Give Drivers New
Chance for Insurance
By DonoId B. Hod!ey

The Washington driver who
has been turned down as a bad
risk for automobile liability in
surance may get another chance
under an Assigned Risk Plan,
adopted by. some $50 automobile
casualty companies operating
here.
However, the policy provided
by the plan will cost more than
an ordinary risk, SurchargeS
above regular premiums will
range from 10 per cent to 25
per cent. or even more in eX-
treme cases.
An old and dangerous car,
bad traffic record, a physical
disability or an occupational
hazard may have prevented the
driver from getting an ordinary
policy.
Within so days after a driver
has been rejected for bodily in
jury or property damage auto
mobile insurance in the District
it will be possible for him to
apply for a policy under the
plan. If the applicant meets the
more liberal provisions of the
plan, he or she will be assigned
as a policyholder to an individ-
ual company.
Distributes Risks.
The purpose of the plan is to
distribute the higher risks
among all companies. It has
been approved by Albert F.
Jordan, District insurance
superintendent, effective June l,
and includes all companies Ii
censed to write automobile Ii
ability insurance in the District,
except those writing insurance
on public passenger vehicles
only.
Final acceptance of the plan
by all of the companies was an
nounced yesterday at lunch
con of the District Association
Of Insurance Agents in the May
flower Hotel.

trict plan. explained it's opera
tions. He will continue to man.
age plans in New York and six
other States.
Mr.. Schepens pointed out the
loss rate has been very high on
this type of risk, ranging as high
as 95 per cent at times. This has
forced the companies to work
out a pool arrangement.
Some Ineligible
Applicants who are engaged
IN illegal enterprises or who have
had two or more motor vehicle
convictions in the preceding
three years, will be ineligible
unoef the plan.
Also barred are persons who
have been convicted or forfeited
bail on certain charges in the
preceding three years.
Included in the list are: Driv-
ing while intoxicated; hit and
run: homicide or assault in con-
nection with an automobile; and
speeding or reckless driving
where connected with personal
or property damage.
Also included is the driver who
has failed to pay his insurance
bills.
The company to whom the
policy-holder has been assigned
can require car repairs necessary
to avoid danger to public safety
and can turn down the applicant
II the repairs are not made.
Limit On Liability.
No company will be required to
write a larger policy than the
basic limit in the District, name
ly $1,000 and $4,000 for bodily
injury and $4,000 for property
damage.
An applicant must pay 80 per
cent of the annual premium to
put the policy in effect, plus
financial responsibility and as
signed risk surcharges.
These Surcharges start with 10
per cent for public passenger

risks and go up to 25 per cent
for persons with bad traffic rec

will be allowed to charge even
more for unusual risks, such as
the truck that carries TINT.

It's an automobile world and an

And our young race are going
astray
Jesus said to train the child
The way it should go today
Yet you are raising him the way
they want to go
And allowing them to go astray
You can't plant cotton you see
And look for corn no day
And you can't train your children

Allowing them all to have their way
This world has revolved on H. l..
And that doesn't sound so we'll
The revolving point is standing
today
On the letters that stands for leil
You cannot raise no crop
When you turn your cattle thereia
And you cannot raise your children

When you make them women and

Allowing your children to have
their way
And rome the streets of the city at
night
And you in the Church hollering
Amen
Do you think that's raising them
right
This modern day is a day of sorrow
When you allow your children to

Some in prison on the county farm
And others are going astray
Mothers and fathers can you get
