Ito Be Restudied

A restudy Of 1949 regulations
requiring transfer Of motor We.
hicle titles within four day'
after disposal" has been or
dered by the District Commits
sioners.
The restudy was initiated yes
terday at the request Of Nathan
M. Lubar, attorney for 26 cab
companies, involving some 5000
taxicabs. He said the drivers
buy cabs on time from the COM
Ipanies which he represents and
that the payments enable the
companies to buy other vehicles.
He contended that forcing i'm
mediate title transfer would put
his clients out of business, and
urged that title transfer not be
required until after completion
Of payments.

Pat Hoagland
Seized Here on
Lottery Charge
Bribe Case Suspect
Sought Since April il
Extensive Operation

A gambling suspect who had
managed to elude police since
last April was picked up yester-
day and charged with operating
a lottery.
The suspect, Calvin D. (Pat)
Hoagland. A, Of the $500 block
|of Leonard drive, Silver Spring,
has been on $500 bond on q
charge of conspiring to bribe
gambling squad Capt. Todd o.
Thoman. Trial on this charge
has not been set.
After his arrest yesterday,
Hoagland, described by Capt.
John Layton as a former mem
ber of the Emmitt Warning
numbers ring, was released on
81 900 bail for a hearing before
U. S. Commissioner Cyril Law
renee on August /.
Sitting in Auto
Capt. Layton said the five
month search ended with Hoag-
lands arrest as he sat in his
auto at Twelfth street and Penn
sylvania avenue NV.
Acting on a tip received last
January, that Hoagland had not
given up his business despite his
arrest on the conspiracy to bribe
charge, Capt. Layton said police
began setting a trap.
Several numbers writers be.
lieved members of Hoaglands
combine were followed until they
turned over their play to pickup
men. They, in turn, were fol-
lowed to a numbers drop.
For several weeks, Mr.. Layton
said, his undercover men played
regularly with the Hoagland
writer's until they felt they had
sufficient evidence to raid.
The raid was conducted on
March 81. 1t resulted in the ar
rest of Guy Baltimore, 40, col
ored. of the first block of RAN
dolph place NV, and two others.
Hoagland. however, was not pres
ent.
Since that time, Capt. Layton
declared, his men have been
searching known haunts of Hoag-
land in an effort to serve the
warrant.
Operations Extensive
-Hoagland's operations were
deserved by the policeman as
pretty extensive" He said that
when Baltimore was picked up
on March 81, raiders conflscated
479 numbers slips and more than
$4,000 in cash.
Hoagland, despite the fact he
has had no regular job in 20
years, according to Capt. Layton,
had 1888 cash in his pocket when
arrested.
Hoagland is among Is suspects
awaiting trial for allegedly pass
ing more than $4,000 to Capt.
Thoman in a city-wide pay-off
by gamblers in protection money.
Capt. Thoman played along
with the racketeers. When he
sprang his trap he netted two
policemen, Capt. John D. Monroe
and Probationary Detective
George c. Prather.
Monroe and Prather have
been convicted and are await
ing outcome of an appeal.

DC. Tax Barred
On Vitamins

District Tax Court Judge Jc
v. Morgan today ruled that vita
min and mineral concoctions are
not taxable as food under the
District Sales and Use Tax Act.
The decision climaxes the bat.
tie by a number of pharmacists
which started when the Commits.
sioners ordered a breakdown after
the tax was put into effect one
year ago.
At the time James L. Martin
tax assessor, ruled that vitamins
and minerals are foods and
therefore are subject to the Dis:
trict tax Of per cent.
Not Food, Judge Says
In his ruling, Judge Morgan
declared that. "it is clear that
vitamins and minerals in theil
compounded, isolated and con.
centrated 600 per cent synthetic)
forms sold are not foods /. II
should be noted that the fact
that vitamins and minerals may
be taken as a dietary supple
ment does not make them food
The judge then commented or
a regulation which exempted
only vitamins and minerals pre-
scribed by a doctor and declared
that while "it seems a convenient
method of determining whether
the vitamin or mineral is to be
used to cure disease such
theory ignores the recognition OF
preventive medicine"

Pharmaceutical Association rep

cies in the year-long fight: z.

forcing the regulation the phar-
macists refused to collect the tax

Two Petitions to
End Segregation in
September Rejected

Arlington school officials last
night officially announced that
classes viii not be integrated
when school opens in September.
The school boards announce
ment came in response to two
lpetitions which urged an inn
mediate end to segregation in
Arlington's public schools.
The petitions were presented
lat q board meeting by James e.
Brown. the National Association
flor the Advancement of Colored
People. Arlington branch, and
G. Robert Reed, education chair
man for the Community Council
for Social Progress of Northern
Virginia.
In Line With Directive
The school boards reply to the
petitions was in line with a di-
receive handed down from the
State Superintendent of Public
instruction. This order called for
Virginia's public schools to con-
tinue to operate through the
looming school session on a segre-
gated basis.
Warren Cox, board chairman

Irective, declared that "the Ar

Friends in Monkey House
Then Mr.. Niazi went to the
monkey house and scored a
smash hit with a chittering that
put the monks jumping about
their cages.
"The monkeys are very happy -
he said with satisfaction. II just

Later, he talked turkey to the
bird house inmates. The mynah

creatures, too, some of which
talked back. But others paid him
no heed.
Mr.. Niazi has been talking to

veloped an extensive vocabulary,

Donkey Not Up to It
DR.. William M, Mann, ZOO
director, escorted Mr.. Niazi
to the Antelope house. His
guest wanted to talk to a donkey.
The human beings were in the
yard outside the building and the
donkey was indoors. DR.. Mann
suggested that Mr.. Niazi call the
donkey out.
Mr.. Niazi took off his caracul
cap - perhaps manufactured
from a former friend-mopped
his streaming brow. replaced the
hat, put his two fists alongside
| his jaws and produced a mon
strous, ong-drawn-out ''hee
haw" sort of racket.
He turned to DR.. Mann and
said. "I gave him the female
mating call. He should be out
here right away"
But the donkey did not come
out. Finally the keeper entered
the building and shooed him
into the yard.
Hes only a baby" Mr.. Niazi
said. mo wonder he wasn't
interested"
