Treasury Plans
Suit to Collect
Marler Back Taxes
WASHINGTON, R
Federal

WASHINGTON, R = Federal
officials here aren't commenting
officially as yet on the Jack Mar
Ter income tax verdict.
Marler, a former deputy collec-
tor of internal revenue who now
manages the Tok Lodge, was ac-
Quilted in Fairbanks Tuesday
night on charges of failure to file
income tax returns in 1851 and
1852 But the Treasury plans a
civil suit to collect the taxes.
Marler contended he was being
taxed without representation be-
cause Alaska has no voting mem
Der in Congress.
Treasury officials said they
will study the trial records be-
fore making an official comment.
However, they said that from
available records it appeared no
issue had been raised by the
jury's decision or the judges
charge to the jury, which would
exempt residents of the territories
from paying the federal income
tax
They said the jury had only
cleared Marler of criminal
charge of wilful failure to file.
This, Treasury legal advisors said,
did not lift from Marler, or any
other resident of the territories,
the obligation to file income tax
returns and pay any tax due.
The Treasury said the govern
ment would now move, in civil
suit against Marler, to collect
taxes for the years in which he
did not file.
Exact figures were not avail
able in Washington as to the num-
Der of returns filed in the Ter
ritory of Alaska The Alaskan col
lection district is part of the
Washington State collection dis
trict. However, it was estimated
that in 1852 some $4,000 returns
were filed from Alaska and ap-
proximately 1854 million dollars
of income tax was paid by resi-
dents.

The midget loop sets a 115-pound
weight limit on its boys, complete
with equipment Each team is COM
posed of two seven-year-olds, two,
eights, three nine's, three tens, three
elevens and two twelve-year-olds.
Clark is seeking local merchants
who will sponsor equipping the boys
at SIS per player. The boys are pro-
vided with head gear, shoulder pads,
jersey and padded pants. Tennis
shoes are regulation
Coach Clark is also looking for an
assistant to help with the large turn
out.
Included among the Is boys are
Johnny and Tommy Schmidt, young
sters of High School Coach Pete
Schmidt. Bruce Marshall, Ivn Belts,
Larry Mast, son of Bluffton college

day with possibly three freshman
players providing something new"
for the SO model.
"One thing is certain" Mast prom
ises, 1.-THE fans viii get their moneys
worth of touchdowns this season. We
believe we have offensive power If we
can smother our opponents fireworks
this year."
The starters will undoubtedly in
clude Mast't power-pair in the back
field-Elbert Dubenion and Willie
Taylor-with veteran quarterback
Tom Reichenbach and either Emil
Knorr or Jim Tousley at fullback.
If Tousley should get to start, the
big Pandora youth will be one of
the first of this years crop of fresh
men to appear for the Beavers. The
other possible freshmen starters are
Dave Conrad of Lima at left guard
and Glen Snyder at center.
Starting ends are likely to be Jim
Buffinbarger on the left side and
Chuck Foraker on the right side and
the line. Dick Lee will undoubtedly
get the nod at right tackle and either
Roger Bixel or Bill Ramseyer at the
other tackle post. Ramseyer suffered
a hand injury in scrimmage last
Saturday, but the sprain may not
keep him out of the game. Harry
Weibel, 200-pound Barberton youth
back at school after years lay-off,
will probably start at right guard.
Mast expects to use substitutions
freely and give a good many new
comers an opportunity to show their
wares. Two more boys reporting for
the squad this week are Lee Krejeci,
230 pound center from Avon Lake,
Ohio, and Del Alderman, Toledo
sophomore end, who tips the beam at
210 and extends upward to the 6-3
mark.
Absent from the game Saturday,
and undoubtedly all season-will be
Mast's kid brother, Able, who suf-
fered a shoulder injury recently in
practice. A shoulder cast was neces-
sary.

major task OF rebuilding from neu-
cleus of four returning Iettermen,
and the team has not been tried thus
far even in preview game.
But smarting from last years 27-0
defeat in the first encounter of the
1855 season, the Wolves are not apt
to be in a passive temper Friday.
Situations like these are loaded
with dynamite in high school football
as Messrs. Schmidt and Harris well
know. The week has been spent on
ironing out wrinkles that appeared
in the aerial offensive last Friday
and tightening up the defense which
begged down several times because
of over-anxious play by some of the
line hackers.
Having a plentiful supply of ma
terial including a number of promis-
ing freshmen, the BlufTton coach had
not decided by mid-week which team
would start. 1t appeared that many
of the boys would have an opportu-
nifty to appear on the field.

Pirates May
Emphasize Aerial
Game This Season

Although there were rough spots
in evidence last Friday night, local
sports fans saw indications that
Buttons Pirates may lean heavily
this season on aerial plays mixed
literally with their running attack.
A pass, Joe Urich to lanky Don
Alspach, good for 29 yards set up the
touchdown play which followed when
Ramon Lewis crossed the goal on a
hand-of around left end.
The Pirates missed their first op-
portunity to score when a sustained
drive carried the ball to the 9-yard
line where it was lost on tumble.
Vanlue scored first when James
Martin went over from the three
yard line on a quarterback sneak in
the second half of the short game,
and the local lads tied it up in the
late minutes of the game.
A heavy Pandora-Gilboa team was
held to 60 victory by the light,
shifty McComb Rockets. After knock
ing at the door repeatedly, the Red
and White team scored on a 69-yard
run by Bill Hart through the middle
of the line
The Cory-Rawson Hornets were un-
able to score against Leipsic al
though the neighboring team ad-
vanced into the shadow of the goal
posts on at least two occasions. The
half ended as they pushed to the five
yard line, and they were knocking at
the 16-yard line when the game end

What started out to be Bluffton's S
first midget football team has turned
into two teams this week as Coach
Jim Clark was over-run by 25 can
didates this week before his opening
announcement even reached the
newspaper
Clark is entering his team-or
rather teams-n the Midget Football
League of Lima, which already has
seven other teams ready to open the
season. The boys will probably play
at Lima and at Harmon Field, if it
is made available on Sundays. Use
of the field by the Beavers on Sat
urdays will make it impossible to
schedule the games then, Clark said.

Outstanding team of the preview
was the snappy North Baltimore ma
chine which scored an 1870 victory
over Columbus Grove. Wayne Mauk
of the winning team provided a thrill
when he took the second half kick
off and returned it 80 yards for his
second I'D. His first marker was
made in the first half on 14-yard end
run. The Tigers last touchdown
came with seconds to play on a pass
RAIDER to ,Brumbaugh.
Not a single extra point was scored
after any of the six touchdowns
scored during the evening by all the
teams.

uating class are reported to have

In the four years the Beavers have
played Taylor during Mast's tenure
here, the Beavers have won three
out of four games.

Pownshops and the Police

Law enforcement in Washington win
be strengthened through a provision
which Congress inserted in the new pawn
broker licensing legislation just signed
by the President. AS originally presented
by the Commissioners, the bill to reopen
the city to pawnbrokers under a strict
regulatory act lacked any requirement
for reporting pledged goods to the Police
Department. The law requires such re-
ports, however, from dealers in second
hand goods.
Police Chief Murray testified that
thousands of dollars worth of stolen
personal and household belongings are
recovered each year from secondhand
stores through the reporting system. He
succeeded in having the pawnbroker bill
amended to provide for similar reports
to his department. This requirement is
reasonable one, designed to protect the
public interest.

The Stepped-up, SZ4b-mllllon air
safety program proposed by the Civil
AeronauticS Administration would greatly
reduce accident hazards during the next
decade. 1t would be illuSory to suppose,
however, that such an expenditure would
bring commercial flights under complete
control of ground personnel and equip
ment. Even the improved facilities would
not be of much help against off-airway
operations of the type that ended in dis
aster for two giant airliners over the
Grand Canyon.
The aim of the CAA is to broaden and
strengthen ground-control services as
rapidly as funds and chronological adj
vanceS will permit There is an economic
limit to the extent and degree of feasible
neutrality-suspicious. measures, however.
1t is not practicable to control the whole
air space. The best that can be done
with limited resources is to establish GER
tain air lanes through which aircraft
may operate only under control of airport
STATS. The new program, as outlined by
Deputy CAA Administrator James T.
Pyle, would increase the number Of corri-
doris through which airliners could be
directed with relative safety.
Mr.. Pyle made 1t plain that the S246-
million. three-year improvement plan
would lust barely" keep pace with the
expected growth of commercial aviation.
Complaining the outlook will be jet
power developments, bringing faster and
higher fights and thus additional prob
lens for the men in the airport towers.
He estimated that the number of airline
passengers will have increased to about
SO million a year by 1865, as compared
with today's 38-million total.

Senator Mansfield. [

Senator ManSneIQ, DemocraC
of Montana, is to be COM
mended for his plea for a
moratorium on public discus
sion of President Eisenhower's
physical condition, and it is to
be hoped that his plea has not
fallen upon deaf ears.
One gathers from reports
that, if the President appears
weary, it is because he is at
the end of his string. On the
other hand, if he appears re-
Taxed, it is because there has
been too much golf, and the
country has to contend with a
part-time President. 1t is en-
tirely possible that freedom
from the necessity to report
daily, and in detail, would
speed his recovery as much as
will medical attention.
True, this may be the Amer
lean voters only opportunity
to know his President through
and through, but is that nee
essary? Really. isn'tl it about
time to call of the hounds?
