REHoBOTH BEACH, Del.
June 16.-Young Izaak Waltons
of this summer vacationland are
going to have a chance to try
out their hook-and-line prowess
at a special Fishing Derby.
The date is not set. But Mayor
Clarence K. Lynch thought up
the idea to give the youngsters
Ia break while mentioning here
at this predominantly family re-
sort.
1t is planned to stage the derby
on the week end right after July
Fourth. 1t will be held on Lake
Gerar, picturesque game refuge
right back of the Hotel Henlopen.
In preparation for the derby,
Lake Gerar, a small fresh water
body within a half-block of the
oce9nfront. has been stocked
with variety of fish by the
State Game and Fish Commits
sion.
Working with Chief State
Game Warden Virgil F. Hearn,
who lives here, some 1900 fish
have been planted. They include
bass, catfish, sinners. and pike.
I'VE want to give them little
time to spawn before the derby"
said Mayor Lynch. I'm the mean
time we are asking adult anglers
to keep of the lake. We have
never before staged a sporting
event exclusively for the younger
crowds, and children up to IA
years old will be eligible to COM
pete.
Numerous families bring
their children here after the
close of schools, and they're en-
titled to special recreational
consideration"
The Chamber of Commerce is
cooperating with the appoint
ment of a derby committee and
selection of prizes.
Fishing for Adults Is Good
AS for adult sportsmen, the
spotty. coolish weather so far
this season has been no deter
rent. According to Game War
den Hearn 1.-The fish have been
Iswarming in Delaware Bay and
in the Atlantic Ocean off Reho-
both Beach and other coastal
areas nearby" They are really
catching the fish, he says, trout,
lkingfish, blues, sea bass. por-
gies. and a few founder. Even
Icroakers are coming back strong
after a moderate scarcity of a
couple of past seasons. Some
blues are weighing from 6 to Z
pounds.

INTERESTS ON
BACK TAXES
COST JOE
$275 DAILY

NEW YORK - CAMP - One
gets an idea of Joe Louis income
tax dilemma when it is consid-
cred that it costs the former
Brown Bomber" about $275
daily for interests alone. Joe is
indebted to the government for
81, 199, 437 in back taxes, inter-
ests and penalties.
The staggering daily figure was
revealed by Pat Robinson, ms
writer, here last week. He esti-
mated Joe pays that much on the
million plus account.
Joe has made, several attempts
to pay off his indebtedness to the
government, including his ill
fated comeback attempt. After
that failed, the former heavy
weight boxing champion took to
wrestling, but a bad heart also
ruled out the latter. His last ma
jor effort was on the television
show High Finance" when he
and his wife, the former r e
Morgan, won a total of about
SAL, 900. Joe's share, an estimat-
ed $4,000, was Immediately
grabbed by the government.
The government is also after
trust fund of@$61, 900, set UP
for Joe's two children.
Joe'S only real income now
comes from the international
Boxing Club, which he serves as
director of boxing, and earnings
from his milk company. The Joe
Louis Milk Co. He repeatedly
earns about $4,000 a year from
the IBC. Figures on his milk bus
mess are undetermined.
Meanwhile, many SPORTS fans
have sided with Joe in the tax
controversy. They feel that h c
government has been unduly hard
with Louis, and could have af-
fected settlement with him long
ago. Instead Joe's sympathizers
claim, the government has been
constantly haras,ing him.
Joe himself has virtually
thrown in the sponge. He said he
simply does not have the money
to pay the government the stag
gering bill.
In more than Is years of pro-
feS3ional fighting, Joe amasseo
over four million dollars.

Clyde Killens
Organizes
Poolroon Owners

Poolroom owners of Miami
about 20, met Thursday at Clyde's
Recreation Center, $50 NV End
ave. to organize for the general
welfare of the community. With
Clyde Killens as spokesman for
the group, plans were discussed
to "clean house" against patrons
who are unruly, lascivious in their
conduct, profane and degrading,
while frequenting their houses Of
amusement.
Complaints from passersby
brought stern action from the
group of owners. They readily
agreed to cooperate with all city
ordinances and threatened to re-
port any member of the owners
group, who fails to keep his pool
parlors in good shape. Killens was
deliberate in his proposals and
urged the carrying out of these
plans.
Killens said, " don't think it is
at all necessary for our cuSto-
mers to resort to promiscuous
swearing and boiSterous CONVEX
sations as some of them are gull
ty of doing. And it is my desire,
with the help and cooperation OF
the owners that these unnecessary
practices are stopped.
A paid investigator will make
special visits to each of the bus
ineaseS represented, to check
closely on activities, and report
to the group.
Another meeting is scheduled
for Jan. 3 to discuss further
plans of the body.
