was forthcoming from Hugh
was forthcoming from Fontaine,
who does the worrying for The
D. and H. Stable.
This horse is filter than he's
been this year." Fontaine said
yesterday after Needles had his
best Maryland workout.
I Jockey Dave Erb, his regular
rider, took Needles on the Plm-
lico track and after the colt sur
veyed the countryside casually,
he got down to business. Erh
got Needles to gallop nicely from
the half pole to the wire and he
moved through the stretch with
an easy motion.
Count Chic Drills
Count Chic turned in a neat
workout after the second race
yesterday, spinning S furlongs
in a minute and four fifths OF
a second. Picked out of a claim
ing race for $500 by the Lozzis,
Seattle restaurant owners. Count
Chic has been doing a good
chasing job on Needles. He fin
ished second in the Florida
Derby and fourth in the Ken
lucky Derby.
The big question to be an
Iswered tomorrow seems to be
how far and how fast Needles
Will have to come in about the
last quarter to catch the lead
Iers. Everyone takes it for
granted that the Florida colt
will be on the tail-end most of
the way. He came from 16
lengths OF the pace to catch
FabiuS in the Derby. a handicap
that could be disastrous in the
shorter PreakneSs. Most observ-
Iers believe Needles will have to
start his finishing "kick" at the
far turn to be in full stride by
the time he straightens out into
the short homestretch.
Jockey assignments were COM
pleted late yesterday when
Trainer Lloyd Lawson got Bill
Boland of New York for Count

 Cracking Down on Fairbanks

SEATTLE R-William E. Frank, district director for the Internal Revenue Service, says it is not cracking down" on residents of Fairbanks.
 The Fairbanks Daily News Miner charged recently that reve- nue agents have seized bank ac- counts without warning or notice.
 Frank said Saturday: "It's not so. We're not mad at Alaska
 We're not conducting any re- prisals. Our enforcement in Fair banks and Alaska is the same as in the State of Washington.
 If any Alaskan or anyone else thinks he has a legitimate com plaint against the Internal Reve- nue Service I'll be glad to receive a personal letter. I will investi- gate the complaints myself and make any correction necessary"
 Frank said collection activities of Max Pierce, Fairbanks collec- ton officer for 212 years, are clearly defined by statutory rules. He declared:
 "Pierce is following the rules. I was up there in May and l looked over his work. Pierce is not being unfair to anybody. He's a nice guy.'

 Hartman, in speech at Wheel ing, w. Va, took another dig at the moderation theme of Stew enson.

 Frank said the service by law must follow a carefully outlined procedure in collecting.
 It it is determined thru legal process that a taxpayer owes money or if he agrees he owed money, he first receives bill. If he does not reply, notice is is sued to the collection officer, who is told to collect.
 The collector then goes to the taxpayer. If the taxpayer says he can't pay, the officer must ask for a financial statement signed under oath. At this point, most persons pay. If not, the collection officer can demand payment, if the person has enough assets.
 The officer has the power to seize sums in a bank, seize and sell real property or arrange to take reasonable amount out of each paycheck the taxpayer gets until the tax is paid.
