To Return to Sweden

MIAMI, Fla, Mar. 20 (AP)
Swedish Heavyweight Inge-
mar Johansson today was
granted permission to leave
this country pending final set
tlement of Government tax
claims against him.
Federal Judge Emett c.
Choate permitted Johansson to
depart after the fighter prom
ised to return to this country
when his testimony or deposi-
tionS were required in the
Governments efforts to collect
approximately a million dol
lars from his ring earnings.
II think you and the Attor-
ney General did the proper
thing" in OBTAINING Johansson,
Judge Choate told John j. Nc
Carthy, Department Of Justice
attorney who led the tax team
against the Swedish fighter.
Standing before Judge Choate,
Johansson said through his at
torney, Mathew Names Of New
York City. that he wished to
return to Sweden to see a
brother who recently under
went brain surgery and hao
asked for him.
Johansson promised to re-
turn to this country when the
Government required his pres

there would be no personal re-
strictionS on him.
In Washington, Attorney
General Kennedy said. in a
statement:

The White Sox pitching staff
cost the club the pennant last
year, according to Manager Al
Lopez, but it is fast erasing the
memory of the Senor's worst
finish in II years as a major
league skipper.
Southpaw Billy Pierce wiped
out another hunk yesterday in
a 81 exhibition victory over
the Dodgers as he limited the
National Leaguers to two hits
in a Six-inning workout and be-
came the fourth White Sox
starter in succession to hurl
low-hit ball.
Pierce's performance followed
similar outings by Early Wynn,
Frank Baumann and Herb
Score-key members of the
mound corps that also includes
such proven holdovers as Bob
Shaw, Turk Lown and Gerry
Staley, along with newcomers
Cal McLish and Juan Pizzaro.
The pitching must do it for
the 1859 pennant-winners says
Lopez, who blameS last years
third-place finish on the staff.
I'VE led the league in batting,
fielding and stolen bases" he
says, so it must have been the

Boost for Cards
Meanwhile, the Cardinals
who have lost Larry Jackson
for at least a month with q
fractured jaw, got a boost when
replacement Al Cicotte COM
bined with Art Kay and Maury
McDermott to shut out Mil

PittSburgh's Bob Friend also
turned in an outstanding jot
as he went the distance, scat

umph over the Yankees ano
gaining a measure Of revenge
for the two losses he suffered in

Catchers Keep Slusging
The catching department
continues to dominate the bat
ting. Pete Daley raped out
his third home run of the
spring yesterday to tie his fel-
low-catcher. Dutch Dotterer, in
that department. Daley also
added a single in his four trips
to raise his batting average
to 1893.
Shortstop Coot Veal also
contributed two hits to Wash
ington's nine-hit attack to
raise his average to 400.
Five of the Senator'S nine
hits went fer extra bases. Be-
sides Daley's home run over
the leftfield wall, 342 feet from
the plate, there were doubles
by Sturdivant, Veal and Willie
Tasby and a triple by O'Con-
nell. The Reds got II hits off
Sturdivant and Hal Woode-
shick, including a homer by
Cliff Cook and a double by
Tommy Harper, both Of whom
are minor league bound.

Red Sox pitcher. But I was
better than the last time"
In his previous start he
yielded six runs on five hits
in just one inning. That was
against the Twins last Wednes-
day at Pompano Beach. Man
ager Mickey Vernon sent him
to the showers after that first
inning and Sturdivant was
shaken up by the episode.
This is a tough business, "
he said before heading for the
pitchers box yesterday. Sure,
I was bombed in that first
inning, but I could have stayed
in. I don't know. if they let
me go here I know ! can catch
on with another team. I'll tell
you. the mental strain in this
business is worse than the
physical strain"
Is May BE Long Reliever
But Vernon liked a lot of
what he saw in Sturdivant yes
terday.
He's made the club" Mickey
said afterward. "I'l probably
use him as q long reliever.
They hit him some out there,
but I don't think he did too
badly. They only scored two
runs off him."
Certainly the handsome right
handlers major league expert
ence is a telling factor. Danny
O'Connell, the balding. 32-year-
old utility infielder, is another
who has made this club, and

We have his substantial secu-
rity and we have his word in
open court. Therefore, We felt
justified in not opposing his
request to leave the country"

court that the fighter had
spent 3la days giving deposi-
tions about his income and was
certain that in this country he
will not get a fast count, or
a long count, and no unneces-
Sary holding"
The attorney said the ques-
tion hinges on a tax treaty with
Switzerland, in which the
United States insisted that
athletes be included.
Mccarthy said Johansson
claimed his earnings went to
Scanart, a corporation by which
he is employed. but the Federal
attorney told the court:
"Johansson is Scanart. The
question is whether he is a resi-
dent Of Sweden"
Johansson claims that he is
a citizen of Sweden but is a
resident Of Switzerland and
hence is not subject to taxes
the Government contends he
owes the United States.
Mccarthy said the Govern
ment has tied up $500, 900 OF
JohansSon's funds in New York
and $105,000 from his March
13 fight with Champion Floyd
Patterson at Miami Beach. He
added Johansson will receive
some 100000 more from his
last Patterson engagement.

moter Of the fight, has sent
some $250.000 to Switzerland
and Scanart should pay the
taxes, Mccarthy told the court

Bureau Says States CannotBar
Indian Vote Despite Claim

a report published by the house
interior committee in 1859 win -ch
states that during a study in Oct
ober 1856 it was determined there
were. on reservations 312,39O In
dians, of whom 173,O78 were over
21 years of age.
THE REPORT added that of the
57,818 reservation Indians qualified
to vote, 1882 had voted in the
previous local, state, or national
elections.
The bureau spokesman said the
population on reservations and .the
number eligible to vote no doubt
have increased since then but he
has no estimate as to total.
Questions as to the status At
Indians as voters in respect to
states arose out of an elect ON
contest now pending in New Mex
leo.
Joe A. Montoya, who apparent
ly was defeated in the race for
lieutenant governor, has chaIleng.
ed several thousand Indian votes.
He contends that reservation In.
dians are subject only to the laws
and regulations of the federal gov.
eminent and therefore are inelig.
ible to vote in state elections.
AN OPINION issued Jan. Is.
1888, by the interior solicitor on
the question Of whether a state
can constitutiOnally deny the fraR-
chise to Indians is quoted:
81" am of the opinion that the
14th Amendment clearly prOhi-
bits any denial of the right to vote
to Indians under circumstances in
which nOn-Indians would be per.
mitted to vote.
''The laws of Idaho, New Mex
leo, and Washington, which would
exclude Indians not taxed from
voting lin effect exclude citizens
of one race from voting) ON
grounds which were not applied
to citizens of other races. For this
reason, believe such laws are
unconstitutional under the 18th
Amendment.
Similarly, the laws Of IdahO
and South Dakota which would exc
clude Indians who maintain tribal
relations from voting are believed
to be unconstitutional rs such
laws exclude citizens from voting
on grounds which apply only to
one race"
AT ANOTHER point, the state.
ment says:
I'm 194S, a three Judge federal
district court in an oral, unre.
ported decision, Trujillo v. Gar.
ley held that the provision in the
New Mexico Constitution exclud.
ing indians not taxed" from vOt.
ing constituted discrimination on
the grounds of race contrary to
the 14th and 18th amendments.

of the sparsely settled Western
