Supreme Court To
Rule on Gombling
Tox's Legality
WASHINGTON, Oct. 15 — UP—
The Supreme Court will decide
within the next few weeks whether
Congress chose the right method
of fighting the underworld when it
levied a' $50 stamp tax on gam-
blers last year.
At its first business session of
the 1952 term, the high bench Mon-
day accepted for review a decision
by Federal District Judge George
A. Welsh of Philadelphia that the
stamp tax is unconstitutional.
Welsh dismissed a criminal action
against Joseph Kahriger, 3(>, for
non-payment of the levy.
He ruled that Congress erron-
eously usurped the police powers
of the states when it required gam-
blers to give their names and ad-
dresses and names of persons with
whom they do business. Another
section of the law imposing a 10
percent tax on earnings was not
involved.
The Justice Department appeal-
ed to the Supreme Court, arguing
thatv Congress' purpose was to col-
lect revenue from organized gam-
bling, which annually defrauds the
U.S. Treasury of hundreds of mil-
lions of dollars.
The law climaxed a country-wide
crime investigation by a Senate
committee headed by Sen. Estes
Kefauver (D-Tenn.)
Three traitors lost their next-to-
last chance to escape the electric
chair when the court rejected their
appeals. They are Julius Rosen
berg and his wife, Ruth, condemn-
ed for relaying atomic bomb se-
crets to Russia; and Tomoya Ka-
wakita, convicted of treason for
brutal treatment of U.S. war pris-
oners. The Rosenbergs are confin-
ed in Sing Sing Prison, New York,
and Kawakita in the Los Angeles
county jail.
In other actions the court:
Rejected the appeal of Alfred
Victor DuPont, from a state court
judgment refusing to annul his
marriage to the former Mrs. Wil-
lard R. Wigley of Waco, Tex.

Soldiers Charged
In Justice Court
Bonds of $50 each were set in
two cases in Justice court here
this morning and trial set for Oct.
20 in connection with complaints j
filed against two soldiers by State
Highway Patrolmen Herman Seale
and Arthur Dyson.
The soldiers were charged with
stopping their automobiles on a
public highway causing a collision
in which two vehicles were dam-
aged.
Patrolmen said that the two sol-
diers, drivers of two government
cars en route from Fort Hood to
Fort Bliss with an army athletic
team, had stopped their car on
the highway about 10 miles east of
here near the railroad underpass.
A large van truck struck the rear
of one of the cars, driving it into
the other.
Both cars were slightly damaged
but none of the mer were injured.

AMAR1LLO, Oct. 15 — UP—Ten
" i Amarillo owners of commercial
i property have asked 108th district
i court to set aside the school tax
! assessment of their property, and
i a hearing on their request was set
I for 10 a.m. Nov. 3.
The 10 property owners claim
ihey are being charged a higher
tax rate than residential property
j owners. They asked for a manda-
' tory injunction ordering tax rolls
| changed to show commercial prop-
! erty oil the same basis as residen-
tial property.
I The plaintiffs contend this is how
i the valuation was set:
I The George Ehrenborg Co, a Dal-
j las appraisal firm, appraised prop-
I erty throughout the city at its full
j value. Then, they claim, the value
i of residential property was reduced
' by the school tax office by 20 per
| cent.
However, they contend, no such
j reduction was made in commercial
i property.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 15—UP —1
I The United States is "deceiving"
I itself when it "assumes" that Am-
| erican technological progress can-
not be matched by other nations,
j according to Army Secretary
I Frank Pace, Jr.
j "The hard, cold facts indicate
| that we are actually in a race with
| ihe Communists to improve the
quality of manpower," Pace said
i Monday night in a speech at the
! close of two-day ceremonies ob-
| serving the inauguration of Wil-
' liam G. Carr as executive secre-
tary of the National Edcucation
Association.
Pace said Russia's tremendous
progress in scientific research
makes U. S. scientists "no longer
certain of their lead."
