Gambler Cohen
Given Five Years,
Fine Of $10,000
i
MICKIY COHEN
Law Finally Catch, Up
LOS ANGELES GW Gambler
Mickey Cohen has plenty of time
in jail today to contemplate hi
debt to Uncle Sam.
It's a big one, adding up this
way: five years in the penitentiary
and $10,000 line for income lax
evasion; the taxes he was charged
with evading, $156,123 for 1946. 1947
and 1948, plus penalties and in
terest, making nearly $250,000;
court costs of his trial which might
total up to $100,000.
His lawyers said the 37-year-old
gambler will appeal. Cohen pre
sumably can get out of the pokey
while the appeal is pending. If and
when he does serve the time, he
can apply for probation after serv
ing one-third of it, or one year
and eight months.
The Brooklyn-born Los Angeles
underworld figure didn't quaver
when Federal Judge Ben Harrison
sentenced him Monday. His wife,
Lavonne, told newsmen she ex
pected a heavii. sentence "be
cause of prejudice." She was in
dicted with him on the evasion
charge, but the government
dropped the case against her in
mid - trial. Cohen was convicted
June 20 by a Jury on three counts
of evasion and one of making a
false statement.
Judge. Harrison sentenced him
to five years on each count, the
maximum $10,000 fine on each
count but said one $10,000 pay
ment could square it for the four
counts. Cohen, who says he's broke
could take a pauper's oath and
serve an extra 30 days in lieu of
the fine.

Fight Over Contro Is
Limited Triumph For Truman
House Demos
Post Victory
In First Round
Crucial Struggle Over
Price Rollbacks Still
In Skirmishing Stage
WASHINGTON (. Admin -
istratioo forcee in the House laid ,
cautious claim today to probabej
limited victory in the big battle
over economic controls. j
Still ahead, however, loomed the
crucial struggle over price roil -
backs, in which farm state mem
bers appeared united for an all-out
drive to wipe out rollbacks past
and future on every kind of farm
product.
With the House locked In hitler
controversy, administration a n d
labor union spokesmen kept up a
drum fire of pleas for continued
strong controls, mixed with pre-
dictions of disaster if they are not
heeded
1. Mobilization Director Charles
E. Wilson called on the nation not
to be lulled by the prospect of a
Korean truce into easing up on
controls or the rearmament effort.
2. Price Stabilizer Michael V.
DiSalle told farmers failure to con
trol prices would hurt them most
of all.
3. A large segment of organized
labor drafted a "warning and ap
peal" to the American people to
get after their congressmen in sup
port of a controls program to
avert a predicted $l-a-day rise in
living costs.
In preliminary house skirmish
ing. Democratic lines held firmly
Monday in their initial test. By
vote ot 169 to 149, the House turned
back a concerted Republican ef
fort to formulate a call on the ad
ministration to try indirect con
trols before continuing direct curbs.
Net all He Wants
Rep. Prieat (D Term), an assist
ant Democratic floor leader, inter
preted the vote to mean that Presi
dent Truman will get a controls
bill which will "still be adequate,"
even though short of everything
he wants.
"It indicates we are safe on the
principle of direct controls." Priest
told newsmen. "It shows the House
is not in a mood to do away with
controls, or even greatly weaken
them."
Only a few hours after the House
opened what promises to be a
week-long battle of votes over re
newal of the controls law now due
to expire July 31, mobilization Di
rector Wilson directed his plea to
the nation.
Soviet Worries Wilton
In radio and television broad
casts. Wilson said he was "more
worried than ever before
in my
life about America's safety."
"I can't believe that Soviet Rus-
' " comln? u for a truce in
Korea, has altered its long term
plans," he said.
"I can only believe it is the latest
maneuver in a continuing series
of actions designed to weaken the
free world."
Wilson said the outcome of the
house battle may determine
whether the country is to succumb
to "wholesale inflation."
"I cannot work etfectively with
the handcuffs the pressure groups
are forging for me now." he added.

Japan Peace
Treaty Draft
About Ready
Acceptance By Russians
Not Looked For; Demand
For Reparations Dropped
WASHINGTON ) Restora
tion of Japan's independence with
out formal restriction on its mili
tary, political and economic de
velopment is provided by the
latest and nearly final draft of a
peace treaty.
The United States has submitted
to the major wartime Pacific Al
lies the revised draft of a pro
posed peace ot reconciliation
expected to be signed in two
months with few changes.
The new text was made avail
able today to the Associated Press.
The Slate department is circu
lating the proposed treaty in the
expectation that it will be ac
cepted by the other governments
except Russia for signing with
only minor alterations. Thia coun
try has proposed that a peace con
ference be held at San Francisco
Sept. 4 to 8.
The White House said President
Truman may be in San Francisco
at the time but that it is not cer
tain he will attend the actual sign
ing. The treaty revision reflects the
settlement of differences between
the U. S. and Britain worked out
by Ambassador John Foster Dul
les in recent conferences at Lon
don, and negotiations on the Phil
ippine. demand for reparations.'
Reparations Excluded
It rules out reparations as such
on grounds Japan does not have
the capacity to pay. The treaty
however, requires Japan to ne
gotiate possible compensation for
the Philippines and otner occupied
countries by making available Jap
anese industrial skills and serv
ices. The treaty will clear the way
for the projected .separate pact
by which the Unjted States plans
to retain troops in Japan and
bases nearby, with Japanese con
sent. It calls far the withdrawal of
"all occupation forces of the Al
lied powers" within 90 days af
ter the treaty becomes effective,
but permits the "stationing or re
tention of foreign armed forces in
Japanese territory under or in
consequence of any bi lateral or
multi-lateral agreements which
have been or may he made be
tween one or more of the Allied
powers, on the one hand, and Ja

Brubaker, Lost
In Woods, Finds
Way To Safety
A broken compass, a 20 mile
hike up the Smith river, and a
mysterious animal with "red eyes
that shine in the dark" were
among the experiencea of a Rose
burg timber salesman who became
lost in the woods some 25 miles
west of Drain Sunday.
Harry A. Brubaker, 55, walked
out under hia own steam Monday,
his wife reported. He ended up at
a ranger atation, snaking wet, af
ter hiking much of th 20 mile
route in water.
Th sheriff! office had reported
him lost Monday morning, acting
on information provided by Shel
ley Hayes, with whom Brubaker
had gone into the forest wilder
ness to examine timber Sunday.
Brubaker was the object of a
search by air and ground parties
Sunday and Monday. Hayes had
organized a ten-man search party
and Deptuy Sheriffs Ira Byrd and
Cecil Bever scoured the area by
air looking for signs of smoke.
Brubaker reported he had be
come lost after separating from
Hayea and agreeing to meet at a
designated ridge. Brubaker'a com
pass had been broken when he
stumbled and fell, however, and
he was unable to find his way to
the ridge.
He reported seeing Byrd'a plane
overhead while he was hiking up
the river. He waved frantically, he
said but was unable to attract
tne liter a attention. He carried no
matches for a fire.
Brubaker is now curious as to
the identity of an animal he aaw
Sunday night in the woods. It had
red eyes, set far apart, that glow
in the dark, he said.
Brubaker, who lives at 2710 Har
vard avenue, is employed by the
Valley Real Estate company.

Discussions Deal Solely
With Military Matters,
Allies' Spokesman Says
By NATE POLO WETZKY
SEOUL, Korea (AP) Cease-fire representatives
have "made progress toward an agenda to discuss an Ar
mistice," United Nations representatives said tonight
Discussions will be resumed Wednesday in Communist
occupied Kaesong.
A communique issued by U. N. Commander Gen. Mat
thew W. Ridgway'g headquarters said the two opening ses
sions on Tuesday were held in "an open and formal atmos
phere." At the outset of the talks Vice Adm. C. Turner Joy,
head of the five-man U. N. delegation, announced discus
sions would be restricted to military matters in Korea. He
said the Allies would not talk about anything else no
politics, no economics, no military affairs elsewhere.
Allied war correspondents were not permitted in Kae
wng. They will not be allowed to go Wednesday, either,
as planned earlier.
Brig. Gen. Frank Allen, chief of information, said news
men would be sent to Kaesong "after the conference is on
the track and there is assurance it will stay on the track."
As a briefing officer was mak
ing his report, the North Korean
Communist rad.o at Pyongyang
aaid that withdrawal of all fop
eign troops was one of the con
ditions of peaceful settlement of
the Korean war.
The Red radio aaid eventual
solution of the Korean problem
should be left to the Korean people
themselves.
However, the Kaesong talks, as
the U. N. viewpoint was outlined
by Admiral Joy, will be restricted
