Newspaper Page Text2 The Newi-Revlew, Roieburfl, Arch Gangsters Dodged Taxes, Senator Charges WASHINGTON W Sen. Wil liams (R.-Del.) said Friday the Treasury failed (or years to col lect delinquent income taxes from racketeers Frank Costcllo and Phil ip Kastel and has now "marked off" $315,156 of taxes due from Kas tel. In i Senate speech, Williams said the Treasury claimed it was unable to locate any assets of these men even though, Williams said, both were known to bo raking in fistfuls of money from slot ma chines and other enterprises. Williams said he had learned that Costello's income tax returns were not even audited during the World War H years. But he said the Internal Revenue Bureau is now checking into them. Williams said that for more than 15 years the government allowed a tax claim of about $25,0"') against Costello to remain out standing. He said it was collected on Feb. 5, 1047, only after the government filed a lien on $27,000 in cash that Costello left in a New York taxicab. As for Kastel, Williams said the record shows that "this racketeer has had very little respect for our income tax laws and that thp gov ernment has an equally poor rec ord of collection of taxes from him. Thousands Masked Off "Altogether during the past 15 years a total of $315,156 represent ing Income taxes due from Kas tel has been marked off or an average of over $20,000 per year "This does not include the $148, 043 which was marked off by the government in 1942 as represent mg cancellation of proposed penal ties." Costello, a New Yorker, was named by Senate crime investigat ors last year as one of the nation's gambling and underworld kingpins. kastel, whose operations have cen tered in New Orleans, also was a prime target of the crime rohbers. Both men were called as wit nesses before the Senate crime committee and were accused of contempt for refusal to answer some questions. Costello was convicted after a trial in New York and sentenced to 18 months in prison. He also was fined $5,000. His case is now pend ine on anDcal. The charge against Kastel was dismissed in Louisiana. ' GRANGE WILL MEET The Lookingglass Grange will meet at 8 p.m. DST Tuesday at the Grange Hall. The third and fourth degrees will be conferred.

(Staff Picture). Rifle Association The National Rifle Association is encouraging a program under which states will send in complete reports of every firearm accident, so that the exact cause may be ascertained, whether the accident is due to carelessness, lack of training In firearm safely, and al so to check how many hunting deaths are traceable to heart at tacks. This information was brought out in a talk by Lewis F. Lucas, deputy executive director and treasurer of the association. He spoke before about 40 local sport ing enthusiasts from Roseburg, Myrtle Creek, Coos Bay, Suthcrlin and Oakland Thursday night at the armory. Vern Orr, president of the Rose burg Rifle Club, opened the meet ing. He Introduced Robert L. Kirk, vice president of the state rifle association, 30 calibre division, who In turn introduced the speak er. His appearance here was in the Interest of continuing a congres sional appropriation (or promoting small arms marksmanship. There have been some fears the appro priation would fail, which would mean, he said that all junior and senior rifle clubs would have to turn in all club lines, targets ami all other Director of Civilian Marksmanship equipment. I.ucas substituted here for Mer- rlt A. Edison, who was called to Washington, D. C, to testirv in connection with the proposed $130, 000 appropriation for civilian marksmanship. Lucas discussed a program in effect in New York Slate for two vears. in which senior Instruct ors over the state are available and juveniles have to take instruc tion and recPive certified earns De fore they are authorized to buy a hunting license. This card is to assure that he Is capable of handling a firearm Last year 4.000 were certified, and next year it Is expected 8,000 hi vcniles will be certified. Such a program for other states is en couraged, said Lucas. He emphasized the Importance of continuing Ihe congressional ap propriation for small arms marks' manship in order lhat this present generation, which grew up with firearms in every day use may teach youngsters safe handling and use of fire arms, so they in turn can teach the next generation. He encouraged local clubs t o concentrate on creating more in terest in rifle clubs, in a fashion that the entire family may take a greater active part in shooting. The National Rifle Association's main purpose, according to Lucas jTAit FAHIIT Prevention Plan is to strengthen the right for Amer ican citizens to own and legally use a firearm. It is the only or ganization in the United States that fights to uphold those rights, he said. It promotes firearm safe ty, marksmanship training, sports manship and conservation. Sixty percent of its support is through memberships, 30 percent from ad vertising returns, and 10 percent miscellaneous. The association has 250,000 pal members in the U.S. Plumber Frees Child Trapped In Bath Drain ALBANY Calif., on Three year-old Sherry Whippo was tak ing a bath.

VACATION WE WILL CLOSE From JUNE 30 To JULY 7 Dial 3-6291 Boat Operators Give Reasons For Fee Protests Members of the Sport Boat Op erators Association of Reedsport Issued a statement today giving ad ditional reasons for their protests on the 15 per cent operating and service fee on Winchester Bay charter craft. The statement was signed by Ray Felf, chairman of the group; Capt. Lester Wells, vice chairman; and George Lemon, secretary. Their statement follows:. "We based our protest on the charge we have always made to visiting sportsmen fishing witii us which has been $5 to $5.50 (or four-hour trips. So now the park board says they are going to be very fat." with us, that we have to raise our price to $6 per person for a four-hour trip. And give them the said 15 per cent or 90 cnts plus dockage on top of that. "Then the customer has to pay parking which adds up to $6.65 per customer, more than any other place in Oregon. It seems to us that a fellow named 'Al Capone sometime back had the same fair way of treating his customers. Then on top of that, we, the said sport boat operators, who develop ed this business to where it is worthwhile for the county to step in and be so fair with us, and as all new business has to do so much pioneering at a loss, has to pay in addition a booking office charge wherever we can get a place to book which runs from 5 per cent to 15 per cent. So dp you wonder why we form an organization o protest such a price and why is this one little end of this large ded icated park to the public develop ed at our major expense." John A. Likkel Draws Drunken Driving Fine John Albert Likkel. Garden Val ley road, pleaded guilty to a charge of drunken driving today and Judge Ira B. Riddle fined him $150, gave him 30-day sttsepnded jail sentence and ordered his driver's license revoked for 90 days, ac cording to Municipal Court records.
