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.

Ellsworth Asks
Action On Probe
Of Indian Bureau
WASHINGTON ifl Rep. Ells
worth (R-Orc) said Friday he
expects the rules committee to act
early next week on his resolution
calling fnr investigation of the
Bureau of Indian Affairs.
The resolution calls for the
House Interior Committee to re
port, among other things, on "tran
sactions involving the exchange,
lease, or sale of lands or interests
in lands belonging to Indian wards,
with specific findings as to such
transactions in the ' state of Ore
gon." The resolution actually, is a com
posite of two earlier proposals in
troduced bv Ellsworth and Rep.
Bow (R-Ohio).
The Oregon congressman was
primarily interested in an investi
gation into reported irregularities
by bureau employes in the sale of
800 acres uf Indian land near bold
Beach, Ore. Two bureau employes
have been suspended as an out
growth of those allegations.
Bow's reso'ution dealt with the
wider problem of determining the
extent to which the bureau hi1,

EYEFUL Something caught the eyes of these little girls Saturday to take their atten

Forest Protective Assn. potluck. (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.

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."
