attorneys throughout the coun-, try to prosecute vigorously any former Federal employe who violates the law which forbids him to represent a client in a case which involves the Government and touches on matters which the former official handled while in the Government. Brownell said this statute has never been really enforced. 4. The Justice and Treasury Departments have decided to disallow reduction Continued from Page 1 Brownell told the association that: 1. The Department, as of its campaign against gamblers, has indorsed legislation to outlaw the interstate transmission, of predicted gambling that inCongress, at its next session, will pass this or some similar bill.

2. The States "must face up to their responsibility and make the manufacture, possession land use" of slot-machines illegal. Federal law forbids the interstate shipment of business expenses on tax returns when the business enterprise is gambling or otherwise illegal. He also said the department is going to be tougher in prosecuting tax violators criminally. The principal target of Brownell's speech was the Guild, which founded in 1937 and has long been a subject of investigation by Congressional committees.

In 1944, the House Committee on Un-American Activities cited the guild as a Communistfront and, in 1950, called it the "legal bulwark of the Communist party." It recommended at that time the guild be added to the Attorney General's subversive list. Brownell said he studied the matter "with great care" because the guild "originally attracted some well known and complteely loyal American citizens at a time when our American Bar Association failed to do so."

27 (U.P) -Members of the Joint Legislative Committee to Study Racmet in closed session here today to weigh a proposal by a group of promoters to set up a legalized system of offtrack pari-mutuel betting in this State. The plan envisions establishment of many betting "offices." There was an immediate objection by Brooklyn Democratic Assemblyman, J. Sidney Levine, who said 14 of the proposed betting "offices" in Brooklyn were in "substandard areas" where the residents could least afford to bet, many of them being welfare recipients. Assemblyman Levine represents the KJ Highway-" Coney Island area. State Senator Harry Gittleson, another Brooklyn Democrat, asked the backers of the proposal whether a law enforcement problem would not still remain during the five months that New York tracks are closed and the legal "offices" would not be able to accept bets, during which time "unlawful bookies" might erate.

One of the backers conceded this was true, but said that few, if any, bookmakers would be able to survive one the off-season business alone, with little prospect of any income the time that legalized betting stations were open. The promoters, headed by Howard E. Booker of San Francisco, detailed their plan to the legislators yesterday. It would entail the establishing of 139 betting "offices" throughout the State, 20 of them in Brooklyn, 46 in Manhattan, and five in Nassau County. The operators of the system would receive 2 percent of the bets taken in at the offices.

Under such arrangement, Booker figured, his group would gross about $3,797,318 annually before taxes.

In Albany, a spokesman for the State Health Department its position on Dr.

Mahoney's assertion about "reasonable assurances." The spokesman said the State did not assure the commissioner any more serum, "because we don't have any promise." "We merely agreed back up his request to the Government when he submits a formal request through our office." The spokesman explained the State receives 60 CCs of gamma globulin from the ODM for every case reported. This should be enough to inoculate SLOAN. AVOIDS PRESS, HIDES IN CABIN OF EN ROUTE HERE Cobh.
