Justice Department Moves On GamMers High Court Upholds Gambling Tax Law Washington up — The justice {department signalled full speed ; ahead today on prosecution of; several hundred big and smalltime gamblers accused of dodging I the federal gambling tax. Action on the alleged violations had been held in abeyance for several months, pending a supreme court ruling on the validity of the 1951 law requiring gamblers to | register with the federal government and buy a >SO annual tax stamp. The high tribunal broke the I log jam Monday by ruling 6 to 3 } the law is constitutional. Pending a full survey of district | attorneys’ office# across the nation, officials here were unable to say exactly how many gambling tax cases are now pending. -But they believed comparatively few of the 450 alleged violations reported by the bureau of internal revenue through last December had been acted upon. The gambling law grew out of the -country-wide hearings conducted by the senate crime committee headed by Sen. Estes Kefauvdr P-Tenn. A federal district court in Philadelphia had the law unconstitutional in a test case. Justice Stanley F. Reed, spokesman for the supreme court ma-' jority, brushed aside arguments congress was merely attemptin j through its taxing power to penalize an illegal state activity, thus depriving states of their police power. I “The jk’agering tax ... applies to all persensyngaged tn the business of receiving wagers regardless of whether such activity violates state law,” he said. * Reed also gave no weight to the argument that the registration provision# virfate the gambler's privilege against self-incrimination. He said the registrant isn’t confessing to acta already committed but is fulfilling certain conditions relating to the future. At the shine time, however, the court accepted for review a California case which poses this further question: May a state punish a garni bier under local law K he has bought his federal stamp? Arguments on this question will probably be scheduled for next month. The court •'Monday also: Ruled 6 to 8 that the “anti featherbedding” clause of the TaftHartley law does not forbid unions to negotiate “make work” contracts with employers K the unnecessary work is actually performed. Agreed to hear the appeal of Harry Bridges, west coast longshoremen's leader, convicted of

The Bible refers to Christ as “the Lamb *** of God which taketh away the sin of the JzC*"' world.” It speaks of His sacrifice cm the cross as being the payment for all sins "and not for ours only, / but also for the sins of the whole world."
