By United Press ‘ WASHINGTON, Mar. 10—The| Justice Department turned on new pressure today in a drive to grab) evaders of millions in taxes on ‘wartime profits and gambling

cases which hit scores of persons in all of life, The campaign coincided with
an investigation by a House sub-|
committee to see if the Treasury's
Internal Revenue Bureau is get-
ting the results it claims against underworld characters who turn in “loose” returns on their big incomes. The Justice Department's most pressing cases involve 1944 incomes. They must be in the courts by Mar. 15 as. in ents or criminal complaints. On that day the statute of limitations would bar prosecution of 1044 evasions unless a case is before a court. This big push against persons with large incomes when war pumped. billions. into the national economy could-see high nenalties exacted against all kinds of of: fenders caught by the dragnet. The department let it he known it is not interested just in gam‘blers and the like, but also in socialites, professional men, businessmen and others who might have tried to get away with an evasion. Penalty for a false return calls for a maximum of five years in prison and $10,000 in fines. Besides, tax penalties can be levied in high percentages, for example $125,000 where the amount of. ‘evasion was $215,000. Last year, in.a 45-day period, «criminal prosecutions were begun ‘against 148 persons who evaded ‘more than $10 million in taxes.

" The ‘LaRue D., Carter Mental Screening Hospital will open here near the end of the year. It is a 250-bed institution to which the mentally unbalanced can be sent directly from the court for 60 days observation. If found in need of treatment they gan be kept there 120 days. Now functioning is the new Dr. Norman M. Beatty Memorial Hospital at Westville. An admission clause permits judges to order patients sent thete directly from the court. “If this proves successful, and we expect that it will, we will move to have every hospital in the state adopt this method and end forever the languishing in jails of people needing attention

Eight Hoosier cities today seemed headed for some 1951 eleetion headaches—hangovers from what the recent General As-

These cities are scheduled for change in classification as soon ¢,

How the readjustment will be|
made later is one of the problems. An enabling act—anticipating the change from third to second class status — could have been passed by the legislature. That would have made it possible to revise the cities’ precincts into six councilmanic districts instead of five before the primary, election. | Now, however, it is too late to make the change. And state laws| prevent any change in voting districts between the primary and general elections in the fall. i Four other cities—West Lafayette, Valparaiso, Washington and

Mrs. Mitten said that during the contest the Mitten family told neighbors that if they won the $500 prize they would take a trip to Florida.

Defense Production Swings Up Sharply * WASHINGTON, Mar. 10 (UP) ~—Production for defense took a sharp upward swing in January when the nation’s factories hired
