Knight Urges Yes on 5 to Boost California Ships

In San Francisco Gay Goodwin J Knight told a banquet that voting yes on Proposition 5 is necessary to keep California in the forefront of maritime states. He noted Prop 3 reaffirms a 40 year old law taxing ships from local property taxes and that the present law expires next year. He said his administration aims to revive shipbuilding by securing more work and cited a committee that helped win two destroyer escort contracts at Bethlehem yard in San Francisco.

California seeks about 350 000 to 360 000 in delinquent taxes from pinball operators tied to illegal games with cash payouts. State Controller Robert Kirkwood says a 1951 law bars deductions on income from legal gambling, while Franchises Tax Board investigator Heberd Smith notes a gross income of eight million dollars from 1961 to 1953. Most operators are small, a few are large, and many have not paid. Delinquency assessments may reach as high as half a million dollars as the probe continues and some operators consider court challenges.
