Administration To Fight For Gaming Tax To Supreme Court
Washington May 7 officials who once opposed a federal tax on gamblers said they would press the case to the Supreme Court if needed.

Judge Welsh ruled the law requiring registration with the IRS and a $50 tax stamp unconstitutional on self incrimination grounds. An appeal was ordered by the Internal Revenue Commissioner.
