Fred W. Johnson, 74, Dies;
First Director of Land Bureau
Fred W. Johnson. 74. the lest
man to serve as commissioner of
the General land Office and the
first to become Director of the
Bureau of Land Management,
died last night at his home In the
Chastteton, 1701 Sixteenth street
N.W.
Mr. Johnson spent nearly 18
years in the Interior Depart
ment. He came to Washington
with that agency in 1933 with
a farm, legal and political back
ground.
He was bom in Green River,
Wyo. Mr. Johnson grew up on a
Nebraska farm. He was a man
who still rolled his own cigar
ettes, Western fashion, even
after 22 years in Washington.
Attended Alexandria School
He was graduated from Epis
copal High School In Alexandria.
Va., In 1900 and spent a year at
the University of Virginia. While
working for his AJJ. and law
degrees at the University of Ne
braska he worked summers In
the Nebraska, harvest fields.
Afterwards he practiced law In
Rock Springs, Wyo., becoming
a member of the State Board of
Law Examiners, county and city
attorney. In 1928 he was Western
regional director of the Demo
cratic National Committee. Salt
Lake City, Utah. As regional di
rector of the eight Rocky Moun
tain States, he backed Alfred E.
Smith in his race for the presi
dency. He piled up some ma
jorities for Franklin D. Roose
velt in the 1932 campaign. At
one time he was director of the
Association Against the Prohi

Anthony Stralla, 'Admiral'
Os Prewar Gambling Ship
LAS VEGAS. Nex.. Aug. 1 UP).
—Anthony Coroero Stralla, ex
bootlegger and prewar gambling
ship ‘'admiral.” dropped dead of
a heart attack yesterday while
shooting craps at a plush casino
hotel.
Even In death, Strslla—better
known as Tony Comero—re
mained a controversial figure.
Deputy Coroner Bud Bode 11 said
he will investigate what he
termed concealment of the gam
bler’s death.
Mr. Bodell declared Stralla
“was dead before he hit the
floor” at the Desert Inn dice
table, but that the coroner's of
fice was not notified until al
most four hours later.
Stralla, 54, was in Las Vegas
awaiting the opening of his $6
million resort hotel. Stardust.
A witness said the gambler had
dropped about SIO,OOO in the
dice game and suffered a heart
seizure after engaging in an ar- ,
gument with a croupier.
Stralla was said to have made :
81 million before he was 30 as
a bootlegger, but in 1929 he was ;
convicted of bootlegging liquor,
and sentenced to two years in :
McNeil Island (Wash.) peniten
tiary.
He later gained control of
gambling ships that anchored
off the Southern California
coast and shuttled customers to
and fro in water taxis.
In 1939 Earl Warren, then
State attorney general and now
Chief Justice of the United
States, vowed to “sink” the
gambling fleet.
The ensuing battle featured
bitter courtroom disputes .and
water hose fights between
Stralla’s “sailors” and Coast
Guardmen.
The acclaim Mr. Warren re
ceived from curbing the gam
bling fleet was a factor in his
subsequent election as Califor
nia Governor.
Stralla made another try with
a nautical casino in 1946. This
time the Federal Government'
locked up his converted mine
layer Lux and it was eventually
scrapped.
After that Strglla turned to
legitimate shipping and oper- I

Bill Making D. C.
Tax Area Is Ignored
Among the bills apparently
ignored at this session of Con
gress is one which would have
created a Federal internal reve
nue district consisting solely of
the District of Columbia.
Senator Langer, Republican of
North Dakota, proposed last
March that such a revenue dis
trict be established. His meas
ure was referred to the Senate
Finance Committee, which failed
to take action.
The District is now a part of
the revenue region which has
headquarters in Baltimore. Wash
ington lawyers were eager to
have the legislation enacted be
cause of cost and time factors
involved In trying tax cases in
Baltimore.

Industry Denies
Abnormal Jam
Os Unsold Cars
DETROIT, Aug. 1 (A s ).—Auto
industry spokesmen today viewed
aa groundless a Senate Inter
state Commerce subcommittee’s
concern over the backlong of
unsold new automobiles and
dealer mortality.
The Senate group said yester
day it was “greatly concerned”
over the “record number” of un
sold new models on the market.
It added that many new car
dealers are “in economic diffi
culties.”
Spokesmen for General Mo
tors. Ford, Chrysler, American
Motors and Studebaker-Paekard,
however,, denied there was an
abnormal jam of unsold cars or
that the financial position of
dealers was anything but strong.
Inventories, they said, are below
what they should be at the cur
rent sales volume.
Profits Cited
“When you are doing the
business that dealers are doing
in this record sales year, lt Is
demanding that the inventory
be higher.” said a Studebaker-
Paekard spokesman. “Our deal
er profit margin Is the best in
years.”
A GM representative described
the current market as “healthy,
competitive . . and rather a
good one for the customer.”
He said GM dealer turnover
was especially low for the first
six months of 1955 and unsold
cars were below normal, per
centagewise.
Chrysler took the same stand
saying, “Our dealers are mak
ing profits and their stocks are
barely adequate In the present
market.”
“Ford is happy, the dealers
are jubilant, the buyers over
joyed," declared a Ford spokes
man. “It seems like the only
unhappiness is among com
mittee members.”
American Motors found “noth
ing wrong with the auto market
that a bit of astute merchandis
ing technique for the individual
dealers won’t cure. This is a
free-for-all market and the
healthy will survive,” a spokes
man at American stated.
To Watch Market
The subcommittee is looking
into auto market practices. It
said it "intends to watch the
automobile, market situation
closely in the critical months
ahead during the model change
over period.”
The group also said it had
been laying the foundation for
possible legislative recommen
dations. But it added it has Been
progressing warily because “the
manufacture and distribution of
automobiles is probably the most
important single industry In the
economy of the United States."
The subcommittee also has
been inquiring into reports of
so-called auto bootlegging prac
tices and allegations of phan
tom freight charges on cars.

Nudist-Peeping
Plane Crashes
LUPIN LODGE. Calif.. Aug. 1
UP)— Two airmen wrecked their
light plane near here yesterday
after skimming the treetops of
a nudist camp.
Members of the Western Sun
bathers Association said the
plane flew down the canyon
where their lodge is located while
they were playing volleyball. It
made a few tight turns, they
said, and headed into a canyon
with very steep walls.
Not long afterward the pilot
and a passenger showed up at
the nudist camp. The pilot said
he had stalled the ship into
some trees when he saw he
couldn't clear the canyon walls.
He said the plane was not badly
damaged.
The flyers, whose names were
not available, were taken to a
nearby hospital for treatment of
minor injuries.
