[ the E W. Marland administration,
filial motions today asking the gov-
| erninrni to cive more detailed basis
for its charges against them for fed-
eral income tax evasion.

Incomes the government charges the

ing 1!»37 and 1938 Federal District
Judge Ediar 8. Vaught set hearing
on t he motions for 10 a. m. Tuesday.
Drake and Daniel were indicted
by a (cdeial grand jury eight days
ago for failure to make proper re-
turns on their incomes during the
last two years the late E. W. Mar-
lund was governor. Drake was Mar-
land's campaign manager and closest
political adviser. Daniel was house
speaker of the 16th legislature and
hii administration leader.
Early Trial Doubtful
The motions for bills of particu-
lars asked for substantiation of the
government allegations on the two
counts each brought against the
men. The move came during the ar-
raignment session before Judge
Vaught. Neither defendant made a
plea pending outcome of his mo-
tion.
ft seemed doubtful that Drake or
Daniel will come to trial before the
September tern; of rourt opens.
Counsel for both defendants Indi-
cated they would not be ready for
trial by June, the last month before
September In which a jury will be
available to bear the cases.
U. S Attorney Charles R. Dlerker
protested any "undue" delay, con-
tending that he believes "the de-
fendants are entitled to immediate
trial and the government. Is ready
to do Its part."
He admitted, however, that de-

Sam Hulbert. Canadian county
tax assessor, has authorized The
Tribune to announce his candidacy
for re-election to this office, sub-
ject to the action of the Demo-
cratic primary July 14.
The office of tax assessor. Mr.
Hulbert points out. Is one of ex-
treme importance, for it has to do
with the assessing of property
which finally determines the taxes
of the county, towns and schools.
Duties of the assessor have been
increased greatly in the past few
years by the addition of homestead
exemptions and the taxing of in-
tangible property. Despite this and
a big reduction in the clerk hire
of the assessor's office, Mr. Hul-
bert has. by working much at
nights, kept up the records in an
efficient manner. •
The election of a man to fill
the place of assessor should not
be taken lightly by the voters,
friends of Mr Hulbert declare.
Experience Is Cited
"Mr Hulbert Is thoroughly fam-
iliar with the duties of his office
and Is well fitted and qualified
to execute these important duties.
His experience and honest effort
are well known to many taxpayers,''
his friends point out.
Mr. Hulbert says he appreciates
the fine support he has received
In the past and adds that since
his duties as assessor require most
of his time he will be unable to
make personal contact with all the
voters before the election, as much
as he would be pleased to meet
them, but wishes to assure all that
their votes and active support in
the coming primary election will
be appreciated.
Mr. Hulbert has been residing in
Canadian county since 1889, when
his family moved here from Cald-
well, Kan., when he was only 6
months old.
Still “Lives On F'artn"
He was elected county assessor
in 1932, taking office in January
of 1933. He worked for the El
Reno Wholesale Grocery company
for 12 years before being elected
to office, and prior to that time
lie lived on the farm.
He still “lives on the farm," In
a manner of speaking, since he and
his wife maintain their home on
a five-acre tract southeast of town.
They are parents of two daughters.
Mrs. Mar Clarke of Independence.
Kan., and Mrs. J. R. Martin of
Niles, Ohio.
Mr. Hulbert Is well known among
Oklahoma tax assessors and now
is serving as president of the Sixth
District Tax Assessors association.
He also Is a member of the legis-
lative committee of the Oklahoma
Tax Assessors association.

11 Jap Ships Sunk
The Japanese naval force broke
off the great six-day battle In the
Coral sea after the powerful plane-
ship teams of the American forces
had sent 11 of the Mikado's ships to
the bottom and gravely damaged six
others. With the wreckage were
bodies of thousands of Japan's best
fighting men.
But the allies were not through, in
the words of a communique from
General Douglas MacArthur’s Aus-
tralian headquarters. "Our attacks
will continue.”
Japanese claims of sinking a U. S.
battleship and two aircraft carriers
were flatly denied by the navy de-
partment as well as MacArthur's
headquarters, which called them en-
tirely fictional and branded the
Japanese accounts as "fantastic."
Allied losses were described official-
ly as relatively light.
Enemy Could Rebound
For the moment, at least, Austia-
lia and its life-line to the United
States were secured and the initia-
tive still lay firmly in allied hands.
But the Japanese, enjoying num-
erical superiority and shorter com-
munication lines than the American
navy, still had deadly naval and air
forces clustered In the region of the
battle and might at any time recoil
