She is a colored woman. Plump. lish, attractive and well spoken in | dreamy, little girl sort of voice. | Nickname: “Dimples.”” Occupa- tion: ‘‘Barmaid,” she said, not without pride. It never was made cear whether she is married. Dimples told her story on tele | vision Wednesday. The scene was a crowded room in which the Sen- ate’s District of Columbia Commit- \tee was trying to find out whether | jthe numbers operators and other | leeches that infest your capital | have been paying off the cops, and | if so how much. | And Dimples Hall, a star wit- | ness, owned up to having some | inside information. From 1945 to 1950, she said, she | maintained a home on Georgia | Avenue, here in Washington. And in that home, she said, one Roger (Whitetop) Simkins operated a “numbers business.” A_ thriving one, too, Dimples said, with a take ranging up to $8,000 a day. “This was in your home?” asked the committee’s counsel, Arnold Bauman. “Yes, sir,’ Dimples Hall said matter of factly. She went on to give a few detai's of her home life in that period: Adding machines, needed to keep track of the money that flowed in, were part of the furnishings. The money? Oh, they just left that on the dining room table. And visitors to her home, Dim- | ples Hall said, included policemen | —sometimes in uniforms, some. | times not. “You realize that you were in an illegal enterprise,’ Bauman said. “Did it give you any concern when these officers came in?” | Dimples Hall said she felt “a little leery” at first, until Simkins | told her not to fret about it. Why wasn’t she arrested? She had a little memory trouble at that poinj but finally remembered. Simkins | she said, told her he was paying the police for “protection.” “What was his term for Bauman asked. ““Ice,’’’ said Dimples Hall, dimp- ling. How much “ice”? Dimples Hall said she didn’t know for sure. She'd heard, though, that all the big numbers operators paid off ‘‘in the hundreds.” There was quite a staff employed in the “numbers business” at her home, Dimples Hall said—a man called “Jack the Bear,” another called “Chee Chee Charlie,” vari- ous” others. Sen. Hunt (D.-Wyo.), who was presiding, took a hand inthe ques- tioning. Did these peopie, he want- ed to know, report for work in the morning and go home in the even- ing, like employes of any firm? That's just what they did, Dimp- les Hall said. “How long,” inquired the sena- tor, “did Simkins stay at your house each day?” Dimples Hall looked surprised. “Why, at that particular time,” she said, “he stayed as long as he wanted to. He was my boy friend.” Simkins took the stand himself a little later. On the ground that it might incriminate him, he said, he wasn’t going to answer ques- tions about anybody he might have known.

Prime consideration in the sur- vey is given to the chemical char- acteristics of more than 1,900 samples of water taken from riv- ers, lakes, spring$ and municipal supplies. Dr. Black and Brown also col- lected considerable information on , Florida's fresh water resources as they affect agriculture, industria! ‘and city planning. } They found that because of in- | creased knowledge of agriculture | in the use of power machinery and jirrigation for drought, much of | Florida's water supply is being | reused daily, resulting in a chemi- jcal change in the water.
