Ministers Ask
For Full-Time
Chaplain at Peii
Recommendation that the Ore

full-time chaplain was voted
Tuesday by 5-";:lcm Ministerial as
sociation. Thf group also directed
its special Bible in the schools
committee to contact individual
churches for cooperation and fi
nancial si p port in the propped
relcascd-time piogram of religious
education.
The recommendation for a chap
lain will be directed to the state
board of control. The association
heard discussion which included
statements that one or" more
chaplains should be available to
all the state institutions centered
in the Salem area. Questioned as
to the need, the Rev. O. Leonard
Jones, pastor of West Salem
Methodist church and now part
time Protestant; chaplain at the
prison, said that "unquestionably
j there should be a full-time rhap-
lain at the. penitentiary."

Customer Is
Always Right,
And Proves It
Measures to repeal the pari-mutuel betting system in Oregon and
legalize slot machine operation are expected to appear in the 1949
legislative session.
Both would be proposed constitutional amendments and would have
to be referred to the voters if passed in the legislature.
The slot machines, if legalized, would be operated under state super
vision with the state receiving not
less than 50 per cent of the gross
proceeds which would go into the
general fund for payment of gov
ernment expenses. The argument
was advanced that the state now
condones pari-mutuel wagering at
dog and horse races and there is
no valid reason why operation of
slot machines should not be per
mitted.
The state this year received ap
proximately $551,723.94 as its
share of pari-mutuel revenues.
Take Would be Large
No one here has ventured a
guess as to how much money
would be derived from the opera
tion of slot machines but it was
generally agreed that the state's
take would aggregate several mil
lion dollars annually. Fifty per
cent of the slot machine receipts
would go to the proprietors of
places in which the machines were
installed. Machinery regulating
operation of the slot machines
would be set up by the legislature
provided the voters gave their ap
proval. One hig'h ranking state official,
who emphasized he is opposed to
slot machine operation under any
condition, suggested that in case
they were legalized, the only
the indignant 1 penalty for violation of the regu-
it developed ! lations be confined to confiscation
Just about everyone but the In- '
dignant customer himself had de-I
cided he was the paser of a j
worthless check on a tavern keep-'
er outside city limits.
The woman proprietor who ac
cepted the check several months
ago identified the man as such
when he walked into her, tavern
as a customer Monday evening.
Deputy Sheriff William DeVall
thought the man fitted in every
detail a photograph in his file
under the name found on the
bad check.
The deputy called in a state
probation officer who greeted the
indignant tavern customer by the
name of the bad check passer.
Whe the customer again denied
implication, the probation officer
went to the home of the proba
tioner whose name was on the
bad check.
He found the probationer there

to an air force news release.
With Graber at his assigned

mer Ada Williams, and daughter !
Gloria. Graber served 16 months
in enforcing any state regulation
of slot machines. " this offical de
clared. "Taking a'way the pt iv ilege
of operating the machines would
be more serious."
Both constitutional amendments,
if referred to the voters by the
legislature, probably would de
velop strenuous opposition.
Included among opponents to
legalizing the machines would be 1 f:i
the present owners and distribu
tors. Operation of these machines
is now prohibited by the state con
stitution but in spite of this many
of the devices were reported to be
in operation in various parts of the
state.
Any attempt to do away with
pari-mutuel wagering also would
arouse serious protest. Receipts
from pari-mutuel wagering at
horse and dog races is now ap
portioned among the Oregon State
Fair, Pacific International Live
stock Exposition iind several other
Oregon shows with a substantial
part going into the state's general
fund. This year the general fund
received $215,723.94 of these re
ceipts. The pari-mutuels arexopeiated
under direction of the state rac
ing commission.
A number of legislators here this
week indicated they are satisfied
With the current pari-mutuel set
up but would oppose vigorouy
any attempt to legalize slot
machines.
"Legalizing slot machines." one
legislator said", "eventually would
mean the legalizing of many other
forms of gambling."
"We should let well enough
alone."
