Col. Irving Hart, public rela tion officer, said in response to questions that national headquar ters will have no figures on the registration before next week. States are due to report following the -end of registration of 18 through 23-year-olds. There have been reports from Oregon that registration was lag ging in that state. Multnomah County, Including Portland, re ported only 10,160 registrations, or about one-half the expected num ber last week. The draft act provides a maxi mum penalty of five years im prisonment and $10,000 fine for failure to register. Hart said selective service head quarters probably will recommend that local boards report registra tion failures to federal district at torneys If they have not already done so. Showdown Seen Over Gambling URIAH, Calif. (IP) The state attorney general and the chairman of the state crime commission, spurred on by California's acting governor, appear headed for a showdown over gambling. Controversy developed in the wake of a Mendocino County grand Jury indictment naming six men In an alleged slot machine protection conspiracy. Agent Resigned One of the six was Wiley H. (Buck) Caddel, 48, former Los Angeles policeman who recently resigned as special agent for At torney General Fred N. Howser. Acting Gov. Goodwin J. Knight in Sacramento said If he were the attorney general he would call for a showdown with Admiral W. H. Standley, USN (ret.), who heads the crime commission. The crime commission previous ly has accused the attorney gen eral's office of efforts to under mine its gambling investigation. "In Accord" Howser's office In Los Angeles issued a statement over Howser's name saying: "I am entirely In accord with Acting Gov. Knight's statement . . . that there should be a showdown. If the admiral be lieves he has justifiable grounds for charging any actual member of the attorney general office with improper conduct he should make the facts known." Caddel ' is charged with five counts involving bribery and con spiracy to violate gambling laws.
