Draft Chiefs
See No Lagging
WASHINGTON UP) Selec
tive service headquarters said here
it has no information to indicate
that registration under the new
draft act may be lagging, as has
been Indicated In some areas.
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.
