PAGE FOURTEEN THE BEND BULLETIN, BEND, OREGON THURSDAY, MARCH 16, 1950 Slot Machines in Australia Blamed on U. S. Gamblers Sydney, Australia U' Truth, a Sydney Sunday newspaper, asked: "Why subsidize Kansas City thugs from Sydney?" in criticiz ing authorities lor permitting slot machines in clubs. The newspaper alleged that "American gang headquarters" get a substantial rake-off from the machines. Clamoring for immediate con fiscation of the "one-armed ban dits," Truth wants the authorities to dump them in the ocean. "The plain fact is that the 'fol lower' the man who sinks his hard-earned cash in the rapacious maw of these contrivances has a better chance of showing a prof it when he invests a modicum on the greatest 'nohoper' 'that ever raced, or will race, on a norse or dog track," Truth declaiied. lust Like America It said that it wax the slot ma chine which laid the foundations of the "colossal" fortune of the "fabulous arch-American mobster Frank Costello." "In a word, a replica of the oc topus which is filching millions of dollars in cents, dimes and nickels from the workers in America is squeezing sixpences and shillings from their brethren here." Truth claimed it is an open se cret that many clubs' books could not be balanced were it not for the huge profits they reap from the machines. Clubs Exempted . Poker and fruit-symbol ma chines have been operated by non proprietary clubs, such as race clubs, ex-servicemen's clubs, golf clubs and others, for many years. The last occasion poker and fruit machines came up before -the government was in 1939, when it was decided no action would be taken as long as they were in private clubs. "The .government must act," clamored Truth, "until the scan dalous exploitation of those who can afford to lose nothing from their pay checks is rendered impossible." Teen-Age Smokers Fewer Under Plan Atlanta 'U'l Smoking at North Fulton high school was legalized and it cut smoking "drastically." Warren Jackson, principal, thought enforcing bans on smoking- by students would just make the situation worse. Students who smoked in the rest rooms would find secret plac es which would be more of a fire hazard, Jackson said. So he told the students that it would be all right to smoke but onlv in the concrete athletic sta dium. It would mean real trouble to be found smoking In the build ing or elsewhere on the grounds, he warned. Jackson followed that up with word to the teachers, to the' same effect. He felt that the students would leel he was more than fair if the faculty had the same restrictions. As a result. Jackson said, few er students are smoking and the building is not littered with ash es and bulls. He believes that smoking lost a lot of its glamour when it was moved out into the open.
