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.

Even the possibility that a hu
