Goldberg an nounced today that the number of employed rose abow. half a mil linn more than expected In May. He said this indicated "a con t i n u e d improvement In the economy." Action may be connected with recall By Bill Thompson Bulletin Staff Writer The closing down of pinball games and card playing in Bend establishments, which may be in directly connected with a recall movement against four city com missioners, was reported tins week. Attorney General Robert Y. Thornton said in Salem today that he had received a complaint from a local citizen concerning gambling in Bend specifically card games and pinball machines. Card tables and pinball ma chines are licensed by the city, although gambling is held illegal. Thornton said he contacted Deschutes County District At torney Louis Selken immediately to inform him of the "problem." Thornton said this is routine in cases ot complaints. He added that, under a recent court deci sion, his office has no authority to make any kind of investiga tion without the governor's permission. Speculation Noted There was general speculation that the original complaint to the district attorney's office was prompted by the current recall movement against four city commissioners. Selken said the card games and pinball machines are illegal and have been, although just play ing a game of cards is not. 'The crux of the thing is tnat when the city licenses these card tables and pinball machines, they are putting the tools to gamble into people s hands, Selken said. 'I'm eoing to do everything In my power to keep gambling down. not only in Bend, but in uie rest of Deschutes County as wen. Selken said the problem is that both the county and city enforce ment officers are too well Known in this area to catch the gamb ling. He hinted that he may use unknown persons in an attempt to get strong cases. Meanwhile. Bend city manager Walter T. Thompson said he had received numerous calls this morning from owners of estab lishments where pinball macnines and card tables are licensed. Thompson said that licensing of pinball machines and card tables is a City Commission matter, and that licensing will continue until further action by the Commis sion. Pinball machines, he said, are licensed by the city, state and federal government, while card tables are licensed by the city. Both may operate, he said, pro viding there is no gambling. Could Revoke License "If an establishment is found guilty of permitting gambling, the city will take action by revoking that establishment's license," Thompson said. In May 1959, Selken had re auested Bend City Commission ers to establish an ordinance pro hibiting card tables and card rooms within the city of Bend The ordinance passed the first reading May 20, 1959, and was scheduled for final reading at the June 3, 1959, Commission meet- inc. But the ordinance went down thn drain at that session when commissioners completely ignor ed the measure. Selken was in attendance at the three hour meeting, but at no point was ne called upon to explain me oroi nance. . . At the same time Selken had reniiested other Deschutes Coun ty communities, specifically Red mond iinrt sisters. 10 lane sumiai action In drawing up anti-card table ordinances. There was no action on his request Recall Meet Planned Just how all this connects with (he recall movement against com missioners Paul Reasoner, E. L. Nielsen, Rirhard Carlson and Wil liam E. Mi er s not clear. Rut a hieh official, who asked not to be named, said he believed that the original complaint made to Thornton was made by a cm zen who disagreed with the recall movement. The group pushing the recall has called for a special meeting nm. davlight time Fnnay tn the circuit court room of the Des chutes County court house for the purpose of giving all residents a chance to sign petitions and to recruit door-to-door canvassers.

Memorial Day tribute is paid to war dead Reservoir fills to overflowing Special to The Bulletin PRINEVILLE The Ochoco reservoir filled and finally over flowed this week. A moderate trickle of water was running over the spillway and into Ochoco creek by Tuesday morning, ac companied by the excited com ment of nearby residents who had not seen this phenomenon In a number of years.
