However, when the show, which was handled by daughter, Margaret, appeared on the air, the candela bras were gone. Maybe Harry didn't want you to know who to worry. Report on Art of Crooked Gambling in Vienna Drawn Vienna (U.R) A retired po lice inspector and a professional magician have published a 150 page, report on the art of crook ed gambling as practiced in Vienna card rooms. Their find ings can be summed up in a sen tence: "If you want a guarantee against being cheated, don't play." Some 5,000 Vienna cafes and bars are licensed for card gam bling. Former Inspector Ernst Sprung and his magician collab orator, A. Allen, estimate that 30,000 Viennese sharpsters make a crooked living at the tables. Things have reached the point, they say, where crooks prey upon crooks. In such games, all players know trickery is afoot and try to outmatch each other in skulduggery. The crook with the craftiest technique wins. Sun Treatment A smoldering cigaret, a smile, the clearing of a throat these or any of -1,000 other seeming commonplaces may be the gim mick that takes the pot. Sprung and Allen say the pur pose of their book, titled "Luck Adjusted," is to reveal vari ous forms of trickery and try to show the amateur how helpless he is against experienced card sharps. The Sprung-Allen book de scribes a long list of sleight-of-hand tricks, including old fash ioned card-up-sleeve devices, and illustrates them with photo graphs. It demonstrates how the backs of cards can be "read" by the crooks through scores of mark ing methods some as subtle as the delicate nick of a fingernail on the edge of a card. One gambler even used the sun to mark his cards by put ting them outdoors for varying degrees of bleaching. Sprung and Allen warn par ticularly against two kinds of cards in common use in Europe, the "Scotch" and the '.'Light ning," so named because their backs are decorated with Scotch tartans and lightning flashes. These types are more easily tampered with than most, they claim. The book also describes a number of gambling gadgets the inspector and the magician en countered during the years they prowled gaming haunts in the search of evidence. One pipe smoking crook had a tiny mirror built into his pipe, for instance Colored spectacles have been put to many shady purposes. Sprung and Allen say that of all crooked gaming practices, the hardest to detect and beat are signals. A cigarette that droops from one corner of a player's mouth may signal spades. A cas ual pluck at a kibitzer's lapel could mean the ace of hearts. A finger bent a certain way might meanything its owner intended it to. "Gamblers ring an infinity of changes on the language of sig nals," Sprung said. "And if they are good at their game, there is absolutely no way to detect them." Liquor Law Found Unconstitutional St. Paul (U.R) Minnesota's first prohibition law was inval idated because it had been ap proved by the people. The State Historical Society, in a review of temperance fights, reported that the state's first prohibition law was voted by the legislature in 1852 and sub mitted to the people for a pop ular vote. It was approved April 5, 1852, by a vote of 853 to 662. A short time later two "boot leggers" were arrested for sale of liquor. They appealed their convictions and the law was de clared unconstitutional. The judge ruled that the pow er for making laws rested with the legislature and the governor and that the requirements for a popular referendum on the pro hibition act invalidated it.
