REMIND YOU OF SOMEONE? Looking like you know
Who, former President Harry S. Truman even had cande
labras on his piano before he and Mrs. Truman appeared
on CBS' "Person to Person" show from their Independence,
Mo. home. 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.
COIN DECIDES WINNER
Azusa, Calif. U.R) Charles
Kuchar and Vladimir Vaskov
each received 41 votes in a
school board election. They de
cided the winner by flipping a
coin. Vaskov won.
