Justice Department Sets Campaign Against Illegal Gambling PAGE 14 Mond,'' JuB . 1K3 HERALD AND NBWI, KlMMl Wis, Or. WASHINGTON (UPI) - The, other day a woman stepped out of a telephone booth here and was arrested on charges of oper ating a numbers game netting about $1,000 a day. This is a fair ly common occurrence and is mentioned only because the ar rest was made in the lobby of the Bureau of Internal Revenue where she had been employed for 20 years. It is common knowledge that illegal gambling is rampant across the United States, and some persons In position to know put the annual turn-over at $50 billion. Attorney General KoDert F. Kennedy, armed with new powers from Congress and using advanced techniques, is waging; massive war against the gam blers. He believes that gambling rather than narcotics or prosti-j tution, for instance is the chief source of revenue for the Ameri can underworld. A small but vocal group of peo ple think Bobby Kennedy is wast ing his time, mey argue tnat tnc urge to gamble, the desire to get something for nothing is as basic! in human nature as hunger and the sex drive. On tbe principle that if you can't lick 'em, join 'cm, these people say the solu lion is for the federal government! to legalize gambling and drive the racketeers out of business. Some of these proposals will be examined in detail later. Fuel For Fire Such incidents as the woman's arrest are fuel for the fire of ad vocates of legalized gambling. How, they argue, are you going to stamp out gambling when an alleged numbers ring is operating inside tin citadel of the Amen can tax structure? They follow up by telling two stories, both fictional and both so heavily en crusted with the moss of time that doubtless you have heard them: A man Is losing steadily at roulette and a friend says to him: "Don't you know that rou lette wheel Is crooked?" The man replies: "Sure, but It's the only gam in town." A man about to enter a horse race track falls to his knees and utters this prayer: "O, Lord, please let me break even today My wife needs to have her ap pendix out. ' The point they are trying toin philosophical discussions about make, of course, if that nothingjthe gambling urge. The laws are is going to prevent gambling, on the books and he has sworn, This argument gets short shrilt to enforce the laws. In a recent at the Department of Justice, statement Kennedy explained Bonpy Kennedy is not interested what he was doing: the Department of Justice Jacoby On Bridge !

Today's hand is from the South eastern championships in Miami, Fla. It shows various lines of play ing the hand, Practically every South player holding today's hand wound up at two spades and West led the eight of hearts. South would be in dum my for the first and last time, would take his two heart tricks whiie he had the chance and dis card a club. Then the play went two ways. The conservative players would lead a spade right away and East would duck. A second round of spades would put East in and he would lead a high heart where upon South would discard anoth er club and from that point on there would be no way to keep South from making his contract. Greedy South players tried the diamond finesse and when the queen lost to West's king there was no way left to make the con tract unless the defense went crazy. West might lead back the ten of diamonds. South would take the trick and lead a high spade to East's ace. Then East would cash red cards until South decided to ruff in. If South railed high there! would be a natural trump trick for West. If South ruffed low West would ovcrruff, Learn the playing of the hand with your cony of "Win at Bridge; With Oswald Jacobv."

Increased Personnel "The number of attorneysl working in this section has been expanded about three times toi about 60. Each is assigned a spe cific part of the country and is responsible lor all grand juries and trials in his area. Steps also have been taken to instill a new spirit of co-operation among the 27 federal law enforcement agen cies. In criminal intelligence, for example, each agency previously kept its own separate Ides on un derworld figures. Now this ma- tcrial is being consolidated daily1 into special files of the organized I crime section, forming complete and up-to-date reports on some 1,500 big time racketeers. As a result, we have jailed racketeers who previously were able to elude punishment." Some of the big fish who have been snared in Kennedy's net arc Frankie Carbo, Blinky Palermo. Trigger Mike Coppola, Buster Wortman, Frankie Caruso and Kid Cann. Some were caught on income tax evasion and some on narcotics violations, but all of them knew their way very well along the Intricate network of gambling that runs through the underworld. If a man wants to be a profes sional gambler, he must buy a $50 wagering stamp, pay the fed eral government a tax of 10 per persons.
