"Complacent Attitude" of Dis

Chairman Gibson of the special House

Theater Monday night for the relief of
the families of four gamblers who went

Mr.. Gibson believes that this so-called

cations also Is convinced that there is
an underworld In Washington which
should be cleaned up. He also attacked
what he described as the complacent
attitude of the Police Department and
District officials

Because he believes that the situation
is not one primarily to be cured by
radical legislation and is convinced that
there Is small chance for any controyer-

ent session of Congress. the Gibson sub
committee report. which will disclose
some startling facts regarding the un-
derworld of the Capital, will not be
made until near the close of the pres
ent session. he said.
Much remedial legislation, such as
the revision of the license laws. Mr..
Gibson feels, should be enacted into law
as soon as possible, but as there is some
controversy over each piece of this pro-
posed corrective legislation, chances are
that none will be passed at this session
