In the debate preceding the unani-

gambling drive by police in the down.

these gamblers settling in the Columbia
Garden T-Shop murder. the seizure of

to protect citizens in their constitutional
rights.
The committee shall be authorized
to act in its discretion when private
rights or public interests appear to
suffer serious invasion in violation of
lev or of an overwhelming sentiment;
and that the committee or it's repre-
sentatives shall be authorized to appear
before municipal, State or Federal offi-

ed at the Liberty theatre Thurs
day, April z. The play, a comedy
by Harry Deli, portrays typical
American family. Joe Heller, the
father, supports his family fairly
comfortably on the $42.50 he earns
each week, primarily because his
wife is a good manager. Mrs. Hell
ler's ruling passion is to get her
daughter, Louise, married and she
makes the home life of all of them
more or less miserable because she
never talks or thinks of anything
else. Her efforts along this line
