ON NUMBERS
URGED BY WOMEN

Asks Strengthening of
Gambling Ban.

Mrs. Horace J. Phelps, chairman,
department of legislation, District of
Columbia Federation of Women's
Clubs. after making a study Of pro-
posed legislation leveled at the num-
bers game, and reviewing existing
laws, is convinced that proposed
amendments to local gambling laws
are necessary.
"As long as there is difficulty in
enforcing the existing laws" Mrs.
Phelps states, "we-the Federation of
Women's Clubs-propose the neces-
ssry amendments"
In the meantime, Mrs Phelps says
new civic consciousness has been
awakened by The Star. the Washing
ton Post, the Herald and the Times
and radio stations in refusing to print
the totaled numbers from the race
tracks. on which the numbers racket
thriveS.
Commended for Aid.
In resolution adopted at its regu-
lar monthly meeting the Federation
of Women's Clubs "commends the
newspapers and broadcasting stations
of Washington for their cooperation
with the Police Department in check
ing the progress of the numbers
racket until prohibitive legislation
can be enacted. ."
In a second resolution adopted the
federation urges amendments to the
District of Columbia gambling laws
so as to cover the numbers game and
to make possession of material used
in the game of numbers prima facie
evidence"
Our opinion" Mrs Phelps goes on,
'is that the law at present, while it
may be evoked, leaves doubt in the
minds of many. and therefore should
be strengthened. AS long as that
doubt exists. the law will not be fully
effective. The lay men and lay women
of this city should study these pro-
posed amendments to the gambling
laws. to help put them on the statute
books The federation is back of such
a campaign"

James F. Donohue, president of
the Southeast Business Mems ASsocia-
ton, presented a resolution to the
Federation of Business Mems Associa-
tions, asking full support to the news
paper and police drive against the
numbers game. This group, with II
organizations. has now four full
pledges of support in the campaign.
The Petworth Citizens Association,

system known as the numbers game.

mously a resolution commencing the
