Complaints Heard. on Fa.
nous Gambling House
Near Capital.
APPEAL TO BE TAKEN
TO GOVERNOR ECT
Head of Berwyn District Repub-
lican Club Issues Statement.
County Affairs Separate.

"Jimmy's place." notorious gam
bling establishment on Bladensburg
road, may undergo a searching State
investigation after Gov.-elect Harry
w. Nice Of Maryland takes office in
January, 1t appeared today.
Nice announced he would 'look
into conditions there" II requested to
do so. and one of the prominent Re
publican leaders of Prince Georges
County predicted such a request
would be made.
Il think it highly likely that the
people will call for some action on
the part of the Governor, William A.
Duvall, president Of the Berwyn Dis
trict Republican Club, said. "A large
group here In Prince Georges has for
years been trying to determine how
far Jimmy's place influences politics
in the county.
1--WE have made innumerable ef-
forts to uncover the facts and close
The place through county authorities,
all without success"
Up to Counties.
Nice said concerning the matter:
Law enforcement is up to county
authorities and 1t is my conviction the
Governor should not interfere unless
requested to do SO by representative
citizens or the countys law enforce
ment officers themselves"
Nice said all he knew about alleged
gambling in Prince Georges County
was what he had read in the Crisfield
Md, Times. During the campaign he
charged the underworld was support
ing Gov Ritchie and promised en-
ergetic reform measures should he be
elected.
Support for the movement to tight
en- gambling laws in the District was
pledged late yesterday by Senator
Copeland OF New York. one Of the first
members of the District Committee to
return to Washington since the cleo
tions
The Senator said he favored giving
the gambling bill early consideration.
He described a similar measure intro
duced at the last session as a good
bill" which should have passed. The
bill died in the legislative jam pre-
ceding adjournment.
Senator Copeland headed q special
committee which studied crime condi-
tions throughout the country at the
last session and expects to sponsor
additional anti-crime legislation OF
national scope in January.
Plans Arms Registration,
One measure he plans to bring for
ward is bill to require the registra-
ton OF pistols and other types of
firearms and regulation of the sale
of ammunition to those registered as
owners of firearms.
The District Commissioners and
Corporation Counsel E. Barrett Pret-
lyman moved yesterday to enlist civic
organizations behind the drastic new
gambling bill, aimed particularly at
the numbers" racket Copies of the
proposed bill were sent out to civic
business and professional groups in an
effort to unity public opinion behind
the measure and win its adoption by
Congress.
The bill, among other things, would
provide a $1,000 fine. or three years
Imprisonment or both on conviction
as numbers" operator or agent.

BAN0NF0OT BALL
HIT BY CITY HEADS
Hazen Says Cancellations
Punish Students Not In
voIved in FracaS.

The action of the Board of Educa-
ton in approving cancellation of the
interhigh school foot ball series be-
cause of the fracas at the Western
Tech game November 2 drew caustic
comments today from some officials
at the District Building. most of which
were not for publication.
Commissioner Hazen did say, while
on the record, "Oh, pshaw! Why do
they have to do that?"
HaZen then hastened to say that
the problem was one for decision by
school authorities rather than the
Commissioners. but he indicated he
would have handled it in a different
way.
1T seems to me, if anyone is inter-
ested in my views" he said, that
the boys who started the fight and
others who got too rambunctious
should have been called on the carpet
given spanking and sent home for
a while Or they might have been
punished in some other way. But
why penalize the great numbers of the
school students who had nothing to
do with the scrap and yet are pen
allied because of the actions of a
few?
Il remember some fights that have
occurred at base ball games and yet
the spectators were not penalized by
having the series called of. I re-
member also the time when I was
younger when I ofhciated at foot
ball game and was chased from the
field when some interested parties
didn't like my decisions"
Commissioner Allen said: II have
nothing to say for publication on this
subject. If I did. some one surely
would investigate my scholastic record
and would find that once established
the record of finishing next to last in
a class of 178."

PAY RESTORATION
DRIVE IS HELPED
BY BORAH STAND
Added Impetus Given Move
to Effect Change in
January.
EXEMPTION OF HIGH
SALARIES is ADVOCATED
Federal Employees Begin Member
ship Drive to Strengthen
Forces for Fight.

Added impetus was seen today for
the move to restore Federal pay as of
January l as the result of the out
spoken declaration yesterday of Sem
ator Borah, Republican, of Idaho, in
favor of such action.
Organized employees, preparing to
to the basic salary scale Immediately
upon the convening of Congress, were
gratified at the stand of the Idaho
Senator, which is in line with that
of other members of the House and
Senate who have expressed them
selves on the issue.
Thus far no dissent has been reg
manning per cent of the cut early
in the next Congress, rather than
wait until July l, as proposed by
President Roosevelt, and there are
indications the President himself
would wage no fight against this step
if favored by the majority on the
Hill.
Wants Exemption.
"I am ready to restore the remain
ing per cent tomorrow, but I would
like to exempt high salaries" Borah
said. The Is per cent cut was dis
honest and hypocritical from the start
in view of the administration policy
to increase purchasing power.
Il should think the way they have
been distributing money in this cam
paign they would be willing to restore
the pay"
In proposing to exempt high SAL
aries" Senator Borah is back on
familiar ground, as in the last Con-
2reSs he sought to fix at $4,000 the
limit above which pay restoration
should not be applied This move got
nowhere, however, as, it was en-
phasized. it would result only in dis
elimination against those employees in
the upper brackets.
Member Drive.
Meanwhile, employees as a whole
publication of the budget figures for
the next year. 1t is understood that
the regular establishments are to be
held to just about the sums they are
operating on in the current twelve
month, but there are indications they
are to be held down as far as pos
sible.
In preparation for their campaign
for pay and other employment better
ments, the two white collar" employe
organizations are seeking to strength
en- their lines. Both the National Fed
GRAFTON of Federal Employees and the
American Federation of Government
