JACKSONVILLE, Fla, November
28.-Slot machines-the lever devices
with spinning reels and jackpots-are
illegal in nearly every State in the
Union, but a survey showed today
they are generally tolerated.
The last Florida Legislature placed
a legalizing tax on the machines and
the State Supreme Court upheld the
tax law. But authorities in several
sections assert the constitutional pro-
hibition against lotteries is violated
and are seeking test case.
One State-Nevada-has no prob

In only five States are widespread
activities reported against them. Four
others show occasional State wide

and the rest keep legal eyes closed
Delaware holds the devices to be
Illegal and reported none in open
operation. Pennsylvania State police
are cleaning up the devices in rural
centers and at crossroads stores.
The dynamite assassination of
County Attorney Elmon Middleton at
Harlan, KY, last Summer was attrib-
uted by county officials to his drive
against slot machines, and a cleanup
was ordered. But many other COM
munities sanction them.
In Iowa the attorney general, his
first assistant and two score other
persons are under indictment on
charges that they conspired to permit
gambling devices (slot machineS) to
be operated.
Threats on Pastor and Wife.
A minister and his wife began an
attack in Kansas City recently, but
said they received death threats. She
left town for time and the minister
announced his crusade had ended.
Slot machines were outlawed In Col
orado this year after a sensational
gambling trust" investigation.
Operators attached brakes in Ore
gon and said the devices thus became
games Of skill" Prosecutors termed
this a subterfuge and the machines
were confiscated.
Alabama imposed tax on all types
of slot machines. but the law states
the tax is not to be construed as legal
izing them. Half of the money in a
seized machine Is given to the officer
making the seizure, the other half to
the county's general fund.

IL Ia to be assumed. OF course. that all Valley civic
and commercial organizations have registered their
indignation and emphatic protests against the ar
guments advanced BY Corpus Christi Robstown in
terests over the putting into effect on the SOth Of this
month Of the lower freight rates for which this Sec
ton has strived so long.
Hard though it Is to understand the motives be-
hind this protest delivered without warning from the
upper area, and hard though it Is to find q ~justiica-
ton for such q protest, nevertheless the Valley must
be on les guard TO protect the advantage won and to
insure that the new rates viii go into effect this
season as planned by the railroads which granted
them.
Although represented at the Interstate Commerce
commission hearing at Austin. when the entire ques-
ton Of the lowered rates was thoroughly gone into.
md although the reduced rates were thereafter APP
proved by q unanimous vote OF the Interstate Com
raerce commission. some unidentified interests have
gone to the bat once more in an effort to prevent
the Valley growers Of vegetables from enjoying rates
that viii mean the difference between a profit and
q loss on their paintings.
The crime Of the whole thing Is that this Corpus
Christi protest may result In a suspension Of the
lower rates until the matter Is threshed out again.
even though the lower rates win out in the end To
the man on the outside it looks as if somebody is
making a deliberate effort. not to win out and keep
the Valley forever buried under a high vegetable
freight rate schedule. but to put off the lower rates
for Just one more season.
Taking into consideration the Austin hearing at
which Corpus -Robstown was represented and
presented its side Of the story, and the unanimous
vote Of the Interstate Commerce commission In favor
Of the lower rates. it appears that any protest at
this time viii be hopeless. But the protest may re-
suit In holding up their application for an indefinite
period.
The Valley section should press vigorously. using
all available means, TO see to II that q decision on
this protest is given immediately. that the new rates

Costly Entertainment

On the surface the activities Of the social lobby"
in Washington, as outlined before the Senate COM
mittee by Bernard r. Robinson, we're harmless
enough. A government official. from q congressman
on up. surely has the right to relax at parties and
~banquets in his off hours; II the parties and ban
quets are given by men who have large blunt axes
that need grinding. where IL the harm, providing that
all the rules OF honorable conduct are cbserved2
Unfortunately. however. the influence Of such a
lobby goes below the surface No one supposes that
a lobbyist gets q congressman or q department exc
cutive off IN a corner. hands him a sheaf OF bills and
issues orders. The thing is infinitely more subtle.
You can imbibe q point Of view along with q cock
tail. II the thing Is handled right, and not realize
that you are imbibing It.
In accepting any entertainment, al government
officials should realize that their position Is an ex-
tremely delicate one. Like Caesars wife they must
be above suspicion - or their usefulness ends.

This letter is the typical reaction Of the uniformed
citizen to the propaganda now being spread BY ad-
vocates Of whole wheat, as opposed to those Of
white flour.
There Is something to be said on both sides Of the
question. The average American likes white bread.
The average European Of peasant stock, who has
not had white bread az home. has to set used to white
bread here.
II you eat q well-balanced diet with plenty Of fresh
fruits and vegetables. milk, meats, and other sub
stances. you can do about as well with white bread
as with whole wheat bread. II. however, you live on
q diet largely OF bread and water. or bread and cof-
fee. or bread and tea, you should have whole wheat
bread. because It wiz provide ingredients not pres
ent In white flour.
White flour shows g much lower vitamin content
than whole wheat. and Is also a less efficient protein
mixture. But white flour proteins are sufficiently
supplemented by the proteins OF milk. II milk Is
used in place OF water In making bread. the nutri-
tive value Of the bread Is greatly improved. Whole
grains have been found superior TO white flour when
fed to animals. as measured by the ability OF the ami
NAL to reproduce and nurse its young.
A mixture Of five parts by weight Of ground whole
wheat and one part Of whole milk powder permitted
normal growth and successful reproduction and rear
ing Of the young by rats. while q corresponding mix
ture Of white flour and whole milk powder gave IA
vorable comparable results In growth. but was not
adequate for successful reproduction and nursing Of
the young.
Whole grain products are not 90 well digested as
white flour. but are more nutritious. and many au-
thorities believe that the difference In completeness
Of digestion Is more than compensated by superior
ity OF the whole wheat In It's mineral and vitamin
content and In quality OF It's protetns.
OF the mineral elements lost in the manufacture Of
white flour. iron can be least well spared. The outer
coats Of the grains contain most OF the mineral mat
ter.
II but q small amount OF money is available for the
purpose Of food. bread made from whole wheat would
seem TO be most desirable, because Of the extra ma
terials that It furnishes.
II you prefer white bread. however, and II you
can be assured that you are getting the necessary
minerals and vitamins from the other Ingredients In
your food. there Is no reason why you should take
whole wheat bread.
