ALL PIN-CAME
MACHINES ARE
PUT UNDER BAN
Judge MascOIO Renders
Decision That Put Them
Out of Business

Virtually every pin-game ma
chine in Waterbury was outlawed
this morning as Judge Edward
Mascolo, ruling in an important
test case in city court held that the
devices are operated in violation of
the statutes and constitute gamb-
ling machines when free plays are
offered as prizes for winning scores
After making the ruling and i'm
posing fine on a restaurant keep
er in whose esta blishment one of
the bagatelle games was seized by
the vice squad July 2Sth, the Judge
asked that news of his ruling be
transmitted to the police depart
ment and that the machines be
cleaned out" of the city. In
formed of the judges decision a
few minutes later by The Demo-
crat, Police Superintendent Joseph
II. Mclean promised the full CO.
operation" of the department in
Kidding the city of the devices.
Many Machines Affected
Judge Mascolo's decision affects
at least several hundred pin-game
machines in the city, almost all of
which are licensed under a city
ordinance permitting the operation
of vending machines. Official fig
ures as to the machines licensed
by the police department here were
not available this morning, but
Superintendent Mclean said that
licenses have been given to con-
siderably more than 800 of the de-
vices.
II have no doubt that this Is
a gambling machine" declared
Judge Mascolo after he had heard
testimony and examined the ma

London, August 16-UP)-Italy
intends to attack Ethiopia on two
fronts during the first week in Oc-
tober and will be prepared for a
four-year campaign, according to
expert military opinion.
Italy will have the finest military
equipment ever used in war. Ethi-
opia will have in it's favor formid-
able mountain barriers and wild,
'steaming, disease ridden lowlands.
Information in the hands of the
British military intelligence Is that
Italian military leaders themselves
believe 1t will take four years to
completely conquer the country.
That it can. be conquered, there
seems no doubt - but at great
cost in blood and money.
British Experts Believe IL
Whatever the outcome of war,
British experts are now convinced
that the Italians will launch their
big scale military offensive during
the first week of october.
The estimate Of time Is reached
by the experts on the convection
that the Italians will wait for be-
tween two and three weeks after
the rains-which started full force
in June--have begun to subside.
The Italians are expected to at
tack almost simultaneously from
Eritrea, their northern colony,

Washington, Aug. 16 - (U.P)-
Adjournment of congress neared
to-day with the record breaking,
two days passage of the tax-the-
rich bill by the senate. The eight
month old session, marked by
much bitterly disputed legislation
probably will end next week.
With the presidents $25O.O0O,-

hands of friendly conferees. major
obstacles to adjournment were half
dozen bills yet to be reported
out of conference.
The senate broke all records for
speedy consideration of a revenue
measure. After two days of de-
bate 1t passed the tax bill 81 to
20 last night before half-filled gal
leries and an apathetic assemblage
of senators.
Adjourn Next Week
New Deal leaders set adjourn
ment before the end of next week
as their goal. Senate Majority
Leader Joseph T. Robinson said
he believed adjournment could be
reached by Thursday, possibly be-
fore.
