FOUGHT
Laurel Official Says
ItWouId Break All
In 8 Months

Legislation to legalize pari.mu-
tuel betting in Washington was
bitterly denounced before House
District subcommittee today.
Opposition to the bill was
voiced by civic and church groups
as well as by a Maryland race
track owner.
The opponents of the measure
attacked it as a proposition that
would take money out Of the
city, bring in an undesirable ele-
ment, and lower the moral stand
ards here.
"WOuld Break Everybody"
The first witness, Cy Cummings,
president of the Laurel track, told
the committee that operation Of a
track in the District would COM
pete with the Maryland tracks, but
asserted track here would break
everybody in the District in six
months"
He pointed out that there are
$50 days of racing provided in
Maryland. within one hours ride
of Washington.
Representative Vincent L. Pal.
misano CD of Maryland sug-
geSted:
'Tf your statement is true, as
to the fact that race tracks
break the people in the COM
munity, then l ought to recon-
mend that racing be abolished"
Cummings laughingly replied:
'If you 60 to Baltimore and
make that recommendation, you
and / will be tOgether-fishing
somewhere.
TALKS OF "BREAKAGE"
The Laurel track official pointed
out that. although a 10 per cent
"breakage" is allowed under the
pending bill. in reality the break
age would amount to 1913 per
cent, adding that it was this fea.
ture that would result in breaking
the bettors in a comparatively
short time.
He expressed DOUBT the District
would obtain a revenue of better
than $35000 a year, as claimed
yesterday by Walter O'Hara, who
hopes to reopen the Bennings
track.
He also challenged statements
by proponents of the bill yester
day that crowds coming here for
the races would provide consid
erable additional employment for
hotel and restaurant workers.
C. M. Clarke, a former news
paperman who said he "repre
sents the public" joined in op
posing the legalization of pari
mutuel betting at race tracks
here, asserting that the crowds
at the Maryland tracks have
dwindled considerably during the
past two years, and therefore it
is difficult to assume that a track
