pected to submit to arrest today in
order to test the county's right to

States Attorney Alan Bowie or
dered all machines removed before

county, police said.
More than 100 operators and tav-
ern keepers have formed themselves
into a businessman's association to
fight the removal Of the machines,
a move recommended by the county
grand jury.

licenses have been issued for the
slot machines, that they are oper-
ated under permits obtained for
music boxes and pinball machines.
The coin devices were outlawed
by the Maryland Court of Appeals
in a decision rendered about two
months ago. No move to bar them
was made by Prince Georges officials
until the grand jury acted.

losophy was deep enough to threaten
a cabinet breakup.
Daladier was seeking every means
to restore a measure of harmony, for
decree powers he now holds are ef-
fective for only two more weeks
Should he be forced to remake his
cabinet the time would be almost
too short to permit drafting a plan
to deal with the pressing financial
problems.
The magnitude of these problems
overshadowed French pleasure at
the decision by Italy to name new
Ambassador to France.
Political sources expected Raffaele
