Thomas H. Garrison, who has been

work in Prince Georges County, Md,
for 40 years, today retired from the
slot machine business. which has
been placed under court ban, and
announced his intention of driving

he would swear out warrants for

Bowie Ordered Removal,
A Circuit Court Judge at Upper
Marlboro several months ago termed
Prince Georges County the likely
place for gamblers and racketeers to
come now that Washington has
tlghtened up on its gaming laws.
Later the Maryland Court of Ap-
peals ruled slot machines illegal and
two weeks ago the grand jury de-
manded removal of all machines in
the county. States Attorney Allan
Bowie ordered the removal to begin
by midnight of last Monday, but, al
though police have received the
formal orders, apparently not a
single machine has been disturbed

One explanation offered by police
for their failure to enforce the
mandates of the grand jury and the
States attorney is that they have
not seen any machines in operation.
