Senator Minton, speaking over
national radio chain, said Mr.. Gam

propagandists," Senator Minton said.
Don't let Mr.. Gannett or DR.. Runely
tell you what to do. They
are trying to destroy President Roose-

they hide and conceal?'

the misleading propaganda sent out
by his committee"

FLORIDA GOVERNOR
ORDERS LID DOWN
But at Least Two Places
Open for Gambling at
Miami.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MIAMI, Fla. March 26.-Florida's
Gold Coast" gamblers were in an
uncertain situation tonight as result
of an order by Gov. Fred P. Cone to
clamp on the lid, but, with the tourist
season waning, little public interest
was manifest.
Gov, Cone sent instructions recently
to sheriffs Of Dade, Palm Beach and
BroWard Counties to close gambling
places and announced in Tallahassee
today that all three replied they had
done so.
The Miami Herald said, however,
that two large gambling resorts on
the hayfront here which had been
operating all winter ran wide open
last night and planned to continue
tonight. Sheriff D. c. Coleman de-
clined to comment.
Lavish Gaming Room.
One Of these places was a leading
night club with famous orchestra
and prominent Broadway stars in its
floor show The club operated a lav-
ishly appointed gaming room in one
wing for roulette, dice and other
games The other was casino in a
building formerly occupied by a night
club where bingo was the chief attrac-
ton and which catered to less wealthy
players.
In Broward County Sheriff Walter
Clark closed all gambling places. in
Guiding bingo game in Fort Lauder
dale licensed by the city, but no
arrests were made. One of the closed
resorts huge casino at Hallandale
on the Dade County line, had been
the talk of the tourist season for its
unique bingo game.
House Took No Cut.
For 81 a patron received cards
emitting him to play in half dozen
games. Afew we're for $50 and others
for $lo0 and for the final game the
operators dumped into the pot all
the remaining proceeds so that the
prize invariably amounted to 1000
or more. The house took no cut from
the game but ran it merely to attract
patrons for the roulette and other
tables.
The place ran seven nights a week
with attendance amounting to $500
or 1000 night. Special buses and
jitneys brought patrons from down.
town Miami and Miami Beach. The
house supplied bodyguards for women

escorted home
Gov. Cole said he had received "a
lot OF complaints about gambling down
there and told the sheriffs to close
up all the places 1t was reported

nett. the construction of this park
and boulevard will add greatly to the
value Of real estate adjacent thereto
In the second place, the boulevard
will greatly relieve the congestion at
the bridge head at Rosslyn and will
lessen the time for q trip from those
sections of Arlington County near the
Lee boulevard to the downtown Sec
ton of Washington. thereby making
residence in Arlington County much
more desirable for people who work
In Washington or are connected with
the Federal Government.
I'm the third place." he said, "the
identification of the Spout Run VAL
ley and the construction of a park
therein will be of great advantage
to residents of Arlington County, espe-
cially when that county shall have
developed into a crowded city, as 1t
will in the near future.
The Federal funds are available
under the Capper- -Cramton Act for
the eventual acquisition and develop
ment OF the George Washington Me-
mortal Parkway along the Potomac
from Mount Vernon to the Great
Falls. Already the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission is
pushing to completion the first link
of the parkway and this has been
developed up to Key Bridge on the
Virginia side. A bridge across the
Columbia Island channel and a stone
oVerpass across railroad tracks have
been built.
Land Acquired.
With the assistance of Virginia and
Arlington County, the Federal Com
mission has acquired the land and is
planning to complete construction of
an extension of the boulevard under
Key Bridge and to join the Lee high
way at Rosslyn.
For the development of this first
unit connecting in Rosslyn, the Fed
eral Government already has spent,
from Arlington Memorial Bridge to
Key Bridge. slightly in excess of $173,-
600. 1t has allocated and in the fu-
ture will spend approximately $685.
600 for the same purpose. In addi-
ton it has expended $4,000 through
c. c.. c. work in developing Roose-
welt Island.
Plans have already been approved
for extending the Memorial boule-
ward up the banks of the Potomac
River to Great Falls on the Virginia
side. On representation of county Of
f1ciak, the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission agreed to CO.
operate in extending q link of the
boulevard across from the Three Sis
ters up the Spout Valley, wherein 1t
is proposed to develop beautiful park
for recreation and picnics.
In the opinion of Federal officials
the proposed Spout Run parkway and
connections with the Lee highway
Larcom lane and old Dominion road
which is now under development
would prove an asset warranting the
relatively small county expenditure

Krause Is Hot" All Day.
Krause wasted no time in revealing
the threat he was to be all afternoon
when he broke through center on the
Redskins third running play Of the
game and dashed 81 yards to q touch
down. Just before the half ended
Krause took q 23-yard pass from
Baugh on Philadelphia's Is and ran
for another score. And then, in the
first two minutes Of play OF the third
quarter. with his team trailing, 1914,
Krause again broke through center to
outrun half 4 dozen pursuers for II
yards and his third touchdown of the
day.
Perfect downfeld blocking made
Krauses work possible on every run.
Once Ed Justice and Charley Malone
collaborated with simultaneous body
blocks on three tacklers who were
about to bring down Max in mid
field. Both ends, Malone and Millner,
incidentally, played exceptionally fine
games. They rushed Eagle passers
al afternoon. were alright on defense
and were fast in covering punts.
Although the Dick Rifle to Joe Car
ter combination accounted for two
OF the Eagles touchdowns, the stage
for every one OF their three g.
pointers was set by Redskin fumbles.
Another thing that didn't help the
Redskins was the similarity of the
four onicials' uniforms to the Eagles.
Discarding the traditional all-white
pants and shirt, the referee, umpire,
fleld Judge and head linesman all wore
blue-and-white pants and jackets.

THRILL FLAHERTY
Coach Says Vet BIocker's
New Running Role. Rocks
Dash Will Aid Skins,
By RAY FLAHERTY.

Coach, Champion Washington Redskins.
The thing that pleased me most in
our victory yesterday was the spirit
OF the entire Redskin squad. 1t never
gave up, even when the Eagles had
q 9-point lead and We needed more
than = touchdown to tie. As I ex-
pected. the team had better spirit
than 1t had In either Of the All-star
games which We lost and it indicated
one thing: That when the boys know
they're playing for keeps. they're an
entirely different team.
OF course, we suffered q big loss
when Sammy Baugh was incapaci-
tated for . month. Just when it was
beginning to look as If his foot wasn't
affecting his passing-he completed
IL out of Is you know-he went
down before the rush OF three oppos-
ing tacklers. From the way they hit
him I guess We can be thankful it's
nothing worse than torn ligaments,
but it served to emphasize one thing
that our opponents are out to get"
Baugh.
Krause Star Ball Runner,
Max Krause proved, as We had sus-
pected, that he Is great running
back. Because we didn't have suf-
flcient blockers Krause didn't get
much Of chance to run last year
as he Is one Of the best blockers on
the team, but this season with Ruys
like Jay Turner and Rink Bond on
hand, we expect to make use Of Krause
rs ball carrier.
Our whole line played fine ball.
Vic Carroll is coming through As a
center even better than we expected.
Charley Malone played q swell game
yesterday and seems to be in for one
OF his best years The same applies
to Wayne Millner, q guy who's In
there every minute of the ball game.
Turk Edwards. Jim Barber. Jim Kar-
cher and Les OLSON played their con-
sistently fine games.
Hartman Smart Rookie.
That surprise pass which Bill Hart
man threw to Bill Young, who was
playing guard at the time, was per-
fectly executed. This Hartman. by
the way, looks to be the real foods.
The kid plays far better in games
than he does in practice and seems
to be able to work himself up 10 q
competitive pitch as we'll a. any
rookie I've ever seen. As an example,
he never punts more than 20 yards
In practice. Before the game he was
oooting them 60 yards and more.
I think that he will prove one Of
our surprise packages Of the year.
