Attorney Ben G. Wilkerson, jr., to-
day inaugurated a campaign against
illegal pinball machines in a con-
ference with Police Chief J. William
Garrett Of the Montgomery County
police.
Mr.. Wilkinson said he had receive
ed complaints that pinball machine
distributors were "edging in" with
q new type of machine and that
police would start q canvass of the
county to eliminate them without
further delay.
Store owners who might not un-
derstand the distinctions between
legal and illegal machines will not
be arrested but the distributors will
be given no warning, Mr.. Wilkinson
said. According to a decision of the

machines In which the skill of the
player is allowed free exercise are
legal, the States attorney explained.
The new type which has made its
appearance in the county recently
includes also one or more revolving
