What is more, there is no re-

the law on any gambling violation
brought before me I will continue
to uphold the law and that applies
to bingo or any other gambling
game coming under the statute.
Police officials were repeatedly
declaring that it is "of little use'
to pick up gamblers in view OF a
declaration by Judge Smith that
the recent arrest of four Negroes
engaged in a private poker involv-
ing S1.45 was close to petty perse-
cution.
The Recorder had fined the men
$500 apiece and RENTED costs.
He said that, in view of the evil
dence that the game was private
and peaceful. and with such gam
bling for stakes. reputedly a gen
eral practice throughout the state,
he had reason to believe that the
arresting officers were picking on
the defendants"
That opinion. Judge Smith said,
was a far cry from tolerance of
violations of the gambling law.

To Spread Supply
OPA Administrator Paul A. Port
er declared the controls will not
reduce the total of meat available
but will spread the supply more
evenly over the country.
The object, his statement said,
is to make sure that legitimate
slaughterers can get their share OF
available meat at ceiling prices.
Conversely, it means that no OPP
orator can slaughter a dispropor-

er continued. Every family and
every section of the country has
its right to a fair share Of meat
regardless of the source OF sup

He termed the restored slaughter
program "a very important step
i, holding down black market op-
erations," since it provides a check
on the source of all meat. Each
slaughterer is required to mark
his product so it can be traced
back to him if it finds its way
