Spending by Gamblers
In ST. Marys Vote Seen
s..ejoI pi,noteh 10 The stur

LEoNARDTowN, Md, Nov. 15.-
Officers of the 400-men1ber st.
Marys County Civic Association last
night charged that gambling in
terests will expend huge sums" to
win a majority vote In the SLOT
machine referendum to be held In
the county December 9.
The charges, made at a meeting
of the association at Great Mills
High School, were the opening
broadside In what observers pre-
dicted would be one Of the hardest
fought elections ever held In st.
Marys County.
The referendum results from pas
sage by the General Assembly, at
the recent special session, OF bill
empowering the county commits
sioners board to determine what
types of "amusements" may be IL
censed In the county, and to levy
taxes on receipts.
The referendum, association
speakers said last night, is to be
conducted by the county Board OF
Election Supervisors In accordance
with generally used procedure.
Principal argument offered by the
bills hackers Is the county's need
for additional revenue. Legalized
slot machines, they assert, will bring
at least $4,000 into the county
treasury annually.
Proponents of the act say the
county commissioners will impose
a yearly $50 license fee on each
<naehine, and q 5 per cent gross
receipts tax. The bill leaves the
amount Of the tax to the discretion
lot the county commissioners.

PRINCE FREDERICK, Md, Nov.
15-Fifty grand Jury indictments
charging gambling were on file today

residents, most Of them proprietors
Of business establishments at the

They followed a request to the
jurors by Chief Judge william Loker
to investigate thoroughly what the
Judge said were "the unscrupulous
activities Of gambling interests
within the boundaries" of Calvert
County.
He told the jury that mechanical
gambling devices operated only In
the open and in public places and
could not exist without concurrence
Of law-enforcement officials.
He asserted that where such de-
vices were in operation 1t indicated
clearly that the operators control
your politics"
"They control every Office In your

contest them,' Judge Loker declared.

Control of gambling interests, he
told the jury, extended beyond poll
tics and reached into the very vitals
Of the community's economic life"
He said any business that opposed
gambling interests would be injured.
He said those who controlled
gambling would spend any amount
Of money necessary to achieve their
end"
"The real question" he declared
Is Just question of political power
and money against courage when
these things do get to court.
LET the truth come out at any
expense" he said.
Judge Gray set November "A as

Maryland Court Rule,
Revised 10 Expedite,
Simplify Procedure
By the Esseeioted Pres.

ANNAPOLIS. Md Nov 15,-
Maryland lawyers have new legal
problem laid out for them by the
court of appeals set of revised
rules effective throughout the State,
including a procedure to effect
speedier : justice on uncontested
claims.
The tribunal, empowered to set
up procedure for all Maryland courts,
has adopted the changes on recon-
mendation OF Its standard committee
on rules Of practice and procedure
Judge Levin c. Bailey of Salisbury
heads the group.
In a statement announcing the
rules, Chief Judge Ogle Marbury
said the committee had worked a
year and half on the changes "in-
tended to clarity and simplify the
administration of justice"
The only objection came from the
Baltimore City Bar Association
which desired to keep In force the
old speedy judgment act for Balti-
more City.
Judge Marbury said, "We have
come to the conclusion that the ad-
visibility of having uniform sys-
tenn throughout the State outweighs
these arguments"
Highly technical, the new rules
will make the operation Of the
courts more uniform throughout the
State.
Copies Of the rules will be made
available in book form and DR.. Hor-
ace E. Flack, director Of the Bureau
of Legislative Reference, expects to
include them in his 1947 cumulative
supplement to the Maryland code
