Judge Marbury
Scores P| an for
State Lottery
Asks New Grand Jury
10 Reconsider Report
Of Preceding Group

Circuit Judge Charles c. Mar
bury of Prince Georges County
yesterday denounced proposals for
a State-sponsored lottery as no
more logical than the legalization
of larceny.
The judges statement came in
the course of a charge to the
courts new grand jury. He asked
this body to reconsider and re-
examine" a report filed last month
by the preceding grand jury.
The former jurors recommend
ed that a study be made of the
advisability of establishing a Mary
land lottery, both as means of
bringing tax relief and to reduce
professional gaming activity. The
earlier jury said, however, that an
investigation showed gambling in
Prince Georges had been reduced
to IAN almost irreducible mini
num-
Urges Study of History.
Judge Marbury asked the new
jurors to consider whether the ex-
pected tax relief would be Offset
by petty gambling and graft. He
suggested a review Of the history
of the United States to see
whether this country became
great by following gambling prac-
tices."
He also questioned whether eco
nomic stability would be main
tanned if a substantial portion"
of the people participate in games
of chance instead of things
worthwhile.
"You are in no wise bound by
the April jury's comment" Judge
Marbury told the 23-member body
chosen as the October term began.
Then he went on to say:
1T would be just as logical to
legalize larceny, or violations OF
the zoning laws or other minor
violations.
Taking note of the report that
gambling has been cut to low
point, Judge Marbury said that
If this is true, credit is due the
county's law enforcement authori-
ties and the grand jurors. He OBJ
served that enforcing gambling
laws is not as simple as the public
is apt to think. because search
warrants can be obtained only
after affidavits are signed to show
grounds for entry.
Commends Parole Unit.
Judge Marbury commended the
Department of Parole and Proba-
ton. He said its expanded facili-
ties have enabled the court to OBJ
tain more information on: the
backgrounds of individuals in
volved in criminal cases and have
helped the court to better deter
mine the action it should take.
