Citizens Committee
Asks Probe Of Drive
For Slot Machines

The Prince Georges County
Citizens Committee for Good
Government today called for an
investigation of the "diabolically
clever promotion campaign" to
|legalize slot machines.
A statement by William r.
Turner, executive secretary of the
group, asks the States Attorney
ito investigate completely this
campaign and place all matters
concerning it before the grand
jury" A grand jury will con-
vene April 2.
The statement declared that
the principal public campaign for
passage of a slot machine meas
ure has been conducted by the
"so-called Small Businessmen S
Committee" The statement dis
puted claims of the committee
that legalhation of the devices
would produce annually $637 ,537,
declaring it would be considerably
less.
1.-THE misleading and inaccurate
information being circulated as a
part of a campaign to legalize coin
machines of the gaming type and
the implications of this campaign
in view of the recent disclosures of
the Senate Crime Investigating
Committee are a matter of serious
concern to every thinking resident
of Prince Georges County," the
statement asserted.
Lancaster Awaits Receipt.
States Attorney Carlisle j..
Lancaster said today that he had
not received Mr.. Turner's state
ment. He said that if it were
brought to his attention by Mr..
Turner he would give it careful
consideration.
The county delegations will hold
a public hearing tonight at An
napolis on the Small Business
mems Committee proposal. The
measure has not been introduced.
The statement issued by Mr..
Turner on behalf of the commit
tee also said:
1T is to be particularly noted
that the claimed revenue, even if
true, would not simultaneously
accomplish the various ends cited
but rather, could accomplish only
one at a time. Thus the informa-
ton is misleading. Further, the
estimated revenue cannot be sub
Istantiated. =.
"The campaign in the public
press was followed by the distribu-
ton of two different letters, one
mailed to all teachers in Prince
Georges County, and the other
mailed or carried by hand to par
ticular sections of the county
which have in the past condoned
gambling or have been particu-
larly susceptible to misleading
propaganda.
Planning Extent Indicated.
"The fact that this promotion
campaign was able to produce
over 5000 communications to the
Prince Georges County Delegation
at Annapolis indicates the extent
of its planning. :.

D.C.Fireman Accused
OF Twice ATTACKING
Government Girl, 19

Prince Georges County police
today held a District fireman on
charges of beating and twice rap
ing 19-year-old Government
worker after threatening her with
a knife.
The accused is Benjamin Aqui-
limo, 25, former New Yorker who
Joined the District Fire Depart
lment July l, 1850, and was as
signed to No. IA Truck Co.
The girl, a tall, attractive bru-
Inette, told police Aquilino at

apartment in the 1900 block OF
Forest road in Kent Village, Md
Detective Edwin c. Cissel of the
county police said the girl was
badly bruised about the face and
neck and that medical report
confirmed that she was attacked
Defendant Denies Attack.
He said Aquilino admitted see
ing the girl Saturday, but denied
attacking or beating her.
The girl told police that Aqui-
limo two weeks ago asked her tc
go to his apartment to help him
select furnishings. He had told
Others he expected to marry an
other girl next month, police said
Saturday night he and the girl
had another date. Aquilino sug-
.gested they go to a movie, which
they had done several times in
the month they were acquainted
but instead drove to his apart
ment and suggested the girl help
him decide about some curtains,
she said.
She was opposed to the idea,
but agreed to stay 10 minutes
After talking a few minutes, she
charged, Aquilino picked up a six
inch pairing knife and threatened
her. After attacking her once, he
forced her to, remove her clothes
and assaulted her again in bed
she said. e.
Finally Driven to Home.
She was kept at the apartment
about an hour and a half and
then driven to her home, after
which she told her story to eighth
precinct police, Detective Cissell
said.
The two apparently struck UP
an acquaintance when Aquilinc
noticed her passing the f1rehouse
at Connecticut avenue and Porter
street NV, as she went from
work to her home at Connecticut
avenue and Rodman streets NV.
Detective Cissel said.
Employed at the Children's Bu-
reau of the Labor Department
the girl moved here about 1C
weeks ago from a small town in
Tennessee.
Aquilino, who was suspended by
the Fire Department Sunday
morning. will appear in Hyattsville
Police Court at 10 am. Thurs
day.

FREDERICK, Md, Mar. 49,
This little city, whose quaint row
houses Of red and painted bricl
have remained much the same
as when Stonewall jackson passed
under Barbara Fritchie's flag, j.
about to experience industrial ex.
pansion.
There are new factory chin.
neys in the skyline where "Tht
clustered spires of Frederick
stand-green-walled by the hills
of Maryland" Most of them rise
from the Army's great biological
warfare research project at Camp
Detrick at the northwest corner
of the town.
Camp Detrick is Frederick's
largest industry, employing about
1000 civilian workers and getting
ready to hire more.
And Lansdale Tube, a sub
sidiary of the Philco Corp, is
about to build a factory in the
northeast quarter of the city tc
employ about 800 women and zoe
men.
Frederick is one Maryland city
that did not mushroom during the
World War II period of expansion
While Hagerstown and Cumber-
land doomed, the population Of
Frederick remained almost un-
changed. The 1850 census found
that it was 10000, an increase OF
only 4.6 per cent over the 1916
figure.
AS in all small cities that have
been passed up by new industries
there is a good deal of cyniciSm
The word gets around that the
employers are keeping new estab-
|lishments out because their entry
would disturb the prevailing wage
scales. Bitter things are said,
such as: "All this town needs is
Is good funerals"
Called Highly Competitive.
In these situations the local
Chamber of Commerce, which is
probably doing its best to bring
new industries to the community
becomes regarded as conspiracy
to keep them out.
This selling a community to
industry is highly competitive and
all manner of factors. other than
the attitude of manufacturers
already located there, enter into
it.
For instance, it became known
right after the war that Du Pont
was considering Frederick as the
site of a tremendous chemical
plant. But Frederick finally lost
out to another community because
check on the flow of the nearby
Monocacy River showed there was
not enough water in July and
August to keep the plant in opera
ton. But the Chamber OF Com
merce got the blame.
This makes Chamber of Com
merce work very discouraging
There was a recent instance of
Frederick getting into world news
Pravda in Moscow ran an article
saying that Frederick was the
center of the American imperial
lists experiments in breeding
