"Mr. brakes Duck" a United

would participate in the maneu-
verS.
At one time early last winter
he added, there was a discussion
of using Marines, but the Navy
found that the Marines were toe

The idea was dropped before il

One of the provisions that

That provision requires price cell

hand in running the Texas racket
by remote control from Las

In fact, he carried on a lurid
feud with Harold Noble, the Dali

so often (nine at the time) that
he was known in the underworld
as THE Cat" But after Mobiles
wife was blown up in dynamite

Convinced of Crookedness.
Studying what happens when a
state or community is "Siegel-
lied" or "Binionized," my own
opposition to legalized gambling
has become firm. The casino type
of operation is more often crooked
than not-and legalizing it will
not make it less so. The fascina-
ton of gambling to many people
is so strong that it would be COM
plete folly to make the facilities
more available.
Employees of magnesium plant
near Las Vegas were paid ex-
tremely high wages and should
have been prosperous. Yet, when
the plant had to be moved sew

employees simply did not have

Nevada's gambling laws have
