Bell System Stresses
Opposition 10 Use Of
Phones by Gamblers

The official attitude of the Bel
System regarding the use of tele-
phones by gamblers was made
tclear last April at a stockholders
meeting of the American Tele-
ohone g. Telegraph Co. in New
York.
Cleo F. Craig, then vice presi-
dent and now president of AT. ct
was asked by stockholder &c
explain the company's stand. His
reply follows:
Il would like to say fatty that
the telephone companies of the
Bell System do not want 'bookie
business. They want no part OF
| it. We cooperate in every way we
can with law enforcement alen-
cies to keep such business off OF
the lines and the facilities of the
Bell System. We do that short OF
listening in, of tapping in on con-
versationS, and short of taking
over the function of law enforce
ment itself.
What we do when we get an
application for service is investi-
gate and if we have reasonable
cause to believe that that service
will be used for gambling, we re-
fuse to put in the service. II,
after the service is installed, we
are advised by a law-enforcing
agency that that service is being
used for an illegal purpose and
lit has evidence to that effect, we
discontinue the service immedi-
Iately. We do not countenance in
any way the use of our facilities
for gambling or for illegal pur-
poses. We try to get rid of it in
every way that we can.
Multiple Phones Used.
Nov, to talk to this point that
there are 20 or 80 telephones in
one location that we must know
about think the inference is
that when those cases are dis
covered. the telephone company
knew about them all the time and
Icondoned those instruments being
in there; and to make that in
ference is not to under stand how
these telephones get in there in
the first place.
Let me explain what our prac-
tice is. We don't put 20 tele-
!phones into any one location
without a thorough supervisory
investigation. 1t comes all the
way up the line from the people
down the line to top supervisory
people. We make that investiga-
Ition in each case where there are
more than two telephones going
into a location. AS I say, where
we have any cause to believe that
it is to be used for gambling. we
do not put in the service.
Notify Police Agencies.
Where there is doubt as to
whether or not it is going to be
used for gambling, and we cannot
get additional data to sustain that
doubt, we notify the law-enforc-
ing agencies of that application
We disconnect any service where
we find wires or the instruments
Evening star., 1951-08-09

have been tampered with. We
disconnect any service where we
cannot get access to the premises
for any reason.
What these gamblers do, as a
general rule, on these batteries of
20 or 80 telephones, is that they
will go into a neighborhood, they
will buy up, SO to speak, the use
of certain subscribers telephones
in that area. That in itself is an
Illegal practice, but that Is what
they do. They buy up the use of
those telephones. They run them
in with their own help to a central
location. They will operate there
for short period and then move
on to some other location.
Il just want to repeat that we
want no part of it. We know that
you want no part of it. We want
to get rid of it. We try every way
that we know how to get rid of it,"

only general questions about the
exam. such as WAS it a hard
exam?" and Should I study the

were so tough lot of cadets had

would sneak down to the base
ment to study by dim lights.
Hard as it is on the ordinary
cadet, the burden is much greater
on the football player" he added.
But cribbing wasn't the only as
sistance. We also gave them as
much genuine tutoring as our own
studies would allow"
The football captain said he
thinks the Academy should make
it physically impossible for cadets
to use out-of-claSs cribbing and
should abolish the fear motive"

1t Runs Through
My Mind
By POLLY ]. HANST

An old professor at school used to
say that no man was true gentle
man until he had learned to carve
we'll.
I'm beginning to get bit anxious
about the next generation. When they
see a roast of beef once in coon's
age, turkey twice a year, and leg of
lamb, only in early childhood, how
will they learn that fine art?
But then, they may be writing
their own books of etiquette. 1t could
be likely that one of the rules would
read, when eating a T-bone steak
pick up the bone and gnaw until the
last morsel is consumed for heavens
knows when you'll get the chance
again"
Play to a youngster is what work is
to an adult. The trouble is so many
people never grow up.

but only few ever live up to it. The
most outstanding one Of these is the
former Martha Jane Baird, grand
daughter of Mrs. John Robinson. This
month she had her sixth. One every
year, just the way she said she was
going to have them.
She manages her household so well
that no one thinks of feeling sorry
for her Her doctor (who is not her
husband says he has never seen any
one like her. She gets healthier and
more radiant with each child
Could be that she's chip off the
old block, and here's hoping some of
her little chips will come from their
old block.
Congratulations Martha Jane,
you're the envy Of Oakland's younger
set.

It's interesting to see how people
react to ash trays. Women invariably
will say, "Oh, don't you have little
one, these are too big to wash" Men
don't care whether they're little or
big as long as there's a fireplace to
aim at.
It's amazing how conscious people
are of ashes. Since I'm not, l rarely
manage to include trays in table set
thing, but most wives huff a bit when
their husbands use the plate or
saucer Some I've noticed use the
palm of their hand or a match box,
or even the cuff of their trousers.
When that happens | take stock to
find that every tray in the house has
pins, thimbles, thread, rawlings or a
pair Of glasses in them.
Each time | sift the pins from the
ashes | remind myself that pin
cushions were made for pins and ash
trays for ashes, then, later, forget to
remind myself.
