Nevada Situation Offers Case
Against LegoIized Gambling

+, for wire service for his. own hotel

opinion of the committee, "gives
him considerable financial adj
vantage over his competitors"
Become Greedy and Violent.
The driving force behind the
reforms was the frightening
fact that the out-of- State hood
lums and killers who invaded
Nevada had become so greedy
and violent that an outbreak of
gang warfare was feared. BY
licensing them, the State hoped
to stabilize the industry. Yet the
tax commission promptly granted
licenses to the same hoodlums.
This. as the dual-roled. Mr..
Moore explained, was q sort of
"granddaddy clause" to protect
the people who were in the bust
ness when the law was passed.
When Counsel Rudolph HALEY
asked how the commission pos
sibly could have licensed a Ger
tain gambler who had a fragrant
record for illegal operations in
other states. Moore replied: How
was he going to learn the busi-
ness?"
We also were captivated by the
unique role of Clifford Aaron
Jones. attorney at-law, lieutenant
governor of the State and a
partner in the Pioneer Club, the
Golden Nugget. and the Thun-
derbird Hotel. all gambling oper-
ations. Lieutenant Governor
Jones az per cent interest in
the Pioneer Club, which he pur-
chased for $1,000. has yielded him
approximately $4,000 a year, and
his per cent interest in the
Golden Nugget, for which he paid
$23,310 pays about $4,000.
The move which placed the tax
commission in the business of IL
censing gamblers, as a matter of
fact, Was precipitated by Robert
E. Jones, district attorney of the
county Ia which Las Vegas is To-
Gated aa.a a law partner-tfough
no relation-to 1t. Gov. Jones. He
wrote the tax commission that the
gangsterc were getting too quar-
relsome since Siegel's assassina-
ton and that warfare might break
out at any time.

Luciano. Frank Costello, Joel

Civil Service Seeks
To Counter Tall Tales
l0f Dangerous D. C.

The Civil Service Commission
has suggested counter-measures
against sensational books and
news stories which picture Wash
ington as a dangerous place for
young people. especially young
lgirls, taking Federal employment.
csc Chairman Robert Rams
peck said In a letter to Repre-
sentative Elein, Democrat, Of New
York that such "fiagrantly ex-
aggerated" reports on conditions
here undoubtedly are having a
damaging effect on recruitment to
I'LL positions created by the ma
tional emergency.
Mr.. Ramspeck said the District
government might be interested
in issuing a pamphlet describing
the recreational. cultural and edu-
cational advantages Of the Ma
tional Capital. He added the
commission would offer its help to
the District with this end in view.
Other Groups Would Aid.
Mr.. Ramspeck suggested fur
Their that the project would have
the cooperation Of the Wash
ington Board of Trade. the Fed
Ieral Recreational Committee and
other Federal agencies here.
The civil service chief said he
doubted whether it would be ''pru-
dent or prove effective for Gov
eminent official to engage in
laltercation" with the writers of
stories playing up "sordid condi-
tons" in Washington.
He admitted that many Of the
"evils depicted do exist, as they
exist in other cities" But to at
tack the writer's for "unduly
Istressing these undesirable condi-
tons would. believe. merely draw
further attention to them"
Sees Positive Approach.
MFR. Ramspeck said he fully
agreed with Mr.. Klein that the
Government should give enthusi-
astic publicity to the constructive
side of the picture-the existing
cultural. recreational and other
leisure time activities now being
carried on In Washington.
Many Government departments
are doing on outstanding job in
encouraging wholesome outside
activities for their employees. Al
together, believe that the Wash
ington Metropolitan Area provides
a better-than-average variety Of
such interests for Its inhabitants"
The commissioner suggested the
District government could also
seek the active cooperation of the
press and other communications
media" In campaign to counter
act bad publicity given Washing
ton by sensationalists.
