BALTIMORE, April 3.-The
grand jury dismissed a minor
charge against a City Council
candidate yesterday, then began
its special investigation of Balti-
more politics in general.
It wants to learn whether Mary
lands Corrupt Practices Act was
violated in the municipal pri-
maries last Tuesday.
Five witnesses were called yes
terday and five more are on cal
for today. They include defeated
candidates and prominent figures
in both Democratic and Repub-
hcan party organizations.
Before taking up the broad in
vestigation the jury dismissed a
charge against Alexander Good
man, who has been involved in a
feud with Democratic
Boss James H. (Jack) Pollack and
is running for a council seat as an
independent.
Mr.. Goodman had been accused
of making unnecessary noises and
causing a commotion" at a poll
ing place in Mr.. Pollack's home
territory, the 4th district in North
west Baltimore.
Election officials had him ar
rested during the primary, COM
planning that he was delaying the
election procedure by asking every
voter for his home address.
Mr.. Goodman has charged that
the polling precincts roster is
padded.
One OF the things the jury has
been asked to Investigate is a
that votes were bought by
a lavish outlay of money in viola
ton Of the corrupt practices act.
This and similar countercharges
were mentioned by Judge Joseph
Sherbow Of the supreme bench in
his charge to the Jurors last week.

I met gate guards and construc-
ton clerks who had found living

Housing is the problem. Some
of the families are living in trailers
scattered about Ellenton's lawns
or in trailer courts on the road to
Aiken. But there are only TOO

Ban on Coin Machine!
Passed as Amended
For Prince Georges
BY O stuff corre.pondeo, Of The s.or


ANNAPOLIS. April 3.-A bill to
outlaw all types of coin-operated
amusement" devices in Prince
Georges County except claw and
Ipinball machines. today is await
ing Gov. McKeldin's signature.
AS originally introduced by the
lcounty's Republican State Senator
John r. Fletcher and passed by
the Senate, the measure would
ban every variety of electrical and
mechanical coin-operated devices
But Prince Georges delegates
tackled on two amendments when
it came to the House floor yester-
day. One exempted pinball and
claw machines and the other made
the act effective September / in
stead of June i.
Fletcher Favors Concurrence.
Obviously displeased at the
changes, Senator Fletcher never
lthelesS moved for concurrence
when the amended bill was re-
turned to the Senate.
Senate rejection would have
killed the bill.
Senator Fletcher refused to
comment and delegates would not
disclose who proposed the amend
Iments which were offered on the
floor by Delegate Perry o. Wilkin-
son, Democrat.
The act provides for conflscation
|of outlawed machines and fines
up to- 500 for each such device
found in a public establishment.
Senator Fletcher introduced the
bill at the request of county law
enforcement officers who said it
was difficult to detect over the
counter payoffs on now legal con-
sole machines.
The measure also was intended
to answer the contention of slot
machine hackers that you cannot
enforce laws against them, so you
had just as well legalize them"
Anti Gambling Bill Passed.
A high-powered campaign for
legal gaming waged by the
county Small Business Mems AS
sociation and a bid by a segment
of the county's war veterans failed
when the delegation refused to
sponsor such legislation.
Another bill designed to aid
Prince Georges and Wicomico
County authorities in their gam
bling cleanup was approved by
the Senate and sent to the Gov
ernor. 1t provides that evidence
obtained in gaming raids may be
used In court even when the
search and seizure is held illegal,
