more people in Office who are sus-
ceptible.
Methods Are Same.
Hence, simply because of the
greater size, you hear of more
examples. But the methods are
the same, at least in principle" !"
Mr.. Swope did not agree with
the Kefauver committee witness
who described gambling as "a
biological necessity"
1T isn't as strong as that, I"
he said. "It seems to be human
instinct People apparently want
to gamble, and I am not at all
sure that that'is breach of basic
morality"
People indulge it by placing
a bet on a horse race with a
bookie. Bookmaking is supposed
to be the basic cause of pay-offS

I'm that case, remove the police

izing the action. It doesn't make
much sense to permit betting at

The Basketball Fix
What's the explanation of the
basketball FIX? A generation
ago, it was popularity believed a
college athlete would die rather
than throw game. he was asked.
That isn't so much the result
of a lowering of individual stand
ards as it is of professionalizing
college sports" Mr.. Swope said.
''The coaches can't avoid some
of the responsibility for that side
of it. And neither can the people
who demand winning team-or
else.
1T so happens that basketball
has become an easy vehicle for
betting. But if the individual
player had not become somewhat
cynical about sports through be-
ing paid for his ability, he prob
ably would not have been so sus-
ceptible to the bribe offer when
it came along"

|AFGE Chief CHARGES
Unjust Dealing With
Personnel Grievances

James Campbell, the newly
appointed president of the AFI
American Federation of Govern
ment Employees. last night charged
Government agencies with a lack
of justice in dealing with per-
sonnel grievances of Government
employees.
Speaking at dinner in his
honor sponsored by the District
lodges of the AFGE at the Press
Club auditorium, Mr.. Campbell
declared:
There is too much of a tend
ency to pay lip service to the
grievance procedures in agencies.
Almost every agency has them,
but when it comes to putting them
into effect, that is another thing"
Mr.. Campbell declared his union
will fight for adequate grievance
machinery in Government to
handle the complaints of Federal
employees regarding working con-
ditions.
1--WE are going down the line
on these things, and whoever has
to be fought will be fought" he
said.
Hits Cuts in Benefits.
The AFGE chief also declared
the present move in Congress to
reduce Federal employees leave and
other benefits is hurting Govern
ment recruitment of personnel for
the national emergeny program.
He said private industry, on the
other hand, was Offering pros
pective employees all sorts OF
inducements.

bets made with bookies-amounts
to between SO billion and IS bill
lion year. That is based partially
on the fact that So billion is bet
legally at the Nations race tracks
every year.
It is also based on such testi-
mony as this:
A Los Angeles County bookie
syndicate admitted crossing about
ST million year. A Florida syndi-
cate reported a $26 million busi-
ness in one year. James j. Carroll,
the st. Louis betting commits
sioner, said he and his associates
handled $40 million in bets in a
single year.
There was testimony that
Chicago has eight big numbers
wheels" and as many smaller
ones. The owner of a one-flfth
interest in only one of these
wheels" testified his share of
the profits in a single year
amounted to 100000.
The committee. heard in New
York that one Brooklyn bookie
laid off $150.000 in baseball and
football bets one Saturday after
noon. When a bookie lays off
bets, he is giving part of his bets
to other bookies to share the risk.
A Kansas City mobster ad-
mitted his bookie business at one
hotel newsstand netted him
around 100000 year. At Miami
Beach, bookies pay from SOS. 900
to $5O.O00 just for the privilege
of operating in a hotel. Gam
bier Frank Erickson, according to
the testimony. paid about $4,000
for the gambling concession at
the Roney Plaza Hotel during a
three month season.
The gambling clubs do a
stupendous business but deal
largely in cash and keep hazy
accounts. One New Jersey. group
of gambling clubs cleared $5,000,-
900 in checks from patrons in six
months. These presumably were
checks written after the white
tie-and-tails set ran out of cash.
1t can also be assumed that most
of it was left in the gambling
houses. One patron of a New
Jersey gambling place said he
lost $4,000 in four visits.
One gambling house just out
side New Orleans admitted doing
iS2 million worth of business a
year. That was book business
not the cash that was never re-
corded. In fact, business was
so good outside New Orleans that
gambling houses offered to build
an $4,000 Sunday school build
ing for a crusading minister, if
he would stop his efforts to close
them up.
AS for the slot machines, the
committee estimates the locations
that paid their Federal tax dur
ing the 1949 fiscal year took in
about $540 million. The commit
tee also estimates that a mobster
who places a modest 200 machines
gets about $4,000 a week. One
New Orleans outfit has 5000 slot
machines.
There also is testimony about
hundreds of thousands of dollars
cached away in strong boxes and
millions of dollars that never gel
near a tax collector.
All of it adds up to this:
The racketeers can afford tt
pay whatever they need to swing
an election to their candidate, tt
make city hall see things theil
way, to send a killer across the
country to wipe out a rival.
Their profits are so tremendou.
that all forms of criminals ar,
attracted to the pots of gold ane
will fight to get a share of it.
And instead of paying for shoe,
and milk and medicine, the la.
borer'S dimes and the clerks dol
lars are buying the power tina
