The Ohio Supreme Court ruled
today that slot machines are gam
bling devices in themselves even

mere possession of a slot machine
a felony punishable by a manda-

ed enough milk for the family.
On the other hand, he found out
that some of his dairy farmers
were unable to expand their milk
production because Of a shortage
Of labor. Some Of them were even
culling, their brood cows closely
selling off good stock to packers
The problem was simple. Some
farmers had cows but not enough
labor, others had a surplus OF la
Dor and no COWS. All he had to 90
was to get the surplus cows to
some of the under-employed farm
families.

40, he had exhibited a slot mach
inc on the counter of his place Of
business.
He was found guilty, but the
Appellate Court reversed the con-
viction because the deputy who
made the arrest had not actually
seen anyone operating the ma
chine.
The Supreme Court, however,
reversed the Appellate Court and
upheld the conviction, holding that
the fact that it was openly dis
played and in working order was
sufficient evidence to obtain a
conviction.
