In Anne Arundel
BY III. Assoeiet.d Pres.

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 30.-Punch-
boards will be illegal in Anne
Arundel County after May /.
The county commissioners voted
to outlaw the boards yesterday
because they said punchboard OPP
erations have been serving as a
"blind" for other illegal gambling
activity. Besides, the county only
made $4,000 from its punchboard
licenses last year and expected
considerably less return this year.
John H. Havener. county license
inspector, said a number of
places in the. county have obtained
Ia Federal license for wagering.
Upon inspection -" he said,
''it was found they all have
punchboards." Since this is the
only device licensed by the county
which also requires Federal Ii
icense, he recommended that the
punchbord permits be abolished.
Anne Arundel County legalizes

House Testimony Received.
The House Un-American Activ-
