by Bar Commission
BY the A..eeio,.d Pres.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 8.-An
official crime study group of the
Nations lawyers today took a swipe
at proposals to legalize gambling.
The Commission on Organized
Crime of the American Bar Asso-
citation said in a report issued here
that "the evils that flow from toll
Grated illegal gambling-when the
laws are simply not enforced-are
precisely the same as those which
appear when gambling is legalized. %
mo one has ever been able to
come forward with positive argu-
ments in favor Of professional
gambling in terms of intrinsic
worth or social utility" the report
asserted.
Drawn Up for Legislatures.
The report, the product of two
years research. was presented to
the National Conference of Com
missioners on Uniform State Laws,
which opened a week-long meeting
here.
If the conference and the
American Bar Association, meet
ing here next week, approve sug-
gested laws proposed by the Crime
Commission. they will be pre-
sented to the 48 State Legisla-
lures.
New York City Judge Morris
Ploscowe directed the research. He
is executive director Of the COM
mission.
Heart Of the proposals are four
model laws to curb corruption, in
cluding one which would compel
small fry of crime rings to testify
against other members by grant,
ing them immunity from punish
ment.
Definition Inclusive.
Another model law is a compre-
hensive anti-gambling code.
Its chief innovation. according
to Commission Chairman Walter

of all kinds Of professional gam

ceeded Mr.. McGrath.
Mr.. McGranery had no official
