Wooden NickeIs BuyLood
OF Grief for Reno Slots

RENO, New, Sept. II R.-
The old adage about not taking
any wooden nickels is only toe
true for Nevada's gamblers.
A commercial stunt by the
neighboring city of Sparks in
issuing 10000 wooden nickels
can turn into a gamblers night
mare. The "nickels" are Of the
exact dimensions of q silver dol
lar.
Somebody has made the hor-
rifying discovery (from q gam
bling operators standpoint) that
the wooden nickels work very
nicely in the big dollar slot ma
chimes used in many Of the
States casinos.
MY, my" commented one op-
orator when informed of the dis
covery. Now I'll get ulcers for
sure"
Some machines Will take the
wooden nickels just like they
take the silver cartwheels
Others require a little gimmick
easily discovered by the player
with a chiseling soul. Still others,
in the minority. won't permit a
pull of the handle. jamming in
stead.
Evening star., 1955-09-18

Only a few gambling houses
report finding the phony pieces
of pine in their slots so far. but
word Of the wooden nickel's dual
role is spreading fast.
I'VE may have to put on extra
girls to keep an eye on the dollar
machines alone" said a slot op-
orator.
An official of the Sparks
Chamber of Commerce which is
sued the 10000 souvenir pieces
to commemorate the city's 50th
anniversary said:
There's nothing we can do
now. I guess they'll just have to
put q guard on every dollar
machine"
That will make a bigger pay
roll for Reno as well as for
Sparks" he added.
The nickels are manufactured
by a novelty house in Texas
where slot machines are illegal.
In Nevada, gambling Is legalized.
They are being distributed by
Sparks merchants and are re-
deemable for a nickels worth
of merchandise or for cash with
the Chamber Of Commerce.

In 1854, the Bureau won a highly
unusual case which found six
Midwestern firms suing it for
in failing to predict
the severe Kansas food Of 1851.
Conditions at the time were
conflicting so that the Bureau
might have predicted either a
severe food or a moderate one.
It decided not to be alarmist,
but the flood became a whopper
and much damage resulted.
However, a Federal District Court
concluded that weather predic-
tions depend on so many un-
certainties that no liability
should attach to mistaken fore
casts.
New Arguments Ahead
Whether this doctrine will
carry over into atomic radiation
cases, or even continue in the
face of more frequent hurricane
floods, is uncertain. 1t probably
will, but these new arguments
should be anticipated:
/. In the case of atom plants:
The Federal Government may
not be entirely immune since the
plants are likely to operate under
close Government scrutiny.
2. In the case of hurricanes
With new river forecast centers
set up. new techniques for fol-
lowing storms, and increased
reliance placed on Bureau FORE
casts. liability could arise where
none existed before.

added.
In July, the Chinese Red
Cross invited Mre. Rigney to
visit her son in his Peiping jail.
The invitation was in reply to q
letter Mrs. Rigney wrote to
Premier Chou En-lai appealing
for release Of the priest.
But the State Department re-
fused to issue a passport to Mrs.
Rigney on the grounds that it
could not guarantee her safety.
For Bargaining Purposes
For some time it has been
evident that the Chinese Com
munists were holding onto the
small group of American mis-
sionaries still in China-pre-
sumably for bargaining pur-
poses.
Roman Catholic Bishop James
Edward Walsh of Cumberland,
Md, is among those who have
been promised freedom.
The Reds have been presSuring
Chinese Christians to join their
Iso-called Church Reform Move
ment that will follow Communist
ideas and break all ties with
Western church bodies.
Missionaries who have left
China say the Church Reform
Movement has not been very
successful.
One apparent confirmation OF
this Communist failure to mould
Christians comes from China
Youth. official magazine pub
lished in Peiping.
In the current issue reaching
Hong Kong the publication con-
.ceded that it is difficult to BRAIN
wash religious believers.
People can break any idol, ="
it said, but can't wash the di-
Ivinity off the brain of religious
follcwers--this must be done
through persuasion and educa-
ton. We look forward to the

THE WEEK IN RELIGloN
Missionaries in Chino
Brought Woe to Reds
By RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE

by hELkU4OUS NEWS oGhVANE
Foreign missionaries who have
been promised their freedom by
Red China hope they have built
UP native churches strong
enough to resist Communist
assaults and carry on the
Christian movement.
After the American mission
aries have departed. only small
group Of foreign missionaries Of
various nationalities win be left
in the country.
Exodus Of the % American
missionaries who have. been
promised freedom began Friday
with the. release of the Rev.
Harold w. Rianey. 8. v. D. Of
Chicago.
The group comprises II Ro-
man Catholics. including two
bishops, and six Protestants.
Most of them have been in jail
or under house arrest for two
to four years.
Usual Charges
The charges against them are
the usual Communist charges
Of espionage, i,eactionary prop
aganda and other anti-State
activities.
Typical are the allegations
against Father Rigney. perhaps
the best known. Of the captives!
The Communist New China
news agency said he had been
sentenced to 10 years in prison
for "bribing government person.
mel, spying on China's state
secrets and collecting extensive
intelligence of a. military, polit-
ical and economic nature"
Father Rigney was rector OF
the Catholic Flu Jen University
in Peiping when he was arrested
In July. 1851.
The movement to obtain their
freedom was given powerful
impetus by a campaign launched
in Chicago some months ago for
release of the priest.
More than $4,000 Chicago
parochial school children and
their parents sent letters to
President Eisenhower urging ac-
tion on behalf OF Father Rigney.
State Senate Acts
The Illinois Senate unani-
mously adopted a resolution last
April, calling upon Mr.. Eisen-
hover and the State Depart
ment to apply their "full power
and authority towards this end"
And in Washington. six Illinois
Congressman made speeches in
the House demanding the free
ing of Father Rigiiey and other
Americans.
Chicago newspapers Joined in
the crusade and lit was taken
up by Catholic papers and
organizations over the country.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Addie Rigney,
the priests 77-year-old mother,
made several trips to Washing
ton. Mr.. Eisenhower assured her
late in April that your Gov
ernment is doing all it can in
its efforts to effect the release
of your son and his fellow
prisoners whom the Communists
are detaining so uni,lstifiably."
