Vital to any improvement this respect is the
presence and activity within the U. ~ of a ginger
group-a group of members Of more than negligible
weight. with enough detachment to win widespread
confidence. enough concern for the general good to
break out of the parocha pattern of geographical and
racial blocks enough imagination to put forward new
technues and enough generosity to example by
contributing physically to the development of those

Today, the potential membership of this group is
sadly limited Neither powers nor satellites nor
those AsanAfrcan countries that are content to ac-
claim President Nasser whatever he does can qualify
Yet the ginger group is not confined to "uncom-
mitted" any more than to committed" countries in

Not at all. replies Mr.. Mitchell.

after they've won a victory, to act
like good sports. We emphasize
graciousness in victory and remind
them that when you win, you don't
rub 1t in"
After the 1854 Supreme Court
decision, the NAACP decided on a
policy of attempting to negotiate
the further breakdown of school
segregation "as long as local peo-
pie would negotiate in good faith"
rather than turning Immediately to
the court in every attempt in a
locality.
At first. officials say, there was
indication that this policy would
be successful in many areas, and
they say that there still are COM
munities where there is reason to
believe this policy will work" There
were communities. they explain. in
North Carolina, Georgia and Vir-
ginia darlington and Norfolk 4,

could be accomplished without court
action.
But in each of these States, they
charge, action at the State level

The NAACP, Mr.. Mitchell main
tains. recognizes that the problem of
integration requires a gigantic
adjustment But he adds it is not
a problem that is insurmountahle.
Two years ago, the national con-
vention of the NAACP set a goal of
1963-the centennial of the Eman-
cipation Proclamation - for the
final realization by the Negro "of
the rights guaranteed to every
American in the Constitution.
Isn't this an overly optimistic
outlook? Mr.. Mitchell was asked.
"On the contrary" he answered,
II honestly expect the goal to be
reached before then-even in Mis-
sissippi. Things are happening so
fast right now that it's hard to
record them. The situation is MOTH
ing like it was only two years ago."

PlNBALL PAYOFFS
Prince Georges Gambling Furor

ball gambling Is there on the rec
ord?
A. Although mere possession of
Federal gaming stamp is not con-
elusive evidence Of pinball payoffs,
two police raids last month resulted
in pinball payoff charges against
persons in taverns in which the
machines were covered by Federal
gaming stamps. Eyewitness re-
ports confirm that there are pay
offs. Police also charged more than
dozen persons in four establish
mentS with making illegal alcoholic
beverage sales in recent weeks.
q. Is there a connection between
county taverns and pinball gam
bling?
A. AS the records show, most of
the machines with gambling stamps
are in establishments with some
type of alcoholic beverage permit,
especially those where hard liquor
is served.
There are total of $50 estab-
liShments in Prince Georges with
licenses to sell alcoholic beverages.
The Federal stamp files show that
about 20 per cent of the restaurants
where beer. wine and liquor may
be sold (there are LOG such licen-
sees) were listed as having Federal
stamp pinballs.
q. Are there any proposals in
Annapolis TO control pinbalI gam
bling in the county?
A. Senator H. WinShip Wheat
ley. jr.. has introduced a bill to
increase the maximum penalty for
pinball gambling from a 500 fine
to $500 or six months in jail or
both. The bill also would provide
that Federal gambling stamps be
considered prima-facie evidence
that the machines were being used
for gambling.
q. Have Maryland Legislatures in
the past looked into pinball and
slot-machine gambling?
A. Yes. There have been several
attempts to legalize slot machines
for gambling. In l949 Prince
Georges residents voted in a refer
endum to legalize slot machines
after the General Assembly passed
enabling legislation. However, the
enabling statute was ruled invalid
by County Circuit Court Judge
Charles G. Marbury.
In 1851 the State Legislature
again considered a bill to legalize
gambling In the county. II was
argued the county would derive
from $250.000 to 100000 annually

she just didn't believe that the taste
OF a few hundred people could be

a way, she was questioning the
validity of the whole booming bust
ness OF scientific sampling of tastes

radio programs We like: what color

We want to be President-almost
everything except what We dream
about. The cost of all this runs
into millions of dollars year.
Is 1t worth it? How accurate do
pollsters claim to be? How do they
operate? How scientific are they?
Here are some answers:
Probably the polling industry's
biggest impact is felt in television.
The findings OF about half doz-
en- polls have much to do with the
programs you see-and with the
distribution of the more than 81
billion TV sponsors SPEND each
year.
The five best-known TV pollsters
are the A. c. Nielsen Co, American
Research Bureau. Trendex. The
Pulse and Videodex.
Very seldom do their ratings pre-
ciSely agree. The pollsters explain
by pointing out that they are not
measuring the same things. Also.
their ratings are guides, not abb
solutes.

The proposal failed, however, and
the legislature instead enacted

Guiding the console type slots then
prevalent.
Before final passage, an amend
ment was hooked onto the bill
eXempting pinball machines.
Q. How do county residents and
officials react to statements that
many Prince Georges pinbalIs are
operated Illegally?
A. The situation has been exag-
gerated, some say Herbert w.
Reichelt, president of the County
Board of Commissioners, declared
in January that the police depart
ment will be given sufficient funds
to carry on its war against illegal
liquor sales and pinball payoffs,
but added: THE situation has been
magnified. :"
Commissioners Frank j. Lastner
and Landslide G. Clagett said they
had no knowledge of pinball ma
chine payoffs and thought the situ-
alton had been blown up out of
proportion.

Voters last month said the league

Prince Georges and the good cit
liens of the county are getting tired
of being blackened because of
honky-tonks ;"
Some residents have spoken in
favor of another referendum on
whether legalized pinball gambling
should be permitted.
q. What about corruption among
policemen and county officials?
A. Many county residents have
specialized that illegal pinball oper-
ationS could not survive unless
some officials are being paid TO
look the other way" But no one
has charged official corruption or
produced evidence that it exists.
q. Prior TO the recent gambling
arrests, did the county police make
any efforts TO check pinball gam
bling?
A. If they did the results could
not be measured in terms Of arrests.

BY G. o. HERNDON

Prince Georges County has long
had the reputation of being wide
open. even before a Delegate to
the Maryland General Assembly
charged several weeks ago that pin
ball operators there had bought
hundreds of Federal gambling
stamps in a jurisdiction where gam
bling is illegal
Delegate Hervey G. Machen drew
the logical inference that purchase
of the $3.50 stamps meant pinball
gambling was going on. with cash
payotis made to winners of free
games on the machines.
Since then there has been much
talk of police crackdowns. promise
of legislative remedies and coun-
tercharges that it's all vastly exag-
gerated.
just what is the situation in
Prince Georges County?
Here are some of the answers to
that question:
q. How many pinbaIl machines
are there in the county?
A. At least 1000. In 1858. when
the county commissioners con-
sidered and rejected a law to inn
pose $l2 license tax on each ma
chine. 1t was estimated by county
officials there were over 1000 PIN
ball devices in the county Uncon-
tirmed reports put the present fig
ure closer to 1000.
OF the total, about 1893 machines
were covered by Federal gaming
stamps, each costing $3.50, for the
1867 fiscal year.
q. Where were the 39S devices
located?
A. A recent check of Internal
Revenue Service files in Baltimore
by The Star showed that, at one
time or another since July /, 1866.
the 1913 machines for which Federal
gaming stamps were obtained were

payers requirements is being done
under present law. There are some
more long-range studies going on,
too.
For example, IRIS experts are
analysing returns of all nonbusi-
ness taxpayers to determine what
minor law or regulation changes
might be needed to clear the way
for still more people to use the
short form. Mr.. Mcclure thinks
it possible that as many as an
additional 20 million taxpayers
could use the punch card returns
without major tax policy changes.
Still another plan. considered at
the Treasury and on Capitol Hill,
would do away entirely with tax
returns by persons whose entire
income, except perhaps for $50 or
$500, is covered by wage withhold
ing. Under this plan, the familiar
W. form, on which employers
report Withholding, would be con-
sidered the taxpayers return.
