500 Illegal PinbaIIs

l
ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 25.-Dele-
gate Hervey G.. Machen charged
today that practically all of the
pinball machine owners" in

tanned Federal permits to use the
devices for gambling.
Gambling with pinball ma

practically all of the estimated
500 pinball machines in the
county.
He said this must mean that
the machines are being used as
gambling devices, with payments
being made to players lover the

games or points.
SIS Fee Considered

ton in suggesting that "hypo-
crisy be removed" from a pro-
posal for the county to start Ii
censing pinball machines and
other amusement devices. The
county commissioners have pro-
posed a SIS license fee for such
devices.
If the county starts licensing
pinball machines, he said, then
those with Federal gambling
stamps should be labeled as gam
ing devices and ordered removed.
Once they buy a Federal
gambling stamp for a pinball
machine, it becomes illegal in
our county," Mr.. Machen de-
clared. "The county would be
tacitly approving gambling de-
vices if it starts licensing ma
chimes as amusement devices
when they have Federal gam
bling stamps.
Il don't want to legalize gam.
bling indirectly. My concern to
county licensing of pinball ma
chimes would be predicated on
their being genuine amusement
devices"

stamps would not be necessary
if the pinball machines were
ACTUALLY being used for amuse-
Iment only.
The Federal stamps cost $3.50
each.

City Planning
Move Pushed
.ByMcLaugh|in
Seeks Reoctivution
OF Commissioner
Advisory Council

Commissioner Robert E. Nc
Laughlin suggested today that
the means already are at hand
for meeting the "unitary plan
ming" objectives of Brig. Gen.
Thomas A. Lane. Engineer Com
missioner.
The two city heads have been
at odds over the role the National
Capital Planning Commission
should play in shaping the city's
future development.
Mr.. Mclaughlin. president of
the Board of Commissioners,
suggested that the little-known-
about Commissioners Planning
Advisory Council be reactivated.
II doubt that 2 per cent of the
District government personnel
knew Of the councils existence, +"
Mr.. Mclaughlin said.
He made the statement to the
Citizens Advisory Council which
heard his point of view after
listening two weeks earlier to
conflicting thoughts of Gen.
Lane on the subject Of planning.
Mr.. Mclaughlin has differed
both with Gen. Lane and with
former Commissioner Samuel
Spencer on how the city's plan
ming functions should be car
ried out.
Stand Broached Earlier
Gen. Lane told the council two
weeks ago he favored creation
of a separate agency, responsible
to the Commissioners, to carry
out the "unitary planning" for
the city while the NCPC would
serve merely as a co-ordinating
group for planning agencies in
the Federal and District gov
ernments and in surrounding
Jurisdictions in Maryland and
Virginia.
Last spring Mr.. Spencer sug-
geSted that the Commissioners,
instead Of the President, appoint
the five citizen members of the
planning commission.
Gen. Lane has described "uni-
tary planning" as that carried
out by "a body which is indie
pendent Of the departments OF
other interests concerned with
particular projects but which is
capable of developing and inte-
grated program for all interest
ed departments and agencies.
THE Commissioners Planning
Advisory Council" Mr.. McLaugh-
lin said, could carry out what
Gen. Lane calls 'unitary PLAN
ming.
IF the Planning Advisory
Council recommends a plan and
1.-THE NCPC files an adverse report
the commissioners still can in
clude the plan in their budget
I think you would, by that, have
unitary planning"
Statement Repeated
Mr.. Mclaughlin also repeated
a statement he made on a radio
program two weeks ago. He said
he would recommend that the
commissioners comply with Sec
ton z OF the law creating the
Planning Commission. That law
requires the commissioners to
submit the six-year public works
program to the planning agency
for review in the first quarter of
each fiscal year.
He reiterated his belief in
planning control at the Federal
level because the Government
has a major interest in the flu
lture development of Washington.
/ IF we had our own planning
commission in the District Gov
ernment and also had the
NCPC." he said, wed probably
find agreement very hard to get
at. We'd have to set up an arbi-
tor somewhere along the line"

What carbon-choked police

finally accomplished early this
morning in hating a fugitive
speeder in a stolen car.
Police Pvts. Calvin thinner
and Chrispen E. Preston of the
first precinct pulled abreast of a
1850 Ford on Thirteenth street
NV. near Logan circle. They
motioned the driver to the curb
He had one passenger.
But the driver. who later
turned out to be Robert j. Brown
%. of Al Rhode Island avenue
NV. gunned his motor and sped
north of Thirteenth street. He
went into Logan circle, a block
east on P street and then turned
south into Twelfth street. which
is one-way the other way.
The car kept going and the
police car, a 1857 Ford, kept try
ing to catch up. AS the cars
raced south on Twelfth street
past Pennsylvania avenue NV,
the fugitive was widening the
gap. Pvt. thinner, driving the
police car, looked at his speed
ometer and saw he was going
80 miles per hour.
At Twelfth street and Maine

into the rear of a stopped
tractor-trailer truck with Robert

lights and one stop sign and 81
other traffic violations (mostly
failing to slow" at each inter-

When police discovered the
automobile had been stolen they
charged both men with unau-
thorized use Of an automobile.
Brown told police he had taken
the car from the 1000 block of
North Capitol street a few hours
earlier because he had had "a
fight with my girl friend" and
was angry at her. The car be-
longed to Miss Alice Shiver, 43,

A man who admits to being
a perennial tourist, although
he's a Washington resident
himself, was at the Inaugural
Parade along with thousands
of others, taking pictures.
He noted a bulky man
roaming behind the specta-
tors along the line of march
and trying to edge his way
through to a position at the
front. The roamer failed at
one point, tried another,
failed again, and moved along
seeking a vulnerable spot.
AS he passed the man with
the camera, he muttered:
II don't know why I'm doing
this. / don't care anything
about this parade. I'm a

JUDGE OPENS way FOR
NAAcP APPEAL

A bill Of exceptions, as basis
for an appeal to the Georgia
Court of Appeals has been GER
titled by Judge Durwood T. Pye,
paving the way to appeal a $685.
600 fine levied last December
against the local chopter of the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People.
FINED LAST DECEMBER
The chapter was fined last
Dec. II at which time president
J. H. Calhoun was arrested, and
the chapters books ordered sub
mited to the state revenue CON-
mission.
The allegations made in the
bill of exceptions were not rev.
ealed, nor were the conditions
upon which it was certified.
The Atlanta NAACP came un-
der fire last fall, during a pc
riod when other chapters around
the nation were under attack.
It was alleged that the chapter
had refused to submit it's books
and records after they had been
requested by the revenue COM
mission.
The commission had held it
wanted lists of members also,
but only for purposes Of determ-
ing whether the organization
was income tax exempt or not.
GENERAL AIMS
The NAACP earlier held that
it would jeopardize the welfare
of members if their names were
released to force which admit
tedly were opposed to the gen.
eral aims of the organization.
It further held that pressure
could be brought upon such in
dividuals once their names were
made public.
The chapter submitted such
records as it had on hand after
the fine. However, the records
of members were kept in New
York. it was revealed

AYou can sure tell this is the

Negro people have to live like

ness because most of the bus
riders had come from sections
Of New York that looked like
this and solidarity because they,
more than anyone else, knew
how it felt to live under these
conditions.
About eleven O'Clock the bus
pulled into the station for food
and rest. Here were forty or
fifty buSseS from all parts of
the East, from churches, labor
unions, NAACP, and colleges.
Everyone was smiling at each
other, asking where they had
come from, how long they had
been travelling. There was no
pushing to get food or use the
