A controversy which has been
simmering for two weeks over
withdrawal of the. Political
Study Club from the District
Federation of Women's Clubs
erupted briefly yesterday at the
groups monthly meeting at the
Washington Club
The president, Mrs. Mccall
Henderson lines, declared dis
cuSsion Of the issue was out Of
order, however. and was upheld
by the parliamentarian, Mrs.
Francis B. Appellee.
Loud applause broke out
when Mrs. Stuart E. Womel-
dorph. former parliamentarian
Of the club and a past fedora
ton president. succeeded in
getting the floor to ask the
reasons for withdrawal which
was by action of the board.
Mrs. Womeldorph first at
tempted to speak after the
clubs resignation was an
nounced by Mrs. lines following
an address by Senator Stennis,
Democrat of Mississippi.
Gains Floor
But 1t was several reports
later. and after an assist from
the hospitality chairman, Mrs.
Virginia Rollwage Collier. that
she gained the floor.
Mrs. Collier also was ap-
plauded when she arose to
suggest" to the president that
"you recognize Mrs. Womel-
dorph at this time
In her brief announcement
Mrs. lines said the board voted
unanimously to withdraw from
the federation "in the best IN
tereStS' OF the club.
When Mrs. Womeldorph
asked why the membership had
not been asked to vote on the
question, Mrs. lines asserted
that management of the affairs
of the club is vested in the
board by the constitution and
bylaws.
Mrs. Womeldorph, noting
that she had served as parlia-
mentarian for two years, ex-
pressed the opinion that
greater cooperation is achieved
when the wishes Of members
are made known on questions
of such importance.
Ruling Given
Mrs. lines maintained. how
ever, that members can trans
act business only at the annual
meeting in May.

alive Powell that more Negroes
than white men have been arrested
in Harlem is true. But this is
explained by the police as follows:
Eighty-two per cent Of those
arrested on numbers gambling
charges in Harlem last year were
Negroes. This approximates the
Negro percentage of Harlem's
population.
However it is also true that the
Negro bankers who once controlled
numbers gambling there have
either been driven out by the white
racketeers or now are working
for them.
The policy game is the simplest
and most popular form Of gamb-
ling in New York City. It is the
most difficult for the police to
control, as well as the one offer
ing the most opportunity for police
graft.
Betting on the numbers is a
poor mans hobby. Wagers are
for small amounts-many for as
low as a nickel or a dime, al
though occasionally an affluent
player may invest 500 on a num-

Der. In the most common form Of
policy gambling in this city, the
player places his bet on any COM
bination Of three numbers. He
wins in the three numbers he has
chosen correspond to three num-
bers appearing in the same order
in a previously designated portion
of the days parimutual betting
total at selected race track.
The police and New York pros
ecutors estimate that about $780,
900 persons in the metropolitan
area play the numbers each day
and that they wager about $10,-
600, 900 year.
The usual payoff is at 600 to
/ odds. However, the player US
ually gets only 500 to 1, the re-
naming 100 being kept as COM
mission by the man who took his
bet. In addition, the policy oper-
ators lower the DDS further on the
most popular numbers and those
that have won most frequently.
Actually, the player should receive
500 to odds, because that repre-
sents the number of possible WIN
ming combinations.
There is a business hierarchy in
the conduct of numbers gambling.
Low man in the operation is the
runner" often an elevator oper-
ator, doorman, an orderly in a
large hospital, a worker in a fac
tory or office, housewife or just
a plain out-of-work guy who picks
up bets from customers on his
beat. Players also can make their
wagers in candy stores, bars, res
taurants and other retail establish
ments, known as Crops"
Bets made with runners and at
drops are picked up by an en-

ploye called collector. He brings
the slips with their bets to a con-
troller, who can be likened to the
branch manager Of a bank. The
controller in turn delivers the slips
to the bank" which is headquar-
tiers Of the betting ring.
The banker may be powerful
individual operating on his own or
the representative Of syndicate.
Today most numbers banks in New
York are controlled by an Italian
syndicate. An average bank does
about $4,000 a week business.
The large ones average 100000.
Bank locations are changed reg
ularly to avoid police detection.
The runners and drop employees
receive a percentage-usually Is
to 20 per cent-of the money bet
with them. (They also get cut
of any lucky clients payoff.) They
are paid by the controller, out Of
his IS percent of the take. The
remaining 65 per cent goes to the
banker, who puts up the capital
for the operation and takes care
of the graft payments. In addi-
ton to the field men, the policy
ring personnel includes clerks and
bookkeepers who work in the bank
tallying the bets and pay-offs.
There are also security members
Of the ring whose main job is to
circulate in the vicinity of con-
trollers' branches and the banks
on the lookout for the police.
Gambling and vice investiga-
tions in New York City are ham
died solely by plainclothes police
men. There are 457 of the depart
ment's 23,897 policemen assigned
to this work. Because of the graft
temptations to which the plain

clothes men are exposed, they are
subjected to periodic shake-ups.
Such a wholesale housekeeping
took place in 1868, when the en-
tire Harlem plainclothes division
was transferred as a result of brib-
cry disclosures.
Despite the strict disciplinary
regulations imposed by Police
Commissioner Kennedy, policy
gambling continues to increase.
This is indicated by arrest figures.
There were 9,459 policy arrests
in 1856; II POS in 1857, and 1922
in 1868. For the first IL months
of 1869, the total was 1880. A
projection indicates that last years
gambling arrests were higher than
those in 1858 or any other previous
year. These figures are construed
by most observers as rejecting in
creases in gambling rather than
improved police work.
