opening statement was in
the trial of Jimmy Hines, a
powerful Tammany leader
charged with protecting the
numbers racket.
He told the story of the
numbers operation in great
detail, how the number was
determined by adding the
prices paid for the first three
horses in the first three races
at a designated track.
He told how the numbers
operators, even the big ones,
were rather irresponsible in
this: They didn't keep proper
reserves. And there was no
way of laying off, of balanc-
ing their books, when a
certain number was heavily
played by the public.
He told about Abba Dabba,
a gambler who was a light
ming calculator. He convinced
he big operators that he
could go to the track and
make last-minute bets that
would avoid hot numbers

legislative Initiative
Urged in Maryland
Assembly Gets
Petition Plan
For Citizens
BY PAUL HOPE
Star Staff Writer

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. GA con-
stitutional amendment which
would enable citizens to initiate
legislation was proposed today
by Delegate Paul B. Garbelman,
Democrat of Prince Georges.
1t is one of the most signifi-
cant bills to be offered in the
General Assembly this session.
and possibly could become one
of the most controversial.
1t would enable 10000 or
more citizens to go over the
head of the General Assembly
by petition and take their legis-
lative proposals directly to the
people through the ballot box.
For instance, it could give
the citizens the right to petit
ton for reapportionment legis-
lation and take it to the people
for a vote if the Legislature
turned it down. 1t also could be
used on issues like the contro-
versial public accommoda-
tons" legislation which would
prohibit racial discrimination
in hotels and restaurants.
Backs Voters Right
when the General Assembly
fails to act in response to the
public will. the people should
have an opportunity to act on
their own behalf" Mr.. Garbel-
man said.
He said his proposal would
take the Eastern Shore boys
off the hook on public &C.
commodations legislation by
allowing voters to decide the
issue on a Statewide basis.
Opposition to the public &C
commodations legislation has
been led by Eastern Shore law
makers, several of whom admit
privately that their votes are
based on what they think the
reaction will be among the
people back home. Some votes
on reapportionment-for which
: the urban areas have fought
for many years-fall into the
same category.
Plan Explained
Mr.. Garbelman said his plan
would work like this:
Citizens could draft legisla-
, ton and have it introduced in
, the General Assembly providing
enough signatures were at
tached. If the Assembly turned
it down or refused to act, the
legislation would go to the
people for approval or rejection.
Mr.. Garbelman said his bill
would provide that the initia-
tive petitions would have to
contain twice as many sigma
lures as are needed for referen-
dunn petitions. The referendum
petitions now require 10000
signatures but the General As
sembly probably will increase
that number under legislation
currently before it.
The referendum procedure
gives the people the right to
petition to a vote any bill passed
by the General Assembly. This
is essentially a protest proce-
dure which can be used against
the General Assembly, whereas
the initiative plan allows the
people actually to propose leg
islation on their own.
Several States have both
initiative and referendum pro-
cedures. Mr.. Garbelman said
tht 81 States have the initia-
tive process.

WAXEY GORDON was in
dicted for evasion of income
tax. The T-man who had
gathered the evidence staged
a press conference. He told
the reporters quite a bit
about Waxey's affluence.
Waxey had moved into a
luxury apartment on West
End avenue, New York. 1t
contained oriental rugs, a
grand piano and Tiffany
lamps. 1t was the bookcase
that was Waxey's pride.
1t wasn't that he relaxed
by browsing, by taking down
volumes of Walter Pater or
ProHst. What fascinated him
was that all you had to do
was to press a button and
the bookcase turned around
and became a bar.
That made page one.
A few days later Irstopped
in on the man who was to
prosecute Waxey, Thomas e.
Dewey.
Mr.. Dewey, whose appear
ance has not changed great
ly in the ensuing three dec
AIDES, was furious. Not with
the reporters or with the
press, but with the T-man.
IT was saving that story
for my opening statement to
the jury. Stories like that
help to get them interested
in the case you are about to
prove"
Mr.. Dewey's prosecution of
Waxey was a masterpiece OF
visual presentation - the
convincing technique de-
veloped by the advertising
agencies. He charted Waxey
into prison. There were
charts showing where the
beer was dropped" where
the money was banked and
how it was spent on a Broad
way musical in which
Waxey's girl had a role and
on a hotel off Times Square
that was losing money al
most as fast as Waxey could
make it. Everyone was get
ting a cut of Waxey's take
except Uncle Sam.

The
Rambler
-. Recalls His
Days in Court
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

Anyone who has known
New Workers away from
home will find this hard to
believe - even those of us
who have met humble pill
grimS from the metropolis
in quest of Federal jobs.
But there was a time when
New York had an inferiority
complex.
That was in the roaring
,20S. The reason was on the
front page of the newspapers
from day to day.
Chicago, that rude, crude,
sprawling pork packer for
the world, had much more
interesting crime.
New York city editors,
managing editors and pub
fishers came to realize that
police reporters are impor-
tant. They (the editors) de-
nanded that the public be
informed of what was going
on in the metropolis, crime
wise.
The police reporters upped
with some interesting char
acters-Jack Legs Diamond,
Vincent Coll, Dutch Schultz
and a little fellow who had
started as a pickpocket -
Waxey Gordon.
Waxey had acquired a
brewery in Northern New
Jersey. He was crossing more
that 81 million a year. This
was during prohibition. It
was known that his opera
ton was under investigation
by a Federal grand jury.

Salan. the commander in chief
of the Secret Army.
Gen. de Gaulle also COM
muted the death sentence of
Andre Canal. the BLACK Mon
Iocle" of the Secret Army. who
also had been sentenced for
his terrorist activities.
Communication Of Gen. Jou-
haud's sentence had been ex-
pected since the special high
tribunal that sentenced him last
April subsequently let Gen.
Salsn. his superior, off with
life. Gen. Jouhaud. 57-year-
old former Air Force chief of
staff, was second in command
of the underground Secret
Army which waged an unsuc-
cessful terrorist war to prevent
Algerian independence.
After the Salan trial, Gen.
de Gaulle in fury abolished the
special high tribunal-made UP
of both military officers and
civilian judges-and in May
set up an all-military court to
judge Secret Army terrorists.
Gen. Salan was charged in
June with carrying out treason
able activities from his prison
cell, a charge that could bring
the death penalty If he is con-
victed.
Canal was the commander Of
and Algerian killer commando
group. His fate had been un-
certain since the Council of

istrative court, had ruled that
the government had over
reached its authority In set
ting up the special high tri-

Route 40 Presented
A Different Scene At
Puzzley Run In 1913

Motorists who complain of Route
40 today should have known it in
1913. when this weeks old photo
graph was taken
The scene is at the Pulley Run
bridge, looking west. Over the
mountain lies Keyscr Ridge, and
behind is Grantsville.
The highway. one of the principal
east-West traffic arteries. today
would be considered unsatisfactory
even as a country road. Paving of
the National highway, east from
Grantsville toward Frostburg, was
begun in 1912, but four years later
still had not been completed to-
ward the west.
In the picture. two vintage auto
mobiles are approaching the bridge,
and two Well-drcsscd gentlemen
seem to be enjoying the scene
from the large rock by the river.
Tho highway has since been re-
located at this point, and now runs
to the left OF the previous right-of-
way Travellers moving west on
Route 40 may still see the stone
bridge, now abandoned, to the right
of the highway between Grantsvillc
and Kcyscr Ridge.
The picture is another belonging
to J. Gordon Mealcy. who has con
