seriousness of the situation.
Il have no doubt that
gambling is an interstate oper-
alton and that very few book
makers are independent oper-
ators," the Senator says. 1T
is also becoming increasingly
clear that the profits from
gambling are the chief source
of income for organized crime.
Because gambling has been
left largely to local law en-
forcement, however, we do not
have too much authoritative
information on the exact or
ganization and method of oper-
alton of any nationwide
gambling syndicate"
Money Channeled Upward
"The overall picture looks
something like this" Miller
says. "The first man on the
totem pole is the bookmaker.
He has to get sufficient capital
and he has to have a place
to lay off bets. He can't oper-
ate without a layoff. banker"
That's right" Tierney says.
"A small bettor will take a lot
of bets on one side and he
has to lay off a portion. He
calls up a layoff bettor. There
are several top layoff bettors
operating in the millions of
dollars"
Thus the money is channeled
upward, authorities contend,
until a part of that small bet
an average working stiff made
on a sports contest is used for
more sinister operations.
There are fantastic amounts
of money involved" Miller says
"One fellow we know about
had a net $790,000 for the
year. And one of the most ap-
palling things I see is what
they do with those fabulous
sums of money. If you can get
a large shipment of narcotics,
the markup is really fantastic.
But like anything else, you
have to have the capital"
Senator Keating says the
situation is deplorable. There
are many indications that the
gambling fraternity will not
stop at anything" the Senator
says, including murder, to
keep things in line. There has
been considerable testimony

when you get into the
business of gambling, a sub

points out. "A bookmaker with

CHARLES TOWN, w. Va,
Jan. "a Hagerstown horse
player who sent a friend to the
Charles Town track to play a
twin double for him never will
forget New Years Day, 1862.
The anonymous bettor hit the
jackpot yesterday, sweeping the
twin double pool and pocketing
$20,627.80 for two dollars.
The fan who carried the
wager to the track for his
friend got a receipt for the
ticket from the track manage
ment and the valuable paste
board then was transferred to
the tracks safe. Lou Pondfield,
Charles Towns general mana
ger, said he will hold the ticket
until the bettor presents the re-
ceipt and fills out the neces-
sary papers for the Internal
Revenue service.
LOngshOts Come Home
A pair of longshots, one on
each end of the four-race par
lay, rocketed the payoff to the
largest here since the twin dou-
BILE, which involves picking the
fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth
winners, was introduced last
summer.
The big return also topped
any Bonanza at the neighbor-
ing Shenandoah Downs track
and is believed to be one of the
largest collected at Eastern
tracks on a single 50 invest
ment.
The magic numbers were
one-two-tWo-Seven.
Paul Diavolkis, who was born
in Greece and began his racing
career in Athens, had a big
hand in the twin double, riding
the first twoswinners. He drove
Noorlynne, a $34.20 upsetter, to
the wire first in the fifth race
and captured the sixth event
with Amplify, an $11 victor.
Prince Bonanza, piloted by
Calvin Stone, captured the
seventh race at $12. This win
ner eliminated all but IA tickets
in twin-double wagering.
Professor Sam, q $48 long
shot, ridden by Walter Her.
man, led all the way in the
eighth event to leave l3 ticket
olders in a slightly dazed state.
Intriguing Figures
The twin double payoff
board presented some intrig-
uing figures before the running
of the eighth race.
Only No. 4, Ginny R, was
left out by the twin double bet
tors. Had Ginny r won, all
holders of the IA tickets would
have collected $1.473.4o.
Four other fans had a chance
to hit the $20,627 80 in addition
to the winner. Silky Jet, who
finished second in the eighth
race, beaten only three-quarters
of a length. also represented 9
limit payoff, as did Mister Dou-
BILE o, Lavelle B, who was
fourth, and Friendly Jester.

There is considerable public
apathy which every prosecutor
must contend with. We find
that the same argument is re-
peatedly made to jurieS in
trials for bookmakers: If it is
all right for these people to
bet within the enclosure of the
race track, why isn't it all
right for my client to accept
wagers out side the enclosure?'

RamificatiOns Not Realized
Senator McClellan's Subcom-
mittee also touched on this
subject in it's hearings last
summer, as shown by this ex-
change:
Senator Erwin of North
Carolina: Ordinarily, mere
gambling is a misdemeanor.
Gordon A. Sarachan, chair
man of the New York State
Commission of Investigation:
That is right.
Senator Erwin: 1t stands very
low in the category of crime.
Isn't a lot of the problem, or
does not a lot of the problem
in this field arise out of the
fact that there is not a realiza-
ton on the part of many
judges as well as on the part
of the public generally as to
the ramifications of gambling?
Mr.. Sarachan: That is ex-
actly right.
Senator Erwin: And a lot of
these light sentences are given
because the judge does not really
realize the extent and the ma
ture and the ramifications of
the problem?
Mr.. Sarachan: That is cor
rect.
Chairman Senator Mcclellan
) All he thinks is that he is
committing a little misde-
meanor, as he sees it.

By this addendum, this writ e r

Winston Churchill and H er b e t

When Churchill, doughty leader
of the British empire, was just a
lad, he was the weekend guest of
one of England's leading families.
Their estate had a swimming pool
that attracted him and severa
companions. Always venturesome,
Winston dared to go beyond his
depth and his ability to swim and
was about to drown. Sensing his
desperate plight his companions
called frantically for help. The
son of the gardener happened to
be nearby. A competent swimmer,
in a desperate struggle h e
managed to pull Winston from the
water and to save his life Quite
naturally, his parents, Lord Ran
dolph Churchill and his American
born wife, the former j Jenn e
Jerome of New York, were deeply
grateful. AS a tangible expression
Of their appreciation, they assumed
the cost of the education of the
gardeners son whose ambition it
was to become a physician. After

lads ambition was realized He
did become a doctor and one of
considerable distinction.
