THE WELCOME MAT
FOR RACKETEERS

We must realize that when we are
talking about gambling, we must face
the fact that wherever it gains a foot
hold, the racketeering and criminal
elements of our society will inevitably
become involved in some way. Gam
bling is disease which corrupts peo-
pie, and therefore must be fought like
any disease.
More than 10 years ago, Thomas
Dewey as Governor of New York de-

structure on the weaknesses of it's
people doesn't deserve to survive.
Other factors involved in areas where
legalized gambling exist include a
high rate of embezzlement by those
who need to replace money lost, the
reluctance of industry to locate in
areas where gambling is widespread,
and the inevitable invitation to cor
ruption which gambling offers to pub
lie officials.
The president of the Montana As
ISOLATION for LOCALIZED Gambling is
a resident of Butte. This brings to
mind question: Is it only coincidence
that the pattern of city-county finan-
cial difficulties and law enforcement
problems in that area includes a
"closed-eyes'' policy toward gambling
devices periodically available to the
public?

NO JUSTIFICATION FOR
OPTIMISM

Included in the article is a study
of the economic resources of the st.
Louis metropolitan area for survival
of the period of isolation which could
be expected if the city escaped a
direct hit. Kicker finds that if isola-
tion were the only problem, and if
additional medical supplies were
stored in the area, this region might
survive ON an austerity standard of
living from six to eighteen months
without help from the rest of the
country. However, taking into con-
sideration more realistic situation,
involving probable fallout and refu-
gees from destroyed areas, there is
no justification for optimism about
local survival prospects, even for an
area as self-sufficient as ST. Louis.
"The implicit assumption made
by the studies of national recovery
that this period of isolation would
be successfully completed without
substantially affecting national re-
covery possibilities is clearly with
out foundation" he says.
The NUCLEAR INFORMATION
study, sixth in series ON nuclear
war and civil defense, also points out
that every city has it's own special
problems, and that the results of the
st. Louis study would not be apple
able elsewhere.

| Inc next argument Is O1Cen ac-
cepted by people who would not favor
gambling on another basis and goes
something like this: Gambling is a
good means of raising money for the
support of charity and even churches
The idea is that offering prize for
peoples generosity will increase their
giving and that gambling controlled
by church or charity will not have
its profits misdirected.
A part of this reasoning lies be-
hind the support of some legalized
gambling when a part of the profits
are given to some worthy cause. Such
causes almost always are for chill
dren's or youth work of some type
Thus to oppose the gambling puts
one in the apparent position of being
opposed to the worthy cause! How
ever, such contributions to worthy
causes usually represents a small pro-
portion of the profits.
To get back to the main argument,
it should be unthinkable for church
to sponsor gambling for it's own fl
nancial support. According to the
New Testament, we are to give to
Gods work out of love for God and
concern for the genuine needs of
other people. To introduce the motiva-
ton of personal gain through gam
bling while contributing to the
church, is to compromise the Chris
tian witness of the church and to put
it in the position of condoning the
association with legal
and illegal gambling.
SUCH AS CARNIVALS
If charity or a civic or fraternal
group cannot gain sufficient support
On its own merits how can it be justi- |
liable to sponsor gambling which con-
tributes to the deterioration of peo-
Die? Frequently groups will use the
services of an outside agency or

GAMBLING INVOLVES
NO CREATIVE EFFORT,

A second argument is that all of
life is gamble, therefore game
of chance involving money is no more
immoral than investing time. money,
and effort in the game of life. But
the efforts of the rancher or of the
conscientious stockbroker, to name
two examples are not the moral equiv
alent or risking money in a game of
chance. There is NO creative effort
or genuine skill involved in gambling,
which offers gain far out of proper
ton to the investment. Certainly no
Christian can say that all of life is
gamble, for life is in the hands of
God, who loves us and cares for us
and who has made known His eternal
purposes for us in Jesus Christ. To
say that life is a gamble is blasphemy.
Many will say that gambling is in
stinctive, that people are going to
gamble no matter what you do, so it |
may as well be legalized. Let's con-
troll gambling, then the state can get |
taxes, and other profits can be used |
to provide needed public services.
The answer is that gambling is not
instructive. In Massachusetts, the
Crime Commission has shown that
an important racket
TO the underworld, did not exist as
a crime worthy of mention until pari-
nutuels were legalized. LOCALIZED
oari-mutuel betting not only leads
20 increase of legal betting at the
rack, but also to the growth of IL
egal off-track betting. 1t is at this
'oint where the underworld elements
tep in.

A brief item in the Helena INDIE
PENDENT RECORD for Monday,
March 4, could point to a full-scale
controversy for Montana in the fu-
ture. 1t seems that we have a new or
ganization in the state-The Mon
tana Association for LOCALIZED Gam
bling, said to have 5000 members.
According to the report, the organi-
cation is circulating in every Mon
tana county petitions calling for the
repeal of anti-gambling laws.
There is much confusion and I'M
clear thinking on the subject of gam
bling, and semi-plausible arguments
lead many people to think that it can
be harmless and even beneficial.
Studies show that close to $50 billion
year are spent in our nation on
gambling and some estimates indicate
that Americans spend more on gam
bling than on national defense.
INVITES CORRUPTION"
The arguments in favor of legal
lied gambling are time-worn, but
still seem to have an appeal. One is
that gambling is merely amusement.
Those who accept this argument must
be ignoring the fact that our nations
is financed largely by
public gambling. Investigations by
the FBI, the Internal Revenue Ser
vice, the Post Office Department and
other federal agencies show beyond |
all doubt that the agencies of cor
ruption and racketeering in the
United States receive the bulk of |
heir income through the gambling
IF the American public. While an
occasional private bet is hardly in
he category of big-time gambling,
t is difficult to see how a conscien-
,ious Christian or any conscientious
citizen could justify his gambling as
/ personal amusement in the face of
his kind of evidence. LOCALIZED gam
,ling invites corruption.
A recent Saturday Evening Post
lrticle on Youngstown, Ohio, relates
hat a variation of the numbers
anne" is the most lucrative racket,
.rossing up to So million per year
With most bets no larger than a I
.uarter. The article states that this
5 a ''prize the racketeers consider {
7orth killing for''. t
Can Christian who accepts re-
for stewardship of time,
alent, and treasure use these gifts g
f God in gambling, when his win s
ings are gained at the loss of others?
