First Arrest Under I Anti-6ambling Law Tavern Owner Says / State Law Unfair INDIANAPOLIS UP —The first person arrested under the state’s new Hasbrook anti-gambling law protested today that he is innocent. James 11. Bookedis, 40, superib- • tendent of the city sanitation plant during former Democratic administrations and now a tavbm and restaurant owner, was arrested late Thursday when police confiscated three pinball machines from his restaurant. ' Bookedis, free on SI,OOO bond, i said he was being made a "test case" of the controversial law. He called it an “unfair law” and\ said he was “not guilty of gambling.” Marion county prosecutor Frank Fairchild said a warrant for Bookedis’ arrest was issued after a former waitress at the restaurant claimed "payoffs” were made to persons playing the. pinball machines, which were’declared illegal by the Hasbrook law. The anti-gambling law carries stiff and was passed by the 1953 legislature after much heated debate. Governor “Craig signed it into law despite an attorney general’s opinion it is unconstitutional. Craig said courts should decide that. Trade In a Good Town —Decaturl

Plenty \of weeds still remain to be clipped short but the conservation boys hope to have that done soon.

They hope some day to have many fishermen come |to the ponds instead of going n|orth to the lakes wheneverthey want to fish. They even built a dock on the northernmost pond for the convenience of fishermen who have boats. A short trip along Winchester Street extended will show how much work has been accomplished in only two weeks. For more than a quarter of a mile along the right of way of the G.

The work is being done out of the dollar a year dues paid by the members.

Grahame, the supporting actress winner from “The Bad and the Beautiful,” could only gasp, “Thank you very much.” So the plumpish Miss Booth, hurrying up the steps to the stage at a remote-control Oscar ceremony ‘in New York, became the star of the evening when she tripped on the hem of her flowing gotgn hnd dropped nearly to one knee. “I want to thank my old friends for their faith, my new friends for .their , hope and everyone for their charity,” she beamed, and held the .Oscar statuette above her head while the audience applauded. “It’s been a long climb — this Is the peak.” . Miss Booth won the award for her first movie role, that of a dowdy housewife in the film version of her stage success, “Come Back, Little Sheba.'* Her victory and that of Cooper, a previous winner for “Sergeant York,” in 1941, was expected. i Composer Dimitri TibmkinJ \was another double winner, taking awards for the best ' song, “High Noon,” with lyricist Ned Washington. and for the best scoring of a dramatic picture, “High Noon.” ’ After three anovie studios withdrew their financial support of the awards, RCA picked up the tab by baying >250,000 to televise the Oscar ceremony.
