spurred a revivel of: police aritigambling activity Tuesday when he called two police officers ‘to testify in Criminal Court was marking time today. He declired to: reveal: what the next step would! be in. his “day by day investigation of gambling.”
Capt. Pcpe Called
The Prosecutor called Capt. Roy Pope into court yesterday afternoon and quizzed him in connection with testimony Tuesde y by Sergt. Charles Burkett that the captain had issued
orders not to riake arrests when confiscating punchboards. Sergt. Burkett. resuming the witness stand Wecnesday, denied he had received suc!i orders, saying his testimony of the previous -day had been “misunders:ood.” + He admitted he had talked ‘a little” to Capt. Pope after his earlier testimony. Capt. Pope deiied any knowladge of “certain” privileged punchboards in the city when questioned by Mr. Blue and he seid he thought that no punchboard; were being protected by polici. Shortly befor: Mr, Pope took the stand, Francis Jones, owner of the Pennsylvania Crill at 110 N. Pennsylvania St. sail he had receiv ‘ed a telephone call at noon yesterday threatening to wreck his place if he did any moe talking. | “ “This is a nolice sergent,’’ Mr. Jones said the caller declared, * ‘If we catch you cooing any more talking were going to wreck your place.” i No Previous Trouble
Mr. Jones had testified Wednesday that he had bought some punchboards fiom the Silent {3alesman Co. throuzh Otto Zendell. He said that al! ®he time he had bought from the Silent Sal¢sman Co. he had no: had any trouble.
It was only since he had refused to let a man ‘ho operated “around 29d and Talbot Sts.” put in| some punchboards that he had had any trouble, he suid. Capt. Pope then took the stand for about an /lour and a half, He immediately ¢lenied the testimony given Tuesdey by Sergt. Eurkett that orders hid been given at rot call not to mike arrests: when confiscating ‘punchbards. Capt. Pope read an order, jssued by Chief Miihael F. Morrissey on Dec. 18, reliéting to punchpoards. The order sa.d that the owngr of a place ‘in wlich punghboards - are, confiscated s! ould be slated. At the same time, Capt. Pope said he thouzht arrests. sholild not be made at all’ times and that Sergt. Burke t might not have violated his du y as an officer by not making arre;ts Saturday ‘when he took punch ijoards from 110 N. Pennsylvanic St. and 145 I. Dela~ware St. Says Conditions vary
“There ar: times when : would make an arrest on a misdemeanor and there are times When I wouldn't,” h: said. “If a gar.ing device is found in a place known to be a gambling house, then I think an arrest probably should be made. This is not always tru:—in the. case of an otherwise ri spectable place, for examp le. ”» Mr. Blue asked him if it were not depriving p:rsons of prope: ty without due process of law ii punchboards wer: taken without either a warrant or without an arr est being made. “1 would1’t consider it fo, in the case of a hHunchboard,” Capt. Pope replied. He was then asked if he knew that evideiice illegally seized could not be introduced in. courf. He said .1e knew that was so, but that confis:ated gaming devices were usually destrozed by court order and that that was getting rid of them. He said it at least | kept people from playing them.
“Matter of Evidente”
“When would you make an arrest in case of a misdemeanor?” Mr. Blue asked, “I'd , make an arrest when I thought T2ould make a case,” Capt. Pope said! “It’s a matter of having sufficient evidence, having information: having other witnesses. Sometime, if you don’ff make an arrest at frst, a better (ase can he made later.” Asked ‘3bout the tele phone call to Mr. Jones, Capt. Pope said he was sure; that no policeman had made the call. |

By DR. GEORGE GALLUP Director, American Institute of Public Opinion
PRINCETON, N. J., Jan. 17— One of the biggest issues of the|next few ‘months. 1s certain. to be
"7" It is-argued on the one hand, : that there is no Jue making il America an | “arsenal of deI mocracy” if, ow- | ing to British | shipping - losses in the Atlantic. our arms- anc w a r’ materials cannot be transported : across: the ocean to “the people ‘who: need
them most.
On the other hand, many experts
believe that sending American ships
with ‘these materials into the war zone will ultimately mean war.
Although the issue has not been fully debated -as yet, some indicatiori of the trend :of. public think-
ing on the subject: comes from a survey just completed by the Insti-
tute. The results obviously cannot
".|be takén as the public's final judg-
ment on the matter, since the issue is certain to be hotly Gebated in the future, The Institute, through a na-tion-wide interviewing. staff, put this question to a cross-section’ of the American voting public: “Since the English have lost many ships, they may not be able to come and get the war materials we make for them. If this proves to be the case, should American ships with American crews be used to-carry| war materials to England?” ‘ THe results' indicate ‘that public

What makes these results. especially interesting is their contrast with the results of a poll made in September, 1939—the first month of the European war. That survey found an ‘overwhelming desire among the American voters to keep U. 8. ships out of the war area. The issue was stated then as follows: “Should the United States allow American ships to carry goods anywhere, or should our ships be kept ‘out of the war zone?”’
The vote of those with opinions)
was: : September, 1939 Keep Ships Out of War Zone ....... ...0 i000. 34% " Let Them Go Anywhere. «es 16 The interviewers who conducted

This issue was put to persons who had voted in favor|gy of sending the ships, with the following resulf;: “If American ships and American crews are used to carry war mater-. ials to England, should these ships Je gunnien by our Navy while crossVote of Persons Who Favor Sending American Ships Navy Should Convoy These Ships
