Schricker Backed In War on Slots
First Indiana-Wide Crackdown in History
Indiana’s slot machines were
' fading out from Lake Michigan
to the Ohio River today as snowballing repercussions of Gov. Schricker’s state-wide anti-gam-bling ordegswere felt in most of the 92 Hoosier counties. Local officials, called by Gov. Schricker~ to take .the initiative in ridding the state of ‘‘onearmed bandits”. were’ promised
|state police support if gambling
wasn't halted in two weeks. ‘No Holds Barred’
State Police Supt. Arthur M. Thurston said troopers would enter the fight “with no holds barred” after a “definite policy” is adopted at an Apr. 19 state police board meeting. He said his men would assist in, carrying out the crackdown during the next few days. , Gov. Schricker’s order, met by numerous congratulatory calls, letters and telegrams, was ‘the first anti-gambling plan put into operation on a state-wide basis in Indiana history. County proseeutors followed suit with similar anti-slot edicts for their territories, sheriffs called for immedi-
late crackdowns and mayors
pledged their co-operation. Latest counties to announce their declarations of .all-out war on gambling were St. Joseph, Elkhart, Knox and Sullivan. Sullivan County Prosecutor John .K. Purcell ordered all gambling stopped immediately and sdid he was starting a “100 per cent clean-up.” He said the order was permanent and violators would be ‘prosecuted impartially.” Voluntary Action
In St. Joseph County—where more than 10 per cent of all the taxed slots in Indiana were in use—the ban was heeded voluntarily by several organizations.
|The devices were removed from
South Bend and Mishawaka private, fraternal and veterans’ clubhouses shortly after the Governor's order. ‘Sheriff Francis E. Thomas said at Vincennes thé machines would
be put out of business locally.
“Schricker won't have to send state police info Knox County to clean up gambling,” he said. “We'll confiscate all gambling devices found and file charges

3 Little Girls Who Weren't Here Are Found in Florida
Indianapolis Police Kept on the Hop
But ‘Positive’ Identifications Skip
It i= so easy to identify a photograph. Indianapolis police hopped, skipped and jumped over the city for 24 hours after a local hotel clerk and a bus statiori employee “positively identified” pictures of thrée little runaway girls from Pittsburgh. | They had never been here. The girls, Jody Kelley, 12; her| sister, Louise, 14, and Olive] Christman, 15, who ran away from home to ‘‘see the world before the atomic bomb,” were found last night in a Jacksonville, Fla., tourist camp. | They went there via bus from Columbus, O., after wrecking the| Kelly family car. They were| recognized by a truck driver who had seen their pictures in a| Pittsburgh newspaper. He noti-| fied Florida state police.
