Says Move May Be
‘Wonderful Lesson’
Jack Mcintyre, state commander of the American Legion. gaid today the “junking” of slot
machines and other gambling equipment may be a “wonderful lesson” to fraternal and social groups.
“It may put us back where our people will get out and work once
again to raise money another way.” Financial Blow He said, the banning of- onearmed bandits as ‘’ordered on a statewide basis Wednesday by Gov. Schricker was a big
financial-blow to many posts with new homes which were ‘more or less” depending on slot machine revenue to meet mortgage payments. He said a way to raise money must be found if the Legion is to continue its charitable work. McIntyre said much gambling equipment already had been removed from Legion clubhouses to comply with Gov. Schricker’s order, and that he ordered other posts to co-operate with the ban. Ban ‘Too Stiff’ L. A. Krebs, South-Central District vice president for the Elks Lodge, said the ban on slot machines was too stiff. “I think people are entitled to play slots if they don’t take money out of the kitchen to play them.” He said the Elks, as well as other lodges, did many charitable things the public doesn’t know about. He disclosed that Elks groups here already cancelled
plans to give $500 each to two|
Indianapolis hospitals. “We won't be able to raise dues, either,” he said, ‘for people already are complaining about them. “You must have some kind of revenue raiser people enjoy,” he lamented.

When The Times learned Mr. Walsh was a potential top winner, the family was invited to visit the editorial office at the time the race was run—9:15 a, m. (Indianapolis Times). Mr. and Mrs. Walsh brought along James, 10; Margaret Ann, 7; Joseph, -5, and Mary Kay, 2. “A Nice Dream” The children are Irish to the core, what with their father’s undiluted Hibernian ancestry and their mother's maiden name — O'Brien.
