The new law which goes into effect tomorrow, will make search warrants unnecessary, Mr. Peden

“There are many phone calls for| re-|
information, but no formal quests for stamps yet,” he said.
Mr. Plummer pointed out gamblers have until Dec. 1, when fed- - eral enforcement is scheduled to start. He added federal officials here have not yet received the
stamps.
