Will State Police Stop Gambling? By Frank A.

It is the big league operations with tenacles in differ pnt parts Os the state that siphon otf millions of dollars' from suckers who play the games. Gov. Henry F. Sehricker stopped plans to reactivate clog racing at Jeffersonville and gambling at French Lick. He believed if you put a nickle in a slot machine you should get at least 5c back. It doesn’t work that way. However. Frank McHale, who was Democratic National Commit-

teeman, was more liberal. He told me Democrats lost a state election by trying to put-a tight lid on in the big cities. From the 1940S on, the policy that has been easiest and followed by Governors, has been not to permit State Police to hit gaming unless specific request comes from the Prosecutor or local officials. A figure who made a million dollars in Lake County told me that if gambling exists in a community the local officials m list know it docs and most often be in on it. This easy policy of having State Police look the other way when they encounter gambling, is embarrassing to the police. Indiana State Law makes gambling illegal and each State Trooper takes an oath to u p h o 1 and and enforce the laws.. IT IS EMBARRASSING in other ways. Gov. Harold Handley, for instance, a Republican, followed the policy of not sending state troopers until the local authorities asked for t h e m where gambling was amok. In Terre Haute J the biggest horse-betting establishment, patronized by movie stars, and nationaL figures, ran four full years on Main Street. Federal authorities stepped in to get a pound of flesh in way of taxes on gaming receipts and sent a bunch of big leaguers to prison. Mayor Ralph Tucker of Terre Haute and Gov, Handley expressed surprise at the gambling operation of such magnitude. It was “embarrassing to say the least.” and, they told me so. What happens under the “look the other way” policy is that some authorities enforce state gambling laws, while others see. hear, and say nothing, Indiana has Schizophrenia, as far as gambling |is concerned. State law says' gambling is illegal. Yet. the Federal government sells gambling stamps and collects thousands upon thousands of dollars in taxes, from, gambling take. The gambling fraternity the big leaguers do not overlook Uncle

Sam's hand. Internal Revenue Service agents, channeled information through U. S. Commissioner Wilbur J. Clendenning, Hammond, to U. S. District Attorney Richard P. Stein, Indianapolis. 94 agents from Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and Michigan, hit gambling spots in Gary, Hammond and one in Portage. Five autos and $15,000 in cash were seized and 15 persons arrested. They will appear before a U. S. Commissioner in Indianapolis and could draw fines up to SIO,OOO on each charge, plus a year in prison. I have covered Robert A. O’Neal the present State Police Superintendent, throughout his public career. He was Schrieker’s police head. O’Neal, and I know whereof I .speak, was fired by an incoming governor because the governor’s associates were not sure he would look the other way if a prominent party member got in a jam and a little fixin’ need be done. Under anew policy, State Police say they will crack dowrn on gambling wherever found. This, it is understood will be done, even il local authorities do not ask help. Reportedly O’Neal has not discussed this new. hard boiled policy with Gov. Branigin. Branigin’s only comment was that O'Neal is the state police superintendent and makes policy for his department. Maj. Cecil Melvin, state police executive officer, said the department is functioning ] “as a 100 G law- enforcement agency.” My prediction as a columnist is, stormy days for big league gamblers in Indiana.

EDITOR'S OUTLOOK DEGREES OF MADNESS By JENKIN LLOYD JONES THE world could use a thinkometer —a device for measuring human brain-power. It might consist of two electrodes, one for each ear, and a galvanometer with a needle that would point to Perfect, Potent, Passable, Punk or Putrid. So far. no such gizmo has appeared and we are reduced to trying to assess thinkability by a number of suspicious devices that sometimes give a wholly wrong result. ONE, which is currently ijuinjng undergraduate education in America, is the effort to judge professors by what they have published. The rationale is that this permits deans to see which professors are really.thinking and which are just putting in time. The trouble is that deans rarely have time to read these efforts, which is often lucky for the deans. But the scribbling prof gets the promotion. and a born teacher can be discouraged and sometimes even fired. Another peculiar index of professorial excellence is the research fellowship. America is busting with foundations set up by the bequests of industrial tycoons who generally didn’t finish high school. /Snd the foundations have chucked so many research grants around that any professor w i t h a' little pull who would rather doodle around a laboratory than meet classes or grade papers has a cinch. The result is that in the great universities more and more quiz sections are being taught by graduate “assistants” who are usually just one chapter ahead of the class. No wonder students riot and carry dirty signs. BUT. of all these idiotic efforts to measure brainpower, none has been so abused as the graduate degree. Four out of five of this year’s Ivy League seniors will enter graduate school in September. Although regular college enrollment in America has doubled since 1955, the enrollment in graduate schools has gone up twice as fast. The theory is that if you don’t have at least a masters you're still in kindergarten. Some of this rush is an effort to stay in school until one is be\ond .draft age. Young men who do that are naturals for angry “teach-in” on Viet Nam. Others ar,e comfortable in a college environment, have no money worries, and hate to cut the unbilical cord. One callow Cornell youth is quoted in the June 11 issue of LIFE magazine as follows: "No matter what I do, I'll be making 25 or 35 thousand dollars a year when I get out of graduate school, because by that time I'll be about 30 and I'll probably be married and have a couple of kids and they'll have to pay me that much because I'll need it." There’s an eye-blinker for those of us who got out of college in the early 1930 V and tramped around looking for 20 bucks a week. EMPLOYERS are largely at fault for promoting degree fever. The vast Federal bureaucracy is an uncritical hirer of men in open robes. And private industry, which should know better, often thinks it gains status if it starts interviewing men at the masters level. In arts and letters, and inexact sciences like education and socioi-

Visit With Man Who's Unhappy In Retirement By Frank A. White YESTERDAY i had a brief visit with a vvideiy known person who had a lifetime as an educator and lawmaker, who is quite unhappy with retirement. He said in substance that to have the “know how” in his field and the life and strength to work, that to be idle was to him a sin. The years slip by quickly, and many of my friends find it very difficult to adjust to retirement and the role of a senior citizen. Dr. Wingate M. Johnson, wrote a prescription in the Indiana Medogv, the value of many graduate degrees is debatable. Masters theses on file in a southwestern university include such titles as: “The Organization and Administration of a Girl Scout Day Camp rear Nacogdoches," “The Problem of Communication in the Primary Sunday School,” “The Effect of Weight Training on the Vertical Jump of Secondary School Basketball Players,” and “A Study of Neiman-Marcus Advertising in The Dallas Morning News." THERE is beginning to be a suspicion that the academic establishment. fearful of cheapening t h e cash value of its own graduate degrees. sometimes harasses graduate students beyond the limits of intellectual discipline in an effort to discourage them. A highly articulate young lady in east Texas recently wrote me a long letter describing how her dean told her that a system had been set up to test the graduate student's “frustration level” to insure that only dedicated scholars got degrees. In her case.- she said, the frustration level was a honey. Her six advisers quarreled with each other over the thesis index, the headings, even the weight of the paper. And after four semesters, during which her professors kept getting “new insights’’ requiring her to repeatedly rewrite her work, she gave up. A university president in Wisconsin told me angrily this month that deans sometimes delay the approval of graduate students’ theses for a semester or two so that they can get free use of the students laboratory assistants. And a sad lady in New York State has sent me her rejected masters thesis on art. It is a fine job, maintaining that art is communication, an and that where daubs and squiggles don't mean anything to intelligent viewers, they probably don’t mean anything at-all. Her thesis board, composed of. squigglers. threw it out as “unscientific.” WE HAVE gone degree crazy in America. Employers had better not overlook the kid who grabs his bachelor’s and can't wait to get off his old man's back and come to grips with the world. Such a lad, rather than the academic hothouse flower, is mosl likely to make a future Chairman of the Board. CT-.M, WRR. Gen. Fea. Corp.)

ical Journal for growing old gracefully. It is just as good a prescription for today, and for tomorrow, as when he wrote it. Here are the seven rules: 1) Recognize that the mind should be at its best when a person is about 40 years and should continue to be efficient to the age of 70. or more. Organic changes in the brain do not necessarily parallel mental changes. The mind which is properly trained does not lose its elasticity and constant use of the brain helps its efficiency. 2) Avoid being an old “fogey" by frequent association with young people. Prepare for occasional shocks, but try to understand youth's viewpoint. 3) Learn to delegate authority and to unload responsibility upon \o linger and more enthusiastic shoulders. 4) Cultivate wide interests. Learn new uses for hands, and brain, and exchange more strenuous amusements for other less strenuous. 5) Keep in touch with old friends and make new ones to avoid loneliness. (i) Cultivate a habit of looking forward, rather than backwards. 7) Cultivate equanimity, th e mental poise that keeps one from being unduly elated or depressed. By doing these things one should be able, to grow old gracefully. It has been my observation as a columnist that it takes about two years for one to adjust himself to changing i oba or to retirement. When once so adjusted my friends would not think of returning to the old life and find means to enjoy themselves. IT IS UNDERSTANDABLE to me how a number of persons could be critical of President Johnson and many of his policies including handling the Vietnam war. It is difficult for me to understand the violent dissension of U.S. Senator Wayne L. Morse (D-Ore-gon) lawyer, farmer, educator and former soldier, that goes so far as public statements regarding impeachment to remove the President. Who are the people that Senator Morse says he talked to who are demanding impeachment of the President? He certainly hasn't talked to those that those conducting the major public opinion polls have talked to. The Quayle Poll, a private survey showed only 59< to say we should toss in the sponge, get out of Vietnam and turn free peoples over to the communists. Os 1.534 persons questioned by the Gallup poll, 55G said that the U.S. is handling the Vietnam situation as well as could be expected. Others had suggestions as how to better win the war. American boys fighting and dying in Vietnam should not have to fight a two front war. those who give a wrong impression to our enemy on the home front, and the Viet Cong overseas.
