LETS GO HOME AN’ COOK ONE, SAML / COUNCIL ASKED T0 PURGE CARD GAMES IN CITY Complaint of Harvey Fry Is Referred by Mayor fo Police Committee A complaint against alleged “pub- lic gambling” in Juneau was made last night to the Juneau City Council by Harvey Fry by letter| Harry 1. Lucas to the Police com- mittee. The matter was referred by Mayor Harry I. Lucas and in person. Fry's letter follows: “It is my wish as a citizen of Ju- neau to submit to yourselves an spinion regarding the local public pambling situation. “Might I say that gambling is something to which I am not op- posed as a matter of principle. How- ever, if a thing is presented to the public as a game when instead of a game it is a racket, then it is some- thing to which I am most heartily opposed. * Called Racket “Poker, as it is played in Ju- neau'’s public card rooms, is a racket —there can be no denying that. The sucker in these games cannot win and indeed he is not supposed to. Many a Juneau wage earner has for- fcited not one of his pay checks, but many of them to the profes- sional gamblers who operate and promote the games. If that is the result that is desired—rather than that a nfan’s income be used to| mect his henest obligations and to be laid aside for a rainy day—then no change can he asked for in the| setup whatsover. “In my opinion, the literal cn—l forcement of the gambling laws so| as to prohibit gamblirg entirely | that may be it is also true that hu- | man beings all have their weakness- and that even those not blessed with commen sense are still en- titled to the protection of the law “Upon presenting this matter tc the city police and to the U. S. Mar- shal I have been teld that to stop the poker games I should swear out complaints against the operators, personally. My reasoning, however, s that sirce we have officers paid for that very purpose who can see | the games operate without han-| drance why can't they present the | evidence just as well as I can. Such | procedure would’ be only common ! where the law violation is open. | “The games are outside the law! and they are against the better in- | terestsr of the community so why should they be allowed to operate?”| - ———— OLSON CHECKING PICKLING, OYSTER, | (RAB OPERATIONS Minor fisheries enterprises of | Boutheast Alaska, most of them still in the experimental stage, are being investigated on the ground this weekend by Fishery Management Supervisor - Clarence Olson of the Fish and Wildlife Service. 1 Leaving here on the patrol vessel Brant last night, Olson was to lopk into the crab operations of O. H. Wood at Hoonah and the pickled salmon -enterprise of *O. G. Nolde at the same port. Yesterday the Brant visited the new oyster beds of Jabine Smith at Admiralty Cove. J.
