Sees Opposite Effect. ment. “Because of lack of train service and the development of good roads, morn- ing newspapers are being forced to other channels for more economical distribution. “Newspaper publishers have sought no special favors from the Congress | during its consideration of the tax problem.

The bulk of the betting business, however. originates in the small towns or remote | Some of these bookmakers | hamlets. have established a ‘“chain” business, with offices or agents in every com- munity. Social workers have come to the conclusion that the legalizing of | betting was an error, as a craze for | betting has been spread over the entire country. ' - THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.
