But when it comes to "ob-Bcene entertainment" or "public gambling" our big shots are active and ballant. Mayor "Sweetcs" LaGuardia Is naturally the spearhead, is aided by his boss cop. Chief Valentine, and his license commissioner, Mr. Moss. Everybody is needled or belabored by various important pressure groups, and our town presents an ironic, amusing spectacle these days.

One dull, vulgar show called "Wine, Woman and Song" has already been forcibly closed by court action, though if let alone it would have died quickly and naurally. Several others are threatened with police action, including our two most successful musical comedies. Leading local showmen are rallying to prevent "political censorship" of the New York theater. LaGuardia. after a headlong attack on racehorse betting during which he suggested that little boys tell on their papas who play the bangtails, has now descended heavily on bingo, screeno and all variations of that numbered-card game that began so innocently as lotto about a century ago.

Screeno Is now banned in our movie houses. Herbert Asbury's book. "The French Quarter," says that the game, then known as keno. was so rampant in New Orleans In the eightccn-fiftics that the licensing of keno houses had to be stopped.

However, this opens up a subject that is too complex to be discussed here, involving sopping and other practices not mentioned by Emily Post.

While on the subject of corn products. I asked my southern informant what he thought about corn dodgers. "They ain't fit to eat," he promptly said. This was a great relief, for my own single experience led to the same painful conclusion. THIS experience occurred in a roadside restaurant not 500 miles from Oklahoma City.

The corn dodgers were the shape and size o( golf balls, and the same consistency. If I had had a brassie I could have driven one of them 200 yards down the road. Apparently they are made of nothing but corn meal and water. Since they were listed as food, however. I decided to eat them, corns what may.
