"Following the published reports of wide-open syndicated gambling in Madison County, I received positive proof that Forkeyville Nite Club and The Sandbar were common gaming houses, and upon the failure of Sheriff Ogle to enforce the antigambling laws, I swore out a complaint against their operators. It is now common knowledge that these joints are operating in order to build up a fund to assist Sheriff Ogle in his desperate scheme to defeat me.

"As soon AS I received reports that wide-open gambling had been resumed in Madison County, and that Sheriff Ogle had made no effort to enforce the gambling laws or prosecute the operators of these joints. I obtained the assistance of a reliable licensed private investigator, Delbert A. Landers, of Granite City to Investigate. He reported to me that on Friday night, Oct. 19, he visited three reputed gambling joints in Madison County.

They were Domino's located two blocks East of the Alton city limits; The Sandbar, located one mile east of the Alton city limits; and Forkeyville nite club, located a mile north of Alton on Rt. 140. "At Domino's, a black jack game was operating and poker was being played; but the craps table was not then being used. At the Sandbar, black jack and poker were being played but the craps table was not being used. At Forkeyville, black jack and poker were being played, and there was no visible crap table.

"On Saturday, he returned and was able to take the accompanying photographs of the poker and black jack games at the Sandbar.

"If I become the state's attorney of Madison County, these joints and all others like them will be closed and out of No Boosters for Roosters TALLAHASSEE, Fla.

GUILD EDGE is the hat for you $20 Adlai Aims At Bedrock Issues By JACK BELL, CHICAGO (P-Adia) 1 E. Stevenson turned to what his aides called "bedrock issues" today as he prepared to fly to New York City on a final nonstop drive of presidential campaigning. The Democratic nominee put foreign policy and his own GOP-opposed proposal to move toward the banning of hydrogen bomb tests at the top of the list for discussion. He WAS expected to expand in A ance tonight on what he said MonMadison Square Garden appear: day was the "real issue" involved in an exchange of letters be tween President Eisenhower and Soviet Premier Nikolai A. Bulganin.

Stevenson said the 1s- sue is: "What we are going to do to save the world from hydrogen disaster." Aides said Stevenson will also concentrate in the final two weeks on these subjects: Alleged GOP favoritism to big business at the expense of the little fellow, or, as Stevenson puts it, "General Motors vs. Joe Smith;" a vote for Eisenhower is a vote for Vice President Nixon; the high cost of living and low farm prices. Stung by Ike's Wording Stevenson obviously was stung by the wording of what he called Eisenhower's "unfortunate" message assailing Bulganin's latest letter offering to reopen discussion of possible curbing of atomic tests. The Stevenson camp felt Eisenhower went out of his way to attempt to put his Democratic opponent on the same side of the political fence with Bulganin. The President said Bulganin's criticism of Secretary of State Dulles was "personally offensive) to me." He added that Bulganin's statements "seem to impugn my own sincerity." Stevenson said in a statement he shares Eisenhower's "resentment at the manner and timing of Premier Bulganin's interference in the political affairs of the United States." Then he added: "This is not the first time the Russian leaders have said things related to our presidential election.

Mr. Bulganin himself pressed the hope 'some time ago that Mr. Eisenhower would run for re-election and then more recently other Russian leaders have said they favored Eisenhower for president." Clayton Fritchey, Stevenson's press secretary, said this statement was based on news dispatches saying Eisenhower had told congressional leaders July 25, 1955, that Bulganin told him at Geneva conference he hoped the President would run again.

CLARK Longevity Pay For City OK'd Approval to A resolution that all employe personnel of the city shall receive "longevity pay next year was voted by the City Council finance committee, Monday night. The resolution, offered at the last Council meeting by Alderman Parker, and referred for committee recommendation, proposes that longevity pay boosts, effective next April 1, be granted as follows: 2 per cent of salary after 5 years of service; 4 per cent after 10 years, and 6 per cent after 15 years. Brief Debate Committee action came after brief debate.

Chairman Geiber suggested action should be deferred until Mayor Struif was again back at the helm of city affairs and could be consulted. Alderman Warren thought the proposal could just as well be taken up at budget-making time. Alderman Stobbs pointed out action now might be "premature." With union organizations in both police and fire departments, he suggested, there likely will be wage negotiations to be taken up when the next city appropriations are framed. Alderman Parker urged the called for no expenditures now, merely set a policy and could just as well have action now as later. Difficult to Apply The resolution then was approved on motion of Stobbs, seconded by Warren.

Stobbs; however, pointed out that the Jongevity proposal will be difficult to apply in the case of hourlypaid workers who have had offand on employment by the city. The committee tabled a resolution, also referred from the Council, proposing action on an invitation for city officials to attend the annual Illinois Municipal League meeting, Nov. 11-13, at Springfield, Members held the already had voted to allow expenses of the 14 aldermen, city clerk, treasurer, and engineer to attend the convention. Alderman Geltz said he felt a recent editorial in the Telegraph with regard to the convention trip as "unfair" in that it inferred all aldermen would make the trip, "I never have attended a meeting at city expense and don't believe all aldermen are going to the League meeting," he said. Charges 'Scare Tactics' Alderman Warren declared that the Telegraph editorial seemed intended to "scare aldermen out of going," and averred that if he weren't working he certainly would attend.

Mayor Struif is president of the League this year, and, with this in mind, Parker commented: "We should remember that never before has our council chairman been head of the League. If our mayor still is 100 ill to attend, it would be slap in the face If the city weren't well represented, At the last meeting, I said I wanted expenses paid, But, in this case; I'd be willing to go and take it out of my own pocket." Parker urged the committee to investigate the matter of paying full-time salaries to inspectors failing to give full time to their city jobs. Alderman Dooley suggested this was another matter in which the mayor should be consulted. No action was asked or taken.

Leroy Fritz, director of music for the schools, said 863 were enrolled as instrumental students in the schools now compared to 923 last year when the whole program went down through the fourth grade. He commented in a report prepared for the board of education that "the schedules of the teachers are much more workable than they were last year," and added: the variations in the schedules, I would say the teaching loads are in reasonable balance.

We estimate that in 1958 the addition of one staff member should be adequate to run the program for an indefinite period." The pupil load distribution waslas as follows: Jean McCormick, 120 band students; Charles Musgraves, 156; Boy LaMarsh, 191: Harvey sen, 133; Joseph Brewer, 41 (part time); C. M.
