1 favorite of the National Broadcasting co. airlanes With various polls showing that Edgar Bergen's dummy is what Jack Benny used to be, the air comics were doing their best to congratulate the victor and console the loser. Benny, who occupied the top spot in the surveys for three years, yielded the throne graciously, but his face was long and his brow furrowed. "Losing to a he exclaimed sorrowfully. "I had thought the public liked he-man personality, a Buck Benny, a two-fisted man of men.

A fickle lot of public. It would have been better had I made Kenny Baker into an echo, Andy Devine into a and the rest of the cast into just sound effects." Across the table sat Fred Allen, nibbiing an olive. "The public. Jack." he jeered, "likes what it has liked for four years a dummy. All it did was change the name on the ballot.

You should get a Came time for Bergen to respond. "Boys and girls," he said, juggling Charlie on his knee, "you overwhelm me with your fine words and sentiments, you overwhelm Charlie, too. (Charlie flapped his mouth in a wide grin. To show our appreciation, Charlie shall pay the check for this testin-onial dinner. I thank you." Charlie's mouth snapped shut savagely.

Previously, periodic raids and fines accomplished the same purpose. But hundreds of Peoria machines disappeared overnight when the self -designated "vigilantes" threatened to emulate Mrs.

Kite. And the administration, while bemoaning the loss of $90,000 from the city treasury, vows the machines are now "out to stay." In Bloomington, similar crusading groups are organizing.

Mifflin St. Gifford 177 Slot Machines Woman Wrecks CHICAGO As a result of a rou tine legal opinion by Atty. Gen. Otto Kerner of Illinois, a new and effec tlve weapon to smash slot machine gambling In two widely separated parts of the state has been utilized by crusading women who have inad vertently launched their own "Car rle Nation" movement. Instead of aiming their axes and hammers at bottles of liquor, how ever, the present-day reformers are concentrating on the sporadic ap pearances of the "one-armed ban cuts', which they assert are draining the funds of the poor and giv ing nothing in return.

It all started a few days before Christmas when Mrs. Dan Kite, 32 of Alton, HU wife of a saloon keeper, became Incensed over the operations of a so-called "syndicate" controlling slot machines in the town. Fast and Furious Armed with an ax. Mrs. Kite, who is comely and husky, visited 10 saloons, and in the short time of an hour, wrecked 13 slot machines as the tavernkeepers stood by, too amazed to interfere.

Her parting shot as she left was: "111 chop np these machines as fast you install them!" After she had wrecked her last machine, Mrs. Kite was escorted to the police station to await a pos slble warrant from one of the offended tavern owners. But none arrived, as the modern-day Carrie Nation calmly reminded authorities of the opinion in which Atty. Gen. Kerner had said no one owning or operating a slot machine had any property rights In the eyes of the law.

Hence, it became apparent to Al ton police, the owner of a wrecked machine could not publicly admit owning it. If he did, Kerner had ruled, the operator invited prosecution on a self-confessed charge. So Mrs. Kite was released, and telegrams and letters of congratu lation began pouring In, commending her for her aggressive originality in breaking up the gambling syndicate where police had failed. Among the observers of Mrs.

Kite's one-woman raid were a group or Impatient women in North Chicago, near the northern Illinois state line. Their appeals to have authorities rid the community of slot machines had been ignored periodically for many months. They pointed in vain to the alleged waste of relief money to "play" the machines. Sixty Strong Then Mrs. Kite came along and gave them an idea.

Sixty strong, the ladies marched to the city hall and sought the mayor, John P. Dromey, or any of the aldermen. No official could be found. Pinaly, exasperated but deter mined as a result of the latest Carrie Nation example of how to get things done, the women notified Police Chief Jacob Novak that un- i I a i it don't envy her emulate her! you, too, can insist on BLOCK SYSTEM'S Celtityed Cleaning Continuing this iveek!

Mifflin St. less the slot machines were removed by nightfall, a women's vigilante committee would set out with axes and destroy the 80 or so boxes lo cated in various taverns and stores throughout the industrial city of persons. The threat was accompanied by a reminder that the attorney general's ruling gave such destruction of slot machines ample legality. Evidently North Chicagoans had heard of Mrs. Kite, too, for within a short time every slot machine had disappeared.

The women who scor ed such a telling blow to the "syndicate" assert the machines are out to stay, either voluntarily by their owners, or by the axe route. Perhaps the greatest furor was caused in Peoria, where, during the past few weeks, groups of outraged citizens threatened to take matters into their own hands, in the "Kite and apply tne axe to "slots" in operation there for the past few years.
