The owner and crew of a luxuri-
ous gambling boat played a game
not on the Casino list today e
waiting game with bobbing boat-
af sheriffs deputies.
In poker - faced patient
characteristic not unknown toman
who handle cards and the roulette
Tony Camera S trails end 300-
odd employes lounged about the
floating Casino the Rex.
And Just beyond reach of hoses
from toe ship equally pe-
it but in some instances at
least somewhat unsettled from
toe tearing of the waves waited
the deputies with warrants charg-
ing conspiracy to violate gam-
blinf laws.
Stralla who openly admits he
wee a rum-runner in prohibition
days; snorted at the would-be vis-
itors that he had enough food on
board to test a year. The Rex in
addition to its gambling
operated e large restaurant
Atty. Gen. Earl Warren "ad-
miral of the deputies fleet quiet-
retorted:
"We are aatiafled that the Rex
is 'not doing bustaeee. It Stralla
remain in
sacluiion three miles out on the
ocean indefinitely we can wait
longer than they can."
Warren's men moved Tuesday
night to close the four gambling
ships which have been operating
off the Southern California coast
On three the games of chance
were quickly closed and patrons
ordered ashore:
Only Stralla offered defiance.
While his men tuned hoiei
toward the approaching boats and
threw steel gates ever the landtag
steps he thundered through a
aboard tills
ilgti seas and
we're prepared to defend our
rights. Try to use force end well
use it too:"
A truce was arranged briefly
to permit more then 500 custom-
ers to leave the ship. Then water
taxi service waa suspended a
the blockade set up.
Warren said one of hie agents
informed him Stralla had hauled
down - the American flag and
threatened to seek Japanese reg-
istry for his ship.
tally advised Dr. K. Earle Coo-
well of Birmingham Ala. He said
many spinal fractures arent rec-
ognized because the victim can
walk. This was one reason he
said for the death of 1500 of some
tfiOO persons who incurred frao-
tui1 spines in traffic accidents
in i937.

vice perfected by. toe Mayo Clinic
of Rochester Minn makes oxygen
treatment available in the home

Heretofore such treatment
usually by oxygen tent has been

hy Dr. w. Randolph Lovelace II

vice reduce toe cost to $5 to $8
