Senate Bills Would Crack Down On Race Wire Gambling
The Senate crime investigating committee introduced two bills aiming to halt interstate horse and dog race wires used for illegal gambling. One requires a FCC license and permits exemptions for newspapers, news services and radio, with licensing based on moral character and purpose disclosures to telephone and telegraph firms. The second makes it a federal crime to transmit gambling information obtained without track permission. In Florida a separate bill seeks to ban distribution of race information in newspapers within the state. In Brunswick Maine, the body of Shirley Coolen, 24, was found in a garden near Bowdoin College, likely murdered after a weekend assault. Police plan to question her former husband Guy Coalen in Boston.
