Slot Machine Raids Seek Console Type Devices in San Antonio
San Antonio police, acting on orders from Cumminstone P. J. Anderson, swept the city for console type slot machines. A device was found at 1813 South Flores Street with a suspect, while commanders warned more searches would follow. Officials ponder whether possession of such machines is a misdemeanor and vow charges if justified. The probe comes as authorities earlier remove slot machines from nearby establishments. In war news, reports say Germany claims a new weapon resembles a V-2 rocket and Britain reports on possible robot attacks from submarines or bombers, though no immediate threat is declared.
