William W. Prochnau: (in the Seattle Times)
&,
NEW YORK.--Professional gamblers reaped
towering profits, leaving charitable groups, with
meager rewards and sullied reputations, when
bingo was legalized in New York State six
years ago.
The state law approved bingo only for fund-
raising by charity or civic groups---in woriling
similar to one section of the gambling referendum
that Washington State voters will consider in
next month's elections.
Washington's Referendum 34, which would
legalize bingo operations by any nonprofit
organization, is les~ restrictive than the New
York measure.
But, even with strict rules and a large "bingo
police" force, scandals rocked New Yor>'n ~:-
tempts to keep legalized bingo 1rec of cor-
ruption,
THE GAMBLERS took over in New York
even before the voters had their say.
Although illegal bingo was flourishing under
a "tolerance" policy in many parts of the state,
underworld lobbyists ponred thousands of dol-.
lars into a high-powered campaign to pass the
law.
Later, when two state investigations examined
the New York results, the professionals had cor-
nered the most lucrative part of what quictdy
became a $50 million-a-year business.
Even more disturbing, according to the in-
vestigators, was the discovery that "otherwise
decent citizens were duped or persuaded to com-
mit fraudulent acts and shameful infractions of
the law."
Because the gambling law embodied In Ref-
erendfim No. 34 would legalize bingo games.con-
ducted under the sponsorship of nonprofit +ar-
ganizations, The Times recently assigned William
W. Prochnau of its Washington, D. C., bureau to
review experiences in New York 6tats with a
~i:ni:ar law. Here are his findings.
THESE WERE SOME of the incidents noted
by the investigators:
• Two veterans-group officials and ~he repre-
sentative of a religious congregation admitted
falsifying bingo financial reports to cover up the
gambler~' illegal profits.
• A minister admitted sending a case of
I
whiskey to an ex-convict who was "managing" a
church bingo game.
k
• A city official resigned after accusations
that he had accepted a $500 bribe.
• +4. group of "civic-minded housewives and
mothers," attempting to raise money for chin
dren's camps, refused to answer questions about
their bingo operations on the ground that the
answers might "tend to incriminate" them.
THE INVESTIGATORS also found that, while
profits ran high, few of the proceeds found their
way to charity.
In one large veterans' game, managed by pro-
fessional gamblers, the promoters took $26,00¢}
"off the top" as illegal profits over a year's time.
They left ,the veterans $1,900.
In another case, a "paper" organzation, set
Up only to run bingo games, realized a profit of
$2,600 after the gamblers took their cut. Of the
$2,600, only $62 was donated to charity.
One veterans' leader testified that the gam-
'blers took so much cash out of the games that
his 0rl~mization occasionaly ended up with night-
ly deficits.
