What I am proposing is to take the revenues

|
that this creates away from organized crime and give it

|

over to the benefit of the people. Thank you.

THE CHAIRMAN: Before you leave, Mr. Pressman,
|
|
6
|
those comments you had from the Catholic church, am I
|
|
7
|
mistaken in believing that they indicate at least they
|
|
8
|
would not object to the position you are taking as far
|
|
9
|
as the Constitution itself is concerned?
|
|
10
|
MR. PRESSMAN: There was no statement about
|
|
11
|
the Constitution. In effect it was that gambling is
|
|
12
|
not immoral of itself, that there are methods wherein
|
|
13
|
gambling can be conducted in such a way as to not be
|
|
14
|
immoral and that if you had a lottery which is operated
|
|
15
|
in a fair way, you have a fair percentage of the money
|
|
16
|
taken given out as prizes and used for beneficial
|
|
17
|
purposes, that this would be better than having money
|
|
18
|
go to organized crime. This is the position taken by
|
|
19
|
Father Gorman in Time Magazine and the position as to
|
|
20
|
gambling generally is the position taken in America
|
|
21
|
Magazine and copies have been left.
