Legal gambling opponent
defends talks with ‘snitch’
United Press International
AUSTIN — An anti
gambling lobbyist says he sees
nothing wrong with talking to a
“snitch” who works for a
Louisiana racetrack owner to get
information to use against a bill
legalizing parimutuel betting in
Texas.
But Allan Maley Jr., director
of Texans Against Gambling,
says there’s plenty wrong with a
House committee chairman’s
tactics in revealing Maley’s tele
phone conversations with the
out-of-state track employee.
The ongoing sparring match
between Maley and Rep. George
Pierce, chairman of the House
committee debating the betting
bill and a co-sponsor of the mea
sure, escalated to knockout
levels Wednesday with Pierce’s
release of Maley’s telephone re
cords.
The records showed 18 calls
to the Edward J. DeBartolo
Corp. of Youngstown, Ohio. De
Bartolo and his family own 92
percent of Louisiana Downs in
Bossier City, La.
Supporters of the betting bill
have alleged that out-of-state
racetrack owners were behind
efforts to kill the measure, fear
ing legalized gambling in Texas
would take bettors away from
their tracks.
Maley said Wednesday he
made the calls to a “source” in
the DeBartolo organization who
pointed him to several reports
that were unfavorable about the
potential Financial benefits of
legalized horserace gambling.
“I’ll take information from
any snitch I can get it from,”
Maley said at a news conference.
Pierce, whose committee sub
poenaed Maley’s Financial re
cords, said the phone calls “raise
the question of just whoitij
1 his
his organ
Mr. Maley and
represent.”
“I really thought the!
thy era was dead andgonti
ver where people could
smeared by association,"H
said at a news confej
Wednesday.
Maley, whose group k
political arm of the AntiQ
Council of Texas, denied:
receiving money fromracej
owners and said Pierce’s
were “diversion tactics"aim
muddling the true issut|
gambling.

Jurors view ‘obscene’ film
ATS

United Press International
HOUSTON — A six-member
jury went to a posh Houston
theater to watch a racy foreign
movie, and defense lawyers
hoped the setting would en
hance the artistic qualities of a
movie entitled “Salo — The 120
Days of Sodom.”
The panel watched the 1975
movie at the River Oaks Theater
before returning to court to de
cide if manager Dan Bonetati
was promoting obscenity by
showing the Film, court records
indicated Wednesday.
“Salo” was made in 1975 by
Italian director Pier Paolo Paso
lini and completed a few weeks
before Pasolini was bludgeoned
to death by a youth who claimed
the director had made homosex
ual advances towards him.
Prosecutors claim the movie
is obscene with scenes of sadism,
sadomasochism, sodomy and
sexual behavior in which the eat
ing of human excrement is de
picted.
The defense maintains the
movie, set in northern Italy dur
ing the German occupation in
1944-45, is a political statement
about fascism in general and the
depths of human depravity in
particular.
The movie is an adaptation of
the Marquise de Sade’s controv
ersial “The 120 Days of Sodom,”
written while he was imprisoned
in the Bastille in Paris in 1785.
