GAMBLING The following sounds like something from the Roaring Twenties. A police raid on a lavish joint 1n Cicero, Illinois. During prohibition there were frequent stories -- out of Cicero. Stories featuring the king of the Chicago underworld -- Al Capone. Prohibition is gone. Also Al Capone. But illegal gambltng -- is still with us. Hence -- todayts police raid. At Cicero the law, using axes and crow bars -- to battle their way tn, finding plush tables loaded with,--dice, cards, policy slips and tickets for the races. They lso found -- hot coffee and pizza pie; but -- no big Bhots for the Black Maria. The gamblers had len by a s1•e door -- while the poltce were coming 1n at the front. The gamblers knew -- the raid was coming. Tonight as they say in Cicero -- 'the lid is on. 11 SNOJCIIII Although the tederal govern•nt report on 1■ok1ng and bealtb--won•t be 11ad e,4,ublic until toaorrow, tonlgbt 111 have ■ OM t1r■ predtct1on■ --about llhat the surgeon General and hi ■ coll•asue• •111 ••1; beginning with a categorical 1tat••nt--tbat 1■oking 11 har■tul to tbl health ot tlll nation.
