REVIEW OF FRAUD
ORDER CASES DISCUSSED

washington. Jan. THE House To-
day passed bill providing 1or JUL
cial review of orders excluding per-
sons from the use of United states
mail facilities, after a debate extendins

led the fight in opposition
In presenting reasons why the Dill

the country.
Mr. Crumpacker commended that t''o
whole fraud order law was an unusuai
proceeding: that if it had been con J.

were essentially fraudulent or were IL
herently bad and criminal, such as
green goods concerns, lotteries hy-Dy-
might institutions, get rich quick estab-

by Congress there would be no com
