FRAUD ORDER FIGHT
ON IN THE HOUSE;
Crumpacker Advocates Judicial
Review, While Mann Thinks
Law Should Be Rigid.

WASHINGTON, D. c., January THE
House to-day passed a bill providing for
a judicial review Of orders excluding per-
sons from the use of United States mail
faaiities, after debate extending over
the major portion of the day.
In presenting reasons why the bill
should be passed, Mr.. Crumpacker Qn-
dianal said the power given the Post
master General under the statutes to issue
fraud orders was not at all an adniins-
trative discretion. 1t rather partook of
the nature of a police power for the reg
ulation of the morals of the people of the
country.
Mr.. Crumpacker contended that the
whole fraud order law was an unusual
proceeding; that if4it had been confined
to institutions and practices that were es-
sentially fraudulent or We're inherently
bad and criminal, "such as green goods
concerns, lotteries hy-by- night institu-
tions get-rich- quick establishments" as
originally contemplated by Congress, there
would be no complaint against 1t.
Mr.. Mann Qllinois) read several adj
vertisements, which he said seemed to
show that concerns We're still doing bus
mess that ought to come within the
scope of fraud orders. He said the bill
was defective, and that there should be
no letting down of the bars to permit
doubtful concerns to fleece the public.
