Bulgarian State
Ministers Block
Cut In Pay Roll

SOFIA, Bulgaria, June i.-F-
Drastic reduction in the number Of
government employees vas urged
by NJ. Molcff, minister of finance,
as a method Of reducing the an
nual budget of Bulgaria.
When figures for the new fiscal
year were submitted to parliament,
some Of the legislators exclaimed at
the total and the minister explain
ed that efforts to cut the number
Of state employees had been re-
sisted by various departments,
each Of which IA willing only that
other bureaus should make the
needed sacrifices.
The budget for this year called
for q total Of 1000. o00.oO leva. an
approximate equivalent to SEQ
$4,000.
The department Of public debt
asked for about SIS, $4,000 That
department not only has to look
out for obligations incurred before
the war. but also for repartion pay
ments to the allies and for the cost
Of caring for thousands Of re-
patriated war refugees.
The ministry Of war asked for
about S5,065.O00 and the department
Of public instruction for S6,430.000.
All the other department. wanted
less than 100000 each. the low
est figure being $3.50, 900 for the
department Of foreign affairs.
Bulgaria hopes to persuade the
allies with whom she signed the
treaty Of st. German to permit
her to re-establish a CONSUMPTION
system for her army. At present
the ranks are filled 10 the limit OF
$4,000 imposed by the peace pact.
only because Of the fact that the
soldiers are paid on about the same
scale as civil servants, but the re-
suit Is expensive.
Besides, the quality Of the troops
is below the standard. The mar
tial minded peasant who used to
uphold Bulgaria in battle has be-
come wearied by almost two de-
cades Of continuous field service.
Furthermore. he does better finan-
cially by working his farm.

RADIO TAPPING"
BARES RUM RING
Young Engineer Detects Lo-
cation of Station Used
by SmugglerS.
BY MARTIN CoDEL.

BY the simple expedient of tapping
the ether lanes Federal agents were en-
abled this week to uncover a giant
liquor smuggling ring operating along
the New Jersey coast. Thereby hangs
a tale of radio Sleuthing that Is earning
high praise from Government officials
neer, attached to the New York office
of the Department of Commerce radio
inspection service.
So simple was it to obtain clues from
the radio messages transmitted by the
bootleg operators that officials here in
Washington are saying today that the
nickname, "rummieS," which Federal
agents apply to rum-runners, is well
deserved in more senses than one.
Redeem detected the location Of the
unlicensed radio station used by the
rum ring to dispatch messages of in
Struction to its liquor carrying vessels
by the commonly known method of
trisnguiation, employed for radio direc-
ton finding in sea and air navigation.
Thirty-twO Arrests Are Made.
The fact that specially devised code
was used by the radio operator could
not deter Redfern, for he is something
of code expert himself Needless TO
say, the evidence that led to the raids,
in which 80 men were arrested and
large quantities Of liquor seized, was
largely obtained from these messages.
About six months ago, it is related,
an unidentified radio station was heard
operating in the band Of wave lengths
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-10-18

around 30 meters, which is reserved for
amateurs and ships. The operator OF
the station, who was using two fake
call letters, was remaining at the key
at times for stretches of Is hours OF
more. This naturally aroused sus-
picion, and though the nature Of the
messages was suspected their real pur-
port was not definitely known.
Secretary of Commerce Lamont was
asked and agreed to lend Redeem to
the Federal prohibition staff. Redfern
applied himself aSSiduously to the task
of detecting and DECIDING the signals
and then Of locating the station.
No License ISSUED.
There was no record of any license
for the call letters used. It is part of
the duty of radio inspectors Of the
Department of Commerce to pass upon
the qualifications of all radio operators,
amateurs and otherwise, inspect stations
applying for licenses and monitor the
ether channels.
A former Army Signal Corps engineer,
Redfern has served as radio inStruc-
tor in various Army schools, and dur
ing the war had been commissioned
officer in charge of intercepting mes
sages from enemy radio stations in the
Intercept" duty, as this is known in
radio parlance, was not new to him.
It was easy to take down the code Of
the station, but it was a difficult task
to decode the messages. 1t was rela-
lively easy by taking bearings on the
signals from different points to find the
exact location of the station.
When Federal agents and State
troopers swooped down upon the radio
shack, which was situated only a short
distance from the rum rings base of
operations at Highlands, N. j., Redfern
was with them. They found the radio
operator busily pounding away at his
key Redfern could now read and
transmit the code messages, and as the
operator was handcuffed, he sat down
at the key and continued sending.
Guard Boat Auxiliary.
The orders he dispatched to the rum
vessel led it to a point where Coast
Guard vessel was lying in wait.
For operating without a license the
owners of the radio station are liable
under the radio act to a penalty of not
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-10-18

more than $4,000 and imprisonment of
not more than five years, or both, &C
cording to an official of the Department
of Commerce. The operator can be
subjected to the same penalty for OPP
Grating without a license. There Is no
record here that he ever held license.
This is the first case in which the
New York prohibition unit has detected
liquor operations by means of radio.
The Coast Guard has had occasion to
listen to radio exchanges between
liquor ships and their shore bases from
time to time.
The Coast Guard has a large radio
system Of its own, but its primary use
is for communication between section
bases and Coast Guard patrol boats,
cutters, destroyers and planes, all OF
which are radio equipped.
All Coast Guard stations, whether
fixed or mobile, have two or more re-
ceiving sets, one of which is always set
at the distress frequency.

words of Prime Minister HertZog, is

the fifteenth precinct and by de-
partmental order assign it for use as a
house of detention. believe this would
be legal under the terms of the appro-
priation act.'
Inspector Pratt made his suggestion
to Mai. Edwin B. Hesse, superintendent
of police, who also received Mrs Van
Wrinkles spirited protest, and her an
nouncement that she wants the house
of detention near the center OF popu-
lation. Faced with these conflicting re-
quests by his subordinates, Mai. Hesse
is maintaining silence. In the mean
time, the day on which the house OF
detention has to move Is fast approach
ing.
The present location at 908 B street
southwest ran counter to the desires of
neighbors, who successfully maintained
a suit in Equity Court to restrain the
Commissioners from continuing the use
of the property as a house of detention.
According to terms of the settlement
of the suit. agreed to December 81, the
Commissioners were allowed one month
in which to move. The city heads in
trusted the task of finding new loca-
ton for the detention house to Assistant
Engineer Commissioner LaySon z. AT
kins.
Mai. Atkins is waiting for the Police
Department to agree on a site, and
when they report to him he will enter
into negotiations for leasing it.
The history of the House of Deten-
ton ever since the, day when its loca-
ton on Ohio avenue near Fifteenth
street was decided upon as part of the
site for the new Department of Com
merce Building has been troubled.
Two previous efforts to find new
location were received with such op-
position by prospective neighbors that
the Commissioners were forced to
change their plans. One effort to 10
cate the House of Dentention near the
Capitol led to the writing of clause
in the appropriations bill that the
House must not be put within 800 yards
of the Capitol grounds. When the
Commissioners finally moved the House
to 908 B street southwest the neighbors
promptly took the matter to court.

James j. Walker, in copyrighted ar
ticle in the New York American today
gives the use of narcotics as one of the
chief causes of crime In the metropolis.
He also asserts that New York Is
relatively the least crime ridden city
in the country, when its millions of in
habitants are compared with the size
Of other communities.
While wrongdoing in other COM
munities is minimized by their local
newspapers and not published in metro
politan papers, the mayor says. similar
occurances in New York are given ma
tion-wide publicity giving the city a
reputation of being wicked.
Young men. who, under proper con-
ditions, would be useful, law-abiding
citizens. Mr.. Walker writes, are turned
into gunmen and gangsters by a hand
full of gang leaders who feed them drugs
to undermine their moral fiber and to
gain an ascendency over them.
The mayor said the World War. which
