MERRY MIX-UP
OF CORRUPTION
in LOS ANGELES

LOS ANGELES, July "a. U.D-
Assertions of X. Higashi, held here
on a felony charge, that George
"Rush' Meadows, attorney and
former University of Southern Cali
fornia athlete now in the county
Jail, accepted $4,000 to delay depor-
tation proceedings, started an in
vestigation here by federal authori-
ties.
Higashi met Meadows, he asserts,
when they were fellow eonvicts at
Leavenworth. On their release
Meadows accepted the money, then
asked fellow attorney to file ap-
plication for a six months stay OF
deportation to transact business.
Meanwhile, statements of an un-
named Chinese that Higashi tried
to sell him a Doctors diploma for
1860 to entitle him to peddle dope
legally caused the announcement by
the state medical board that inves-
tigation is in progress of an alleged
diploma mill" operating in Los
Angeles, Chicago, two other large
American cities, and France.
Meadows was arrested more than
a month ago on charges that he col
lected large sums OF money ON the
pretense that he could influence
prominent officials to release state
and federal prisoners.
