TREASURY DENIES
DRUG: REPR|SALS
Charges of New York Grand
Jury Committee Are
Branded "Unfair."

Treasury officials yesterday sharply
denied the charge that repriSals had
been taken against agents in the mar
cotic service who testified to "sore
spots" in the service before the Federal
grand jury in New York.
It was admitted that long letter
addressed to Andrew w. Mellon, Sec
rotary of the Treasury, from the COM
mittee of grand jurors who investigated
the New York narcotic situation had
been received here and its contents had
been noted.
Charges contained in this letter were
denounced as unfair" since the COM
.mittee has so far withheld from the
Federal Narcotic Bureau here a re-
port Of the testimony before the grand
jury. A reorganization in the service,
which has led to the transfer of 10
agents from New York and more from
other districts, was said to have been
on the recommendation of the grand
jurors and that no spirit of reprisal
had actuated such transfers.
Seymour Lownan, Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury In Charge of Pro-
hibition and Narcotics, admitted having
received the letters in question. He re-
ferred the matter to H. J. Anslinger,
assistant commissioner of the bureau,
who declared the committees tactics
unfair under the circumstances.
The charge that Ralph Oyler, for
merly in charge at New York, had been
transferred to Honolulu for his testi-
mony before the grand jury was de-
scribed by AnSlinger as in the nature
OF a promotion rather than a reprisal.

BY JACK

MEXICO CITY, April 12-To say
that Mexico has gone baseball mad
might be an e~xaggeration, but the
sight OF ten thousand excited Mexi-
cans watching the scoreboard flash
a play-by-play report OF the Mexico
Cuba contest recently in Mexico
City is a good argument for the con-
tention that the national sport OF
the United States is gaining a foot
hold south Of the Rio Grande.
Much Interest
The scoreboard was operated by
La Prensa, Mexico City morning
newspaper. Although Mexico lost
TO Cuba the first game, by a score
of z to 3, the local fans let out en-
thusiastic cries when Mexican play
erS did as much as steal a base.
And they remained until the last
out in the ninth inning. something
unknown in one sided games in the
United States. The second game.
played a few days later was won
by Mexico 2 70 !, and the Mexican
fans went wild. The games were
part of the Central American Olym-
pics at Havana.
The play by play system was in
stituted during the last world series
in October. At that time, however,
radio reports could not be received.
and with the scoreboard set up and
thousands OF fans eagerly awaiting
results, the operators, rather than
disappoint the crowd. flashed the
results anyway. Getting the score
from the local cable office. the OPP
orators flashed the play BY play
In the way 1t should have been.
