SCHAFER TO PUSH
GAMBLING FIGHT
Representative Says He viii
Use Every Weapon Federal
Employees Practice.

I'm going through with my purpose
to stop gambling in Government offices, ="

Republican, of Wisconsin, today, ex-
planning his first move in suggesting to
Walter H. Newton, secretary to the
President, that the administrative off,
GERS warn all employees that they will

their gambling in Office hours.
Every one knows that this evil is
going on; the officials cannot deny it.
If 1t is not stopped by those in charge
of the executive departments by the
time Congress meets it will be my duty
to get corrective action through the
Committee on Expenditures, of which I
am a member. l will use every weapon
at my command to win this fig,k.
IT am not doing this as a crusade"
emphasized MIR. Schafer, but as my
duty on the Auditing Committee of the
House to prevent this wholesale, preva-
lent gambling on Government time by
those who are paid good salaries. They
are impeding Government business by
using the Government telephones and
they cannot have their minds on their
work.
If they care to throw their money
away on the stock market, in base ball
pools, to bookmakers on horse races, or
any other kind of lotteries, outside of
Office hours. I will not make it any of
my business. If they want to do that
they had better resign from the Govern
ment pay roll and then they will have a.
full day to devote to such pastimes."
Representative Schafer today receiv-
ed further detailed information regard
ing the spread and scope of gambling
in the Government Offices and said that
he will have all this information
