POST OFFICE FIGHTS
FOREIGN LOTTERIES
Companies Change Names
Quickly in Effort to Defeat
Fraud Orders.

A vigorous battle of wits between the
Post ONCE Department and lottery op-
orators in Cuba and Mexico, who are
using high-powered radio stations to
publiciZe their schemes in this country,
was barred today with the announcement
from the office of Horace j. Donnelly,
solicitor for the department, that a
fraud order had been issued yesterday
against the Havana Holding Co." of
Havana. one of the concerns under fire
The order yesterday was one of Sc
fles that has been put out by the de-
partment since this new brand of
''racketeering" first made its appearance
in November the operators in both
countries changing names as fast as the
orders have been issued, in an effort to
defeat the efforts of the department to
squelch their activities.
In each instance the lotteries are
state affairs, and from all indications
the same two groups of men are behind
them
Mail stoppages, accomplished by vir-
tue of the fraud orders, indicate an ex-
tensive clientele has been built up in
the United States by the two organiza-
tions, which offer rich prizes weekly.
Just what their net returns have been
Donnelly characterizes them as the
source of more trouble than any of the
foreign lotteries with which tie depart
ment has to cope. and whose combined
activities, the solicitor estimates. has
trimmed a gullible American public of
something like s50,o00000 in the past
18 months.
In this connection too, Donnelly
warned that those who use the mails
to subscribe to these lotteries, are guilty
of a breach of the postal laws punish
able by two years Imprisonment and
fine Of $1,000, although as yet, no action
of this nature has been taken by the
authorities
The department first acted against
the radio lotteries On November g. last
when a fraud order waA issued against
the International BroadcastirN Co..
Station XED, Loteria Tamaulipas. and
an NJ. Walsh. at Reynosa, Mexico, near
Nogales Ariz.. where operations arc
centered. This is described as the
Evening star., 1932-02-11

Tamaulipas state lottery, and some
thing like a dozen orders have followed
the first, as the hackers have switched
names, the last coming this past Sat-
urday.
Two months after the Mexican
scheme raised its head. that in Cuba
started to function, and on January 9,
the department issued an order against
the Cuban national lottery and the
National Brokerage Co." Three WeeE:
later, operations were being conducted
under the name Of the Havana brok-
erage Co.." and on February 2, an
other fraud order was issued.
Then the hackers switched to the
Havana Holding Co.." and yesterdays
order followed.
The broadcasts are coming in night
", and Solicitor Donnelly expects that
a new name will be offered investors"
tonight.
The fraud order stops mail bound
either to or from the operators, put
by constant changes of name 1t Is evil
dent that that destined to them-and, !,
of course, carrying money-offers stlH
problem to the postal authorities.
Hundreds of thousands OF letters
have been halted through these orders
and returned to the senders, Solicitor
DOnnelly says, but tne lotueTy opeia1oiS'
by these quick shiftings OF names,
pave the way for receipt OF some mali
before an order can be put out.
In the battle with the Washington au-
thorit.es. the Tamaulipas outfit has at
tempsd to give its operations additional
strength by directing that money for
the tickets be sent to individuals who
are designated as government lnspec-
tors
These nightly broadcasts also inform
the public taht the schemes are not
contrary to any American law.
The radio stations being on foreign
soil, this Government has no control
over their activities
The Havana station comes in clearly
here. but that in Mexico runs into a
good deal of interference with local
station. Solicitor Donnelly thinks both
lotteries are conducted by Americans.

LEWIS PROPOSES s..
FEDERAL MERGERS
Would Combine interior and
Agriculture Departments,
Abolish Commissions.

OFrom the $50 Edition Of Yesterdays star)
Merger of the Departments of Agrt-
culture and Interior, abolition Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission and
the Federal Trade Commission and the
consolidation Of several other govern
mental agencies were advocated today
by Senator Lewis, Democrat. Illinois,
as definite program toward reorgan-
lzation in the interest of economy.
Senator Lewis said that, in discuss
ing the subject of reorganization last
week, he charged Republican leaders
were advocating consultations without
naming any particular agencies that
they expected to repeal He said that
subsequently a member of the cabinet
replied that Lewis himself also had
failed to say what agencies he would
aoohSh: Senator Lewis said he was
Speclfymg the changes he believed
should be made, in answer to sucn
challenges.
In combining the Interior and Aeri-
cultural Departments he would call
it the Land Department. and declared
such consolidation would save Sl5OOO.-

In suggesting abolition of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission. he advo-
Gated returning railroad control to the
respective States.
He said the Shipping Board should
become a bureau of the Commerce De-
partment, and also recommended that
the Office Of Education be put in the

Interior. He said the courts could be
given jurisdiction to handle matters
now dealt with by the Federal Trade
Commission.

prove unwise and harmful from every
standpoint in the interest of our own
people" said Senator Robinson.
Senator Robinson said that Ambas-
sador Mellon has been quoted as saying
that when the British debt settlement
had been made its present value was
30 per cent of the total amount due
prior to funding and that 1T becomes
apparent from the standpoint of the
British taxpayer he is asked not only to
meet the obligation as established by
our debt commission, but an amount
considerably in excess of such obliga-
ton.
Is it the policy of the administration
to accept payments of obligations due
from foreigners in deprecated curren-
cies while requiring payment of obliga-
tions from our own citizens in gold or
currency which is constantly appreci-
ating in purchasing poWer?" demanded
Senator Robinson.
Why not look at the subject from
the standpoint of the American tax
payer rather than from that of the
British taxpayer"
Senator Robinson said that with the
deficit in the Treasury approXimating
50, $50 900 600. and with Congress far
ing great difficulty in its effort to bal
ance the budget, this Government is
going out of its way to reduce the
amount which may be received from
foreign debtor governments. This. be
said with sarcasm. was to relieve their
taxpayers from hardship and financial
strain.
Foreign Advantage Shown.
BY abandoning the gold standard
and depreciating their currencies," said
Senator Robinson, governments which
are in debt to the United States have
obtained a great advantage over us as
competitors in foreign commerce One
of the penalties of the policy referred
to is found in meeting gold payments
Is an effort to be made to commit the
United States to the absurd and impos-
sible undertaking of paying the losses
which foreign government will incur.
by reason of changes in their financial
policies. policies which on the whole
seem fruitful Of gain to them and of
disadvantage to us?
ANY reduction of debt settlements.
especially when proposed by Mr. Mellon,
will require very careful consideration
by the Congress in order to safeguard
the best interests of the Government
which Mr.. Mellon is presumed to rep
resent
Senator Connally Of Texas Demo-
crat, also attacked the reported attitude
of Ambassador Mellon in regard to the
payment of the war debts to the United
States
Senator Smoot of Utah, replying to
questions put him by Senator Connallv
said he did not know what the attitude
of Ambassador Mellon was, but that he
himself was opposed to any cancellation
or reduction in these war debts owed
the United States. Senator Smoot is
chairman OF the Senate Finance Com
mittee and was a member of the Debt
Commission which fixed the payments
due the United States by the foreign
debtors.

BANK BILL
IS GIVEN SENATE
Measure to Speed Payments
to DepoSitors Referred
to Committee.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The modified Glass banking revision
measure carrying provision for liqui-
dating corporation to speed payments
to depositors in closed banks was intro
duced today with the approval of a
Senate Banking Subcommittee.
Senator Glass, Democrat, Virginia,
sponsor of the legislation, introduced it
on behalf of the subcommittee and it
was promptly referred back to the whole
Banking Committee for approval
Far-Reaching Provisions.
The bill contains reaching pro-
visions tightening up the national bank
ing system against spectators, curbing
chain banking and banking affiliate
corporations. and removes the Secretary
of the Treasury from the Federal Re-
serve Board, of which he is now an ex-
officio member.
The Hquidating corporation would
have at its disposal 81 900 900 600 for
getting payments to depoSitors of closed
banking institutions Of this sum, the
Government would originally appropri-
ate S200,000,000. The corporation could
issue debentures up to four times the
mount of this capital
The measures specifically prohibit
the use of Federal facilities by member
banks "for the purpose of making or
carrying loans covering investments, OF
facilitating the carrying Of or trading
in. stocks, bonds or other investment
securities other than obligations of the
Government of the United States"
Based on Earlier Bill.
Each Federal Reserve bank would be
directed to keep itself informed of the
loan and investment practices of its
member banks. The Federal Reserve
Board would be empowered to suspend
for one year any member bank from
the use Of its facilities, upon violation
of this law
A member bank would be prohibited
from voting privilege If a majority of
its stock is held or owned by any af-
filiate
The legislation is a modification of
the original Glass bill introduced earlier
in the session 1t contains some of the
language of the letter offered by Sem
ator Thomas (Republican), Idaho, for
paying depositors in closed banks.
The Reconstruction Corporation now
has 5000 100000 available for this same
work.
