WARNINGS ISSUED
Cummings Appeals to Public
for Aid in Wiping Out
Racketeers.
BY the Associated Press.

Declaring O Nationwide ring Of
chain bucketshop swindlers is mulct-
ing the public Of millions" Attorney
General Cummings made plea today
for public cooperation to wipe out
the "rscketeers."
Evidence collected by the Justice
Department, Cummings said in an in
terview with the Associated Press,
points to bucketshop headquarters in
New York and Chicago.
I'VE know the names of the cad
ers," he said, but 1t will take CO.
operation Of both the public and legiti-
mate brokers to put them where they
belong-behind the bars of a Federal
prison.
Serious Menace to Enforcement.
with unquestioned superior ability
as statesmen, with thousands Of dollars
to spend on elaborate Offices, long dis
tance telephone calls and kilograms,
and an indirect system Of payoffs.
the swindlers offer one of the most
serious menaces to law enforcement
In the country today"
Most of the victims, Cummings
said. are doctors, lawyers. professors
and businessmen.
Actually" he said, ''these men are
convinced they have lost their money
In legitimate investment. Usually
they are afraid to complain to Federal
officers because these smooth racket
eers always have the victims in debt
after they have cleaned them"
Cummings cited the recent con-
viction of 16 men and woman in
Shreveport, La, as a part of national
chain of bucketshop operators.
Operated in Cities.
This gang" the Attorney General
said, operated in Kansas City, Okla
homa City, Houston, Shreveport, Fort
Worth, New Orleans and Dallas for
brief periods before Federal officials
caught up with them.
"One of the leaders, after his con-
viction, told representatives of the
Department Of Justice that they took
between three and four million dol
lars out of Kansas City before moving
to Oklahoma City, where their system
netted quarter Of million, although
this city had been worked before by
a similar organization"
Cummings said his agents had evi-
dence that as many as $50 Of these
gangs were operating in New York
City alone. Twenty-six were uncovered
in Dallas, he said.
