Swooping on dope peddlers,
counterfeiterS, SmugglerS and
moonshiners, Uncle Sans T-men
arrested 1895 alleged law violators
in the newest roundup instituted
by the various Treasury law en-
forcement agencies, reports to
headquarters here revealed to-
day.
Simultaneous raids, conducted
on a nationwide front, brought the
capture of complete counterfeit
ing outfit at Detroit, along with
the arrest of James E. Ryan and
confiscation of illicit liquor stills
of huge capacity at st. Louis and
at Westburg, N. Y.
456 Narcotic Arrests
Narcotic arrests totaled 456, al
cohol tax units arrests we're 502,
the Secret Service picked up 104,
and the customs squad got "a.
The raids were carried out un-
der the direction of Harold N.
Graves, special assistant to Secre-
tary of the Treasury Morgenthau
in charge of Treasury law enforce
ment coordination work.
Plans were made for the coup
more than month ago and orders
were transmitted to division chiefs
in some $50 cities verbally to in
sure secrecy.
Graves recalled today that in a
similar drive last March almost
80 per cent of the arrests resulted
in convictions. He said that off
GERS used U. S. commissioners war
rants in most cases, but that in
some instances where the informa-
tion was very specific, no warrants
were used.
Find Plant In Home
The counterfeiting plant picked
up at Detroit, Graves said, was
located in the home of Ryan and
consisted of printing press, inks,
chemicals, plates and negatives
for counterfeit one dollar silver
certificates. Negatives were found
for U. S. five dollar notes but ap-
parently had not been used, he
added.
The still confiscated at St. Louis
was of the double column variety
with a capacity of 1000 gallons
per day, and that found at West
burg had a capacity of approx
mately 1900 gallons per day.
Six arrests were made in con-
nection with the Westburg raid.
The mass drive, in which the
army of $500 enforcement agents
were maneuvered by their chiefs
here, was arranged by Graves,
Morgenthau's special assistant on
law enforcement.
A similar attack was made upon
Federal law violators year ago
but on a lesser scale.

He gets a brand-new scheme.
Charles A. Ponzi has hit the
comeback trail.
And, he revealed, he has "a
sure-thing long-shot gamble"
which will make millions of dol
lars for my American friends"
The phrase wasn't quite clear
to this writer, but it was plain
enough to Mr.. PonZi and it
would be we'll to tell about it
in his own words. He said:
"I'II be in the big dough again
soon, and SO will all my friends
back home"
Mr.. Ponzi admitted he's not
exactly wealthy now. The man
who bucket-shopped his way to
fame, fortune, and a jail SEN
tence in the United States and
finally to deportation to Italy
confessed he doesn't even have
the price of a mail box at the
post office.
He has to receive his post at

First Mrs. Simpson
Hits 'WalIy' RumOE's

NEW YORK, Sept. 20 G.N.SJ.
Shaken. by gossip linking King
Edward VIII and Mrs. "Wally"
Simpson, the first Mrs. Ernest A.
Simpson was on the verge of col
lapse today.
Holding no grudge against her
brunette successor, Mrs. Simpson
was distracted almost to the point
of tears at reports she had called
Mrs. Jacques Raffray, friend of
her husband, gold digger"
Even as she denied this report a
new and curious story was going
into circulation.
It was a story that "Wally"
Simpson, now King Edwards play
mate, has been paying the alimony
owed by her husband to the first
Ms. Simpson here.
A year ago, according to this
story, Simpson was caught by
process servers at the Gladstone
Hotel here and presented with
papers for the enforcement of
$28,91O alimony judgement.
Attempts to collect the judge
ment were vain, because Simpson
was broke, it was said. So the
payments repeatedly we're made
by "Wally" to keep the lawyers
and process servers away. Sub
sequently, it was said, the ali
mony was guaranteed By Simp-
sons father.
During an interview in her
apartment here, Mrs. Simpson No.
l, so distraught she scarcely could
mold cup of coffee, said:

TALAVERA DE LA REINA,
Spain, Sept. 29.-Ten waXy-faced
survivors of the most tragic siege
in modern history arrived from
the Alcazar in Toledo today and
told the story of their sufferings.
They grabbed for food and
stuffed it into their mouths while
a vast crowd cheered and wept in
a frenzy of delight.
For they were the first tangible
and authentic sign of relief of a
garrison of 1,670 men, women, and
children who defended the ancient
castle which housed Spain's West
Point for II days and whose de-
livery from death means to the
whites sure victory in this re-
lentless civil war of modern times.
The AlcaZar today must be ap-
preached by its second story.
The second floor of the building
is now its first floor, because the
bombing has been so terrific the
entire facade and six-foot walls
have been reduced to powder.
Away down beneath in tunnels
like catacombs lived 1,670 human
beings for II days while the in
fernal weapons of modern war
were hurled at them.
Their livestock saved them.
They had 81 horses and q
mules to begin with. On Sunday,
when they we're relieved, they had
left one horse and five mules. All
the rest had been eaten.
Beside this horse and mule flesh
they had a bit of wheat. Just
enough so each person could have
daily a quantity about to fill one
hand.
One of the survivors showed me
a nubbin of such bread about half
the size of his fist. They, in fact,
were more than half starved, but
said they could have held on for
another month.
Their spirit was utterly un-

DANCER, CHILD
FOUND DEAD

OFT, Sept. 20 G.N.SJ.
Mrs. Gladys Myers Morgrath, pretty
26-year-old divorce and "taxi-
dancer" and her 6-year-old daugh-
ter, Joyanna, were found dead to-
day in their gas-filled apartment,
according to police.
Authorities said the woman ap-
parently had turned on the gas
jets in the kitchen stove. Letters
found in the room, believed to
have been sent by the Woman's S
parents, bore the return address

MERRILL HERE;
FLIGHT LARK

The trail blazed by "Dick" Mer
rill and his grooming passenger
backer, Harry Richmond, in flying
both ways across the Atlantic was
"juSt a vacation" to Merrill.
Stopping off today at the Wash
ington Airport on his regular flight
for Eastern Airways from New
York to Miami, Merrill stated that
his tranSoceanic flights would add
nothing Of value to the science OF
aviation. His trip was a lark to
him. He said:
81 made eight dollars, that's
more than I had before left"
AS to the reported quarrel be-
tween himself and Richmand,
he denied any unpleasantness.
The alleged dumping of 500 gal
Ions of gasoline, which was said
to have been responsible for the
landing of the plane far short
of its New York destination, was
termed "just talk" by the flier.
He said that he plans similar
tWo-Way hop next year, but he
stated that his companion would
mot be Richman."

SCHOOL BOARD
MAPS ACTION
ON REDB|LL

With some members opposed to
any restriction on the teaching Of
Communism in District schools,

the groundwork for its line Of &C
ton on the Sisson bill, which would

Members Of the board commit
tee include Henry Gilligan, chair.
man, who Is known to favor the
policy Of the SisSon bill; Henry
I. Quinn, who has asked repeal Of
the entire Communism legislation
on the ground that it is "out-
rageous, unjust and un-American,"
and James H. Wilson, new men,
Der.
The legislation committees re-
port wi! be presented to special
meeting Of the full board called
for. Monday at $3.50 p. m. Action

It's Hard to Ban
A Legislators
Pet Speech

Representative Robert Rich
(R.) Of Pennsylvania, says he
has the toughest job in Congress
and it was given to him by q
Democrat.
Rich, as a member Of the joint
printing committee, has the job
Of preventing extraneouS matter
from going into the Congressional
Record. Chairman Lambeth CD
Of North Carolina. of the printing
committee, assigned the job to
Rich.
Rich, who frequently rises when
a member asks permission to In.
sert an editorial, a letter from a
constituent or a speech by some
one outside Congress, says:
"Tt's q damn mean duty, but
II we didn't do it, the Record
would be four times as large. 1t
costs $50 q page, the records
show, but that Is only part Of
it. The public printing office
pays no taxes and no rent.
''DO you know that the print
ing office costs $4,000, 90, 900
q year? Do you know that they
print $50 magazines for various
Government departments"
One of the things that makes
Rich's job tough is the fact that
the Senate is more liberal. II T.

serting in the Record speech by
"Mr. Whooziz" in the House he
