Although the Govern n t
claims it lost income tax on only
$4,000 from the Warnings, the
District Attorney quoted the gross
receipts to show the vastness OF
the numbers racket in the District.

Wallace asserted the elections
indicate also that "the American
people are sick of unemploy

additional employment on the
farms and in the cities.
IF the New Deal can not
stop excessive unemployment
