Baltimore numbers men-and this

associations to encourage amity and
promote mutual business interests.
One Of these organizations is known
as the six and Eight" Another il
called the American Grocery Co."
Each association contains q number
OF bankers" and meets at least twice
month. The two organizations meet
IN join session now and then.
Each member operative is assigned
territory and allowed to work it un-

Even = Raid Is Possible.
Thus. when . new racketeer Is 40

IN the Maryland metropolis, untoward
things are apt to happen to him. He
may even be raided by the police.
The numbers are played more or
less extensively in every stable city in
the country and in small towns and
even hamlets. A leading criminolosist
explained:
Our experience has been that the
racket opens in . town modestly, ten
tatively, until the gamblers see to
what extent the populace will play the
game and how lenient the authorities
will be. In some towns it doesn't take
hold 50 well. In others everybody
seems to play the numbers. Some of
these gamblers wax rich and power

BUCHAREST, Jan. 2Q.-Premier
Octavian Goga's anti-semitic govern
ment appeared today to be facing q
period Of economic uncertainty.
Since Goga took the governmental
helm In Rumania December %, the
prices Of almost all staples have gone
down. Government economists said
the development was to be expected
because Of business disturbance due to
sudden application of anti-Semitic
measures.
The government, apparently, has
made no effort to check the down.
ward price movement, and last night
it took steps which accelerated the
tendency.
Cuts Arbitrarily Ordered.
Saying It acted on behalf Of the
peasants, the finance ministry arbi-
trarily ordered cuts in the prices of
cotton goods. petroleum products and
salt. The price of standard quality
beef also was reduced.
A finance ministry Official said that
prices heretofore controlled by Jew
ish merchants" were being slashed for
the benefit Of Rumanian citizens.
The opposition element said the
government unexplainably was giving
impetus to the downward tendency in
all markets. which started with threats
to eliminate most Jewish businesses
without an adequate period Of read
justment.
Gosa May Get Majority.
Former Premier Alexander Vaida-
Voevod said he believed there was a
chance that Goga might receive a
working parliamentary majority in
elections March 2. but that even so
the jolt of trying to eliminate about
100000 Jews from Rumania's eco
nomic and social life on short notice
would be a severe trial for any govern
ment.
Peasant party leaders said business
disturbances had reduced appreciably
the governments internal revenues.
Meanwhile, the government intensi-
ned Its anti-Jewish drive by Issuing
orders making intermarriage of Jews
and gentiles virtually impossible.
