In War to Breok Up Whole
Underworld System
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. THE Ma
tion's greatest assault on organized
crime, delving into underworld ter
rorism in half dozen major cities,
opened today with the presentation
of a 5O0,0OO-word encyclopedia of
crime" before a special Federal
grand jury.
Thirty patrolmen were assigned to
guard witnesses in the sweeping in
vestigation.
Dominated by the shadowy figure
of Louis Nepke) Buchalter, AZ,
beady-eyed Manhattan racketeer
and Will-o'-th the-Wisp target of an in
tensive dead or alive" manhunt, the
inquiry was described by Attorney
General Frank Murphy as the out
growth of secret, concerted action
by Federal agents for several
months.

ply said. will be launched in Chi
cago, New Orleans, Boston and other
key centers, perhaps including
Miami, Philadelphia and San Fran

"One of the major objectives will

Buchalter Case First.
Although United States Attorney
John T. -Cahill, directing the Ma
ton wide anti-crime war through a
central clearing house" here, said
the inquiry was broader than any
case or criminal" it was known the
grand jury would quickly direct its
attention to the Buchalter case.
A fugitive for two years, sought
both in this country and abroad at
cost of S250,000 a year, 'Lepke" is
wanted as the alleged master mind
in narcotics operations. in various
industrial rackets and in a series OF
notwithstanding murders Of wit

Only two weeks ago, a abid-
ing music publishing official who
lived quietly in the Bronx with his
wife and two children. was moved
down by gunner as he walked to
the subway-apparently in mistake
for a witness against "Lepke." Dis
trict Attorney Thomas E. Dewey has
blamed four other murders on Bu-
chalter's war of extermination'
against witnesses.
HarbOring to Be Attacked.
Federal authorities said their far
flung search for the former racket
overload indicated he had been pro-
tected by a criminal underground
railway-such as was used in spirit
ing runaway slaves out of the South
in the Civil War-Which enabled
him TO find shelter almost any
where.
This investigation particularly
strikes at harboring criminals Mr.
Cahill remarked, because that is
the basis of the criminal system
Organized crime cannot endure
when it is deprived of its imple-
mentS."
The Federal prosecutor said wit
nesses from the Southwest, Middle
West and Pacific Coast would be
called before the grand jury to give
direct evidence in support of the
voluminous crime encyclopedia
compiled by G-men. which report

Biggest Arms Orders
Since World War
Put in Shape
Army to Let Contracts
For 1000 WorpIones,
Engines, Equipment

BY the Associated Press.
The largest American arms con-
tracts since the World War are be-
ing put into shape at the War De-
partment to throw the expansion
of Army air forces into full swing.
officials said today that mass Or
ders would be placed possibly this
week for more than 1000 warplanes,
engines and equipment costing some
$16O 100000.
Imminent purchases of guns,
tanks and other weapons by the
Ordnance Department are expected
to swell the total of arms orders in
the immediate future beyond $780,
100000.
Thus the reinforcement of aerial
and land forces voted by Congress
in the wake of last years billion
dollar expansion of the fleet is ex-
pected to be in high gear within
seven months of President Roose-
velt's January IL defense recon-
mendations.
Half the "a American aircraft
manufacturing plants and the three
principal engine makers already are
turning out planes for the Army
Some were given orders three
months ago when the first contracts
were placed to speed attainment of
the objective of at least $500 planes
in service by mid-1941.
To increase the capacity of the
industry to produce warplanes in an
emergency. officials hope to spread
the additional orders as much as
possible among the other plants.
AS means to this end, the War
Department asked Congress for au
thority to modify the competitive
bidding system by awarding con-
tracts to any of three lowest bid
ders, but the measure was blocked
in the closing hours of the session

Hints to Gardeners ey Harold Coulter
 Plant Expert Ferry Seed Station
Proper Watering

MACH year more and more gar. E deners are learning that gardens should not be watered by sprinkling.
 Sprinkling tends to moisten the surface soil only and thus encour. ages root growth at that point. When the root system is concen- 'trated near the surface there ia more danger of injury by hoeing: and if sprinkling is not done con. stantly plants will be quickly at- sfeeted by drought.
 Much of the. plant food to be ah- sorbed by the roots is deeper in the lsoil, and if plants are induced by Tight sprinkling to root near the surface they may be partially starved.
 Too frequent sprinkiing is mad. 'sIsable also because it tends to pro. mote miidew, a fungus disease which preys disastrously on several flower favorites, particularly zinnia.
 Considered from the time angle. sprinkling is impractical. 1t can safely be done only in the evening, co water sprinkled on foliage under . hot sun may lead to damaging 1colding. There is. moreover. great waste of time in holding c hose and directing the spray.
 The most elIlcient method of watering ia to lay the hose on the JEr0uld, letting the water sink deep Into tho soil around the growing ro0ta.

 Good morning, MT. Ladd," the headwaiter hurried forward. "1t's quite all right. We have just opened the doors" He smiled apologetically. But our guests seem to follow the Continental custom of breakfasting in their rooms"
 He led the way to 8 table over- looking Central Park.
 '@That mans a diplomat" com- mented Ladd. He didn't bat an eye at your evening clothes"
 Mary smiled. "He used to work at Zelli's in Paris. He still thinks Americans wear their evening clothes at breakfast.
 "But they've usually been for 8 drive through the Bois. And we've come from the morgue."
 Ladd studied the menu. What about kippered herring or broiled Kidneys? I think we've earned a man-sized breakfast after a night like that"
 "All right. I'll break my rule" Mary smiled. T never take any, thing but orange juice and black coffee. but kipered herring is a weakness"

 "Even if we haven't solved the mystery of Janice French and Duke Martin?"
 "Yes," he paused. He didn't know why but Mary seemed ex- ceedingly pleasant to rest his eyes upon. That doesn't mean I won't be raising the devil in another hour over 1t. but right now I'd rather think of you"
 Mary didn't question his remark. Instead she looked out the window Then she turned her eyes full on hir,. He had never appreciated thei- beauty before. They were like sersae. dark, cool pools.
 And I would rather talk about Janice" she said. T can't get her out of my mind."

IF there is one thing the Hun- A garians wish in the current Eu- ropean crisis it is to be left ab- solutely alone. Hungarians are inordinately proud of their nation. of their age-old heritage. They are getting along better today than most of the Danubian states and they brook no interference.
 That interference, of course, has already come from the Nazis with the result that Hungary has sup pressed the organ of the Nazi party. Hungary, moreover, has launched a nationwide patriotic movement whose slogan is Hun gary for the Hungarians." The country has gone even SO far as 10 issue a special set of postage stamps selling" this idea to the nation and to the world.
 The program may not be so easily carried out, however. With the shifting of many boundaries in Europe in recent months, Hun- gary has become once more frontier nation.
 Even should the Reich make no territorial demands on Hungary, the little nation might conceivably suffer from economic "occupa- tion." Already there is a grow ing fear in this direction. Hun- garians do not want to make bread for the German armies. Meanwhile, there is nothing to do but intensity Hungary's national ism, preaching it in schools. churches and on every hand.
