Commercial Frauds
Unit Is Formed
ByMurphy
Will Prosecute Cases
Under Securities and
Mail Statutes

Establishment of a Commercial
Frauds Unit in the Department OF
Justice to handle prosecution of
cases under the Securities Act and
the Federal mail frauds statutes
was announced today by Attorney
General Murphy.
At the same time, Assistant At
torney General Brien Mcmahon an
nounced that 34-year- old j. Albert
Woll, former Assistant States At
torney of Cook County (Chicago)
Ill, and now a special assistant to
the Attorney General, will head the
new unit.
The Attorney General said "estab-
lishment of such a unit is deemed
advisable because the true interest,
not only of the investing public, but
of the entire financial and economic
structure of the country will be best
served by an intensive effort to
stamp out frauds in violations" of
securities and mail laws.
Mr.. Murphy cited specifically the
securities Act OF 1888, the Securities
and Exchange Act of 1884, and the
Federal Mail Fraud Statutes.
The purpose of the new unit, he
said. 'is to facilitate closer cooper
alton of all Federal agencies in an
effort to curb commercial frauds
He said Postmaster General Farley
and Chairman Douglas of the Sc
curities and Exchange Commission
have pledged full operation with
its efforts.
Mr.. Woll was graduated from the
University of Illinois Law School in
1927 and for several years was as
sociated with Hope Thompson in
the practice of law in Chicago. Dur
ing his four years as assistant
States attorney, he prosecuted a
great number of criminal cases and
for two years was personal charge
of drawing all indictments returned
in the county.
In 1884, Mr. Woll was named Spe-
cial Assistant to the Attorney Gen
eral.

Hague Carries Fight
On t.. |. 0. Meetings.
To Supreme Court
Reversal of Decision
In Civil Liberties
Case Sought
BY the Associated Press.

Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey City
appealed to the Supreme Court to-
day from decision holding that
he and his police unconstitutionally
had denied the Congress of In
dustrial Organization and the Amer
ican Civil Liberties Union the right
of free assemblage.
Through attorneys, the Jersey City
Mayor also asked Associate Justice
Roberts to hold up enforcement of
the ruling by the Federal Circuit
Court at Philadelphia until the Su-
preme Court could pass on the
dispute.
Justice Roberts referred the re-
quest for stay to the entire court,
which held its usual Monday ses-
sions to deliver opinions.
Only one decision was forthcom-
ing. Speaking for the court, Justice
Reed ruled in favor of Texarkana,
Tex, in its suit to compel the
Arkansas-Louisiana Gas Co. to put
into effect gas rates as low as those
charged in TeXarkana, Ark.
Mayor Hague's petition contended
that "the sole issue in this case is
the extent to which public streets
and places shall be made a forum
for large gatherings of persons
upon particular occasions"
Jersey City was enjoined by the
Circuit Court from prohibiting
meetings by the two organizations.
The court also held unconstitu-
tional an ordinance under which
theNmeetings had been denied.
The c. I. O. and the American
Civil Liberties Union joined in the
request for Supreme Court review,
contending that "the issues involved
are Of paramount national concern" !"
They 60 to the roots of the Dem
ocratic process and the American
way of life. which are today chal-
lenged in various parts of the coun-
try by tactics of official suppression,
the c. I. o. petition said.

Czechs Hinted
By the Associated Press.

oJ tAC nSoOSAAtCA ASSOs
Sidney Morgan, secretary Of the
Tariff Commission, suggested today
that German glassware manufac-
turers might be trying to reach
American markets through Czecho-
Slovakian selling centers In order
to take advantage of the lower duty
on Czecho- -Slovakian products.
Mr.. Morgan said the matter would
be brought to the attention Of the
Treasury Department for whatever
action is appropriate"
(Czecho-Slovakia and the
United States have reciprocal
trade agreement, while Germany
is one of the few nations whose
products are not on the most
favored nation basis.)

on trade agreements of the cession
of the Sudeten area of CZecho-
Slovakia to Germany at hearings on
the independent offices appropria-
ton bill.

Security Act Reserve
Fund Might Absorb
National Debt
, III
Tox-Exempt Bonds /
Could Be Paid Off,
House Body Told

Continued operation Of the So
cial Security Acts reserve fund ulti-
mately would absorb the entire ma
tional debt and "get rid Of those
tax-exempt bonds we hear 80 much
about" 1t was brought out today
in the record Of hearings on the
Social Security Boards budget be-
fore House Appropriations sub
committee.
Chairman Arthur J. Altmeyer Of
the board explained to the COM
mittee that most Of tho old-age
insurance reserve account was in
vested In special 3 per cent Treas
ury notes. this investment amount
ing to $3.50 800 900 last November 80.
Under that law could you take
that fund (the money exchanged
for the Treasury notes. and pay of
tax-exempt bonds that have become
due?" asked Representative Fitz-
patrick.
Eyes, indeed" Mr.. Altmeyer re-
piled.
Wouldn't Advise Change.
Because" Mr.. Fitzpatrick said,
"after q few years we could get rid
OF those tax-exempt bonds that we
hear so much about; and there
would be money in the fund to
take care Of some 40 or SO million
workers Of this country, in place
OF just q few thousand people who
are receiving the benefits Of these
tax-exempt bonds now; Is not that
true?"
That is right" Mr.. Altmeyer said.
Since the hearing was held, how
ever, the Social Security Board has
recommended changes to extend
and Hberalize the act that would
deplete the reserve fund in an esti-
mated Is years.
Mr.. Altmeyer also said he would
not advise changing the present tax
aet-up OF the old-age insurance sys-
tenn now because "our cost estimates
are very, very crude" and "are sub
Ject to a margin of error Of at least
so per cent"
Mr.. Altmeyer estimated that IS
per cent of the gainfully occupied
persons in the Nation eventually
would be covered by the security
system. He said about 100000
benef1ciaries are registered now.
adding that the number was in
creasing by about 10000 daily. He
predicted that there would be some
expansion for the next 40 years.
Five Million May Be Covered.
Mr.. Altmeyer submitted a state
ment which said the number of
persons in receipt of old-age assist
ance under State law might reach
5000, 900 to 5,500,0OO in IS or 40
years. BY that time, he said. aid
may be extended to 100000 to
1000 900 children and $4,000 to
100000 blind persons.
Under the Federal old-age insur-
ance program. Mr.. Altmeyer stated.
the number of covered workers NAV
advance to between 100000 and
60,0OO,0O0 within 20 years, while
under the unemployment insurance
program the number of covered en-
ployes may reach 100000 to 35,-
100000.
AS Of last September, the chair
man said, public assistance was
being given to 1,737,781 aged people,
626, ,438 dependent children and 40
776 blind persons.
The old-age insurance program
covered 4l,203,514 employees and L.
100000 employers and the unemploy-
ment compensation plan 27,602 900
workers and 668, ,l66 employers.

guilds in Hollywood-brain-crafts- men such as writers, directors, press agents, readers-are scared silly of alliances either with c. I. o. or A. F. of L., and they are determined to preserve their autonomy for what it is worth.
 g. The producers, who as business men must oppose the guilds and unions, are in an embarrassing spot. So worried are they about an in- vasion by c. I. O. that they are hurrying to placate the l. A. T. s. E. with new working contract. But such a move must offend the actors, who will strike before accepting l. A. T. s. E. dominat tion
 ACTORS SPLIT
 AMONG SELVES
 Behind this lineup is much hard feeling and quiet maneuvering. The actors are united against I. A. T. S. but they are split three ways about how to oppose it. Some want to fight it out wityhin the lines now drawn; others argue for leaving the A. P. of l.. and becoming independent, and the leflt-wingers who are numerous and prominent, want to move into the c. I. o. camp. With so many alternatives there is little likelihood of an actors strike.
 The movie players really don't care about the fate of vaudeville, night club and circus entertain CTS, whose A. F. A. charter was rescinded, then reinstated by Green

CHILDREN ATTEND
 MUSICAL COURSE
Stringed Instruments De- monstrated Today in
 Several Numbers

This mornings music class for children at the Bronson library was devoted largely to the stringel in- struments, the aristocrats of the symphony orchestra. The children. with the benefit of specially record ed music illustrative of the violin, the viola the cello, the bass viol and the harp, learned the outstand- ing characteristics of each, and and had some practice in distin- gushing between them. They have already taken up the percussion and woodWind instruments.
 On the program were cello solta of Rimsky- -Korsakoff's Plight of thS Rumble Bee" and Songs Ky Moth Taught Me-" by Anton Dvorzak, and violin solo by Jascha Heifetz, with John Barbirolli and the London Symphony orchestra, of "Zigeuner- weisen," or Gypsy Airs. Also played this morning were 'The En- trance of the Little F'auns" by Pierne, and a recording of the Hun- garian Dance No. 5 of Johannes Brahms, played by the Boston Pops orchestra, under the direc- ton of Arthur Fiedler.

Fair showgirls. The Hollywoodsmen merely are alarmed because when George Browne, head of the Stage hands Union issued a new charter to Miss Fuckers group he also ser- we'd notice that the l. A. T. s. E. intended to extend control over ev- eryone in all the entertainment fields.
 If Browne means business he can call out the essential l. A. T. s. E. technicians and close every theater and studio in which un- friendly actors are working. FILMDOM
 SUSPECTS BLUFF
 But Hollywood thinks Browne is bluffing. Observers suggest that he expects only to tighten his grip on the large and lucrative technical side of the film inddustry. It is pre- dicted that if he gets what he wants, his union will abandon Miss Tuck CTS ganization and withdraw threats to the control the Actors Guild and Equity.
 There has been a good deal of grumbling within I. A. T. s. E.. ranks here about the autocratic and secret dealings between Browne and the producers.
