 NAME INJECTED

Hollywood, Nov. 21.-(UP)-A cancelled check for $3,200 to George Raft, the film star, was found among the confiscated papers of Benjamin (Bugsie) Siegel, alleged West Coast representative of Mtr- der, Inc, the district attorneys of flee said today.
 The check was found among cor respondence which indicated that Siegel, under indictment for the murder last Thanksgiving of Harry (Big Greenie) Greenberg, had re- ceived $105, ,000 from a former con- vict, now said to be c Minneapolis millionaire. On this point, how ever, the district attorneys aides did not go into details.
 Raft readily admitted having cashed the check, which he said Siegel had given him in payment of 8 debt. He said he grew up" with Siegel in the Hells Kitchen district of New York.
 We went to school together, the actor said. "A few years ago, Siegel was hard up and asked me to lend him $3,20O, and I never did turn a pal down. He didn't pay me back at once and later when I heard he was in the money, asked him about it. He sent me check and that's all there was to it."
 Raft was the second Hollywood celebrity to have been mentioned in an investigation of charges that Siegel had enjoyed 18 jail leaves in the last 49 days, ate roast pheasant for dinner, wore tailored uniform and had another prisoner for a val ct. On one occasion, he dined with Actress Wendy Barrie.
