RACKET BUSTER
OFFERS ADVICE
SAYS CORRUPT POLITICS MUST
BE CLEANED UP BEFORE
DRIVE STARTED

CHICAGO-UP-One OF racket
buster Thomas Dewey's chief aids
believes "racKeteering never can
be wiped out by anti-vice and anti
gambling drives"
Paul E. Lockwood, executive as
sistant to Dewey in the New York
County district attorneys ONCE,
declares in the current issue OF
Northwestern Uniyersity's Journal
OF Criminal Law and Criminology'
that corrupt politics must be
cleaned up first" before rackets
can be curbed effectively.
Procuring protection from pros
ecution is an essential step in the
development OF a racket" he said.
The police department is the first
line OF defense OF the community,
the prosecutors Office the second
and the judiciary is the third. II
any OF the three is corrupt or has
rotten spots in It, the city is wide
open"
Pointing out that the prosecutor
OF rackets has the long unspectac-
ular task OF working from the bot
tom, Lockwood described the pro-
cedure employed by Dewey in com.
batting New York rackets:
The smaller fry are arrested,
charged with whatever crimes they
have committed. They are made 70
realize that punishment is ahead
Usually one OF the small fry breaks
down and agrees to turn states
evidence. The criminals in the bot
tom layer then implicate those on
the next level. This process must
be repeated in each stratum until
evidence is obtained that will reach
to the top and convict the boss"
The boss. he writes, is almost
always at far-removed point from
the actual perpetrator OF the
crimes.

buildings had disappeared shortly
after its abandonment in 1896.
However. highway workmen dig

upon what are considered GER
tainly the stone foundations OF the
forts old log buildings. The foun-
dations were feet under the cul-

the Missouri Valley.
The discovery came only a few
months after Jackson County had

struction Of the stockade and
buildings on their exact site over
the old foundations.
Fort Usage was built by Major
George Sibley, sent out from
Washington in 1904 after the
Lewis and Clark Expedition recon-
mended the bluff site as a far
western outpost.
II was established as a trading
post to win the confidence OF the
Usage Indians but It soon earned
much more important niche In
the history OF western expansion.
For il was because OF the protec-
ton afforded by the Fort that Sen.
Thomas Hart Benton succeeded in
obtaining $4,000 appropriation
from Congress to build a road
through from Fort Usage TO Santa
Fe. The road wagon path
became the Santa Fe Trail.

Supplies Become
Harder to Obtain

The supply Of materials needed
in production Of domestic articles
is becoming Increasingly difficult
to maintain, Olin c. Eckley. per
sonnet manager OF Central Special
ty Co., said today.
Mr.. Eckley declared that the sit
uation in many local plants is
such that as soon as one necessary
material is ''unfrozen" and begins
to flow freely for a time, officials
must quickly face the problem OF
"unfreeEing" other needed mater
ials.
The growing difficulty Of obtain
ing materials as needed has caused
the shifting of employees from
some Jobs to others. Mr.. Eckley
said. but has not necessitated ex-
tensive laying off. Central Spe-
cialty continues on a normal five
day schedule, he stated.
Production will soon begin on a
$1,000 prime defense contract for
SIS box assemblies for airfield
runway lights. Mr.. Eckley said.
The contract was received about
two weeks ago.

Issue of War.
Peace Left to
Jap Leaders
Basic Principles
Set by U. S.

Washington. Nov. 27-AP-Thc
United States put the issue Of
peace or war in the Pacific squarely
up to the japanese government to-
day.
II was for japan to accept or re
ject the formula Of basic principles
which the United States considered
essential to the maintenance uf
Peace and security in the Far
East.
And those basic principles. IN
their application, would be diane
trically opposed to the oft-restated
policies which Tokyo officials have
proclaimed for the greater East
Asia co-prosperity sphere" that
Japan emissions.
Relations between the United
States and Japan reached this
critical juncture late yesterday
after seven months of almost con-
tinuous diplomatic negotiations had
failed to find common ground for
the settlement OF existing differ
ences.
Secretary OF State Hull met the
impasse by presenting a formal
restatement OF the American gov
ernment's position to Admiral
Kichisaburo Nomura, the Japanese
ambassador. and Aburo Kurusa,
special Japanese envoy.
The restatement of basic princi-
pies was accompanied by recon-
mendations for their practical ap-
plication by japan In the Orient.
Practical application. 1t was said,
would involve abandonment OF .
program Of aggression, withdrawal
OF troops from China and French
Indo-China. and the inauguration
of peaceful economic policy.
