lem for narcotics agents. Thievery along
this line has increased greatly because
of the rising prices and diminishing sup
plies Of all foreign weeds"
Taxes are needed for the purchase Of
military equipment if a sure victory is
to be ours. Thus the intelligence unit,
headed by Elmer Trey, is working many
hours overtime to force the proper pay
ment of income tax by those few who
seek to evade it. AS result. numerous
figures in public life receive heavy fines
and Jail sentences for Slight over

Foreign Funds Control has its hands
full these days meeting, trick-for- trick,
the attempts of enemy powers to get their
hands on millions of dollars in cash and
valuables, which once belonged to Japa-
nese alien-residents in this country. So
far the enemy has been outwitted at
every turn by our prodigy Of pecuniary
protection"
Agents Highly Trained.
The efficient manner in which these
men work can best be explained by the
quality and thoroughness of their train
ing Each agent is educated in criminal
law, court and investigation procedure.
These courses are not given in several
easy lessons, but extend over the entire
period of mans service.
If an important narcotics case arises
in -of-the-way Bend, Greg, and the
nearest man is a customs inspector in
Portland, the customs agent will be sent
to Bend. He can be depended upon to
have the situation well under control by
the time narcotics man arrives.
A chief policy of the Treasury is to
keep a man in one place as long as pos
sible. This will give him chance to
learn the necessary people. hangouts and
traits of criminals or suspects in that
area When a case breaks forth the
going is much easier than If he were new
to the locale.
The intelligence unit which Chief Trey
supervises along with his coordination
job was organized shortly after the
First World War. The commissioner Of
internal revenue, then Daniel c. Roper,
drafted six men from the post office in
spectors, placing Trey in charge. Their
duty was to stop all income tax and
other internal revenue frauds. Trey
not only saw to this, but in his first 20
years Of service collected more than
$400. 900 900 in taxes and penalties, broke
up great liquor rings, trapped kidnapers
and racketeers, brought illegitimate
sheriffs and governors to justice and
uncovered famous and valiant" public
figures as bribing hypocrits.
Chief Trey has also been responsible
for bringing to justice such notable fig.
ures as AL Capone, Waxey Gordon.

. facilities. One official says that he can
think of only three or four more items
which are likely to be rationed in the
foreseeable future.
Of all the nations at war, reports in
dicate that the black market is worst
in Italy, where food and clothing are
extremely scarce and where there is a
very unequal distribution of income.
La Via Italiana, a monthly magazine
noted for its ultra-fascist viewpoint, said
in a recent editorial:
Every one knows that what is difficult
to obtain with ration card can be
easily had without it. 1t is only neces-
sary to pay the price of the special
market ="

T>Men Wage War on Alien Business Firms

Documents were seized In many es-
tablishments. A powerful two-way radio
set was found in West Coast tailoring
shop. In other quick thrusts, agents
thoroughly investigated alien banks,
steamship companies. travel agencies,
import-export firms and news agencies.
For all this, agents were called from
homes, theaters and other places of
recreation, in what might be called the
speediest mobilization of United States
force This success can be attributed
to the strong coordination and team
work Of Treasury enforcement agencies
under the supervision of Chief Trey.
Civilian Guards Recruited.
When everything had been taken we'll

shooters, group of civilian guards, in
vestigated for their competence and
trustworthiness, we're recruited to take
over the situation. The agents returned
to their regular duties, which had been
increased in importance since the war.
Besides the gigantic task Of instruction
in routine matters of these positions,
intensive training in the handling of
explosives and chemicals was given the
civilian protective force. According to
Chief Irey's latest report, approximately
40 agents are supervising this job, while
civilian guards and inspectors have
taken over the detail work.

Have rationing and price controls
brought America to the verge OF another
orgy of lawlessness such as the prohlbl-
ton era?
The sneaking, smirking vice of the
black markets spread like plague over
all the countries of Europe when search
ties of consumer goods necessitated eco
nomic restrictions, and now the United
States also is suffering from scarcities.
Price ceilings have been placed over
dozens of items; tires and automobiles
have been rationed, and presently ra-
tioning of sugar and gasoline will COM
mence. Some other items sooner or
later will be added to the list.
When Europeans couldn't buy on the
legal market all they wanted OF certain
goods, some of them dealt with illegal
traders until, in varying degrees IN
different countries, an underworld eco
nomic system developed.
The black market obtains supplies
through stealing, racketeering, hl-JacK-
ing and the corruption of farmers. petty
officials and shopkeepers. Its stealthy
deals are all cash tIdllSdCCioiio, iOi ~
checks were passed a trail would be
left. It's prices are at least two ana
three times as high as the legal rates.
By defeating the rationing system 1t
takes from the poor the little food and
clothing which is allotted them under
the law and puts it in the hands OF
those with money.
The earnings of the black traders go,
untaxed, into the pockets of vicious or
venal men who are willing to profit un-
Justly from the war and, in time OF
national peril, thwart their countrys
efforts to maintain stable and healthy
economic front.
The success of black markets, one
scholar points out depends largely on
the temperament of the people-thelr
attitude toward law, their patriotism,
their sympathy with the war effort and
the economic controls which it re-
Quires.
The Ofice of Price Administration,
which has charge Of rationing and price
controls, is betting that Americans will
not support large black market. There
will be some shady dealing, but not
Evening star., 1942-03-29

In Germany, where the ration laws
are strictly enforced except for the
inner group of politicians. there does
not seem to have been much black
trading until quite recently. Reports
indicate that it is on the increase. how
ever, and recently four persons were
executed for it.
. A clue to the situation in Austria was
provided on February TO- when the
Gauleiter of Vienna, man named Jury,
in radio address to the peasants said
that the government had exhausted its
patience with illicit food trading and
black slaughtering the killing of ami
mails without the required government
supervisory. He forecast severe control
measures.
The Interallied Information Commit
tee in London reported recently that
Nazi political leaders are operators of
black markets in all the occupied coun-
tries. Great quantities of food are sent
out of the already starving countries,
supposedly for distribution to the Ger
man public. But much of it is sent back
to the occupied countries and sold at
large profit.
In Croatia, the press recently COM
planned that black market prices for
goods we're 100 per cent more than the
controlled price.
Japan has notorious black market,
according to experts. They attribute it
largely to the debased social status of
the merchant class, who traditionally
rank beneath other groups.
In France, according to one scientist
vino recently came from there, about 90
per cent Of the people deal at times with
the black traders. Most restaurants and
hotels have a regular menu, setting forth
legal prices and food allotments. But if
bring you the illegal menu, from which
you can order good meal.
In occupied France, the situation is
further complicated by the presence in
many towns Of German soldiers and Of
fcials, who are the black markets best
customers.
In England. the black market has
caused embarrassment and anguish to
doughty Britons who hate to see any
Haunting of the law, but close observers
say that the total trade probably is not
extensive.
The Food Ministry has prosecuted &c.
927 violators since the war started. much
of the contraband being imported goods
which was stolen from the docks. The
ministry claims that master minds direct
the operations, and that in London the
racketeers meet in the hours before dawn
to agree on prices for the day.

relating in letters Of gold and red and
black the story of the annunciation.
Chips had fallen asleep or was feign-
ing sleep, and Mrs. Terhune began talk
ing of the collies.
When her husband made his will 10
years ago they had about IS dogs. He
had declared she could keep the dogs or
dispose of them as she wished, even to
having the older ones put to painless
death.
The will never had been changed. but
the collie population had dwindled to
less than a dozen, and Mrs. Terhune
decided not to part with any of them.
People might plead or offer big sums,
but the dogs would remain with her.
The phone rings day and night" she
said. MY lawyers have received re-
quests for dogs. have had about a
thousand or more letters Of sympathy
from friends and strangers and intend
answering every one. But the letters
asking for dogs are mostly from people
who want something for nothing. The
dogs are not for sale and will not be
given away. AS long as I live they
shall stay there"
Her heart warmed to the collies as she
talked of them and she drew forth from
theNtreasure chest of her memory many
a tale.
There was Sunnybank Laddie-all the
Terhune collies are Sunnybank this-or-
that-who didn't like to ride in a car.
and Sunnybank Wolf who did. And
