Argentine Lottery
Is Boycotted After
Scandal in Operation
People Refuse to Buy
Tickets After Expose
OF Freud in Drawing

~ the Associated Press.
BUMOS AIRES, Nov. 4.-Rocked
by the biggest scandal in the II
years Of its operation. Argentina's
national lottery which annually
takes In $4,000, 900 from a willing
citizenry is feeling the pinch Of
public boycott.
Principal victims Of declining
profits are various charities which
share 80 per cent-usually about
e5,000, 000-of the total amount OF
money bet in the 45-odd drawings
held during year.
It was estimated in advance that
1912 figures would be below par be-
cause of rising living costs and
decline in tourist travel. Then Con-
gress began to investigate reports OF
Irregularities in the distribution of
tickets to be sold. While this in
vestigation was in progress, seven
youthful employees of the lottery and
the father of one of them were
arrested for manipulating the draw
Ing of September 4, so that the 300,-
900 peso first prize (about $75,000
fell to a ticket they held jointly.
4 100000 Pesos Affected.
Police estimated the total amount
affected by the fraudulent draw at
q half million pesos since persons
'in the know" also purchased tickets
In provincial lotteries. whose win
ming numbers are governed by the
national drawing in Buenos Aires.
The accused manipulators, known
as "ninos cantores" (boy singers)
because they sing out the figures as
they pick numbered balls from vari-
olls tables, e-enacted for the benefit
Of Judge Ramon F. Vasquez how the
balls were "palmed" to produce the
fraudulent result.
REPORTS of a "phony" draw had
hegun to circulate in the capital the
day before due to the desire Of the
boy singer" one of them is a
minor-to tip their friends to good
thing. These tips were used to play
in an Illegally operated game called
'quinielas," similar to the numbers
racket in the United States, based
on the lottery's terminal figures.
9 Paper Prints Rumor.
EThe word spread so fast on Sep
TENDER 3 that the next days lottery
top prize would end in "025" that
'quinielas" bankers refused to take
any bets on the number. One news
paper even printed the rumor-an
indiscretion which led to the gradual
discovery of the whole fraud.
with the subsequent investigation.
"31025" became the best known
number in Argentina and although
cartoonists joked about 1t and a bur-
lesque house staged skit called Los
Ninos Cantores Del OBS" it was no
laughing matter to the lottery
patrons.
The cost of administering the ma
tional lottery is 100000 pesos a year.
Last year 56945, 900 pesos were paid
ii prizes and 20945,000 went to
charity. The charities also reaped
523, 900 pesos in unclaimed prizes.
Barring an unforeseen heavy play on
the Christmas drawing when the
first prize is 100000 pesos (about
$500, 0OO), receipts for 1912 will not
reach $4,000. 900 pesos, considerable
drop from the 81 100000 of last year

Meat Rationing Planned for i. s.
As Demand Climbs Above Supply

Even though the u. S. will have
record production of "a billion
pounds of meat at the end of 1912,
Mr.. and Mrs America are facing
''meatless days" and eventual meat
rationing.
But there is a very good-and
ecessary-reason why these things
should (and Wild take place.
First there is the fact that our
fighting forces are needing plenty
of meat now, and are going to need
lots more before the type of peace
we want is won.
Then, there is the matter of sup
plying our fighting Allies, and their
civilian population, with plenty Of
meat 10 keep them in top fighting
and working condition.
Finally, there is the fact that our
civilian working people here in the
United States, working harder than
ever before to turn out the weapons
to smash the Axis, need more meat
to keep up their energy.
It is these three important CEN
ters of demand for meat, and meat
products, which will bring about
the meatless days, and meat ra-
tioning. The total demand for meat
in 1912 will amount (including all
sources) to 81 billion pounds. There
will only be a "a billion pound sup
ply to fill the minimum demand.
Consequently, to cut down the
meat demand to the available sup
ply, this nations civilian popula-
tion will have to eat less meat.
For we can't take the meat away
from our fighting men. And we
also must keep sending our Allies
enough to keep up their war effort.
The Coolidge examiner., 1942-09-18

Claude r. Wickard, secretary OF
agriculture, and chairman Of the
foods requirements committee, the
committee which is supervising the
nations meat conservation pro-
gram, has outlined just what meth
DDS are to be taken so that the de-
mand will equal the supply of meat.
First, there will be a WPB con-
servation order limiting the amount
of meat which packers can sell into
civilian trade in this country. This
order will give our civilians about
21z pounds of meat per person per
week, as contrasted with the one
pound to the British civilian, II
ounces to the German, ounces to
the Belgian, and about 4 ounces to
the Italian.
But still the civilian meat sup
ply will be less than civilians would
buy.
Then, to assure everyone a
chance to buy his fair share of the
total, rationing will be put into eff
feet. But because of the enormity
Of the meat rationing problem, such
won't take place in less than four
months.
That government officials mean
business is noted in recent news
notes where So government restau-
rants-located in various federal
buildings, and under government
direct upervision-have already
instituted meatless menu days; the
other being when the Office Of Price
Administration sought injunctionS
against at least 100 meat packers
in 10 states to restrain them from
improperly grading beef cuts to
evade price ceilings.
