Most Cases Of Fraud
In Dependency Pay
Laid 10 Ignorance

After investigating more than 90,-
900 cases of suspected fraud, the
agency paying allowances to the
families of servicemen said today
that in most cases the guilty parties
were unwilling law breakers.
They didn't know, 1t was ex-
planned, that to be a serviceman's
relative is not enough. A brother.
sister. parent or grandchild has to
be dependent on the soldier for a
substantial portion of his or her
support. Z,

stops sending out checks much more
frequently than it takes offenders

there's conviction.
1000 Cases Discovered.
About a thousand cases so far
have showed sufncient evidence of
intent to defraud the Government
out Of checks to warrant action
against the suspects and less than
ESQ OF these cases have resulted in
criminal prosecution, Brig. Gen. H.
N. Gilbert, ODB director, said.
More than a hundred cases of al
legged fraud now are pending, the
ODB director said. OF these about
two-thirds will be tried in civil
courts and a third by military
courts-martial.
A number of cases" prosecuted
involved women who had married
several soldiers with the idea Of COL
lecting family allowances from each,
possibly with the hope of retiring
on them," the ODB director said.
They have RETIRED" he added, ito

4,521 Accounts Stopped.
Another fraud case cited involved
a soldier who had applied for a
family allowance for his dependent
father. giving Philadelphia ad-
dress. Investigation by the ODB
Field Investigations Branch brought
out the fact that the so-called de-
pendent father was life-termer
in a Pennsylvania penitentiary,
serving q sentence for murder.
AS a result of investigations by
the ODB and other Federal agen-
cies, Gen. Gilbert said, total Of
4,521 family allowance accounts
were discontinued in recent months.
Many letters, he revealed, are
coming in from neighbors of civil
ians who are not dependent on SOL

African rhinoceros.
Fritz died yesterday, carried away
in his youth. He was 16 years old

double cage and his housekeeping
was taken care of when he was in
the other compartment.

vim, executive secretary of Recrea-
ton Services, Inc, for support of
the services plan for a room for
servicemen's wives and babies in
the new center to be opened for SOL
diers a block from Union Station.
Although of the opinion space in
the station would be better for
mothers and babies, the committee
decided it will cooperate with Mrs.
Calvin in attempting to get equip
ment for the proposed room.
Recreation Services, Inc, wants
to supply heating facilities, cribs,
cots and other equipment. Volun-
teers also will be needed to watch
babies while mothers rest, Mrs.
Calvin said.
Miss Pearse asked members of her
committee to be on the lookout for
empty Office space to which her
workers could move from their pres
ent crowded quarters. She also
asked for more volunteers in the
day-care centers.
