past - he has met and bested virtually every
super-crook in the business.
Today Trey is planning and directing and
supervising and juggling figures harder than
he ever did before in his whole busy life.
On that fateful Sunday in l94l, five minutes
after the bombing Of Pearl Harbor had shat
tered American complacency, Trey had put
into action the first counterofensive against
Japan. Calling hundreds of his hand-picked,
scientifically trained undercover agents from
their homes, from churches, theaters, restau
rants and recreation centers all over the
nation he directed them to deserted offices
and banks to other mems homes, to water
front docks, hshermen's shanties and diplo
mats expensive residences. Moving quietly,
surely, these men seized ledgers and records.

boxes, placed japanese nationals here under
strict surveillance. Their chief, under in
creasing wartime pressure. has been working
like two beavers ever since.
Trey has higher rank and more duties
than formerly - Assistant to the Sec
retary of the Treasury - but his heart
and his influence still belong to the Lll
agency he began from scratch "a years [j
ago and built up, with the aid of five
associates. into the large and efficient
reinforcement body it has become today.
Many of the agency's cases are as exciting
as fiction thrillers. For example, there was the
ship captain who, about to weigh anchor for
port having close trade relations with Ger
many, had cleverly concealed tiny platinum
bars here and there in the hold among huge
quantities of grain cargo. Some OF his crew
Evening star., 1943-03-07

were even wearing heavly-wrought chains
of platinum around their necks - and plati-
mum is highly strategic material. Customs
men stepped in at the last moment and re-
treved the booty.
If you enter OF leave this country (the flow
over our north and south borders is unchecked
by the war; and you carry with you letters,
photos or briefcase, you'll discover that all
censors don't work for the Army, Navy or
Office of Censorship; some of them are Gus
toms men. Many scheme to send war mate
rials to blacklisted firms through dummy or
cover-up companies has been thwarted by
the Customs Service: many shipment OF
vital goods, broken into lots below the $25
customs limit, has not reached its Axis-sympa-
thetic destination simply because the Gus
toms men had a wary eye open.
Bootle0QeSs Beware
lHE work of Irey's alcohol-tax squadron
grows tougher every day. With collection of
increased excses on alcohol for internal use
and increased supervision over alcohol for
industrial use, these operatives find their
duties considerably expanded by the war.
In addition to bootleggers. dope peddlers
who have tried to victimize servicemen have
run into trouble with Irey's smooth-working
law enforcement group; narcotics agents
under his direction have broken up several
large rings recently. The soldier wounded on
the battlefield or the civilian lying in any
hospital can thank these men for protecting
their share of pain-killing drugs from hi
jacking by the dope rings.
To coordinate the far-hung work of his
5000 agents and their assisting staffs might
seem in itself gigantic task But Trey has
cooperating with him, in addition, almost
every state, city and local investigator as well
as railroad telegraph and telephone company
operatives - plus Army and Navy and Coast
Guard Intelligence Officers.
When Trey, born in Kansas City, Missouri,
but raised in the nations capital, went
through the public schools he was lust an
ordinary student more interested in fun than
books" with scarcely thought about a
particular career. After graduating from high
school he went to Georgetown Law School at
night, then entered government service as
Post Office stenographer.
In few years he became secretary to
the Chief Inspector and, when another
inspector was required, he was chosen
because he had some knowledge of the
work. He worked as an Inspector for while
on mail robberies and similar cases until Dan
iel Roper, then Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, sent for him. Roper was looking for
a man of unwavering integrity to head an
intelligence unit to ferret out the corruption
then existing in the Revenue Bureau, and to
start an organized drive against taxpayers
who were not taking the new income-tax laws
very seriously. Trey agreed to accept the post.
Though his S9,OOO-a-year salary (top civil
service pay is peanuts to what he could make
if he chose to 60 into private business, Elmer
Trey is quite satisfied to stay where he is.
Who wouldn't be satisfied? Out of everv hum
Evening star., 1943-03-07

YF YOU, as taxpayer, have any ideas about
outwitting Uncle Sam on this coming
. March Is, you'd better watch out for
Uncle Elmer.
You've never heard of Uncle Elmer:
Neither have most of Americas other tax
payers Yet this year there will be 27 million
of US - nine million more than last year -
who will have to play fair with the govern
ment or find out the hard way who Uncle
Elmer is
The big-ncome boys as we'll as the smaller
taxpayers who try to chisel - they already
know Uncle Elmer. For example, there was
"Nucky' Johnson, South Jersey political
car. who was suspected of reaping fortune
in tribute from the Atlantic City underworld
and even from legitimate businesses. Uncle
Elmer's skilled undercover operatives spent
four careful years trying to find evidence that
Nucky's income was larger than he reported
to the government. They checked by laws
of mathematical probability on his far-hung
numbers racket they kept tabs on certain
establishments in the vicinity, they estimated
and figured and watched. When they finally
were able to institute proceedings, their esti-
mates proved amazingly accurate, and John
Son quickly drew lO-year prison term and
a $4,000 fine.
Uncle Irey's men are just as sharp
when they're tracking down less famous
culprits. There was the determined citizen
in a certain Midwestern town who decided to
let the Bureau of Internal Revenue believe his
income was much less than he actually re-
ceived. By reporting phoney fees, salaries
paid to nonexstent employees, and by con-
Quoting many Of his negotiations in cash, he
was able to fool Uncle Elmer's men - for
time.
But one day an agent got suspicious. He
drove out to this mans supposedly modest
country home, saw the resplendent house and
the pure-bred livestock and the blooded
Horses, and decided to investigate further
Before that investigation was completed, the
crestfaen dodger gladly surrendered his
overdue taxes.

terfeiters, bootleggers - they've heard OF
Uncle Elmer too. His authority, his infu-
ence is everywhere. In the back room of cor
ner cigar stores, in the hill country of the
South on unlighted boats coursing towards
lonely beaches men whisper about him.
Uncle Elmer is Elmer Lincoln Trey, Chief
Co-ordinator of the Enforcement Agencies

funds, narcotics alcohol tax, smuggling and
counterfeiting as we'll as the gigantic internal
revenue.
Yet he doesn't look like cop He is

mistake for a Sunday School superintendent,
an honestly modest government official who
knows his job and knows how to do it with
a minimum OF fuss and feathers Now 54,

The action at the Stork Club that brought
