 Field Day
 For "PhOni0S' ,
By ARENE WOLF AP Features Writer

World War II is a field day for honies.
 While Americas servicemen bat tie on the war fronts. the FBI and other agencies are fighting the phony war on the home front. They are tracking down an ever-increas- ing number of war frauds - from phOny war heroes to organized rackets which fleece seryicemen and their relatives.
 Playing upon the emotions of families is one of the most ghoulish raekets. Casualty lists are good hunting grounds for fiends like one in New York who wrote dunning letters to dead serv- icemen, and counted on the be- reaved families sense of obligation to pay up. Others obtained juicy fees for "oil' paintings of men killed in. action then refused to re- turn original photographs until families paid exorbitant prices for ordinary enlarged color O O. graphs
 Uniform Frauds
 Hundreds of cases of illegal use of military uniforms are on record. Many phOny war heroes of both sexes used tall battle tales to cash no-account cheeks, avoid payment of bills, or just get in the social swim.
 Before Washington F. B. I. agents caught up with him, one major in Army Intelligence had proposed to and been accepted by three wo- men from whom he obtained about $1,000. He also established a

Thousands Bilked

Fund-raising phonies have milked the public of thousands of dollars. One brash outfit invited the public to pay 10 cents for the privilege Of signing a petition to Che President that America would win the war War orphans presumably were to be the beneficiaries.
 Even Park Avenue debs were duped into soliciting funds for a Park Avenue canteen, until author ities found the overhead was un- usually large. and the promoter was convicted for soliciting funds with out a license.
