What he found was ii brand new
racket. Some unpatriotic ratiOning-
wreckers had the bright idea of split
ting the red tokens with Il razor blade
and colOring the split side with lip
stick They got by, since markets are
crowded in this busy war area. Our
union detective found aS many as 30
of the phony tokens in one market
alone.
In another market he stumbled on
bigtme meat gambling and no ceilings
ON steaks either. \ customer walked
up To the counter with 12O red tokens.
explaining calmly that he had won
them in poker game Both red and
blue tokens We're used as chips, he
said.
