Postal Fraud Order
Halted by Court in
Magazine Contest

Justice Alexander Holtzoff of Dis
trict Court yesterday afternoon
granted an injunction which per-
manently enjoins Postmaster Gen.
eral Hannegan from enforcing a
fraud order issued in connection
with a puzzle contest conducted by
the magazine Facts.
Justice Holtzoff, in. a memo
randum opinion found there was no
substantial evidence on which the
Postmaster General could issue the
fraud order, which would have re-
strained several plaintiffs from re-
ceiving any mail at their New York
address. This would have had the
effect of stopping the puzzle contest.
Plaintiffs in the suit included the
Publishers Service Co., Inc; two
subsidiary corporations, namely,
Read Magazine, Inc, described as
publishers of the magazine Read
and Facts, and Literary Classics,
Inc. The individual plaintiffs were
an officer and an employee of Read
Magazine, Inc.
The Postmaster General previous
ly had been restrained from enforc-
ing the fraud order, pending final
outcome of the injunction suit.
In his opinion, Justice Holtzoff
criticized the fraud order and the
applicability of the law pertaining
to the order in connection with the
case
Elsewhere in his opinion, Justice
Holtzoff found the puzzle contest
has not been conducted for profit,
but as a kind of advertisement for
circulation purposes. He also ex-
pressed the view that it would be
unfair to some $1,000 persons re-
naming in the contest out of an
original more than 1879 900 to fore
close the plaintiffs by administrative

Daring Transfer to Hospital Ship
Suved Stricken Marines Life

Delayed The life of stricken
Marine literally hung in the balance
between two ships, tossing in heavy
sea, as two men held in their hands
the rope that carried the Marine to

gency operation.
If the tension on the rope had
become too great, it would have
snapped, plunging the Marine into
the sea. If the men holding the line
had allowed too much slack, it
might have meant a fatal plunge
into the cold water.
But there were no slips, and the

The speed of the present Allied

to the prompt reshaping of plans so
far as they will be put into effect
with the end of the European phase
of the war.

to avoid any wholesale desertion of

House Group Delays
Action on Appeal 10
Raise Relief Amounts

Chairman Coffee of the District
subcommittee of the House Appro-
priations Committee yesterday de-
ferred decision on the plea by Dis
trict welfare officials for permission
to raise relief payments, so as to
eliminate a 10 per cent cut i'm
posed last January.
To return to the preliminary
levels, it was estimated, would
mean running a deficit of about
$4,000 by the end of the fiscal year,
June 80. Also there was a sug-
gestion. that relief clients be given
cash payments for the amount of
the 10 per cent cut, back to Janu-
ary, requiring another $4,000.
Mr.. Coffee said he could see no
occasion for making the higher
payments retroactive, but said he
would consult with other members
of his subcommittee before acting
on proposals that full relief grants
be restored.
The requests were made by Edgar
Morris. president of the Public Well
fare Board, and Ray l.. Huff, well
fare director. Attending also were
