Black Market
Runs Rampant
In Hong Kong

II
HONG KONG. - This British
colonial government admitting
its whole price control organiza-
ton has been undermined, has
declared war on a huge black
market ring which has been us
ing gangster tactics in getting
hold of imports of vital commod-
tiles.
Warning that it intends taking
action against those who permit
the stocks to reach black market
sources, the government said it
may take over the entire distri-
button of essential commodities.
The black marketeers employ
spies to watch Withdrawals from
the importers or wholesalers and
demand supplies sometimes the
entire shipment for which they
pay cash.
Often threatened, the importers
or wholesalers prefer not to re-
port the incidents.
The gangsters distribute goods
to street hawkers who add a
small percentage of profits. The
government feels it is useless to
deal with the haWkers on a big
scale, because for each hawker
arrested, another two take his
place.

political as well as an economic

Three Commended
After commencing Congressman
Frank Starkey, William Gallagher
and Harold Hagen for their support
of FEPC by signing the discharge
petition, Lehman received a round
