eating 800 corporations and individ-
uals who are suspected of black
market operations in textiles, the
Justice Department disclosed today.
One Of the officials directing the
inquiry said the reported transac-
tions involve many millions Of
yards Of textiles-from the raw state
to finished goods.
They have contributed material
ly to the present shortage of some
clothing" he added. For example,
shirts, pajamas and women's dresses
are included In the illegal deals"
Probe Is Nation Wide.
Asked where the investigation is
centered, the offlcial said 1T is
country wide from Boston to
Mississippi and from New York to
the West Coast.
Hundreds Of complaints have
been received, many of them anony-
nous. These have been narrowed
down to 800. which we now are in
vestigating."
The ofi1cial said the agents are
looking principally into these re-
ported practices:
/. Diversion into the black mar

istration.
A by-product of the investigation
Is the uncovering Of tax dodgers
The official said "the black mar
ket man and the income tax dodger
often are the same person. Many
times individuals and firms guilty
Of black market dealings hold back
taxes to cover up. When evidences
Of tax evasion turns up, Treasury
agents pursue the tax angle indie
pendent Of the black market angle.
Twenty-Five individuals and cor
porations already have been indicted
for black market textile operations
by the special grand jury which ha,
been in session in New York City
since December IL, 1945. 1t was i'm
impaneled at the direction of Attor-
ney General Clark to consider evil
dence uncovered by the Government
drive to smash the textile black mar
ket.

Seventeen of the indictments al.
lege that 1000 900 yards Of textiles
were diverted into the black market
at prices up to 800 per cent in excess

spiked an audacious scheme by
Japanese interests to recapture
Japan's lost prewar fishing business

A japanese company was promptly
denied request to enter American
nShing areas in American vessels
manned by Japanese crews. Head
quarters said the firm had planned
to can crab meat aboard and send
1t into the United States-duty free.
Because 1t would have come from

Butler Says Lumber Exports
CurtaiI Veteran HOUSING
by III. A,.oeia,... p,...

Senator Butler, Republican, Of
Nebraska contended today that
100, 900 potential houses for veter-
ans are being shipped abroad per
year. in the form of lumber ex-
ported to foreign countries"
Il do not see how we expect to
solve the housing problem in this
country today If. we are to export
such a substantial proportion of our
primary building material" he said
in statement.
Some Of my correspondence in
dicates that the cause of the exports
may be the higher price for export
lumber than the ceiling price In this
country. Certainly If that is the
case, American consumers are not
benefited by a price ceiling on lum-
ber that forces much of the availa-
BILE lumber into export and thus
prevents them from getting any
lumber at all, at any price"
Senator Butler and Senator
IKnowland, Republican, of Cali
fornia have introduced a resolution
calling for an investigation Of lum-
Der exports.
