Against Lumber
Black Market
Agencies to Attack
Illegal Operations
At All Levels
By Robert J. Lewis

-Four agencies of the Govern
ment today opened a combined
attack" on the "heart of the
black market" in lumber and
other building materials.
The "full authority" of the Gov
ernment will be invoked against "all
levels of operations" including pro-
ducers, carriers, distributors and
consumers.
In joint statement, Housing Ad-
ministrator Wyatt, Attorney General
Clark, Secretary of the Treasury
Snyder and OPA Administrator Por-
ter said measures will include crimi-
nal prosecutions, tax investigations
and prosecutions, treble damage
suits, injunctions and other actions
Tax Prosecutions Started.
Attorney General Clark revealed
that reports on some income tax
violators in black market activities
had been referred to United States
Attorneys for prosecution.
Actions already taken by the Gov
ernment, Mr.. Wyatt said, are only
the forerunner of the breakdown
the black marketeers may expect
from every Government source"
This Government" said Mr.
Wyatt, "is not going to permit boot
leggers of lumber and other build
ing materials to continue to pile up
their illegitimate profits at the ex-
pense of the veterans and their
families who are being deprived OF
decent shelter because of black
market operations"
Tax Frauds Uncovered.
The. four-agency announcement
revealed that the Internal Revenue
Department. checking on 20 known
or suspected lumber black market
operators now being investigated" J"
had uncovered probable tax frauds
growing out of black market opera
tions in Is cases.
From the remainder additional
taxes" will be produced, the an
nouncement said.
The check of suspected violators
was made at the direction of Joseph
D. Nunan, jr., commissioner of in
ternal revenue.
In view of what Government Off
cials termed the success" of this
check, OPA will supply the Internal
Revenue Bureau "on a continuing
basis" with additional lists of sus-
pected black market dealers and
producers.
Investigators Trained.
Secretary of the Treasury Snyder
said his department will investi-
gate all such cases, thus protect
ing the revenue and continuing the
departments part in fighting the
black market"
In accordance with a ruling made
some time ago, he said, the Treas
ury will disallow as business ex-
pense, amounts paid over ceiling
prices, thus reaching buyers as
well as sellers
OPA Chief Porter said 600 in
vestigators have been specially
trained for the agency's intensive
drive so they can combat various
dodges used by black market opera
tors, including "upgrading," cash
on the side," bets against delivery"
and short measure.
In addition, he said, special agents
are working closely with commodity
investigators.

A new $685. 100000 cash allot-

tration was recommended today
by the House Appropriations
Committee.
The UNRRA item was the most
controversial and largest of a group
of miscellaneous appropriations in
"a s726,571 ,s09 deficiency supply bill
sent to the House floor for debate
starting tomorrow.
It is expected to touch off bitter
Wrangle over whether any of the
new money should be spent in Rus

American news and radio CORE
spondents free access to news of
UNRRA operations. Representa-

letting any UNRRA funds go to
nations putting restrictions on
United States newsmen.
Two Withhold Permits.
President Truman notified Con-
gress last Monday that all foreign
nations receiving UNRRA aid, ex-
cept the two Soviet republics of
Byelorussia and the Ukraine, have
made arrangements to allow Ameri-
can correspondents to report with
out censorship on UNRRA activities.
In addition to the new UNRRA
funds. the bill carries $106, $50 900 for
the Office of Price Administration
and $27, 7,750,000 for the selective
service system. Generally, the money
is intended to tide over the agencies
during the current fiscal year and
meet anticipated shortages in the
next year.
The bill also cancels $3,065, ,486, ,427
in appropriations previously granted
for war activities, mainly for the
Army and the Navy. The new can
cellations bring to $64 1926, ,626, ,487 the
amount of wartime appropriations

for cancellation since the war ended.

The United States cruiser
Fargo was expected to arrive off
Trieste today to augment an
Anglo-American show of naval
strength backing up occupation
forces in that spot of potential
trouble with Yugoslavia and
Russia.
The Navy Department said the
Fargo was ordered to leave Malta
yesterday for Trieste, where the
American destroyers Powers and
Small and several British warships
already are concentrated.
Trieste is key point in United
States differences with Russia over
terms of an Italian peace treaty
which the Big Four foreign minis
tiers are attempting to work out in
Paris.
YugOslav Forces Massed.
Secretary of State Byrnes has in
sisted that Trieste must be Italian
while Soviet Foreign Minister Molo-
tov has held out for giving it, as well
as all the surrounding Venezia Giu-
liza area, to Yugoslavia.
Several recent reports of possible
Yugoslav attempt to seize the city
from Anglo-American occupation
troops have made officials here jit-
terry over the danger of an explosion
there of far-reaching repercussions
Yugoslavia is known to have con-
centrated forces in the vicinity that
are much greater in number than
the American and British occupa-
ton troops. Soviet support of the
Yugoslav demand for Trieste in
creases the potential danger.
Fargo Is 10,000-Tonner.
The Navy Department did not dis
close the specific reason for sending
the Fargo to Trieste, but spokes-
man said the function of the Amer
ican warships in the Mediterranean
is to support the army of occupa-
ton"
The Fargo, a new 10,000-ton cruis-
er with IL 6-inch guns, II 5-inch
guns and smaller armament, and the
2,400-ton destroyers Powers and
Small comprise all the present
American naval strength in the
Mediterranean, the spokesman said.
Vice Admiral Bernhard H. Bieri,
commander of the Mediterranean
force, was reported aboard the Fargo
which is under command of Capt.
Wyatt Craig of Russellville, Ala.
The Navy Department here could
not disclose British naval strength
in the troubled region, but news dis
patches from Trieste said that al
together there are 10 British and
American warships in the area.
The British Naval Attache here
said British vessels in the region
included the cruisers Mauritius and
Liverpool, the destroyer Childers
and the frigate Start Bay. He
pointed out that the British keep
many warships in the Mediterra-
mean, and said he did not have de-
tailed information on what other
craft may now be in the Trieste
area.

From The State
Health Officer

Salad dressings made with miner
al oil are still to be found on gro
Gerry shelves. In spite of repeated
warnings by medical and nutrition
authorities some housewives are
still using mineral oil as substitu-
tie for fates or as the basis of So
called reducing" diet. Whether for
cooking purpose or as a self pres
cribed laxative, indiscriminate use
of mineral oil may be dangerous
to health.
Mineral oil is not a food. Instead
of adding to the value vitamin K,
calcium and phosphorus; even if
taken as laxative at time other
thaon meal, it may interfere with
the ~body's use of these essential
vitamins and minerals. Continued
use of mineral oil may result in
loss of appetite, indigestion, flatul-
ence, constant fatige, nervousness
and loss of weight.
Unless it is prescribed by a ply
sician, mineral oil should never
taken by expectant mothers, for
it may lower the supply of vitamin
K which is necessary for normal
blood CLOTHING and which prevents
hemorrhage of newborn infants. In
addition, the unwise use of mineral
oil may result in such lowered Wit
atty and resistance that a person
becomes easy prey to various in
fections.
