Legality Of Gambling
Arrests Up 10 Squad,
Letterman Contends

Inspector Oscar J. Letterman' S
antigambling squad will continue to
make arrests if and when they feel
legally entitled to do so, the inspec-
tor said yesterday in answer" to an
attack earlier in the day in which
the legality of some gambling ar
rests was termed highly question
able"
Judge Walter J. Casey, in Munich
pal Court yesterday, charged that in
some cases gambling violators have
been accused of felonies to cover the
absence of warrants and that the
charges later are reduced to misde-
meanorS. Arrests for miSdemeanors
may be made without warrants only
when offenses are committed in the
presence Of arresting police.
Inspector Letterman said that
while an estimated 80 per cent OF
gambling arrests are made with war
rants, it sometimes happens the
time element or some other conui-
ton makes it unfeasible to obtain a
writ. Under such conditions, he said
his men are instructed to make er-
rests if they are convinced they
have right to do so.
IF it makes them the courts>
sick, they can do what they wani
to, - he said. Arrests will be mad,
as near legally as possible"
In the arrest of George Myers, A
colored, of the TOO block OF Forty
fourth street NV, investigation O
which led Judge Casey to dismis
the charge of permitting gamin,
and to declare his court would no
sanction illegal or highly question
able" methods of arrest, the vict
squad chief said this case was han.
died mo differently than scmt
others which have been sustained by
the courts"
Inspector Letterman added his
men considered they had sufficient
cause to make the raid resulting ir
Myers arrest without a warrant
He pointed out that where the Unit
ed States commissioner or a Judge
doesn't see fit" to hold a defend
ant on felony charge, the offender
still may be prosecuted on a mis-
demeanor if such action is justified

States Savings Bonds make an ideal

There can be no doubt that this

curbing bond redemptions, has
made sound contribution to the

port" He also singled out for

and loan associations, the Federal
Payroll Savings Division of the

Price Increase
Trend Slows
Pending Law
Commodity Markets
And Stock Exchunqe
Reflect Uncertainty
BY the Associated Pross

Uncertainty as to whether the
next few days or weeks would bring
runaway prices, small increases, or
return to Government control was
the keynote today as the Nation took
time out for its traditional July 4
observance.
All indications pointed to at least
some increase IN the general cost
OF living over OPA levels. but what
the ultimate figure would be was
anybody's guess. The Bureau of
Labor Statistics reported that spot
market prices of % basic commod-
tiles had risen 8 per cent since
stabilization controls ended.
However, the feeling that Con-
gress would agree on some kind of
new price control legislation gained
momentum.
Yesterdays most significant de-
velopments along the cost-of living
line were leveling off in the prices
paid for cattle, a Wall Street dol
drum with the smallest turnover of
stocks in nearly year, and a plea
from Secretary of Agriculture And.
erson for dairymen, some Of whom
already were enjoying higher re-
turns, to sit tight in the boat until
congress could make a decision.
The price Of meat was still on the
upgrade, particularly in long devoid
areas such as New York, where it
brought as much as 20 cents pound
over former ceilings, while butter
advanced as much as Is cents a
pound and milk went up 2 or 3 cents
a quart.
Few other commodities reflected
any such rises Most retail items re-
manned at OPA levels under repeat
ed VOWS of business and industry to
hold the line until Congress acted.
Cattlemen flooded the market with
their animals for a third day. but
the price did not go above the rec
ord-high $22.50 top established at
Chicago Tuesday. Hog prices were
81 or more under the $3.50 peak,
reached Monday, which was the
highest price since 1919.
Major packers signifed their in
tentlon to hold their prices to OPA
scales pending congressional action.
Complaints of tenants over rent
gouges subsidized, with action or
threatened action by individual
States to impose their own ceilings
apparently having some effect. But
landlords in many places voiced in
teption of making every effort to
secure some kind of upward ADJUST
ment.
Many merchandisers announced
they would close up shop until next
Monday. giving their employees a
long holiday rest and permitting the
price picture to crystalline a bit.
Prosecutions Ordered.
In Massachusetts,, Gov. Maurice
Tobin ordered prosecution of land
lords who challenged the legality
OF his order freezing rents at the
OPA level.
| New Jersey authorities decided
that States emergency order must
be modified before it can become
effective, since no punishment was
prescribed for violators.
In Wisconsin, Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Connecticut and Utah au-
thorities were drawing up State leg
islatlon to control rents unless Con-
gress acts quickly.

Independence Day was dubbed a

ence. is to read proposed amend
ment to the Declaration of Inde-
pendence"
In similar vein, Roy Fowler, pub
Usher of the Northeast Washington
Guide, announced formation of d
District of Columbia Vote Club.
which is to fight for national rep
resentation and home rule.

In a front page editorial, the
Guide called today for "a little less
prattle about foreign fascism
and a little more action to end
homegrown fascism-mass vote
denying totalitarianism here in the
District"
The editorial asks who will free
the District from its carpet
bag government?'
In press release announcing
formation of the club, Mr.. Fowler
charges that "Bilbo-Revercomb
reactionary Democrat Republican
axis is blocking District home rule
and suffrage.
"Where is The Man?'" the Guide
editorial asks. why our Mayor,
the honorable chairman of the SEN
ate District Committee has been way
down in Mississippi campaigning to
rule over us for six more years by
threatening Americans in his home
State lest they come to the polls
and vote him out of office. Now
isn't that setting a constitutional
example for the proper celebration
Of Independence Day?''

Senator Revercomb, Republican,
of West Virginia, the editorial goes
on, "placidly announced he wanted
fuller discussion of Senator Nc.
