Undercover Men Foil Frauds
And Stop Stickups
BY FRANK /. WELLER

WASHINGTON. sThis out
fits phoney," said the money
clerk in a small eastern post Of
flee.
The ex-WAC, trying to send
$25 to a school which prom
ised a sure-fire job when she had
finished its course, took back her
money.
Now a money order clerk is
not usually supposed to butt into
this business. but the one who
did happened to be afclose friend
OF the girls family, and he had
just heaRa from Al visiting u. S,
postal inspector that this parti-
cuIar racket was about to be
busted under federal mail-fraud
laws.
Roscoe E. Mague, general SUI
perintendent of the Post Office
Inspection Service, tells the story
to illustrate what he considers
one of the most vicious "gyps''
practiced against ex-service men
and women.
He hastens to add there are
plenty of reliable and authenti-

termed after the old diploma

veteran a high-pay job at the end
of a course calculated to take just
about all his separation and mus
tering-out pay and then tell him
he flunked the examinations.
Large Scale FakerY s.
Full figures are not available,
but in just 80 of the 3,455 mail
fraud cases handled last year
more than $31, 100000 was fitch
ed from the public in all types
of sharp practices.
Mague says there has been a
gradual-but so far not alarming

increase in mail-truck and mall
train holdups, another response
bility of his service. Al registered
mail sack is snatched here and
there.
The incidents are growing IN
number, Mague says, as unem-
ployment grows and prices rise.
He has alerted the inspectors
against repetition of the bold
forays which followed World War
/, such as Gerald Chapman's
stickup of mail truck for a mil
lion dollars in New York.
II Mague says post office burgla-
ries are starting up again but
that so far most of them are by
small fry hoodlums /. nothing
like in the early '20's, when burg
lars got the biggest haul in postal
history, $250,O00 in stamps from
the Pawtucket, r. l., post office.
They were captured and sens
fenced to 10 years in jail.
Check Thefts

postal inspectors their biggest
headache. Thefts have risen from
500 in 1914 and 1876 in 1945 to
what looks like something near
1000 in 1916.
AT first it was carried on
principally by blacksheep boys
and girls who seemed satisfied
with just enough to finance a
night in a 1--WE dive. Now, Ma
que says, there is evidence that
older and wiser heads are direct

These Women -.
Britain's WIS Aids Education
BY ADELAIDE KERR
APP Newsfeatures Writer

Ordinary women working to-
gether to keep ordinary families
happy and content in their daily
work may be stronger force
than governments in maintaining
world peace, says the DoWager
Marchioness of Reading.
The tall dark-eyeo British lead
er. who founded the Women's
Voluntary Services (of Great
Brittany in wartime and still
hends it in an extensive peace
time program, is making her first
visit to the United States in ten
years.
''We are working to. establish
decency and freedom of living,
and happiness and content in
daily work." she said during a
New York visit. ''These are the
things people want. When we get
them we shall have contented
people and families, and they
make contented states which do
not go to war to settle economic
troubles. / don't believe it is
working on the level of nations
that is going to do this job of
making world peace. / believe it
will be done by making happy
contented families.
Then swiftly Lady Reading
sketched the work 10000 peace
time WIS workers are doing to
better the lot of ordinary families.
I'm England we have a great
er food shortage than we did
during the war" she said. so
we evolved a scheme to meet
it. We select a worker from
each village and city street.
They are taught the funda-
mentals of nutrition. instructed
what foods are in short supply
and given recipes using more
plentiful foods. After they have
tried out the recipes. they call
on every woman in their dis
trict, confer with her on her
nutrition problems and give
her the recipes and instruction
which meet her needs.
''To meet the clothing shortage
we conduct household repair
classes and run clothing ex-
changes where mothers can trun

grown and receive another in
larger size. To help families
whose furniture was destroyed
during the war, we collected
$3.50 tons of furniture in Is
months and distributed it. We
do work with the aged and in
child welfare and have 1000 wo-
men working for the troops over
seas. In other words, we try to
help ordinary people with their
pressing problems: The people of
every country have their own
pressing problems and in every
one, woman can help solve them"
Lady Reading has had a bril-
liant and diversified career. Be-
fore her marriage in 1881, she
was confidential secretary to the
late Marques of Reading who
served his country as Long Chief
Justice, special ambassador to the

fields and groves in varying shades
of green.
Coming into the capital city
brings a definite sense of relief.
Only then is there realization that
limitleSs natural vistas, unbroken by
the sight of a single human dwell
ing, has created a feeling of lone
illness that is quickly dispersed by a
glimpse of closely packed buildings
in Phoenix, and the hustle of city
traffic.
Passengers on the first rornino
flight included state, county and
municipal officials, civic l1aders,
Arizona Airways personnel, and
representatives of the press.
Among them were Dan Garvey,
Arizona secretary of state; Roy j.
Heyne, Phoenix city manager;
Lewis Haas, general manager of the
Phoenix chamber of commerce, and
Phil j. Martin, city manager Of
Tucson. Miss Anna Sue Amman,
citrus queen, was guest of honor on
the afternoon flight Sunday.
At least two members of the party
had never ridden in an airplane
before and stepped aboard the twin
motored airliner with apparent
temerity. The train-like comfort
of the big 21-passenger cabin soon
lulled their fears. After experience
ing a couple of smooth, uneXciting
takeoffs they grinned and cheerfully
admitted they were getting more
pleasure than thrills out of travel
ing by air. Between scenic high
lights, several passengers read the
funnies and Sunday papers.
Arizona Airways is something new
only in the sense of organization
and routing. It's equipment is the
same type Douglas plane used for
years by other leading airlines. Most
of its personnel are not only veter-
an airmen, but also veterans of the
war.
Prior to service with the Air
Transport Command, Dick j. Scott,
flight operations manager and chief
pilot for the state airline, was a
Transcontinental and Western Air
flyer.
At the conclusion of the historic
first flight, Arizona Anyways was
host to it's guests at luncheon at
Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport.

sort of flying experience they en-
joyed Sunday morning.
The trip bolstered their confidence
in air travel over the state, and led
to the conviction the airline is Of

ton service. They were of the opin-
ion that those who ride once with

1000 New Homes
Being Erected
AT Tucson

TUCSON, March 21-More than
1000 dwellings are under construc-
ton in Tucson and its environs and
ZIG emergency government units for
veterans will be ready within 80
days, according to a special Cham
Der of Commerce review.
1.-The outlook for the future is a
little brighter comments the
chamber.
One reason why the chamber is
able to make an optimistic report is
that the War Department has liber-
allied it's policy and surplus housing
at Davis-Monthan Flying Field is
made available to veterans. Here
tofore only personnel was allowed
to live at active fields. Davis-Mon-
than personnel has been greatly re-
duced since VJ-Day, leaving part OF
the quarters unoccupied.
County Plan Dropped
How many veterans can be ac-
commodated there is not definitely
determined, but it is enough that
the city and county have dropped
plans for spending $4,000 to reno
vate $50 units at 'West Camp" ad-
Joining Davis -Monthan.
Although gratified over the i'm
proved prospects, citizens are in
clined to keep their fingers crossed.
They know that progress on many
of the 1000 private homes is dis
tressingly slow because of the lack
of materials Tucson is going to be
overcrowded for a long time to
come.

Enemies of Production
Cincinnati Enquirer


 Robert R. Young, the energetic and unorthodox head of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad has written for the Atlantic Monthly provocative crtque of our current economic dilemma. Looking the American it is today, he finds labor and capital point essy fighting each other while the bureauracy of the state seeking to solve all problems by regulation gobbles up the fruits of common productivity
 Business. Mir Young believes, bundered in sisting unonism until it got the Wagner Act. It bundered in failing to establish guaranteed annual wages-as very few employers to be have done It is blundering in failing to work with labor to provide medical and hospital and old-age secur y, which forces workers to turn the state and to try to get those things the expensive and wasteful way
 Turning to labor, Mir. Young is chiefly troubled by shop rules which limit productivty-arbitrar limits on the amount of work permitted in a day seniority rules which protect the decrepit and subsidize the incompetent and ursdctional quarres which are not valid strikes but stop production just completely
 Labor and management alike have turned too quickly to government for solutions of their troubles And usually MT Young contends the only result is to create barriers to production, and new tax burdens which of the plain citizens standard of living
 It is likely that Mir Young ignores some factors which inevitably compelling the people to intrust new powers to the state. When businesses become monopostic the state is likely to be found the only nstrumentalty that people in re1nedying monopolstic abuses. and with the emergence of great labor union monopolies with legal immunity from any responsibility the only workable protection of the public must come from the state
 If enough businessmen and labor leaders saw the long run folly of abusing monopoly power, could avert these pers without calling on government to supply the answers But enough such men do not exercise the requisite seif-restraint
 However that may be, there is abundant food for sober thought in MT Young's plaispoken analysis of the enemies of production.
