Cuban Police Seeking
Leads on Luciano as
U. 5. Stops Narcotics
By the Assoeioted Press

HAVANA, Feb. 22.-Cuban Sc
cret police sought leads today on
the activities of Charles Lucky"
Luciano, deported New York
vice overlord, in an investigation
ordered after the United States
cut off narcotics shipments to
Cuba on the ground that Lu-
ciano's presence in the country
might lead to diversion of the
drugs"
Interior Minister Alfredo Requeno
told Secret Police Chief Benito Her
rera yesterday to determine how
Luciano, who was deported from
the United States to Italy, had
entered Cuba and how he was oc-
cupying himself.
Secret police said that they knew
Luciano was in Cuba and that he
had been seen frequently at the
race track in Havana, though it
had not been learned where he was
staying.
Ban Issued in Washington.
The ban on further supplies of
narcotics to Cuba was issued in
Washington by Harry J. Anslinger,
Federal narcotic commissioner. Juli-
an Solorzano, secretary of the Cuban
presidency, sought to discount the
possibility that Luciano's presence
could lead to diversion of imported
drugs. He pointed out that the
Government recently decreed that
all shipments of narcotics to Cuba
be brought through the port of
Havana.
Authorities here stated that If
Luciano was found to have entered
Cuba illegally, he would be deported
at once, presumably to Italy.
Luciano, former top man of New
York vice rackets, was sent to prison
in 1886 for 30 to so years. Last year
he. received a pardon from Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey-who as district
attorney had prosecuted Luciano
and was sent back to his native
Italy. Recently, however, reports
reached Washington that Luciano
had found a haven IN CUBA.
Narcotics Shipped Back.
Mr.. Anslinger, announcing the ban
on narcotics exports to Cuba, said
the Cuban government had been
advised that the ban would con-
tinue as long as Luciano remained
there.
1--WE can't afford to risk diversion
of the drugs" Mr.. Anslinger said.
He explained that narcotics shipped
to Cuba in the past had been
smuggled back into this country for
illicit purposes. The United States
is the chief source of narcotics sup
plies: for Cuba.
Luciano, in his heyday, more than
q decade ago, amassed vast sums
from such rackets as dope, white
slavery and gambling. A well-known
figure in New York City, he fire.
quented race tracks and sporting
events, where he was said to have
bet huge sums of money.

Illness Of Witness
Postpones Hearing
On Byrd Election

A hearing by a Senate subcom-
mittee on the contest Of the election
of Senator Byrd, Democrat, of Vir-
ginia, has been delayed because Of
the illness of witness, it was said
today at the Office of Senator Hick-
enlooper, Republican, of Iowa, chair
man of the subcommittee.
Although no date has been set, it
was said that the hearing probably
will be held as soon as the witness
can testify. The current investiga-
ton of the Markey-O'Conor contest
in MARYLAND will not affect the hear
ing, it was learned.
The contest was filed by Lester S.
Parsons, Norfolk Republican, de-
feated in November by Senator
Byrd. Mr.. Parsons bases his contest
on a charge that the Virginia poll
tax violates the United States Con-
stitution and an act of Congress
readmitting Virginia to the Union
following the war between the
states.
Earlier this week Senator Byrd
announced that Abram P. Staples,
Virginia attorney general, would rep
resent him at the hearing. When
the contest was filed several months
ago, the Virginia Senator said he
would ignore it.
He said today, however, that the
committee desires to make record
in the matter and that he had asked
Mr.. Staples to appear, since the con-
test is a question of States rights.
IT think it's proper for the State
to defend its actions" Senator Byrd
said. 1T is perfectly proper for the
attorney general to appear"
Senator Byrd added it is for the
courts to decide whether or not the
tax is illegal.
The question is before the courts
in a case filed by Lawrence Michael,
Arlington Republican, who was de-
feated by Representative Smith,
Democrat, of Virginia. Mr.. Michaels
suit, filed prior to the November
elections, seeks to restrain Eighth
District officials from collecting the
poll tax. The Federal District Court
at Richmond ruled against Mr..
Michael, who appealed to the Cir
cult Court of Appeals, which will
hear the case on March IL.
A contest of Mr.. Smiths election,
on the same grounds as that used in
the suit and in the Byrd contest, has
been filed by Mr.. Michael.

Freight Car Shortage
Causes Rationing Of
Space by Papers
BY the Associoted Press

Pyramiding effects of the worst
shortage of box cars in 20 years yes
terday caused slashes in msnufac-
turing output and employment and
brought rationing of space by many
daily newspapers.
Flour mills were heavily affected;
some closed while others reporting
in an Associated Press survey said
production was down as much as
40 per cent.
Finished goods for which ship
ping space could not be found was
reported jamming warehouses and
threatening industrial shutdowns.
Pinched by failure of newsprint
shipments to arrive, daily papers in
several cities adopted plans to
stretch their supply. The Detroit
(Mich.) News and Quincy (Mass.)
Patriot-Ledger announced they
would eliminate advertising from
some editions next week. The Dan
bury Comm Times said 1t was
"drastically reducing" the size Of
it's paper, while in Miami, Fla, the
Herald and the Daily News were
carefully rationing advertising space.
Short 1881 Cars.
Reports in Canada. principal
source of newsprint, showed an av-
erage daily shortage of 1881 cars
last week compared with 1881 cars
in the preceding week.
New curtailments of manufactur-
ing operations in the United States
appeared more the result of piling
up of unshipped goods than of any
worsening of the boxcar supply. The
Car Service Division of the Associa-
ton of American Railroads, charged
with supervising the distribution of
freight cars by the roads, said for
the week ended February Is the
average daily shortage of boxcars in
the United States was 20,093, close
to the levels OF preceding weeks.
Senator Reed, Republican, of
Kansas of a Senate Commerce Sub
committee which has been hearing
evidence on causes and effects of
the shortage, has called industry,
railroad and Government repre-
sentatives to a conference next
Wednesday seeking a means to pro-
vide the railway car builders with
enough steel for 10000 new cars a
month, compared with current out
put of less than 5000 cars month.

Psychiotrist Says Child Pays
If Desired for Wrong Reasons

Mothers who bear children in an
effort to resolve their own emo
tional problems are as bad as those
who bring unwanted children into
the world, according to a Baltimore
psychiatrist.
DR.. Grace Baker of the Johns
Hopkins University psycniatry staff,
in lecture yesterday at st. Eliza
beth's Hospital, said both types OF
perversion of the maternal instinct
are likely to produce emotional mall
adjustment in children.
Anxiety and insecurity are bound
to result, she pointed out, when q
child becomes aware its parents re-
sented its arrival. But children who
are wanted for the wrong reason
face psychological hazard at least
as severe as those who are not
wanted at all, she contended.
Four, Wrong Reasons"
Addressing a postgraduate course
in psychiatry offered by the George
Washington Medical School in CO.
operation with st. Elizabeth's Hos
pital authorities, DR.. Baker listed
four wrong reasons" for wanting
children.
The first, she said, is the case Of
the mother who feels a need to
establish her own adequacy" as an
individual. This type of mother is
likely to expect too much of the
child, express disappointment when
it fails to fulfill her expectations
and transmit the feeling of made
quacy to the child.
Another type is the woman who
hopes to arouse her husbands wan
ing interest by presenting him with
an addition to the family, DR.. Baker
related. If she fails to revive his
interest, she may vent her resent
ment on the baby, or go to the

other extreme and smother it with
affection, the psychiatrist said.
Women who seek to realize in
their children the ambitions they
have never achieved themselves
also came in for DR.. Bakers criti-
cism. Children, she pointed out,
should be allowed to develop their
own talents.
A final inadequate reason for
wanting children, according to the
Johns Hopkins psychiatrist, is the
feeling that raising a family is the
conventional thing to do, and is
expected" of all married couples.
Children reared in this environ
ment may be excessively dominated
by a regard for what other people
think, and their critical faculties
inhibited, DIR. Baker declared.
