ST. E|izabeths Emp|oye
Held in Numbers Case
On Patients Evidence

How mental patient in ST
Elizabeths Hospital was used to OBJ
tain evidence against a man &C
cused of working the numbers
racket was brought out in a Mu-
nicipal Court hearing yesterday.
AS the result of the hearing, Leo
LoJacano, 3S, of 1852 HALEY ter
race Sc, an official photographer
for st. Elizabeths Hospital was or
dered held for the action of the
grand jury on charges of operation
of a lottery and possession of lot
terry slips.
The mental patient. identified in
court as "Pappy,' was arrested July
7 on a warrant. Police officers tes-
tilted the warrant was issued aftel
police officers had placed several
numbers bets with the patient.
Pvts. Carl M. Hurley and Walter
zurowsky. attached to No. II pre-
cinct, told the court that. after
Pappy's arrest, they had asked him
to take them to the man to whom
he turned over the plays. They
said the patient was 'unco-opera-
tive" until a St. Elizabeths' PSYCHE
artist had spoken to him privately
about the matter.
After that, the officers said, Pappy
led them to dark room at the hos
pital. When they stood outside the
door, the patient went in and
handed two numbers slips and SIS
bill td man inside, the policemen
said. The officers then arrested the
man, who was later identified as
LoJacano. No other gambling
paraphernalia were discovered in
his possession, the officers said.
At the hearing yesterday, Defense
Attorney Charles E. Ford argued
the Governments case against his
client was weak because Pappy was
a mental patient, Attendants at a
mental hospital, said Mr.. Ford, are
in the habit of accepting without
question anything that one OF the
patients may hand them, whether
it be numbers slips or q bucket.
Judge Almond Scott, however,
ordered the accused man held for
grand jury action under $1,000 bond.
The patient was not in court yes

ID VALU ITO
OF THE FRANC
IN u. S. TRADE
By SIGRID ARNE

WASHINGTON ~ Both in Paris
and Washington financial experts
are talking about a move that must
appear both fancy and foggy to the
casual reader--the "deyaluation of
the French franc"
It sounds far away. Actually it
could be step which would help
lower the price tags in American
stores. 1t is naturally aimed at
lowering the price tags in French
stores.
The move is a simple lesson in
international finance. Despite the
high flown term, it is easy to under
stand
There is this immediate uncer-
tainty:
The French proposals depend on
an agreement by majority of the
other nations in the United Nations
international fund, which has
headquarters in Washington.
Here are the proposals coming
cut of Paris and what they would
mean:
The French want to make
the franc worth 24O to the dol
lar. Oficially the franc now ex-
changes at 118 to the dollar.
This revaluatiOn would mean
that American wholesalers buying
French goods would pay about half
as many dollars to get them. Pre-
6umbably the prices would be low
er in American stores.
New and larger supplies of
French goods in American stores
should reduce the prices of all sim
liar goods.
Z The French would have to
put up more francs to get
American dollars to buy American
GOODS. This would reduce French
buying here. At least part of the
gOOds the French didn't buy would
stay in the American market and
Milford chronicle., 1948-02-13

help lower American prices.
This would make it more difficult
for the French to get the special
American goods they need, like
machines and raw cotton and
wheat, but the move would bene-
fit them by greater sales in this
way:
z If the value of the French
franc is lowered, not only
would Americans have to put out
fewer dollars to buy French goods,
but Mexicans and Argentines
would spend fewer pesos, British
fewer pounds
French sales in all foreign mar
kets should increase. AS they do,
the French should have on hand
more foreign monies to spend on
British and American machines,
Argentine wheat, Canadian leather
q This, so far, looks like cut
ting Frances buying abroad to
increase its eventual ability to buy,
and doing it the hard way. 1t is.
But what it also does is to try to
kill off the black market, through
which the richest citizens get what
they want but the overall needs of
the nation are lost.
Stories from Paris say the gov
eminent is thinking of further
steps to prevent this rich-versus-
the-nation disbalance.
The plan would set up two ways
of buying foreign monies for pup-
chase abroad. Frenchmen who
want to buy badly needed goods
would be permitted to buy foreign
money at a low rate. Frenchmen
who just want to buy Injuries
would have to get foreign money at
an expensive rate.
Washington financial experts saw
this would do two things: cut down
French purchases of mink coats
and luxury cars, for example, and
force French hOarders (both the
under-the-mattress kind and those
who have New York accOunts) to
spend their boards to get what they
want, This would bring the hoard
ers out into the open where new
French taxes and import inspec-
tons could get them.
