DC.CrimeP Probers Set
Hearing for tuesday,;
Defer Gaming Action
BY Don S. Worren

Open hearings on Washington S
crime and law enforcement will
be started at 10 am. Tuesday by
special House District subcom-
mittee with proposals for a special
probe of gambling deferred for
some future decision.
Gambling activities, neverthe-
less, will be explored, along with
illegal use Of narcotics and all
other phases of "crime and pun
ishment," under the plans of the
District subcommittee headed by
Representative Davis, Democrat.
of Georgia.
The hearing !. originally was
scheduled for Monday, but it was
changed today because of a con-
f1ict with the regularly scheduled
monthly meeting of the full House
District Committee.
But the subcommittee is mark
ing time on suggestions of its in
veStigators for a more extensive
and expensive investigation into
gambling and its possible hookup
with national syndicateS. Chair
man Davis said such a scrutiny
could not be made unless the
House granted additional funds of
about $4,000.
He emphasized that his sub
committee as yet had taken no
stand either for or against such
special investigation. Instead.
he said. it merely has deferred the
decision to ''some future date"
Under Study Months.
The subcommittee and its in
vestigating staff, headed by Hy-
man I. Fischback of New York,
have been at work for about three
months looking into all phases
of District crimes and the work
of all its law-enforcement agen-
cies. These include the police and
coroner. the Corporation Coun-
sci and the United States Attor-
ney, the courts and probation and
parole agencies. So far, the
House has granted $4,000 for the
investigation.
The present schedule of hear
ings, Chairman Davis said, will
occupy at least eight days. The
sessions will be held in the hear
ing room of the Senate District
Committee.
Police officials are to be called
to the stand first. Chairman Da-
Wis said witnesses would be called
''in logical sequence" as related
to the commission of a crime-its
discovery, police action, arrest,
charge, prosecutor, court action,
confinement, granting of proba-
tion and parole.
To Trace Some Gases.
"Some individual cases, and
large number of typical cases, will
be traced through the whole proc
ess of law and enforcement, 1"
Chairman Davis said. There also
will be reviews and questions
about the whole setup here, he
added.
Among questions expected to be
explored during the hearings are
the effectiveness of police, prose-
cutors, committing magistrates,
trial judges and all related phases
of the law enforcement work.
This is expected to include the
measure of punishment meted out
by the courts. Representatives of
all branches of the law enforce
ment system. it is indicated, have
been interviewed in the prelimi-
nary stages of the inquiry.
Also attending yesterdays closed
meeting. which was guarded by a
member of the Capitol police force,
were Representatives league,
Democrat, of Texas and Simpson,
Republican, of Illinois. Absent
were Representatives Smith, DEM
ocrat, of Virginia and Wadsworth,
Republican, of New York.

Bond Market Steady;
Few Rails Register
Fractional Gains
By the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 25. - The
bond market steered a relatively
steady course in today's brief ses-
sion.
A few rails stood out on the up
side With gains mostly in fractions
but an occasional plus mark of a
point helped the group overcome
a certain number of declines.
Utilities and industrials were gen.
orally on the slim trade
AT&T Issues Favored.
The days biggest turnover was
in American Telephone 234s of
1861 which sold to the tune of
S226,000, par value, and closed at
11Ih, up 1s point. The COM
pany's 31ss of 1859 also were &C
tive, "176,000 changing hands.
The issue closed up Is at 1247s.
Hudson Coal SIS moved up a
point to SO and Katy adjustment
SIS advanced a major fraction to
815s. Philippine Railway As moved
up "a to 1913. West Penn Electric
3l2s were Is higher at 1852.
On the losing end were Wiscon-
Sin Central As, Pennsylvania
Railroad 412s, Florida East Coast
SIS and Illinois Central 4a4s.
Missouri Pacific bonds were
quiet. Three sold a fraction high
er and one lost a small amount.
The others were not traded.
There were few changes of con-
sequence in the foreign dollar list.
Chile IS of 1860 advanced points
to As on sale of two bonds. Sales
of $1,830,000 compared with ST.
481. 900 last Saturday.
Rails Steady in Week.
Investors ignored the upSwing
in the railroads freight hauling
business this week and rail bond
prices accomplished little in the
way of change.
The Associated Press daily aver
age of 20 rails never moved more
than i of a point from the previ-
Gus days level and at the end of
the week it stood at 95.4. the pre-
else point at which it started the
week.
There was little change during
the week in the price position of
United States Treasury bonds
traded in the over-the- e-counter
market. The long-depressed Vic
tory Loan 212s of December. 1872
st. came out of their slump Tues
day and finished unchanged for
the weeks work.
This indicated the Federal Re-
serve had halted at least tenn
porarily. the selling pressure it
had been applying to the victories.
Two Big Issues Scheduled.
Only two major items are sched-
uled to hit the corporate financ-
ing market next week. both of
them on Tuesday.
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
railroad will receive bids on s25
million of bonds. And Northern
Indiana Public Service Co. will
put up $12 million of first mort
gage bonds.

New 1850 Highs Set
By Many Barometers
OF Trade, Industry
Bs 6. A. Phillips


NEW YORK, Mar. 25.-Business
and industry generated a power
drive this week that carried many
lines to the highest operating
levels of the year.
Rejecting an end of the effects
of the lengthy coal strike, IL of
the 20 major measurements of
business were higher than last
week, four were about unchanged
and four declined ever so slightly.
Leading the recovery movement
were the industries hurt most by
the prolonged dispute - steel,
transportation, electric power and,
to a lesser extent, retail trade.
Weeks HighIights Given.
Here are few highlights in this
weeks master business chart:
Steel production at the highest
level since early April, last year;
freight car loadings the best since
mid-November; bank clearings the
largest since the big turnover last
Christmas: electric power output
within hailing distance of the all
time record, and the stock market
at 3la-year peak.
A pickup in Easter apparel buy
ing and sustained interest in other
seasonal merchandise pushed re-
tail sales above the previous week
in most areas of the country. Eco
nomic hangovers from the strike
fingered in scattered cities, how
ever, especially where bread-win-
nerS had gone heavily in debt to
keep going while off payrolls.
New orders for almost all kinds
OF consumer goods were on a
par with the previous week-a
good week-and heavy demand
for television and household ap-
pliances sent the volume above a
year ago.
Easter Trade Awaited.
While a great majority of store
economists believe it will be a good
Easter season, couple of angles
to the current situation bears
watching.
Reports from major manufac-
turing centers showed the flow of
goods to middleman and whole
saler was on a normal basis again
indicating recovery from setbacks
caused by the strike was faster
than expected.
Whether these earlier-than-ex-
pected deliveries will unbalance in
ventories will depend in a large
measure on how the trend of
Easter sales goes in the next two
weeks.
1t is widely reported that stocks
in many general merchandise out
lets are higher than anticipated
and that merchants has counted
on slow deliveries after the strike
ended and fast Easter business
TO bring about better balance.
Rayon Production Curbed
One report said furniture origi-
nally scheduled to be received at
distributor and retail levels in
April had started showing up in
March. In the case of certain
textiles, 1t was reported buyers
did not now need all the goods
they ordered and some deferments
had been asked. An important
straw in the wind on this front
was the announcement this week
that several big rayon makers
had begun to curtail production
In face of slowing demand at
the retail level.
