Vending Machines
Checked for Cigarette
Price Law Violations
BY The Associated Press

A Nationwide survey to de-
termine whether some cigarette
vending machine operators are
violating ceiling price regulations
was pressed yesterday by the Gov
ernment.
An Office of Price Sterilization
officials said the check was under
taken after complaints were re-
ceived from various sections that
vendors had increased their prices
more than enough to take care of
the excise tax increase Novem-
Der 7.
One Cent Tax Boost.
The new revenue bill increased
cigarette taxes a penny package.
An OPS order permitted sellers to
pass on only the exact dollars and
cents amount of any tax increase.
Enforcement officials told re-
porter some of the complaints
indicated machine operators had
raised their prices since the tax
went into effect by from 2 to 4
cents package.
They said the purpose of the
broad check is to determine
whether such an increase is justi--
fed. One official pointed out that
another regulation permits such
sellers to raise their prices if they
have not done SO to reflect in
creased costs.
Vendors have asked OPS for
detailed Interpretation of this rul-
ing. OPS said such an interpreta-
ton will be issued shortly.
Earlier Increase Absorbed.
Some vendors have pointed out
that they absorbed the increase
earlier rather than go through the
difficult operation of changing
their machines to put higher prices
into effect. They said that the
higher tax plus increased costs
makes it necessary for them to
raise prices or go broke.
OPS officials said informally
that they expect many of the in
creases of 2 cents or so are justi-
fled. The check, however, will
show whether any prices have
been boosted beyond permitted
amounts. If they have. the official
added, the vendors will be in viola
ton of ceiling price regulations.

Breakdown of Enforcement

munity affects their law-en-
forcement responsibilities in
other fields. BY refusing to act
against the racketeers +. law
enforcement officials give aid
and encouragement to some of
the worst hoodlums and GRIM
inal gangs in this country.
These hoodlums and criminal
gangs do not restrict their OPP
erations to exploiting the hui
man desired to gamble.
They also engage in activi-
ties which are even more dew
astating to the community and
to the welfare of the people:
the sale and distribution of
narcotics, various forms of ex-
tortion and shakedownS, various
types of business and labor
union racketeering. as well as
outright robbery. burglary and
larceny. Inevitably, their OPP
erations in gambling and other
fields bring in their train ag-
gravated forms of violence
against persons and property.
The ultimate weapon that
these mobsters have is murder
and they have not hesitated to
use it in communities all over
the country.
'Nor should it be assumed
that law- enforcement agencies.
which are ineffective in sup
pressing gambling operations.
suddenly become efficient in
struments Of justice when con-
fronted with other crimes. The
record is clearly the other way.
Police officials. sheriffs and dis
trict attorneys who refuse to do
their duty in enforcing the
gambling laws because of cor
ruption or the use of political
influence do not prosecute Wig
orously when the racketeers
and gangsters operating gam
bling enterprises become in
volved in other crimes.
If money or political infiu-
ence viii fix q gambling case. it
VIII also fix q case involving q
more heiuDus offense. The
creeping paralysis of law en-
forcement which results from a
failure to enforce the gambling
laws, therefore, contributes to a
breakdown in connection with
other fields of crime.
1t is automatic in the under
world that once a public official
allows a case to be fixed, there
after the underworld owns him."

Appointments
By Cecil Hollond

Senate crime investigators in
a report of unusual sharpness
today accused Ambassador VIII,
liam ODwyer of having contrib
uted to the growth of organized
crime. racketeering and gang
sterism in New York City"
MIR. O'Dwyer, now United States
Ambassador to Mexico. was Mayor
of New York from 1916 until
his appointment to the diplomatic
post last fall. From 1910 to 1912
and for a brief period in 1945 he
was district attorney for Kings
County. Brooklyn.
The report also said the most
shocking revelation" of the Senate
Crime Investigating Committees
year-long inquiry was ''the extent
of official corruption and con-
nivance" in organized crime and
added:
The committee found evidence
of corruption and conniyance at

Accused Of Impeding Probes.
In reference to Mr.. ODwyer'sI

Neither he nor his appointees

Mr.. O'Dwyer,s name was men,

with that of Frank Costello. New

described by the committee as a

Under the title "Breakdown
OF Enforcement Machinery"
the Ketauper Committees re-
port has this to say.
Although the committee has
seen and paid tribute to many
fine. efficient, honest. and able
law-enforcement officers and Of
f1cials. law enforcement has
broken down in many of the
communities visited by the COM
mittee. Where criminal gangs
and syndicates operate openly
as they have done in such places
as Saratoga; Bergen County. N.
j.; the Newport-Cov area
of Kentucky; the Miami area of
Florida; many of the parishes
outside of New Orleans: many of
the Illinois and California coun-
ties and the area of Jackson
County outside of Kansas City,
to cite only the most notorious
examples. it is apparent that
too many local police, Sheriffs,
prosecutors, and courts are fail
ing to do their sworn duty.
The committee places no
stock in the professed inability
of many law-enforcement off,
cials to detect violations of the
law which are apparent to any
informed citizen. The blindness
which affiicts many 1aw-enforce-
ment officials in wide-open COM
munitieS is for the record only.
There can be little question
that these officials know per-
fectly well what is going on.
Nor can there be little doubt
in the mind of the committee
that vigorous, honest law en-
forcement can put an end to
wide-open conditions in very
short time. The fact that Saro-
toga was run without open
gambling in the racing season
of 1850: that Sheriff king"
Clancy could give the order to
shut down operations in Jeffer-
son Parish: that Pat Perdue,
the so-called "one-man vice
squad of Miami Beach, could
boast that he could shut down
operations in Miami Beach In
"a hours if he were given the
order to do so. is an indication
of what can be accomplished
where law-enforcement officials
really wish to act.

East Capitol Bridge
Plan Gets Tentative
|0K Of City Heads
Deck PIote Steel Girder
Design Similor to New
Highway spon Chosen
By Horriet Griffiths

The Commissioners Tentatively
approved today a plan for the new
East Capitol street bridge. calling
for deck plate steel girder spar
similar to the new Highway
Bridge.
Before finally passing on the
design. the city heads must submit
it to the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission and the
Fine Arts Commission under the
legislation authorizing the con-
struction.
The act allows expenditure o1
$12 million, but so far Congress
has appropriated only 81 million
An additional 81 million is re-
|quested in the pending budget
proposals fer the fiscal year 1852
Half of the cost is being pro-
Ivided by the Federal Government
Four-Lane Approach.
Under the proposed design, the
bridge will run directly on the
line of East Capitol street. Con-
struction will start at the inter.
section of East Capitol and Burns
streets with four lanes depressed
and carried under Minnesota ave-
niue. The roadway will continue
under the railroad. It then will
rise to the east bank of the An
acostia River, and connect with
ia 1.320-foot bridge across the
river.
In Kingman Lake there will be
a filled causeway about 1,100 feet
from the west bank, where a ramp
will branch off to the south tt
connect with independence ave-
nue., and north to connect with
c street NE.
In the fork of the "Y" is a com
bination of ramps forming an ell.
liptical connection with East Capt.
tol street. This ellipse will enclost
a 16-acre parade ground.
A major connection to the new
facility will be Kenilworth avenu,

The Wedemeyer mission was in

Asked at a press conference

the report dealing with Korea was
not released at the time the sec
ton of China was published in a
State Department white paper"
in 1948. Gen. Marshall said that
it was not relevant to the report
on relations with China and that
he had been responsible for hold
ing it up.
He pointed out that Gen. Wede-
meyer was an Army officer and
had been named to head the
mission as representative of the
President at the request of the
Secretary of State.
Today's release showed that sew
eral sections of the report had
been deleted for security reasons.
The general, now commander Of

the United States had a strong
strategic interest in insuring

North Korea only when she could
be sure the puppet government
