included arrests on traffic charges.
Finding Mason, however, was
a more difficult matter as. Mr..
Flanagan said. he floats around
from place to place"
But the committee was tipped
off one day that he was at the
Hotel Statler here, where he was
wont to stay on his frequent visits
to Washington and where he has
a reputation as lavish Upper,
as much as $40 at a time, and
served a subpoena on him there
on June Is.
Stalff Checks Complaints.
At first, Mr.. Flanagan said.
Mason denied any business trans
actions with any Of the persons
mentioned and contended that he
never got any money from any
body"
But the record, as far as the
committee was concerned. was
pretty clear by that time. staff
investigators had talked with sew
eral people whose names had
been obtained through the orig
inal Complaints.
During three or four weeks OF
staff work preceding the public
hearings last week. the investi-
| gators obtained the story of Mr.
and Mrs. Bohdan Katamay of
Philadelphia and how they had
turned over to Mason a total of
about $4,000 in hopes Of getting
leases on surplus Government
buildings or concessions in new
ones.
They also had talked with two
priests of the Greek Catholic
Church-Fathers Maxim Markiw
and Peter Hewko and learned
they had turned over to Mason as
much as 5000. 900 in hopes Of get
ting leases. The priests are mem
bers of the Order of st. Basil the
Great and hoped to realize fabu-
lous profits which they could use
to build schools and camps and
carry on other work for the poor.
The Senate investigators also
obtained the story Of Joseph E.
Bennett, Boston contractor, who
said he had given Mason more
than $4,000 to act as his WASH
ington agent in getting Govern
ment contracts-and had gotten
nothing.
The public hearings last week
brought into the open an array of
evidence gathered by the Senate
investigating subcommittee staff
and taken in executive sessions.
Mason, or Mussman; did not

dispute during the public hearings
that he had obtained large sums
Iof money from the priests, the
Philadelphia couple and the Bos-
ton contractor, all of whom testi-
fed in the public hearing. But he
insisted that it was no more thar
100000.
AS for what he did with the
money, Mason swore that he
turned it over to a mysterious and
elusive character he know only by
the name of "Eungart." This
character. it seems, was supposed
to arrange the deals.
"We ran down every reasonable
lead he could give us and found
no trace of Eungart," Mr.. Flan-
agan said. BASED on our inquiry
it certainly appears that Eungart
is a figment of Mason's imagina-
ton"
Mason also acknowledged that
he had told some of his clients
their payments were to be used as
"Sewer money" for officials sup
posed to make the decisions on
leasing Government buildings
Under questioning during the
hearing, Mason admitted to Mr.
Flanagan that his operations in
volved a scheme for bribing Gov
eminent officials and blandly
Evening star., 1951-07-22

A complaint made to Senator
Sparkman, Democrat, of Ala
bama, in May led to the Senate
subcommittee's disclosure of the
fantastic operations of Sam D.
Mason of New York, identified as
"a professional confidence man, .
and so-called Washington agent.
Francis D. Flanagan, chief
counsel of the Senate Subcommit-
tee, said the initial complaint was
received only last May 21. It was
followed almost Immediately by
another from one of Mason's vic
Tins who complained directly to
a member of Mr.. Flanagan's staff
The source of complaint was not
revealed.
An immediate investigation
turned up as amazing a story as
ever was related on Capitol Hill
It was an atomic day version OF
the old confidence racket of sell
ing Brooklyn Bridge or the EN-
pire State Building. y
Mason, who said his real name
is Samuel MuSsman, collected
thousands of dollars from clients
seeking bargain leases on Gov
ernment buildings or defense con.
tracts. 1t seems that Mason, OF
Mussman, was able to sell most
Iprofitably the idea that the Gov
ernment was planning to &C
underground" because of the
threat of atomic warfare, and 8
vast number of surplus build
ings would be available at q
nominal fee.
Investigated Immediately.
Mr.. Flanagan said that after
the first complaints the commit.
tee staff immediately began ar
investigation.
Through the cooperation of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation
Mr.. Flanagan said, it was quick
lly established that the man who
represented himself to clients as
"a registered Washington agent, ;
had long record of arrests or
fraud and other charges and at
least three convictions under the
name Of Samuel Mussman.
The record showed that Mason,
or Mussman. who draws $195 q
month In Government compensa-
tion for the loss of a leg in the
Argonne during World War I, had
been arrested at least a dozen
times in Massachusetts,, where he
was at one time a stock salesman;
in New Hampshire and in New
York. The record, incidentally

Of the children carefully to be
sure no ticks are hidden in the
folds.
Especially after walking in a
grassy area look your clothing
over for possible ticks before en-
tering the automobile or house.
If you work in the fields, remove
all clothing Immediately upon
coming indoors. and drop the gar
ments loosely in a large metal
container, pour two teaspoons Of
carbon tetrachloride on top of the
clothing, and put the lid on over
a sheet of wrapping paper. This
should kill any ticks present
within eight hours.
Never sleep in clothing worn
during the day, and do not put
clothing on the bed. Examine the
body thoroughly both on arising
and on going to bed. Also check
the youngsters when they come
in at noon for lunch. Look par
ticularly at the back of their
heads, combing the hair upwards
at the same time.
If tick is found, remove it
at once, using tweezerS. Pull
steadily to avoid breaking off the
mouth parts of the tick if it has
become attached. Ticks should
not be left attached any longer
than can be helped; infected in
Isects are not likely to produce
disease unless they have been al
lowed to feed for several hours,
USUALLY SIX TO EIGHT.
CauteriZe the place where the
tick was attached with solution
of carbolic acid or silver nitrate
dipping the round. point of a
wooden toothpick in the solution
and then drilling it lightly into
the spot. Iodine may be used if
other materials are not available.
The blood from crushed ticks
may be source of infection if it
gets into the eyes, or skin abra-
sion. Even if you use tweezers to
remove ticks wash the hands thor
oughly when the JOB is finished.
DO NOT RUB THE EYES.
Inoculations against tick infec-
ton should be discussed with your
doctor.
