HALEY Doubts Efficiency
OF Roce News Scheme

NEW YORK, May II (Pl. - A
reported new system of race news
communications through Canada
to thWart possible anti-gambling
measures in the United States was
dismissed today as a probable
bookmakers' flop.
Il don't know what good it
could do them to operate out of
Canada" said Rudolph HALEY,
who served as chief counsel to the
Senate committee.
He said that the Vancouver
B. c.. prosecuting attorney had
informed him of reports that a
new race results communication
system has been operating there
for about a month.
The system involves feeding re-
suits to Canada via telegraph,
then back to the United States
by wire or telephone.

been kicking around for a couple

committee looked into the re-
ports.

be obliged to repay in strategic
materials.
Mr.. Cox said: Russia is the
dominating influence in India
right now. India is using this Sit

them wheat. If we don't give it to
them, they say they will get it
from Russia. We are simply fol-

everything that's Russian.

that India, was greatly pleased by
the report that Russia is sending
$4,000 tons of wheat to alleviate

also expected in this deal.
