Banks Subpoenaed
For Records in Probe
OF New York Rackets
By the AsSocio,ed press

NEW YORK, Sept. New
York's State Crime Commission,
digging into corruption and wa
ter-front rackets, has called for
complete financial records of more
than 300 persons-many of them
public f1gures-in the metropoli.
tan area.
The list includes political lead.
ers, labor union officials and re-
!puted underworld kingpins in New
York and New Jersey.
Subpoenas for data on their
financial tranactions went out
yesterday to more than 100 com.
mercial and savings banks.
The subpoenas called for rec.
ords on both open and closed ac-
counts, including Cancelled checks,
and information on safe deposit
boxes, loans and mortgages.
Similar to Tax Probes.
Although Crime Commission Of
ficials refused comment on the ac-
ton, the Subpoenas-similar to
those used by the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue in checking tax
delinquents-bore the signature Of
ia special assistant attorney gen.
eral assigned to the commission.
Newspaper accounts said it was
obvious that appearance of a per-
sons name on the list did not
mean he was involved in any
wrongdoing.
A Crime Commission spokesman
today declined to say whether any
Of the 300 persons would be called
in for personal questioning. How
ever. he said witnesses are "con-
stantly being examined"
No date has been set for the
start of public hearings, he said.
Aide to Mayor on List.
Among those reportedl,Sinvolved
in the financial data hunt are:
Frank j. Sampson, former Tam

My Favorite
Appliance

WHICH ELECTRICAL appliance
do / like the best? That is diff
cult question. Perhaps we appreci-
ate our appliances most when the
power is off. Then we realize how
important electricity is.
Last winter the power was off for
several hours during a blizzard.
How long would food be safe in
the deep freeze? What about the
furnace, the stoker, the water pump
and the refrigerator? What a relief
It was to hear the motors start to
hum again.
Thanks to the linemen who work
IN all kinds Of weather for our
service.
Is one convenience more desirable
than another? 1 recall the coal range
in my kitchen. 1t smoked when the
wind was from a certain direction.
The ash pan always needed empty
ing. The wood box and the coal
pail always needed filling.
Perhaps my electric range would
be my choice.
Then / remember the days when
we didn't have a deep freeze in the
basement. When we butchered a
beef had to can all of the meat
unless the weather was cold and we
could hang part of it in the shed.
But chinook or warm-up meant
more canning. I miss the old-fash-
Toned ice cream we made when the
children took turns with the handle,
and what fun they had when the
dasher came out, licking It'll
But when I open my deep freezer
with all the packages and ice cream
cartons ready to be used on short
notice, / realize it would be con-
venience most difficult to give up.
There is the furnace with the
automatic stoker feeding the coal,
and the water pump and water soft
ener and the washing machine
They all add much to good living
The refrigerator in my kitchen
how could ever manage without
It? Although we were fortunate be-
cause water from the big spring

through concrete trough on the
floor. I had flat racks placed on the

Big Spring Ranch house had al
ways been as convenient as it wa
possible to make it. For long tim
our electricity was supplied by
S2-volt light plant in the basemen
with its 'put-put-put." 1t did no
run itself like the present system
It had to be filled with gas when

When we needed extra lights tn

pleasantly of old-fashioned pinks.
She raised them in her neat, Eliza
