Crime Probe Results
Encourage Kefauver,
He'll Ask More Laws

Tennessee said today he is en-
couraged by enforcement of the
laws his crime committee helped
enact, but wants Congress to ap-
prove more Of its recommends
tions.
In a statement Senator Ke-
fauver. who was chairman Of the
Senate Crime Investigating Com
mittee during most of its life, said
he has received encouraging re-
ports" from the Justice and
Treasury Departments.
These show, he said, that they
are following through on the COM
mittee'S recommendations.
But they also show, he added,
that additional legislation urged
by the committee should be passed
by Congress.
The recommendations would re-
quire racketeers to keep records
and produce statement showing
their net financial worth. They
would also prohibit deduction of
illegal gambling losses from in
come tax returns.
Urges Permanent Commission.
Another committee suggestion
was for creation of a permanent
crime commission. Senator Ke-
fauver said he would propose this
again at the January session Of
Congress.
Figures in the Bureau Of
Internal Revenue, meanwhile, :,
showed something pretty drastic
apparently going on among the
Nations gambling fraternity.
In the wake of the crime COM
mittee investigation last year,
Congress passed a law requiring
gamblers to pay a $50 occupation
tax every year, plus 10 per cent
excise tax.
Many gamblers were wary of
the law since, in effect, it regis
tered them in a profession out
lawed in most States. Neverthe-
less. before the end of fiscal 1852
last June 80. total of 22,401t
gamblers had registered.
Since July /, start of the new
fiscal year and time for getting
new stamps, only $3.50 gambling
occupation stamps were bought,
the bureau reported today. Off
cials doubted there was a collapse
in the trade but were not sure
whether, on the strength of dis
trict court ruling that the tax Isl
unconstitutional, gamblers had de-
cided the Supreme Court will over
throw the law and had held off
buying stamps.
Lotteries on Upswing.
The bureau, in a report quoted
by Senator Kefauver, said lotteries
and bookmaking were on the up
swing.
Senator Kefauver said that, in
response to inquiries from him and
other former members of the COM
mittee. the Justice Department
reported:
l. Special "rackets" grand
juries, recommended by the COM
mittee. were called in sc of the
"a Federal judicial districts. OF
these, 49 concluded their sessions
and II are still active.
2. These grand juries have re-
turned at least $50 indictments,
charging offenses against the in
come tax, liquor, narcotics, slot
machine and gamblers stamp tax
laws.
3. AS Of July /, some 335 cases
arising under the gambling tax
law were procesSed. Under the
act prohibiting interstate ship
ment of slot machines, 635 manu-
facturers registered, 81 indict-
mentS were returned and 40 per-
sons were convicted.
Narcotics bureau reports, SEN
ator Kefauver added, show level
ing of in addition among youth
ful offenders. The average Jail
sentence given offenders, former
~ % months, is now 43 months.

Puritan Church Add
Wins Round in Fight
In Mail Fraud Case

Harrison Parker. Is. an active
figure in the Puritan Church. .
yesterday won a round in District
Court to prevent his return to
Chicago to face mail fraud
charges. contained in . 1949 in
dictment.
Judge Walter M. Bastian ruled
that an arrest warrant recently
served on the defendant was defec-
tive. The defect apparently was q
clerical error made by q Chicago
deputy court clerk.
The ruling by Judge Bastian
was made in Q habeas corpus pro-
ceeding and reversed q ruling
made by District Court Judge
Burnita Shelton Matthews on Au-
gust Is.
It appears that . new arrest
warrant will have to be issued by
the Chicago court to return Parker
to that city.
Parker had been out on bond
since he was arrested.
Parker. who has styled himself
chancellor Of "the Puritan Church
of America" was at one time q
newspaper executive for the late
William Randolph Hearst. He has
been living in Washington for the

The mail fraud charges, accord
ing to the Indictment. grew out

Lincoln Bust Found Amid link.
Worth $3.50, Expert Declares

Mr.. Rothschild said Mr., Orsini
brought him the bust last April
for appraisal, and that he esti-
mated its insurance value al
$25, 900. +t%
1t would be worth that, he said
today, if it were sculpted from q
real-life sitting by Lincoln, but
he said he now has learned of the
existence of some 87-year -old let
ters which show it was not done
from life.
He said the letters indicate that
the sculptor, Franklin Simmons
did the, figure from photographs
and perhaps partially from memo
ry OF Lincoln's appearance, in the
period shortly after the Civil Wal
President was asSassinated in 1865
The letters, written by the
sculptor's wife. are in possession
OF a Massachusetts, woman, he
said, and are authentic.

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-That
bronze bust of Abraham Lincoln
found by a Connecticut junk
dealer in q cellar is worth about
S750-not any figure in the

pert said today.
Sigmund Rothschild, Manhat-
tan art appraiser. denied he had
appraised the 14-inch bust at
.$25,000.
1T would have to be of some
historical significance, or reveal
ing some new facet of Lincoln's
life to be worth anything like
that" he said.
The junk dealer. Chester Orsini
Iof Meriden, Conn, claims he has
been offered up to $4,000 for the
bust, which he unearthed while on
