The United States immigration
and Naturalization Service, of
which the Border Patrol is part,
says more than 100000 were

the II months ending July 81,

months before that.

The tragic part of the wetback
business is that many of these
men, if they only knew it, could
enter the country legally under

Lured by Big Pay Tales.
It's estimated 10 per cent of
the wetbacks come from those
three States. Lured by tales of
big pay in the States, they drift
north toward the border. The
great mass of them head for The
lower Rio Grande Valley, around
Brownsville. Tex. The river is
shallow and easy to wade there,
and the more concentrated agri-
culture-citrus crops and the
like-offer more job opportuni-
ties.
More wetbacks are captured
in the McAllen sector of the
United States Border Patrol,
which includes Brownsville, than
in any other. Here's how appre-
tensions in the patrols eight
sectors compare in the past three

cially during the war, reaching
a wartime peak of $4,000 in
1914, but they largely followed
normal immigration procedures.
During the war. however, the
movement of wetbacks zoomed
too. 1t became so difficult to
apprehend them once they were
in the country, that in 1949 the
United States Government SIM
ply gave up and granted legal
status to $1,000 of them.
Finally, early in the calendar
year 1851, agreements with Mex
leo were reached under which
reception centers were estab-
lished at Monterey, Chihuahua
and Hermosillo. Under a new
agreement later that year, the
present system of handling mi

Wetbacks are MeXicans who
slip across the border to work on

Most used to swim or wade the
Rie Grande River and got their
backs wet doing it. Nowadays
many wetbacks come over in

|$1S5,OOO Mail Fraud
| Probers Call Former
Navy Undersecretary
by the Assoeicfed Press

A House committee probing a
big mail fraud case today sum-
moned a lawyer who helped per-
suade the Justice Department to
drop the case in 1916.
He is Francis P. Whitehair,
former Undersecretary of the
Navy who is now practicing law
at Deland, Fla. He did not hold
the Navy post when the case
was under consideration.
A judiciary subcommittee
headed by Representative Keat-
ing, Republican. New York,
called Mr.. Whitehair for testi-
mony after it hears from two
Justice Department attorneys,
William Paisley and Ben Brooks.
Described as Persuasive
Mr.. Whitehair was described
at yesterdays hearing as most

of charges of mail fraud and

Mr.. Davis said he still thought
the Government could win it's
case but, three months later, he
said Mr.. Caudle ordered the
prosecution called off.

by defrauding holders of bonds
issued by Panama City and Cit
rus County, Florida.
SEC witnesses contended the
company did not disclose full in
formation to bondholders.
The hearing record shows Mr..
Caudle issued a formal explana-
ton that Crummer's attorneys
brought out additional facts"
after the indictments, and pam

cluded prosecution was not
merited.
Thomas B. Hart. SEC regional
examiner at Chicago, challenged
Mr.. Caudle's explanation and
protested against the depart

testify and Mr.. Heating said he
