Blood Money Taxpayer
Asks Revenue Office Quiz
BY the Associated Press

DIES MONIES, Feb. 13.-The
man who paid off part of a
Federal income tax claim with
a tubfull of silver dollars
drenched with animal blood
asked today for an investiga-
ton of corruption" in Internal
Revenue Offices in Iowa and
Nebraska.
Robert E. Friel, 81, of Council
Bluffs, Iowa, Democratic candi-
date for Congress in the 7th
district of Iowa, sent the request
by telegram to United States
Attorney General Brownell.
Mr.. Friel last Wednesday
dumped $4.997 in silver dollars
into tub. sloshed a couple of
quarts of blood over them and
then offered the money in part
payment of the $13,542 Federal
tax claim against him.
He said at that time that the
scene was a reply to Internal
Revenue agents who, he said,
"harrassed" his parents during
an investigation of his finances.
AS a result of the blood on
silver dollars" incident, he said,
he has been promised $4,000
from one source to help him in
his campaign.

scribed as multi-million dollar
international racket in babies.
Louis Glazer. 81, was the fourth
person taken into custody since
the case broke yesterday. He was
released on bail Of $3.50 and will
face five charges at a prelim-
mary hearing next Friday.
Two women. one reported to

chased" a baby for $500. The
baby is now being cared for by
provincial authorities. Names of

ternity home at the time of the

migrated to the State to con-
struct thousands of homes for
Government employees at atomic
and military installations. Many
of these projects now are COM
pleted and there is not sufficient
industry in the State to take up
the slack.
The four industrial newcomer
areas, however, are suffering
principally from the slackening
in demand for new autos and
accessories and the cutback in
defense contracts.
Factory Rolls Drop.
The Bureau Of Labor Stats
tics. which develops its figures
from payroll statistics, has re-
ported that factory pay rolls
dropped by 100000 from mid
December to mid-January, the
sharpest reduction for the sea-
son since recession year 1948. It
listed declines. not attributable
to seasonal influences, in pri-
mary metals. machinery. leather.
transportation equipment and
ordnance. 1t added however,
that the non-farm total January
employment of 47,7O0,OOO was
the largest tor the month except
in January of 1858.
The Census Bureau, which OBJ
tainS its data from interviews
with households and includes
domestic help. unpaid family
workers and self-employed per-
sons who do not show up on pay
rolls. has contended that the
December to January decline in
employment was no greater than
the post-ChristmaS decline in
recent years.
The Labor Department lists a
2 million decline in jobs from
December to January while the
census figures place the drop at
/ million.

upturn in manufacturing and
the normal upswing in nom

4. The affected cities can't
rely too heavily on the Federal
Governments contract program
to solve their problems. A
spokesman for the Office of De-

CHICAGO, Feb. 13.-America' s
industrial centers hardest hit by
the post Christmas business
slackoff still have more people
working and fewer on relief than
during recession year 1949
This was shown in an Asso-
ciated Press spot check of condi-
tons in all % big city areas
which have been classed by the
Labor Department as distress
regions with substantial unem-
ployment. The designation gives
them special preference in get
ting future Government con-
tracts.
The survey was designed to
show what industries are chiefly
affected. the extent of unemploy-
ment. the cause of the jobless-
ness and the future outlook. It
indicated:
/. The current business let
down has been scarcely a factor
in the economic problems beset-
ting some regions. More than
three-fourths of the areas in the
present distress category already
were clasSed there as far back as
1852 or earlier. They have been
plagued by long-range economic
problems. Chief among them are
a lessened demand for coal and
textiles from some eastern
regions or a big labor supply
with only seasonal job oppor-
tunities in some southern States.
2. Unemployment Is as bad or
worse than in 1949 in most of

problems. but the opposite is
