GIRLTOTELL JURY OF WHITE SLAVERY New York Vice Probe Hopes to Disclose Name of Overlord. By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, March 11.—A 19-year- old girl, caught in the web of com- mercialized vige, stood forth in a key role today in the grand jury’s efforts | to pry the lid off New York’s powerful vice and policy rackets. She was directed by District Attorney ‘William C. Dodge to repeat before the grand jury a story of four weeks aof captivity in the hands of a white slave syndicate in Brooklyn, and to disclose the name of one of the city's vice overlords. | Her appearance before the grand | Jury shared immediate interest with the little black book of Polly Adler, notorious night life operator, who was scheduled for trial today on a vice | charge growing out of a raid on her place last week. Bail Bonding Under Fire. ‘The book was reported to contain the names of several widely known Broadway figures among the patrons owing her money.

His death was the ninth attributed by police to have resulted from the present inquiry. 500 Arrested in Week. The new clean-up ostensibly is & drive to rid the city of prestitution, policy gambling and bail bond irreg- ularities. Police say the policy “take” exceeds $70,000,000 a year. Last week District Attorney Dodge caused the arrest of 500 of the mob's “small fry”—hired slip-writers, pay-off clerks, runners and diggers. Many New Yorkers have regarded Arthur (“Dutch Schultz”) Flegen- heimer, Gotham's public enemy No. 1, as the “numbers king.” Schultz strenuously denies that ranking. He reiterated his denials at police headquarters in Troy, N. Y., Saturday when he appeared to disclaim connec- tion with the murder there of Jules Martin, Queens taxicab man and his former associate.

NEW YORK, Mareh 11.—James Truslow Adams, historian, reiterated his charges against the workings of the Agricultural Adjustment Act yes- terday. He sald he had not received the letter made public yesterday in Wash- ington by Chester C. Davis, adminis- trator of the act. “Mr. Davis,” he sald, “apparently has not seen fit to send me personally a copy of the letter in which he prac- tically calls me a liar. “At least I have received no such letter as yet.” In an interview last week Adams illustrated his theories on current gov- ernment spending by three stories, D. C, which he said reached him through “first-hand sources.” The accuracy of many of his state- ments was challenged in the letter Davis made public. One story concerned a man in the South who had an estate on which, Adams said, he had never tried to raise cotton. During the last year, the historian asserted, the A. A. A. sent the man a check for $1,500 for cotton he did not grow. The man protested, not once, but several times, Adams said, but in the end accepted the money. Of this man, Davis sald: “You do not know any such person MONDAY, MARCH 11, 1935. as you describe. No such person ex- ists. No cotton benefit checks for $1,500 or for any other sum whatever have been sent to any other person as owners or operators of land on which cotton has never been grown.” Adams sald Davis was mistaken that he (Adams) did know of such a case, and that the other stories cited were true, also.
