THE EVEN NG STAR, WASHINGTON, NUMBERS RACKET KING INVESTIGATED . Cleveland Operator Said to| Gross $1,300,000 in Year by “Higher-ups’” Aid. By the Associated Press. CLEVELAND, March 14.—Cne col- ored operator of number games here rolled up a gross income of $1,300,000 last year, Assistant County Prosecutor Charles McNamee said yesterday. McNamee named Benny Mason as the policy king. Mason appeared be- fore the county grand jury for ques- tioning about a police charge that he claimed protection from “higher ups’ in the city government Mason's records, the assistant pros- ecutor said, showed that he had three policy games running day and night, employed 25 persons and had a weekly pay roll of more than $500. Before testifying in the grand jury investigation Mason said his gross annual income was $180,000. He said his profits last vear totaled $14,000 Mason. whose policy game tickets cost customers from 1 to 10 cents, said he has no fear of income tax charges “because I pay my income tax promptly.” He said that in addition to his 25 regular employes he has “about 200 policy writers, each of whom deducts | a 24 per cent commission before turning in the proceeds of the sales. “I'm mnot the biggest operator, either,” Mason said. The operator was brought before the grand jury after a policeman quoted Mason as saying: I don't pay any attention to cops like you. I deal with big shots.” Mason denied mak- ing the statement. F. H.
