OFFCALS EXPOSE “ORENE CLUBS Postal Inspectors Launch Drive Against Lewd Correspondence. By the Assoclated Press. Postal inspectors launched a Na- tion-wide drive today against “‘obscene correspondence clubs” whose mem- bers, were said to be exchanging a flood of lascivious photographs and letters through the mail daily. Terming the racket “one of the most vicious schemes ever exposed by the inspectors,” officials urged the public to assist in stamping out such clubs. System of Operation. Under the guise of bringing to- gether “collectors” of erotic pictures, the clubs advertise collectors’ pam- phlets for sale in inexpensive maga- gines, the department said. The pamphlets usually cost only a few cents, and when operators mail them they enclose an application for club membership. Annual dues are set usually at $2. Once a member, the prospective correspondent fills out an informa- tion blank, giving his sex, physical characteristics, mailing address, and | describing any particular hobbies of | an erotic nature. The club then acts as a ‘“clearing house” by putting members of similar interests in com- munication with each other. . Simetimes members use aliases or code numbers, inspectors said, but in other cases they correspond directly with each other under their real names. In almost every instance in- spectors have found the letters to be lewd and to contain lascivious photo- graphs or drawings. One Club Near Here. Three clubs are under investigation now in different parts of the coun- sand members, close to the National Capital. One club has a membership roster of 3,157. The department already has asked | & congressional committee to appro- | Ppriate funds next year to combat the | clubs. The department “is much encour- aged.” officials said by a 15-year sen- tence recently given Gayle R. Cleve- land, alias Miss Georgia Clayton and Miss Gayle Cleveland, by a Federal | Court in Florida for operating the Letter Club Different of Pensacola. Stamps Cover Room.

ACT PROPOSED BY LABOR Executve Committee of State Fed- eration Favors Law Similar to That in California. By the Associated Press. ALBANY, N. Y., December 10.—A State N. R. A. bill fashioned on the lines of similar legislation in Califor- nia, was recommended for legislative tion in 1937 by the Executive Com- mittee of the New York State Federa- tion of Labor at its closing session yesterday. Hailed as the “most important and outstanding commitment of the com- mittee” by Federation Président George Meany, the recommendation ‘was unprecedented. Meany said the bill would include | the principal hour and wage features of the N. R. A. measure, as well as certain provisions for fair trade prac- tice agreements. It would be designed to overcome objections raised by the United States Supreme Court when it declared the N. R. A. unconstitutional last year, Meany said. The committee also voted today to support the anti-child labor amend- ment to the Federal Constitution. 'SENATE CAMPAIGN UNIT | submitted by Louis R.

By the Associated Press. Chairman Lonergan today called the Senate Campaign Funds Committee to meet next Tuesday to draft a report on its investigation and to determine whether public hearings should be held. He may be faced with new requests for hearings into charges of politics in relief in Pennsylvania. Republican demands for such hearings before the election were rejected. ‘Whether hearings will be held may depend to a large extent on a report s, chief investigator for the committee. who cal coercion in Pennsylvania. . DRY BILL PLANNED Representative Guyer, another bill to restore prohibition in Washington. Guyer sponsored a prohibition bill for the Capital at the last session, but it failed to get out of the District Committee. “You can hardly go 100 feet with- out finding a place where liquor is sold,” Guyer said. “I regard condi- tions as much worse than under pro- BUSINESS INVESTS HEAVILY THIS YEAR S. E. C. Reports Large Sums for New Plants and Other improvements, BY the Ausoclated Press. The long-awaited trend toward in- dustrial job-making investments was pronounced a reality today by the Securities and Exchange Commission. A year-end compilation of security issues showed yesterday that business had obtained almost one-half a billion dollars of new money during the first nine months of 1936 for new plants and equipment, working capital and development expenses. ‘This compared with & meager $160,- 000,000 for the same purposes during all of 1935, For the first time in years there is & definite upward trend in the amount of money which issuers of new securi- ties plan to use in job-making invest- ments, Baldwin B. Bane, director of the Securities and Exchange sion Registration Division, said yes- terday. “Although it is a relatively small percentage of the total issue of new securities,” he added, “it already is substantially in excess of the amounts scheduled for that purpose last year, and there seems to be no reason to expect a decline.” The securities exchange act of 1934 requires that all securities offered to the public shall be registered with the Securities Commission. The commis- sion is empowered to compel a “full and, fair” disclosure to investors of material facts. Little Man Eats Much. 1t was a thin little man, Lazi Szaho, who called for the menu at an inn at Kaposvar, Western Hungary. “That’s not real food,” he said. “Here's what I want: A roast goose, six plates of hamburg steak, 2 pounds of roast goose liver, three sausages, six loaves of bread and half a gallon of wine.” The waiter reeled and called the pro- prietor, who agreed to furnish the food free if the little man ate it all. Lazi achieved the feat. SEVENTH & F 500 New Holiday GOOD-WILL STORES| ATTENTION! To Serve You Better, M. P. M. MARKET—352 pusewives of Brookland bther “Good-Will” Store Opens— 12th ST.
