WHK, at Cleveland, and WLW, Cincinnati, have been asked to broadcast his description and warnings against his operations. The fraud is id to represent himself as an eye specialist employed by the bu- reau of pensions. He sells spectacles on which he places a value of $40 a pair, but offers them to war pensioners at ‘ the understanding that he will obtain an increase in tht pensioner’s annuity.
