RECEIVER'S SUIT CHARGES FRAUD TO PROMOTERS United Grocers, Inc., Made False Claims in Stock Deals, Is Claim. Fraudulent activities by the United Grocers, Inc., 11l North New Jersey street, were charged today when Circuit Judge Harry O. Chamberlin named a receiver for the company. Edward P. Gatto. Indianapolis business man, this afternoon took over affairs of the recently organized concern. It is charged officials of the United Grocers have attempted to wring money from men seeking grocery Jobs by promising posit : ons in a large chain of stores they said would be opened throughout the city and state. The receivership suit, brought by Wallace M. Huddletson, sign painter, charged Frank Brock, sec-retary-treasurer of the company, owes him $25 and the firm was in clanger of insolvency. Stock Deals Charged It also is charged officials of the company arc making “fraudulent promises’’ to persons seeking jobs. T. M. Overley, head of the Indianapolis Better Business Bureau, stated that the organization has been under investigation by the bureau several weeks. Overley said the bureau has complaints from persons that Brock told them they must pay from SIOO to SSOO for the “privilege’’ of buying stock in the company to get $1,200-a-year grocery job. Hold Six Store Sites Brock is alleged to have represented, according to Overley, that the company would open 250 stores in Indiana, 100 of which would be in Indianapolis. In one instance, bureau offiicals said, a man complained he had given Brock his last SIOO Nov. 4, in return for promise of immediate employment, and has failed to date to obtain the position. That Brock sent notes to a loan company in Indianapolis urging advancement of money to a job seeker also is charged by Overly. Six store sites have been leased by the firm, Overly said. He charged job prospects were taken to these places to induce them to believe the company soon would be in operation. MRS.

gress, Couzens is a senate authority on railroad legislation. His desk today was piled with railroad reports and data, and he has read millions of words in preparation for the session starting Monday. There is no difference, he told the United Press in an interview, between paying a dole to an unemployed worker and paying interest or dividends on railroad securities representing idle equipment. “Railroads must stop enormous waste in competitive passenger traffic,” Couzens said. “They must abolish thousands of stations now beig maintained at a loss, and discontinue much of their short haul and less-than-carload freight business.”
