RAKE ON TRADE, {0PKINS PLEADS

Flow of Commerce.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24 (U.P). Secretary" 3

tion’s economic life. - Mr. Hopkins has formed an interdepartmental committee to study and unify Government activities for combatting .inroads to the free

| flow of commerce between the

states. : In a letter inviting the appoint- * ment of representatives to the committee from the State, Labor, Agriculture and Justice Departments, . the Federal Works Agency, and the : »National Resources Committee, Mr. Hopkins said: : “For several years a number of Government agencies have been giving attention to the problem of the increasing barriers to inter-

state trade. I have been concerned

about the growth of these barriers and have had our division of industrial economics working on the problem. “However, it would seem that the Government - might function more effectively if the various interested ~~ agencies were to join forces or at least co-ordinate their efforts.”

Truitt Is Chairman

Paul T. Truitt of the Commerce t industrial economics

* division, was appointed chairman

of the committee. He will confer with Chairman Joseph C. O'Mahoney (D. Wyo.) of the Federal Monopoly Committee to arrange hearings for presentation of evidence of the economic effects of state laws obstructing interstate

trade. Discussing restrictive laws and regulations, Mr. Hopkins said: “During the past few years the problem of interstate barriers to free trade between the several states has grown to be a serious threat to the economic life and business wellbeing of our country. It has resulted in loss of business generally.

Co-ordination Sought “The Department of Commerce, the council of state governments, other Federal agencies, state organizations and civic groups are fully aware of the far reaching evils of these many laws and regulations tending to strangle trade and com-

merce. . “I feel that the objective for both the Federal and state governments should be to strive for co-ordination in state and Federal laws which will permit a free flow of interstate commerce consistent with such reguatory functions as are necessary.” Mr. Hopkins also announced coordination of his department's editorial, correspondence and commercial intelligence divisions. The new . unit will be headed by Wilford L. White, former chief of the marketing research division.

LEPKE IS LINKED TO NEW SLAYING

Police Wind Thread Between Los Angeles Gang Victim And Garment Industry.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 24 (U. P).— Police found a connection today between Louis (Lepke) Buchalter, America’s “most vicious” public enemy who is in a New York jail, and the assassination of George Schachter, 48, in a Los Angeles street. The nature of the connection was a police secret, but Los Angeles and New York authorities were collaborating to learn all its ramifications. “Schachter might have been killed because he knew too much and was going to talk,” .Police Captain Ed Edwards said. 5 Lepke goes to trial in New York Federal District Court Monday on charges of violating the Federal narcotic law. When the Federal Government finishes with him, District Attorney Thomas E. Dewey has charges of industrial racketeering pending against him which, if he were convicted on all of them, would send him to prison for several hundred years.

Was Fugitive Two Years

Lepke had been a fugitive for two years when he surrendered to Federal men on Aug. 25 hoping to escape Mr. Dewey's prosecution. The Federal Government and the City of New York had each offered $25,000 for him, “dead or alive.” Police found a thin thread at once between the assassinated Schachter and the New York garment industry which Lepke terrorized for years, taking tribute - that amounted to many millions. He once had been a New York clothing manufacturer, they found, had “failed.” His widow, Ida, said he had been a pants presser and a part-time chauffeur here, but she had no idea who employed him.

Brutal Career Charged

Lepleiar=ErTinal career, New York authorities have charged, has been marked by violence -of the most brutal and merciless kind and others have died since he jumped a $10,000 appeal bond two years ago to escape going to a Federal prison, merely because they “knew too much.” Mrs. Schachter said that her husband, for a reason unknown to her, had used the name of her first husband and that his real name had been Harry Gottesman. Police entertained no. doubt that Schachter had been executed by gangsters. The style was unmistakable. Two men in a black sedan drew alongside Schachter’s car. They pushed pistols through the open window and let him have it. There were no witnesses.
