FAKED RATION TOKENS GAINING

‘Organized Black Black Markets In Meat and Sugar

Reappearing.

By GWEN MORGAN United Press Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Feb, 20.—Organized black markets in meat and sugar are reappearing in dangerous size, the office of war information warned today.

4 They are based, the OWI sald, on

the, counterfeiting of meat and sugar coupons. This has become a major problem for enforcement agencies. Institutional and indlistrial consumers are the chief patrons of the illegitimate operations. Reviewing black market opera-

tions in major rationed commodi-1|

ties, the OWT said reports from the office of price administration, the U. 8. secret service, and the alcohol tax unit of the treasury alsd showed: Illegal diversion of gasoline through counterfeit and stolen coupons has been almost stopped.

Cigarets Not Hit

No organized black markets exist in cigarets, although “petty chiselers” are operating on a small scale, Organized black market aétivities in liquor virtually have been eliminated. : The enforcement agencies reported to OWI that they are increasing day - to - day vigilance against any new: racketeering gangs that might spring up. First indication of renewed racketeering operations in red ration stemps came recently in Chicago, Price Administrator Chester Bowles reported to OWI. Fifty million red stamps—enough to buy all civilian rationed beef in the country for one week—were seized. The new activity, Bowles said, might have endangered: the entire meat rationing program.

Returns to Ee After Being Hit: in Raid-on Jap Ship.

By COURTENAY MOORE , United Press Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Feb, 20.—This is the story .of ‘a 24-year-old navy Liberator pilot who flew his plane back to base on sheer guts after his co-pilot, was killed and he got a facefull of shrapnel Which blinded one eye.

Lt. Elvin A. ‘Petersen of ’ Newton, Utah, and Corpus Christi, Tex, “ad been flying for eight hours when he encountered the Japanese | ship that caused all the trouble. He vas only 300 miles from Tokyo, and 1000 miles from home base. Nevertheless, though weak from loss of blood and half-blinded, he orought the big ship back and landed it so gently that a glass of water on the navigator's table remained upright.

Left Target Blazing

Petersen left the enemy ship blazing and sinking. The encounter occurred while the Liberator was out alone-on a search of Japa-nese-controlled waters, The co-pilot, Lt. Wallace R.

nation, OWI said, where it is needed for illicit distilling operations of the “moonshiner.” These operations are the particular tar-| get of the alcohol tax unit. On one occasion, OWI reported, | 2,000,000 pounds of illicitly-obtained sugar were traced in North Caro-| lina. Seven persons,.including some merchants, were fined a total of; $14,200. - Counterfeit sugar coupons now are appearing in great numbers as racketeers shift their business from! the fleld of gasoline to food, said. : The same control devices which | drove the racketeers out of the | gasoline coupon business are being | applied in the food rationing field. | These include use of a new kind | of government safety paper, secret

terfeit coupons, frequent changes, and serial numbering. ~~ |

Concentrate on Areas

Bowles warned that co#interfeiters concentrate on certain areas. More than 80 per cent of all coun- | terfeit gasoline coypons were found | along the-Eastern seaboard. Nearly | 30 per cent of all gasoline repre- | sented by these counterfeits was sold in New York City and Newark, No J. Chicago, Philadelphia | and Atlanta were “close behind,” he said

STATE FACES L0SS OF INSURANCE TAXES,

One of the many financial headaches facing the new state administration is the insurance tax structure. The state faces the loss of approximately $3,000,000 annually in tax revenues from out-of-state insurance companies as the result of the U. 8. supreme court decision a year ago, holding that insurance was interstate commerce. A premium tax had been collected from out-of-state insurance firms, exempting companies whose
