ORDER ROUNDUP IN LOTTERY QUIZ

Call Employee . Suspects Before Safety Board.

A roundup of all city firemen and police officers who might have had some connection with the lottery bésed upon the Speedway race has been ordered by the safety board at the request of Mayor Tyndall. The board asked Fire Chief Harry Fulmer and Police Chief Jesse McMurtry to order all city ‘employees linked with the lottery scheme to appear before the board tomorrow. Meanwhile, Prosecutor Blue filed affidavits in Criminal court today against George H. Purcell, 1402 N., Alabama st, a city fireman and Raymond T. Metcalf, 6139 Winthrop ave, retired fireman, charging them with operating a lottery and gift enterprise, pool selling and gaming. Action Follows Confession The action followed a confession

made yesterday by Purcell who ad-|

mitted that he was a partner in the scheme with Metcalf whom he described as the “boss” of the lottery. Purcell was arrested on the charges and released on $1000 bond when he surrendered voluntarily in criminal court today, accompanied by a bondsman. Metcalf, who left the city a week ago, has not been located by the prosecutor’s office, Two policemen have been suspended from the force for 30 days as the result of their alleged connection with the lottery as sales agents for, Purcell and Metcalf. They are Patrolmen Frank Delatore and Philip J. DeBarr. 24,200 Tickets Sold Purcell, in his confession, said that 100,000 tickets at $1 each were printed for the project, but that “according to Metcalf’s figures,” only 24,200 of them were sold. Purcell said Metcalf told him his share of the net profits was $587.50 “which I have received.” Cash “prizes” totaling $14,500 were purported to have been paid by Metcalf to four winners. Fire Chief Pulmer said “We suspect that there might have been a sales agent for the tickets in every fire station in the city.” “We are checking on it but up to now we've found no specific evidence that any of them actually sold tickets,” Chief Fulmer said. “About the only way well find out is by some member of the department ‘spilling the beans’ and involving others,” he said. If there was a fireman acting as sales agent in every fire station, the number involved might total 20 to 30 members of the department, Chief Fulmer said.

FEAR OPA BILLS EFFECT ON PAY

{ |

Believe Curbs *Must Go if Measures Pass.

WASHINGTON, June 19 (U. P). —Government stabilization officials expressed the belief today that enactment of pending OPA bills would force an immediate relaxation of wage controls. Chairman W. Willard Wirtz of the wage stabilization board was represented as feeling that it would be necessary to change the gpvernment's four-month-old wage policy before the end of July if the administration loses its price control fight. It was that policy which settled the steel strike and set the pattern for settling other wage disputes since mid-Febrary. Fear Labor Unrest

Uncertainty over the price and cost-of-living outlook accounted for the belief among governmerit labor officials that the comparative peace on the labor front may not last. C. 1. O. and A. F. of L. leaders have asserted that relaxing price controls would lead to strikes and labor unrest. Hence government labor officials already were talking about the threat of another labor “crisis,” less than a week after the last major dispute was settled. Asks No-Strike Pledge To avert that threat, Stabilization Director Chester Bowles has sounded out A. F. of L. President william Green and C. I. O. President Philip Murray on a new &iostrike agreement. It was indicated that the pro-| posed agreement might be attached {to a presidential veto along with a request for a simple extension of| | the present price control law. Both Mr. Green and Mr, Murray were reported to have raised conditions and avoided definite commitments. One A. F. of L. official | indicated that the A. F. of L. would | agree to a one-year, no-strike pledge | if assured fhat all wage controls {would be serapped at the end of | that period. Labor May Withdraw

There was little chance, however, | that President John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers, most power- | ful of the A. F. of L. unions, would bind the U. M. W. to any such pledge. The U, M. W. still has no contract with private bituminous mine operators. In any event, Mr. Bowles’ proposal depended on maintaining OPA on a basis satisfactory to labor and the administration. It presumably would vest authority to settle wage disputes in the wage stabilization board or a similar agency as was done during the war. Government officials believed that labor would withdraw its representatives from the WSB if the present OPA legislation is enacted and the administration attempted to keep its

WALLACE FEARS ‘BOOM AND BUST

Secretary Defends Rent and Price Controls.

By EULALIE McDOWELL . - United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, June 19.-—8Secre-tary of Commerce Henry A, Wallace said today that destruction or even weakening of present price and rent controls would be asking “for the same kind of boom and bust that began at just about this time” after world war I. “If we can avoid rocking the economic boat right now,” Mr. Wallace said in a statement, “American business in my opinion can enjoy the most profitable period-in its history during the years just ahead.” Mr. Wallace's latest defense of the administration's price program was issued as congressional conferees began efforts to iron out differences in OPA extension bills passed by the senate and house, The senate approved lifting of controls on meat, poultry and dairy products, petroleum and tobacco. One Major Problem The house bill would remove controls of commodities when production reaches 1941 levels. Other major differences in the two measures also must be reconciled. One major problem of the 14 conferees, congressional sources said, would be to draft a price bill that would not draw a Presidential veto. Rep. Brent Spence (D, Ky.), head of the house conferees, sald he “will do everything in my power “to keep virtually all price controls the senate proposed to remove. Mr. Wallace said he was convinced “that business faces a rocky future if we let down our guard against inflation.” : Come Out Second Best “If we can rely on history to tell us anything,” he continued, “we must recognize that to weaken or destroy price and rent control now would be to ask for the same kind of boom and bust that began at just about this time after the last war.” Mr. Wallace said that a rapid increase in prices would result in millions of small businessmen and thousands of veterans coming “out second best in the wild scramble” for raw materials and finished goods.

CALIFORNIA COURT RULES ON DIVORCES

HOLLYWOOD, June 19 (U, P.) — California courts need not recognize divorces obtained in Nevada, where most of the city's movie stars go to shed their mates, a state supreme court ruling said today. In a five-to-two decision, the tribunal declared a California court may rule out any out-of-state divorce if it is shown the divorced person established out-of-state residence purely to fulfill divorce requirements. The decision yesterday came in the case of Ben E. Crouch, whom a lower court had denied the right to sue for property settlement and support from Edith M. Crouch after she received a Nevada divorce. The supreme court said he could go| ahead and sue. In a dissenting opinion, Justice B. Rey Schauer pointed out the nation has approximately 5,000,000 divorced persons and said to keep their status “socially tolerable” a | rule of law must be applicable uni- | formly in all states.
