Crime , Washington, Aug. 25.— Senator Wiley (R., Wis.) charged today that organized rackets and payoffs poi soned the nation’s capital. Urging continuation of the Sen ate’s investigation into crime con dition. Wiley said the Senate’s Commerce Committee ought to take over when the special crime inquiry committee’s life ends next Friday. Wiley is a member of the latter- group. Most pressing need, the Wiscon sin senator said, is an investiga tion into vice and crime in the District of Columbia. He said anonymous letters he has received reported that there is “a considerable amount of payoffs to law enforcement officers up and down the line so that they would ignore numbers and horse race bet ting operations being carried on in their areas in both the district and in adjacent Maryland and Virginia counties.” As a result of recent crime com mittee disclosures indicating big scale gambling in the Washington area, a District of Columbia Grand Jury and authorities in Maryland have started investigations. Wiley said: “The Senate Crime Committee has proved that no major organized crime, whether it be the policy racket, horse race betting, or other forms of gambling can possibly ex ist under the noses of the police without police connivance and pro tection in any American city. "The crime committee has also proved that there is probably no city in the country where organiz ed rackest can not be smashed practically overnight if the wraps are taken off and if policemen hon estly and fearlessly set out to do the job which they are supposed to do. “It is a very unhealthy situation where the seat of a national gov ernment is partially poisoned by the existence of crime and corrup tion. Wiley said criminals all over the country “are marking the days off on the calendar until Friday night, August 31, when the crime com mittee expires. “It is reported that in a great many American major city areas like the parishes outside New Or leans. organized gambling (now- under the lid) expects the green light to be flashed on Septem ber 1 and expects to open up its es tablishments bigger, wider and more profitably than ever,” he said. 610,000 Seedlings Are Set In 1950 During 1950 planting season for pine tree seedlings, 83 Laurens County landowners ordered a to tal of 610.0Q0 tree seedlings and set approximately 610 acres of land. County Agent C. B. Cannon, declared. Planting demonstrations and discussions were held at the same time, in the proper manage ment of timberland. The motion picture film titled, “Woods and a Way,” was shown at 18 group meetings attended by 538 people, Mr. Cannon said. Through the cooperation of the District forestry service, 25 farm ers were assisted in making wood land examinations on 2980 acres. Mr. Cannon added that a total of U.169 cords of pulpwood was cut in Laurens county during 1950. There were nine farmers last year planting 27,886 seedlings and who received soil bulding practice payments for carrying out such practice, Mr. Cannon said. “Again this year there will be available pine tree seedlings to landowners free up to 3,000 by paying transportation charges of 50 cents per 1000 seedlings. All seedlings above the 3000 limit will be $3.00 per 1000 which includes transportation charges,” said Mr. Cannon. Any person wishing to place or ders for pine tree seedlings are re quested to contact the County Agent’s office and fill out applica tion blank or may also contact the Soil Conservation District office and file request.
