Wiley Charges
C . 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.
