Ancient Fraud Still Used,
Post Office Inspector Says
The 364 year old Spanish pri
son racket is still sending hun
dreds of Americans to Mexico
Citv annually, each with $10,000
which he does not bring back,
Paul D. Bentley, Seattle postal
inspector, told a Chamber of
Commerce audience Monday at
the Hotel Marion.
This hoary old fraud is still
bilking American suckers and
shows no signs of letting up,
Bentley said, adding that some
of the victims suffer physical
violence as well as loss of their
money. The letetrs they get are
virtually identical year after
year and the something for
nothing lure still works. Bentley
told of numerous other frauds
worked through the mails, many
of whose perpetrators are now
behind bars, through postal in
spection activity.
Bentley said the postal depart
ment was the largest non-military
branch of the federal gov
ernment with over 500,000 em
ployes. It has 41,000 post of
fices, 32,000 rural routes, serv
ing approximately one and a halt
million miles every day, while
over 50 billion pieces of mail
were transported in 1953 by the
department and there were over
900 million transactions,
He said (he postal department bearing the Marine Corps
had one of the largest saving blem, for his cooperation
I while it was estimated that for
j04 mere would be approxi
matcly 53 7-10 billion pieces.
Bentley had figures to show
the 'growth of the Salem post
office, comparing the 1B43 fig
ures with those of 1953. Listing
tne ltM3 figures first they are:
employes, 93, compared 174;
revenue $33,351, compared to
$78,9b7; payroll, $14,778 and
$78,967; receipts, $433,504 and
$985,543.
Speaking briefly before Bent
ley was a newcomer to this
country, Hans Kiessling, who
only recently arrived in Salem
from Germany. Kiessling told
of the help given his country by
the United States through the
Hoover plan and the Marshal
plan and of how his people appreciated-
this help. Especially
mentioned was the Berlin Air
lift with tribute paid Gen. Lu
cius Clay and the pilots who
flew the lift. Before conclud-.
ing his talk the German remind
ed that since the 1953 election
his country was the only one in
Europe without communism rep

Girl Scouts to
Sell Cookies
Girl Scouts throughout the
Santium area council will be
knocking on doors and settine un
downtown booths March 12-27 for
their am.i.al cookie sale.
The sale Is being started tills
year on the founding date of the
tzna year of Cirl Scouting in the
United Slates. Girl Scout Week
is being recognized this year
Maren 7-13 with the theme,
"Know Your Neighbors Know

The Girl Scout program neces
sitated drastic cutbacks this year
as a result of failings in the
1953 Community Chest fund
drive. Without the funds, cer
tain vital portions of the program
will, by necessity, have to be

The 8-ounce box of cookies
purchased in this community
may well mean the difference be
