Number of Letters Reach
National Capital and Of
ficial Stationery Used
to Keep Ball Rolling
WASHINGTON. May S. (AP) The
"send -a -dime" chain letter scheme
that first attracted attention at Den
ver, was said today to be spreading
rapidly. jeplte that It haa been de
clared Illegal by the postofflce de
partment. A number of such letters even have
reached the national capital, where
Attorney General Cummlnga warned
employes of the Justice department
not to participate in the chain after
It was disclosed the official depart
ment stationery had been used to fur
ther It. It would be the department's
duty to prosecute any fraud cases
that may arise from such chain let
ters. Solicitor Karl Crowley recently in
formed the prist masters at Denver
and at Mason City and Des Moines,
Iowa, tttut the "send a dime" letters
violate the fraud and lottery sections
of the postal laws and are unmallable.
He and Chief Inspector K. P. Aid rich
acknowledged, however, that there
was little chance of stopping them
because all first-class mall must be
delivered.
The ssme opinion was expressed by
Postmaster-General James A. Farlev.
His first comment was: "Well they
help the postal receipt."
Post office Inspectors are endeavor
ing to find the originators of the
scheme. In most Instances so far no
evidence of fraud has been found but
officials say they feel sure the per
sons who first started the chain fixed
it so that they and friends or klnfolk
would receive the bulk of the first
payments. This would constitute
fraud In the opinion of officials.
