"X" marks the spot sometimes Fl THE DAYS of Spanish plate ships and the Jolly Roger when Morgan sailed and Blackbeard scourged the seas the banks were few and scattered. Furthermore, a bank er was likely to suspect a de positor who wore ear-rings and carried a knife in his teeth. So a practicing pirate had no choice but to bury his treasure and mark his map with an "X." If there could be a map of the oil industry, that would have an "X" upon it, too perhaps several of them. But this would be no "X" which marks the spot. It would be "X" in another form repre senting the unknown. How many persons know, for instance, that for what has been taken out of 'the oil industry investors have put in more than twelve billion dollars? ... Or that above four million persons depend for support upon its 1,250,000 workers? ... Or that two million Americans share in its dividends? Did you, to be specific, know that government has obtained more income from petroleum products than the industry has earned from their sale? Such facts, we believe, should be known to everybody be cause they affect everybody. The "X" on an ancient treasure map is mostly romance. Our "X" is one of hard-boiled mathematics personal both to us and to you.

CHICAGO. Aug. 25. (UP) Chi cago churchmen "turned the heat" on the multi-million dollar Ram bling racket today with a demand Gov. Henry Horner investigate the connection between the racket and city and county politics. "Names are too well known to mention." the Chicago church fed eration said in an open letter to the governor. "It is reported constantly In order to open up a gambling Joint a pay ment of $250 a week In some In stances must be paid. How this take Is divided up and what officials par ticipate In this unholy profit la a matter for official Investigation. "If the city and county refuse to Investigate, we respectfully ask you as chief executive to Institute an official inquiry." The federation, representing l.ObO Protestant churches, demanded tlw Investigation be similar to the one conducted by District Attorney Thorn as E. Dewey In New York. Coincident with the federation's letter, state's attorney's "hatchet men were continuing a series of raid:, started a week ago against the hand books. Failure to obtain convictions In the courts where In the last two days 94 persons arrested in gambling raids have been released, led to organiz ation of the wrecking crew des.gne.-l to undertake a drive to make hand book operation strictly a hazardous and expensive venture.
