Torrio was held responsible for bring
ing out Dion O'Banion, gang leader

THE passing of the Volstead act led
Torrio to turn his attention to the
manufacture of contraband booze and
distribution of it throughout the city, -

Torrio succeeded in controlling Cicero
elections and built what perhaps has
been the most powerful underworld
organization the city has known, the
report said
Then came the rise cf Al Capone
the Torrio henchman who succeeded to
the overlordship. Climaxing the pres

bombings of homes of city officials
were described under section SUBJ
headed Thompson and the Wide-Open

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 1.-Two new chap
ters of a sensational report on Chicago
crime were made public today by the
Illinois Association for Criminal Justice.
They charged the growth of gambling
syndicate, which at one time reached
into many cities, and they recited in
detail, going back to the early 1900s,
''the rule of the underworld and the
rise of its overlords."
The associations survey, which has
been financed in part by the Carnegie
Foundation, points to three major con-
clusions at the end of "this rapid sur
vey of organized gambling"
1.-THE first fact" the report said, "is
the continuity and persistency of a
form of social life organized around
personalities who play an important
role because the relationships in the
underworld of gambling, vice and crime
are personal and feudal, rather than
formal and institutional.
Gambling More Organized.
"The second fact is that every change
in political administration (from 1907
to date effected change, often
amounting to revolution in the exist
ing order in the gambling world.
THE third fact is that gambling, in
resisting attacks of reformers and in
meeting new situations created by
changes in administration, seems to
have become more solidified in organi-
cation, and more flexible in adapta-
tions to new situations, and more con-
cealed in its operations. In other words,
it is the ineffective efforts of the COM
munity to defend itself against vice
and gambling that give it its organized
character.
The survey set forth that the COM
plete life history of one man, were

By the Associated Press.


ROME, June 7.-Italio Balbo, under
secretary of aeronautics, announced to-
day his department was in communica-
ton with Capt. George H. wilkins, who
flew across the top of the world, hoping
to persuade him to fly in search of the
missin' dirigible Italia.
A Dornier machine similar to that
used by Roald Amundsen's expedition is
available and 1t was hoped Capt. Will
kins would consent to fly it, giving the
missing explorers the benefit of his re-
cent experience.
The mystery surrounding various
s o S calls purporting to come from
the Italia heightened interest in the
airship's fate. although many of the
messages were secuted today.
The SaVola-Marchetti S-55 flying
boat was at Milan nearly ready to take
oil tomorrow on flight to the Arctic.
The plane has two -FraSchini
"Asso" engines Of 500 horsepower each.
Three new fuel reservoirs were installed
and it was estimated that the cruising
radius of the plane had been increased
to 1880 miles.
Prof Eredia. chief of the Rome
Weather Bureau, reported conditions in
north Italy and Switzerland would be
safe for the heavy flying boat to travel
tomorrow. 1t was hoped the SIS
would reach Kings Bay in three days.
AT todayS fete of Corpus Christi
Gen. Uniberto Mobile and his crew were
remembered in prayers throughout
Italy. Tomorrow solemn iridium will
be inaugurated in the Basilica of st.
Paul'S in honor of the sacred heart of
Jesus to inplore for the safety of the
missing men. This was undertaken
at the request of Signora Diagi, wife of
the wireless expert of the Italia.

KALI LININ SAYS KELLOGG
PEACE PLAN is NONSENSE
Soviet Official Declares Powers Will
Sign Pact, but Cause of Amity
Will Not Advance.
BY JOHN GUNTHER.

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily
News. Copyright. 1928.
MOSCOW, June THE first official
Russian comment on the Kellogg pact
to outlaw war since Maxim Litvinoff' S
efforts in behalf of the Soviet disarma-
ment pan at Geneva occurred today in
cech by Joseph Kalinin, president
of the all-union central executive COM
mittee of the Union of Soviet Socialist
Tepublics.
Kalinin dismissed the American pro-
posals as nonsense.
Instead of abolishing war, the
scheme only talks about war some
more" he said. There is no doubt
that other countries will subscribe to
the scheme, but it won't advance peace
l inch"
1t will be remembered that Litvinoff
at Geneva asked American cooperation
for the Russian proposals of total dis
armament and mentioned the Kellogg
scheme with some sympathy.
