Education Board Chief Is
Linked to Gangster
by Books.
BIZ United Pres.

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Aug. ga veteran
csmpaigner against crime, who has
earned the. title of Honest Pat"
opened today for public inspection
the records which told the story of
the Zuta millions and the gangsters
and officials who shared in them.
Names of high men and low ap-
peared prominently in the 497 docu-
ments, which Pat Roche, stocky,
hard listed son Of Ireland, found in
Jack Zuta's secret vaults and opened
so that all might read.
Roche, who still retains thick
brogue and who, since coming to
America has served as policeman,
government agent, income tax col
lector, prohibition agent, and special
investigator for John A. Swanson,
states attorney, continued his search
for more records, which he believed
Zuta, a slain gang leader, had
hidden.
High Names Are Barred
Among the many names, not pre-
viously announced, which Roche
made public as appearing in zuta's
books were those of Nate De Lue,
assistant business manager for the
Chicago board of education: Attor-
ney Simon Herr. law partner of the
former Judge Emanuel Eller, and
Paul w. Rothenberg, former chief
deputy coroner and a Republican
ward committeeman.
The records disclosed how zuta,
leader in the Observation-Disclosures
northside gang combine, handled
annually millions of dollars tribute
which Chicagoans paid to gangland.
how he operated dog tracks and vice
syndicates, drove enemy gangsterS
from the city, played important roles
in the city's politics, and, possibly,
how he conducted himself when his
wealth wes threatened.
Girls Statement Cited
One document in which Roche
showed special interest was an off,
cial statement given to police by
girl who was arrested three years
ago.
This girl, who never was indicted,
told the officers, according to the
document, that she came here at
the request of Joe Peppy) Genera
and Thomas (Mops) Volpe to lure
zuta into a kidnapping trap which
they planned for him.
Roche pointed out that the girls
statement never was made public
by the police, but that Zuta, some
how, obtained it, and that shortly
after the date it was obtained, Gen
ero and Volpe we're mysteriously
slain.

Notice.

BU United Press an rr1.
breach between Aimee Semple Nc
Pherson, dynamic evangelist, and
her mother, Mrs. Minnie Kennedy,
widened today when Mrs. Kennedy
definitely withdrew from the affairs
of Angelus temple as the latest move
in the three-day verbal conflict be-
tween the two women.
Both were recuperating from ILL
ness as the split came, Mrs. Nc
Pherson in her beach cottage, where
she is recovering from a nervous
breakdown, and Mrs. Kennedy in a
Brentwood sanitarium, where she is
nursing a broken nose she says she
received at the hands Of her daugh-
ter.
Mrs. Kennedyis decision was made
when she learned of a resolution
adopted by the Angelus Temple ell
ders which she interpreted as or
dering her out" of the million-dollar
four square temple.
"They can't tell me to get out"
Mrs. Kennedy was quoted. Be
cause I'm already out. I wouldn't
return if they gave it to me-"
Mrs. Mcpherson directed the
resolution from her Las Tunas beach
cottage and ordered that her mother
be informed of the resolution which
also called on the elder woman to
cease her statements"
Two elders undertook to deliver
the resolution to Mrs. Kennedy, but
we're met and turned back at the
gates of the sanitarium by Miss
Kharvina Barzek, ex-circus per-
former and now Mrs. Kennedy's
chauffeur. "You can't see her." de-
clared Miss Rarzek with authority.
Mas sick and if you have anything
to say, you'll say it to me. Ma
wants you all to know she quit the
temple long ago." =

as Ridiculous.
BY NATHAN ROBERTSON

WASHINGTON. Aug. 22-The
capital is inclined to take lightly
James w. Gerard's list Of flfty-nine
men who he said are the real
rulers" of this country. Most OF
the men listed by the former am
bassador to Germany are outside Of

Gerard's idea that wealth rules.
found considerable support in official

tracted wide interest today.
The list was characterized as

nomination in Pennsylvania.

Caraway countered with a partial
list Of his own, naming seven men
who he said we're so powerful be-
cause of their positions or their in
fuence on public opinion. that they
should be included on any list of
rules" He pointed out he was not
attempting to name a complete list.
but merely noting some of the more
important omissions on Gerard's
list.

lican. is the most powerful man in

The Arkansas senator said Green
should be on the list because he
speaks for a larger number of peo-
pie than any one on Gerard's list"
Discussing his reasons for naming
the others, Caraway said Chief JUS
tice Hughes belonged on the list be-
cause the supreme court con-
stantly remakes the Constitution;
Robinson, because he is the minority
leader of the senate and one of its
most influential members; Borah,
because he speaks to an audience
as large as any one in this country"

others more important in the field
of public opinion.
Senator Fletcher (Dem., Fla0 was
inclined to support Gerard's idea,
saying, L think he's about right,

added, however. that there we're
some very important omissions
in the former ambassadors list.
