Gongsters
 Rule In Chi.

Chicago, April 14-(UP)-Gang- sters methodically checked the haunts of underworld characters to- day in search for their boss, roly poly Jack Guzik, current chief of the old Al Capone gang, who van- ished yesterday.
 There was evidence that his disap- pearance might be the beginning of the end for what is left of the Capone mob's rule over the city's gambling, bootlegging, and other rackets.
 Police took no part in the search because they had not received an official complaint of the Kidnapping in suburban Berwyn. The hunting was being done by fellow mobsters who feared he had been seized for ransom or taken for 8 one-day-ride.
 A gambler close to Gudk said he felt sure the gang lord had been rubbed out"
 If they wanted money from him, they wouldn't have had to snatch him." he said. You could get money from Jack without a Kidnapping"
 The murder theory was strength ened by the recent appearance of a new mob, the Diamond gang" A diamond worn on the little finger of the left hand is badge of member ship.
 The members are young hood lumS, some with recent discharges from the armed forces. Underworld sources said the Diamond mob, en- couraged by the wartime shortage of liquor had moved into the heart of the crumbling Capone rackets. There was ample evidence that the newcomers did not fear the "old men" of the Capone syndicate. Capone's brother, Ralph, is passing middle age and reportedly wishing he could retire. Guzik, left to carry on after the suicide of Frank Nitti and the sentencing of other Capone mobsters for labor racketeering, is 58.
 Police put Guzik on the spot when Nley summoned him to Willow Springs yesterday to answer dis orderly conduct charge. He was leaving the court when kidnapers pulled him from his automobile.
 Guzik had been arrested by John McGinnis, chief of the county hiNl, way police, shortly after he returned from his customary winter vacation in Florida last Saturday. He was released on bond pending his ar- raignment yesterday.

Now It's Major Bonq

Allied Headquarters, Southwest Pacific, April IA (UP)-Capt. Rich ard I. Bong, Poplar, Wis, was pro- noted to a major Wednesday, the same day he shot down his 26th and 27th Japanese planes over Hollan- dia, New Guinea, to become Ameri- ca's an-time fighter ace, 1t was announced today.
 In connection with Bongs achievement, 1t was recalled that when Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker visited the southwest Pacific a year and a half ago. he promised a case of Scotch to the first pilot who broke the record of 26 planes he shot down in the first World War.
 Bong is a teetotaler, however, and If he collects the Scotch he prob ably will throw party for his unit.

Fewer Fatal Accidents

ticut safer place in which to live.
 The Safety Commission explained that accidents caused one out of every % deaths last year in Con- necticut as compared to one out of every IS deaths during 1922 in this state.
 This reduction is all the more impressive when 1t is noted that Connecticut fatalities for 1943 prob ably will total about 1S,1O0 as corn- pared with 17,001 recorded for 1o42." the Safety Commission declared, The commission stateu that figures on which the estimate was based were provisional" furnished by the State Department of Health and subject to corrections as additional data is received.
 Accidents killed HAP persons in Connecticut during 1942. This toll to carelessness was reduced to $50 deaths last year. Of this totalA 5A lives were saved through a decrease in traffic fatalities, but the most substantial portion, 138 eases, were distributed through other types of sudden death," the Safety Commits sion asserted.
 Throughout the nation, fatalities caused by accidents fell off seven per cent during 1943," the Safety Commission said, land 1t is grati- flying to find Connecticut with a much higher decrease. Throughout the nation, also, the all-accident death toll dropped from fourth place in 1942 to fifth in 1943, yield ing to heart disease, cancer, cere- bral hemorrhage and nephritiS as the main causes for death.
 Tt is probable that Connecticut's experience is following the national trend, but official information is unavailable now to confirm this 1n- ference"

Burton Warns OfHiqher Foxes

Boston, April 14- (UP) U. s. Sen. Harold H. Burton, R., Ohio, predicts increased postwar taxes and a national debt 10 times higher than the current debt.
 Burton told Bowdoin College ale umni meeting last night that de- fault on the national debt would mean despair and suffering and would open the door to such utili- tartan regimentation as to make us wonder whether we had won or lost the war;
 ITO carry these taxes and this debt we must create a condition of abundance" Burton said. ITO do this calls for government protection of fair practices and protection against economic dictatorshipS which can be as bad as political dictator ships"

mission. 1t was quiet there, ana
pigeons fluttered happily around
the old bell tower. Passing the
place always made Sam feel
better he couldn't help think
ing of the times it had been
through - good and bad - and
how the principles it stood for
had endured through so many
other wars.
Kids were playing baseball in a
vacant lot just beyond, and that
towheaded, freckled tyke with the
skinny legs i DR.. Beechams
youngest boy - hit home run
just as Sam went by.
He DROPPED off more mail in the
next couple of blocks, and was
surprised to find how much the
sack had lightened. The sun low
cred, and evening coolness came
quickly, and now there were peo-
pie out working in their gardens.
He'd noticed long before that folks
always had pleasant word when
they were doing that. He smelled
apple pie baking in Mrs. Mcln-
tyres oven.
Maybe you could put a lot OF
little things together and make
sense out of them, and. again,
maybe you were just a sentimen-
tai old fool with rheumatism and
a Job you hoped wouldn't last too
long. But all at once Sam Blaisdell
thought he understood, better
than he ever had before, what they
were fighting for the Schwartz
boys, and Steve Horton, and the
Gonzales kid and Perry Crewes
and all the others. And if it would
be any comfort to Steve. he'd hold
down the mail route until hell
froze over and caught all the Japs
underneath.
And then Sam came to the last
block, and the sack was heavy
again, though there was nothing
in it but those two kilograms. He
saw Ellen Horton going into the
gate of the little stucco house
which was built like an English
cottage, and Jane Crewes was
watering the flowers while little
Perry rode his scooter on the
walk.
You had to know these things
and these people: knowing them.
you could see what happened and
remember it later as clearly as
the action of stage play viewed
for the sixth time.
FIRST there was the little stran-
gled cry from Jane Crewes, and
the yellow paper fiuttering to the
sidewalk, and mist from the hose
blurring the purple words from the
Secretary of the Navy as tears
would have done.
Then Ellen and Jane and Sam
were inside the house. 1t was
almost dark in the living room,
and Sam saw Jane sitting rigid
and white-faced on the very edge
of chair.

then, and handed Jane a glass.

very quietly. "And listen to me.
They're only missing - under

without even f1utter of her eye

girl knelt and held her hands.

there twisting his hat. He said,
"Ellen's right, Jane. Sure she Is.
1t sounded a little fat, He said,
Ellen :. is there anything can
do?"
She looked up and smiled. Turn
on the phonograph. Sam. There's
one of our favorite records -
Steve's and mine - on top OF the
stack. It's Schubert's Ave Maria.
Will you play that?'
Sam did what she asked. He
didn't know much about music.
but something about the piece re-
minded him of the old mission;
the song was both prayer and a
triumph. "Tke Lord is wsth
thee. " 1t lent wings to the faith
needed for tonight and tomorrow.
and for all the tomorrows to come.
Before it was half done playing.
Jane had relaxed and was sob
bing very softly, and almost smil-
ing through her tears. :.
STEVE HORTON opened his eyes to
the glare of sun and sea. Perry was
turned around, stretching one
cramped leg by resting it over the
gunwale. MIR. Mcdonald hadn't
moved, but it seemed to Steve
that he was breathing more regu-
larly. He dipped the handkerchief
in the sea again, and looked at
his watch as he bathed the pilots

breath and opened his eyes. They
regarded Steve for long moment,

was gone from them. Mr.. McDon-
