Woonsocket, r. l., April 24-(UP)
John F. Chg jack Letendre may
have been shot to death by profess
sional killers because he violated the
underworld code and "welshed" on
a gambling debt, investigators be-
lieved today.
They based their belief on re-
ports that:
/. Letendre was a heavy bettor
and frequent loser on races at the
Narragansett Park Horse Race
Track where he was a director and
stakeholder. Often, it was said. he
wagered $4,000 or more on q single
lday.
2. He reputedly had paid off
some gambling debts in the past by
disposing Of stock he owned in the
track. This, 1t was said, was an In
dication he was short of ready cash.
Often Skirted Law
A bluff, overbearing and blustry
French Canadian Of So, Letendre
apparently was involved in numer-
Gus enterprises that skirted the
fringe OF the law.
Those who knew him or were as
ISOLATED with enterprises in which
he was interested, agreed that he
had many enemies. any one OF
whom might have had him slain.
Letendre's execution by q gunman
early yesterday. almost at the door
Of q church near his home, was
planned with such care as TO indt-
cate that his killers must have
studied the spot for days.

Ghouls who snatched Mussolini's
remains from their potters grave
Monday night left note signed
Democrats Fascist Party" The
note eulogized II Duce and said the
party had taken his body into Gus
tody.
Speculate on Connection
Police officials said they had no
knowledge of any underground Or
ganization calling itself Democratic
Fascists." Several investigators, in
Guiding British Maj. James Fleet
wood, the Anglo American liaison
officer with the italian police, saw
q possible connection between the
note and the SAM.
Tomorrow will be a national holi-
day concentrating the ami
verSary Of the Partisan uprising that
freed Milan and led to MusSolIni'S
execution and the subsequent public
display Of his bullet-scarred body in
the Loreto Square.
Because Of the political aspect of
the grave-snatching, police took ex-
ira precautions against Fascist DEM
onstrations, possibly involving II
Duce's body, over the holiday.
Police said the thieves had exact
knowledge Of the grave and worked
skillfully. They left shovels and
hammers near the open grave. Bits
OF the plain wooden coffin in which
Mussolini was buried on May 2, 1915,
already beginning to decay, were
found In the freshly dug dirt.
Remains Probably Washed
The thieves apparently carried the
remains In a blanket or some SINH
lar wrapping TO nearby fountain
In the cemetery police said. There
were boot marks around the foun-
tain.
Several persons probably washed
the remains taken from the grave
at the fountain before carrying
them away" police official said.
Can Exchange Telegram Dis
patch from Milan said that
watchdogs posted near the grave
had been chloroformed or poison
ed.
The official italian government
attitude was that SAM. and the
other Neo-FasciSt groups are few in
number and badly organized, con-
shutting little threat. How much the
melodramatic grave snatching might
crystalize their support was proble-
NAUTICAL.
SAM. has emerged as the lead
ing Fascist group during the last
six months. Scorza was arrested by
police last November and placed in
q Jesuit monastery from which he
escaped two days later. Nearly 100
alleged SAM. members, including,
women were arrested during the
subsequent search for Scorza.
