Identification Luckino

Police today sought to deter
mine If the badly-decomposed
body of an unidentified middle
aged man found in a thicket off
the Baltimore boulevard near
Savage, Md, was the victim of
murder or suicide.
There was clear indication that
the victims throat had been
slashed, although the windpipe
was untouched. The puzzling
factor was that the larynx was
missing.
One investigator said the voice
box appeared to have been care
fully cut away. Another ad-
vanced an opinion that an animal
might have chewed it out.
DR.. Russell S. Fisher, chief med
ical examiner for the State of
Maryland, said the body may have
lain in the thicket for several
weeks. When it was found by a
10-year-old boy on turtle hunt
ing expedition late Saturday it
was partially in a shallow stream.
A cleaning mark on the victim s
coat led investigators to Wis
consin avenue dry cleaners where
it was established that the gar
ment was cleaned more than a
year ago. The marking system
was changed IA months ago and
the mark in the coat was from
the old system, investigators were
told.
Another indication the man
might have lived in the District
was streetcar transfer dated
May 9 for a North Capitol street

Probers Study
Deportation Of
Alien Gangsters
Senators Investigating
Decentralization and
Other Processes
BY Miriam Ottenbero


Senate crime hunters may use
immigration and naturalization
machinery as a weapon against
foreign-born gangsters, it was
learned today.
Numbered in this group are
men whose regulations have long
been so unsavory that they have
been unable to get citizenship.
Others have been convicted of
major crimes since being natural
lied.
A number of legal technicali-
ties stand in the way of cleaning
up the underworld through de-
portation, it was understood, but
the Senate Crime Investigating
Committee is expected to take
long look at the possibilities.
One Of the questions the COM
mittee wants answered is whether
conviction Of felony is not suf-
ficient basis for starting the ma
chinery to revoke a convict's nat
uralization.
West Coast Gangster Cited.
Prominent among those who
have never been nautralized is
Jack Dragna, who is well known
to law enforcement officers but,
has Stunned publicity. Dragna is
rated by the California Crime
Commission as the West Coasts
No. gangster.
Dragna was described as the
"Capone of Los Angeles" by James
r. Ragan, who controlled the Ma
tion-wide race wire service before
his assassination in Chicago in
1946.
According to the California
com mission. the Italian-born
Dragna is member of the Malta,
the dread Sicilian society of as
SaSSinS.
The commission, IN its January,
1850. report. described Dragna's
principal activity as the organiza-
ton OF the bookmaking racket,
particularly through control of
communications through which
the bookies get their racing in
formation and make their betting
arrangements.
Figured in Siegel Operations.
According To. the commission
Dragna figured Importantly in the
California operations Of "Bugsy"
Siegel, who then controlled Trans
America wire service on the West
Coast. This service, the commits
sion noted, was set up by the Ca
pone syndicate to compete with
the Continental Press Service Of
Mr.. Ragan.
After Mr.. Ragan's murder the
commission report went on, Trans
America merged with Continental
except on the West Coast, where
Siegel kept it up.
The commission said it was
known that two visitors from Chi
cago suddenly appeared in Cali
fornia and conferred with Dragna
and that he abruptly withdrew
from Trans America. Two weeks
later, on June 81. 1947, Siegel
was murdered.
Since then. rival groups headed
by Dragna and the fiamboyant
and much shot at Mickey Cohen

criminal organizations" on the
West Coast, the commission re-
ported.
The commission indicated its
belief that Dragna has the edge
on his only rival. partially because
OF his influence over italian and
Sicilian groups. Also, the COM
mission reported. at least seven
members of Cohen's gang have
gone over to Dragna.
Although frequently arrested,
Dragna has never been convicted
of major offense since his re-
