Chicago Prober Says
Florida Is Stamping
Ground Of Racketeers
Peterson Tells Senute
Unit of Links to Half
Dozen Northern Cities
BY Miriom Ottenberq

Senate crime hunters were told
today that the nations most no
torious racketeers make Florida
their stamping ground"
Virgil Peterson. former FBI
agent and operating director Of
the Chicago Crime Commission,
traced for the Senate Crime In
vestigating Committee the lines
leading to Florida from half a
dozen cities.
Mr.. Peterson told the commit
tee that the Capone gang from
Chicago has held a firm foothold
in Florida for the past 20 years
and that most Capone gangsters
operate Miami rackets. He gave
the committee the addresses of
what he described as the palatial
homes of the Chicago mobsters in
Florida.
In Broward County. north of
Dade County where Miami is To-
Gated, Mr.. Peterson said Frank
Costeno's New York mob controls
the gambling.
Cleveland Gangsters in Miami.
Many important Cleveland
gangsters are located in Miami
and several Minneapolis gamblers
own ocean-front property on Mi
ami Beach. Mr.. Peterson added.
The witness also dealt at some
length with Nevada gambling re-
sorts. He said that one of the
most elaborate gambling estab-
lishments in the country, the
Desert Inn. is controlled by a
Cleveland syndicate. Further, he
went on, Mert Wertheimer, whom
he characterized as a member of
Michigan's Chesterfield syndicate,
is tied up with the gambling con-
cession at the Riverside Hotel in
Reno, New, and was In partner
ship with New York mobsters in
Broward County's Colonial Inn,
now Green Acres.
In all cases Mr.. Peterson pains

that Air Force B-29 bombers
sighted and hit four submarines
in a North Korean harbor yester-
day.
However. he said, it was known
that prior to the outbreak of
fighting in South Korea. Russian
submarines based at Dairen on
the Yellow Sea had made trips to
Chinnampo. approximately 20
miles southwest of .Pyongyang,
the North Korean capital. It was
at Chinnampo where the B-29
crews reported that they "be-
lieved" they had hit the subs.
The spokesman said there had
been ne aerial photo reconnais-
sance of the action and that the
reports reaching here did not give
the altitude at which the Super
Fortresses were operating at the
time.
"It takes a pretty skilled OBJ
server to sight submarines in
bombing raids" he commented.
New Cruiser Unit Dispatched.
The spokesman also announced
that a new cruiser division. COM
manded by Rear Admiral c. c.
Hartman, had left Long Beach,
Calf, for Pearl Harbor to join the
q, ,500-ton aircraft carrier Phil
ippine Sea. The Navy has not said
that the new task force would go
west of Pearl Harbor but it is
assumed that the warships are
headed for Far East action. The
division included the heavy cruis-
ers Helena and Toledo and seven
destroyers.
Secretary of Defense johnson
and Chairman Bradley of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff briefed the
Cabinet on the situation this
morning at the White House.
Later Mr.. johnson indicated to re-

$3.50 Million
For A-bombs
H-Bomb Development
Included in Funds
Request to Congress
By Joseph A. Fox

~~SSFb ~ Va
President Truman today asked
Congress for $3.50 million to step
up the work on atomic weapons,
including the powerful hydrogen
bomb.
A White House statement said
this would enable the Atomic En-
ergy Commission "to build addi-
tional and more efficient plants
and related facilities required in
furtherance of a director of Janu-
ary 81 which called on the COM
mission to go forward with its
work on all forms of atomic weap-
ons, including the hydrogen bomb.
These additional plants, like
the existing facilities" President
Truman said. will provide ma
terials which can be used either
for weapons or for fuels potenti-
ally useful for power purposes.
The plants will be of advanced
design and their operation will
provide new knowledge that will
speed the progress of the atomic
energy program"
Has Confidence in Leadership.
In this connection, the Presi-
dent also took a crack at critics
Of the Atomic Energy Commission,
declaring that in the new under
taking the organization "has my
complete confidence, based upon
the able and vigorous leadership
Of which it has given to the
atomic energy program in the
past"
The Administration faces a
fight over the reappointment to
the commission of Sumner Pike,
former acting chairman, a vote
being scheduled for Monday.
Confirmation Of MIR. Pike, Re-
publican. in a four-year term was
predicted today by Senator
Brewster. Republican, Of Maine,
as reports circulated on Capitol
Hill that the President has de-
cided on q new permanent chair
man. It was rumored the nonli-
nation may be sent to the Senate
before Monday, thereby removing
one objection to Mr.. Pike-fear
on the part of his opponents that
he may become permanent chair
man.
The President stressed at the
same time that the Government
would continue to depend heavily
upon the ingenuity and co-opera-
ton Of American industry" in
atomic research.
Desires Effective Control.
The President also reiterated
this Governments firm desire for
effective international control of
atomic energy which has been
blocked by Russia.
"The expansion In the scope of
our atomic energy program gives
added emphasis to the fact that
atomic energy has great potenti-
alities both for destruction and
for the benefit Of mankind" he
said.
