a Appointed by Court
Seize Syndicate Books
For Miami Probe Use
BY the Assoeioied Press

MIAMI. Aug. 5.-Four court
appointed raiders today seized
records of the S. and G. gambling
syndicate for use by the Dade
County grand jury in conspir-
acy investigation.
The order empowering the raid
ers said the records "are being
sought by the grand jury for use
as evidence to determine whether
the sheriff of Dade County and
the justice of the peace and con-
stable are parties to the conspir-
acy" to violate State gambling
laws.
James A. Sullivan is Dade
County sheriff. The sheriff told
a Senate crime investigating COM
mittee recently that his personal
fortune grew from $4,000 to some
$4,000 during three years in Of
fee.
The four raiders. two of them
officials of the Crime Commission
of Greater Miami and another
Kefauver committee investigator
and advisor to the grand jury,
raided the office Of M. G. Furman
in Miami Beach.
They seized books, Cancelled
checks. statements and a variety
of other documents and papers.
Identified With Syndicate.
Furman was identified during
the Kefauver hearing here as the
accountant for S. and G. syndicate
members. He testified before the
committee concerning income tax
difficulties the members faced with
Internal Revenue officials.
The records were hauled to the
Dade County Courthouse and
locked in a vault in the custody
Of the county clerk.
Ben Cohen, attorney for the S.
and G., protested their seizure.
The raiders received their au-
thority from Circuit Judge STAN
ley Milledge, who testified to the
Kefauver Senate committee re-
Gently that organized racketeers
had great power in South Florida.
They were Col. Jack Younger.
president of the crime commits
sion; Daniel P. Sullivan, operat-
ing director; George H. Harvey,
who signed the application for
the search warrant, and Floyd
Miner. a private detective.
Adviser to Grand Jury.
Mr.. Harvey is an investigator
for the Kefauver Committee, an
adviser to the Dade County
grand jury and a former FBI
agent.
Furman answered the knock
of the raiders. Reporters and
photographers soon arrived.
What is this?" they quoted
Furman as saying. What the
hell are you doing here?"
Il don't have the S. and G.
books" he said, angrily. They're
not here"
The raiders searched the small
suite of Offices Immediately be-
meath the S. and G.. headquarters,
and gathered up large numbers
of records.

vate capital activity and that this
along with Western Europe's
ability to produce and sell ex-
ports in the American market
would supply the dollars Europe
requires.
Red Attack Weakens Confidence.
The Communist attack on
Southern Korea-by showing that
the Russian bloc countries were
capable of such openly aggressive
action-knocked the props away
from many of these assumptions.
The attack weakened confidence
in world peace and in the safety
of foreign investments and gave
the production of arms an urgent
new priority over civilian goods
in Europe as well as here.
The European countries in the
long run stand to suffer civilian
economic reverses through re-
armament in several ways. Of
flcials here say that the diversion
of productive capacity to weapons
will reduce their saleable exports
This means a less profitable use
OF their financial resources. An
other element is the tendency OF
the price levels of an economy tc
go up under the pressure of a re-
armament program.
These adverse effects, widening
the gap between the dollars West
ern Europe earns and the dollars
it needs, will be somewhat offset
by American expenditures fo1
arms purchases in Europe and by
direct American aid to European
arms production-such as the
financing of factories and the sup
plying of raw materials.
Mr.. Hartman, among others, is
understood to be convinced, how
ever, that the Offset will not be
sufficient and that a further out
pouring of American funds will
be necessary to help keep Europe
economically strong as well as tc
make it militarily powerful.

/ Hopelessness is the common re-

pies. While their governmental

European morale has ebbed lower

American military strength is

Until last month, anti-Com-

many feel nakedly unprotected.
The pattern of the Korean war
seemingly has confirmed the worst
fears among Europeans. People
ask what tiny beachhead, if any.
the Americans would try to hold

Those are black prospects for
Frenchmen, Germans and Italians.
People also ask-in Milan, Mar

third of the Senate running for
election this fall, Congress is not
likely to stay here beyond July.
Secondly, the Georgia Senator
expressed fear that if the Treas
ury list of excise cuts is expanded
far beyond the amount that can
be off f-set by plugging other loop
holes. the tax bill would encounter
a Presidential veto.
"The most that can be hoped
for" said Senator George, sis
action on excises, and such loop
holes as can be plugged That
would give some hope for a bill
But If the excise cuts run too
Edeep,sI would have to expect a
veto. on the basis of the Presi-
dents statements"
Already some Democrats on the
House committee are talking in
favor of reduction in the excuses
on theater and movie admission
tickets, on local telephone bills,
on Photographic equipment and
electric bulbs - all items the
Treasury left unchanged.
Senator George conceded that
when you begin to select and
differentiate on the excise taxes,
you run into trouble" If the war
time excise rates cannot be re-
pealed outright, he added, the
next best thing would be a hori-
zontal reduction"
Although not committing him
self to such action, Mr.. Doughton
said there are some who want to
make horizontal cut in the ex-
else list.
Representative Martin contend
ed the revenue lost on excise cuts
could be made up by trimming
next years budget. He denied
there will be ANY great loss"
The Republican leader argued the
stimulus to business and employ
ment from reducing the excise
taxes would increase the income
tax payments of corporations.
Senator George said he also does
not think the net loss on excises
will be as great as the indicated
loss. -.~
The House committee has
scheduled at least two weeks of
hearings. Allowing two or three
weeks more for the committee to
get a bill in shape, the tax issue
is not likely to reach the House
floor until late in March.

Acheson Tells Lehman
American Way Of Life
Is on Trial in Asia

Secretary OF State AcheSon said
last night that the American way
of life is ION trial before the peo-
( pies OF Asia" and warned against
any "ill-considered action" that
might destroy faith in United
> States integrity.
He expounded this view in a
letter to Senator Lehman, Demo-
crat. of New York, who had writ
ten him indorsing the administra-
ton policy on Formosa and China
and decrying ''the clamor of those
who would serve selfish political
ends by irresponsible denuncia-
tions and attacks"
Senator Lehman made the let
ters public.
, Lehman Praises Decision.
Referring to the administra-
tion decision to keep hands off
Formosa, last stronghold of the
. Chinese Nationalist government
, threatened by the Chinese Com
munists, Senator Lehman said:
you have wisely decided, I
,~think, to maintain on a high moral
plane the policies of the United
Estates in the Far East, and thus,
in much broader sense than the
scritics of our policies will see,
protect the real interests of the
United States"
In reply. Mr.. Acheson said the
peoples of Asia are at cross
sroads," appraising two anti
sthetical ways of life"
Understanding Is Essential.
''In the long run," he added,
whether these peoples move in
the direction of the free peoples
of the West or whether they move
in the direction of Soviet COM
munism will be determined by this
appraisal.
'It is for us during this period
to extend with TACT and under
standing helping hand where
we can and guiding hand where
\ this will not be resented and,
above all. to see that the peoples
,of Asia have true picture of us
and true picture of Soviet COM
munism and q true understanding
Fof what each stands for.
=, "In q sense, we are thus on
trial before the peoples of Asia.
In this connection we must ever
have in mind that a hasty or ILL
considered action on our part
may do irreparable harm"
= Stresses positive Course"
For positive course" to fol-
Low in China, Mr. Acheson de-
sscrihed as "a most important one"
Senator Lehman's suggestion that
1--WE should seek to maintain the
sfriendliest relations with the
peoples of Asia, and we should
show the Chinese people that our
desire is, as it ever was, the ad-
vancement of their welfare and
interest"
Beyond this" the Secretary
sWroGe, we should lose no OppOr-
tunity to insure their being fully
aware of the threat to their ma
:tional independence and terri
-torial integrity which arises from
Soviet communism. jsJ
Senator, Lehman said Americans
proposingo military action to ee-
cupY or protect Formosa' would
exchange long-term advantage
for short-term profit"
What some partisans advocate
today the Senator asserted, "is
that we should initiate Sovietism
and adopt it's practices in order
to halt its spread. - We must
not practice evil in order to halt
1t. There is slower and harder,
but Surer way"
