Kefauver Gets PLEDGE
OF New York Help
On Erickson Case
By Miriam Gutenberg

Chairman kefauver OF the Sen
ate Crime Investigating Commit
tee said last night he had worked
out a "full agreement for CO.
operation" with New York au-
thorities on the Frank Erickson
case.
Erickson, self acknowledged
bookmaker with q $12,500,0 900 an
nual business. is now being in
vestigated by a Federal Grand
Jury in New York.
The Senate committees inter-
est in the case was whetted by dis
closures in court last week that
Erickson got cut Of the profits
from a Florida gambling resort.
Taking Up Erickson Case.
Senator Kefauver and his
crime e-investigating colleagues are
making it a point not to discuss
individual cases under investiga-
tion but he acknowledged the
committee is "very much inter-
ested in the New York and Flor
ida situations" and is going to
work on the Erickson case.
The committee chairman said
he had consulted with New York
District Attorney Frank 8. Hogan
on the Erickson investigation. He
was reluctant to discuss what ar
rangements had been made but
it was assumed the committees
investigators will have access to
the Erickson records seized in a
raid Oh the gamblers Park ave-
nue. Offices May 2.
Senator Kefauver pointed out
the committee already had re-
ceived assurances of cooperation
from the Miami Crime Commits
sion. which has been investigating
Florida gambling operations.
The Erickson case, he indi-
Gated, may develop as case study
of the concentration of wealth in
the hands of a gambler. The COM
mittee announced last week that
1t planned to investigate the
amassing of wealth by organized
criminal elements how the
money is acquired and how used
to WELD political power.
. Commerce Group Interested
The New York records in the
Erickson case also have attracted
the attention of the Senate Com
merce subcommittee before which
Erickson testified. New York au-
thorities said the seized records
included two promissory notes for
$4,000 signed by Frank Costello.
Erickson had testified his only
dealings with Costello were on
some Texas oil leases.
Chairman Mcfarland Of the
Commerce group said his subcom-
mittee will meet soon to decide
whether to pursue the question of
possible perjury in Erickson's
testimony.
Costello, reputed gambling king,
pin, also testified before the same
committee and Senator McFar-
land asked United States Attorney
George Morris Fay to determine
IT, Costello had committed per-
jury. This action was taken as
the result Of allegations that
Costello's testimony here differed
from what he told q New York
grand jury in 1949.
Senator Mcfarland said last
night he had been advised by Mr..
Fay that the prosecutor has OBJ
tanned a transcript of Costello's
grand jury testimony and is
studying it.
