 And, as the gangster star of Mickey Cohen wansd, Joe Sica, the Icy from New Jersey, became more potent and has more or less taken Mickey's place.
 Being ambitious, Joe was not sat isfied with the sovereignty of Los Angeles alone. Up the rich Central Valley of California are some oi the wealthiest farmlands in the world, and an cid stamping ground fer Sica. Once he served as body guard for Jce Cannon. the gambling king of Fresno, while one of his narcotics runners, Alex Berry, was pilot of Cannon's private airplane

 In addition he cracked down on every gambling club in Fresno. A few citizens, who consider gamb- ling and houses of prostitution proper ways of keeping migrant workers money in town, have com plained, But the vast majority high ly approve.
 Probably Mayor Dunn didn't dream, at the time, how ramified was the network of California s underworld. Nor did he realize that he was acting in advance of one of the biggest narcotic arrests in recent history But three months later, an Armenian named Abe Davidian, speeding up the Central Valley in the dead of night, was caught with one kilo of heroin, enough to last the Fresno under world for months. He was drv- ing so fast that part Of the heroin blew into the seat of his car and had to be collected with a vac- uurn cleaner.
 That midnight drive later brought the arrest of mobster Joe Sica and l5 others, showing how closely the world of narcotics, prostitution and gambling is knit together.

Police Chiefs Holdings

The police chief responsible for keeping order in Fresno at that time was blue-eyed, heavy-set, lik- able Ray T. Wallace, who received salary from the city Of $450 a month.
 Not many people in Fresno prob ably took the trouble to investigate chief Wallace's property holdings, though such investigation can be accomplished merely by looking up the county tax assessors records. This columnist did look up the records, and was surprised to find that the police chief or his wife owned 16 ranches or parcels of land totaling l,742 acres. This does not include three lots ] in the city of Fresno, two ranches recently sold, a hotel and res taurant on G Street, and the "OK Rubber Welders," tire-recapping establishment that is owned in partnership with Wallace's son.
 These were some of the facts confronting Outrageous Gordon Dunn, the Stanford University ath- lete, after he found himself elect cd Mayor of Fresno last April. These facts also may have been one req son why he promptly fired police chief Wallace and Lieutenant Meek, owner cf the Club Alabam, and re- buffed the proposals of his cam paign manager, Robert Franklin, to open up the city

Bolivian Consuls Refuse
Visas to Jews.
Mongols. Negroes"

BUENOS AIRES (JTA)-Boliv-
ian consuls abroad made a prac-
tice of,not granting entrance visaS
to "Jews, Mongols, and Negroes"
it was learned here this week.
The policy is unofficial. An at
tempt to legalize it some eight
years ago was never followed
through.
The 1880 Jews living in Bolivia
face a good deal of social anti
Semitism. For example, if a Jew
is arrested the police announce
ment of the action lists the mans
name preceded by the word
Semitic" The newspapers, even
those processing liberal tenden-
cies publish the police commune
ques unchanged. When a Jew be-
comes a naturalized citizen his
documents are stamped "natur-
allied" to distinguish him from
native born Bolivians.
AS a result of the social anti
Semitism a large number of Jews
more than now reside in the
country-have emigrated, MAX
ing their way to Argentina, Chile
and the United States. Most of the
Jews now in Bolivia came origi-
nally from Germany.
