Mr.. Stassen said it is not sur
prising the American worker is
misinformed. He said the worker
has been subjected to lombard
ment of misinformation by left
wingers, many labor leaders and
many politicians, and has received
little accurate information from
business men.
Sample Survey Cited.
To make his point about the
workers misinformation, he gave
the results Of survey of 200
workmen in the Philadelphia
Camden area. They were asked
how much clear profit they think
their companies make for every
dollar paid in wages. The answers
averaged 43 cents, whereas, in
fact, the profit is less than 10
cents, Mr.. Stassen said.
Other questions produced replies
which averaged this way: The
department store makes 80 cents
clear profit out of every dollar
spent in it and the manufacturer
gets SO cents profit for every dol
lars worth of goods he sells the
store. Mr.. Stassen gave the cor
rect figures as AZ cents per dollar

cents per dollar of manufacturers

BY the Associoted Press
KANSAS CITY, May IA Fed
eral grand jury's report Of multi
million dollar gambling opera
tions in the Midwest today
spurred local and State authori-
ties into greater action against
racketeering.
The jury decried an "utter dis
regard for our State as well as
our municipal laws"
1t said gambling operations
centering in Kansas City under
world are not, however, confined
to Kansas City and vicinity" the
report stated, adding that the op-
erationS extended into Kansas,
Iowa and Nebraska.
Testified Before Jury.
The jury named Charles Binag-
gio and Charles Gargotta as
among those involved. Both testi-
fed before the jury. They were
shot to death in their political
clubrooms April S.
Binaggio was a North Side Dem
ocratic leader. Gargotta, an ex-
convict, was his Strong-arm aide
and was known as "the enforcer." !"
But the jury reported the en-
forcer turned informer when he
testified and Squealed on his asso-
ciates.
The jury, which has been in
vestigating underworld activities
for seven months, made it's interim
report Saturday but will continue
its inquiry. No indictments were
returned.
Circuit Judge Orders Probe.
Today Circuit Judge Ray G.
Cowan moved toward a county
grand jury investigation of State
law violations. The county body
will begin work next week.
Gov. Forrest Smith at jefferson
City sent a telegram to Judge
Cowan, asking him to call a county
grand jury to investigate all law
violations with special emphasis
on gambling rackets and State
income tax evaSionS."
Gov. Smith told a press con-
ference he also would direct At
torney General j. E. Taylor, the
State highway patrol and other
law enforcement agencies to CO.
operate in the investigation.
Mr.. Taylor already had tele-
graphed Federal Judge Richard
M. Duncan. asking for a copy of
all evidence of the Federal grand
jury on gambling and underworld
activities in Kansas City. Mr..
Taylor said he would cooperate
with local law enforcement Off
cials and with any county grand
jury called.
Gov. Smith said he was con-
vinced practically everything re-
ferred to" by the Federal grand
jury happened before he took Of
flee in January. 1949. He said
Kansas City's police chief Henry
w. johnson, was preparing a re-
port showing none of those places
are running now or have been
running for over two years."
In Kansas. authorities have al
ready moved to curb gambling
ring operations. They padlocked
the Last Chance Tavern, a gamb-
ling joint built on the State-line-
half in Missouri and half in
Kansas. Only the Kansas side
was padlocked.

1t was at the Last Chance Tav-
ern that Binaggio and Gargotta
were seen shortly before they were

said many if not all of the cases
cited by Senator Mccarthy were
investigated by a House Expendi-
lures Subcommittee, of which he
was a member, and House ap-
preparations group more than two
years ago.
"The allegation has either been
made or the impression conveyed
to the American people that these
cases Senator Mccarthy has il,
mind are of recent origin" the
Missourian continued. ANY i'm
preston that the American peo-
pie might have that this is a mat
ter of recent origin is completely
erroneous"
Karsten Calls for Facts.
Mr.. Karsten added that in view
of strained work conditions it was
of vital Importance" to deter
mine whether the Mccarthy
charges were rehashing old cases,
and he said:
II cannot in good conscience sit
idly by and see the American peo-
pie confused with distrust of their
own Government at time when
our Nation needs the greatest
unity of purpose in its history to
meet the world menace of Soviet
Russia and the slavery and de-
gradation which it would impose
on all mankind. 1t is important
in the interests of the country
that the matter I have presented
be looked into and the facts OBJ
tained and disclosed"
The hint of new material in
the inquiry came from Senator
Tydings in his weekly broadcast.
Saying he had accumulated "a
vast amount" Of valuable material
to be turned over to the commit
tee, the chairman added:
81. There are some things
I happen to know that have never
fully come out to the people and
to the Senate and even to the
committee In view of those things
which may come to notice this
week. it might be we'll for every
one to be. a little careful, includ-
ing our own committee and my
self, on reaching any ultimate
conclusions about what is involved
in this whole matter"
Mccarthy Retorts Quickly.
Senator Tydings gave no hint
OF the material he has accumu-
lated or on what phase of the
committees investigation of the
Mccarthy charges that they will
touch.
Senator Mccarthy had a quick
retort. meanwhile, for the week.

In a separate transcribed radio
program broadcast here over the
week end, Senator Mccarthy re-
newed his criticism of President
Truman and the Democratic mem
oers OF the committee for the way
the inquiry has been conducted.
He said he has almost gone

Bureau Of Investigation agents to

LAKE ERIE ISLAND HIGHWAYS
MAINTAINED BY STATE Dept,

COLUMBUS - Few motorists
know that the State of Ohio main
tains highways beyond it's main
land in one of the most interesting
areas in the midwest-the Lake
Erie Wine Islands.
Century old wineries and many
large vineyards are responsible for
the name tagged on the islands
that are Ohio domain. The group
includes North Bass, Middle Bass,
South Bass or Put-m-Bay, Kel-
leys and several other smaller
islands.
In addition to the wineries,
many of which are open to public
inspection, there are other tourist
attractions on the islands.
Many advantages are gained by
touring the islands by automobile
for the state-maintained highways
traverse the most picturesque sec
tions of this part of Ohio.
Thousands of people visit the
islands each year since they lie in
the heart. of the Lake Erie Vaca-
tionland and afford facilities for
swimming, boating, fishing and
other sports. Means of transpor-
tation to the islands are: plane
passenger boat, water taxi OF auto
ferry. The airline provides about
the only way of crossing to the
islands during the ice fishing sea
son when the lake is completely
frozen over. Some intrepid trav-
elers cross the thick ice in auto
mobiles.
Motorists can board an auto
ferry at Port Clinton or Catawba
and enjoy a 40 minute ride to
Put-in-Bay. Another fast auto
ferry phys between Sandusky and
Kelleys Island.
On South Bass Island the tour
ist can spend a week or a day
driving past the vineyards and
summer resorts, visiting the un-
derground caverns, swimming OF
fishing, and inspecting the million
dollar Perry Victory Memorial.
Put-in-Bay is the only year
round resort on the Great Lakes

In the fall, the grape harvest is
on. The island grape juice and
wines are famous, all over Amer
lea. The island is said to be the
best smallmouth bass fishing area
IN the world. Hunting is also
exceptionally good, with plenty of
pheasants and rabbits.
The State Highways on kelleys
Island lead to many adventures
for the visiting motorist. Along
the shore is the broad gently
sloping bathing beach.
The waters surrounding this
island are noted fishing grounds.
The sight of fishermen mending
their nets, the fishing fleets un-
loading their catch, and the cla-
NOR of gulls overhead creates the
feeling that it is Il New England
village instead OF an inland spot
like Ohio.
kelleys Island is famous for its
two State Parks: Inscription Rock
Park in which is located historical
Inscription Rock, covered with
Indian Photograph writings, dis
covered in 1888; and Glacial
Grooves Park in which are the fa-
nous Glacial Grooves, considered
the finest example of glacial cary
ings in America. Another sight
on the island is a large American
Eagles nest, one of the few in
northern Ohio.
Each one of the Wine Islands
has cabins for vacationing on over
night guests. Until the past yeai
the demand for cabins and hoteI
rooms was so great that thousands
of vacationers failed to find ac-
commodations. The construction
Of new resorts has reached the
point where all visitors to the
islands can be sure cf obtaining
lodging.
