Of the nation wide inquiry is the

The other major objective is the
uncovering Of evidence that inter-
State criminal activities are
winked at through corruption OF
local officials.
In the closed Miami hearings,
made public yesterday, the crime
hunters devoted considerable time
to finding out how gambling places
could operate with the knowledge
Of public officials. That was focal
point of their questioning of
Sheriff Walter Clark Of Broward
County, Fla, whose suspension
was announced Friday by Gov.
Fuller Warren.
Sheriff Clark testified three or
four gambling places and four or
five bookmaking centers operated
last year in his county during the
season. When he was asked why
he let them operate, he replied:
II was elected on the liberal
ticket and the people want it and
enjoy it."
What They Want, Sheriff Says.

wink your eyes at them?" asked
Senator Kefauver.
I let them have what they want
for the tourists down there"
Sheriff Clark responded.
The Sheriff said, in answer to
other questions, that his oppon-
ents through the newspapers ac-
cused him of allowing the county
to run wide open. He said he
never denied the charge and was
reelected.
Referring specifically to q
gambling club run. according to
other testimony. by New York
mobsters, Committee Counsel
HALEY asked the sheriff:
Did you consider it your duty
as sheriff of the county to at least
find out what was going on in a
place that was notoriously engag-
ing in gambling, even if you were
Iiberal?"

This colloouy followed:

This colloquy followed:
Sheriff Clark-I never had any
complaints on it.
Mr.. Halley-You knew gambling
was going on?
Sheriff Clark-YeS, sir.
Mr.. Halley-You didn't even
care to find out what it was like?
Sheriff Clark-No.
In his testimony at the subse-
quent open hearings, Sheriff
Clark was more reluctant to admit
wide-open gambling but he did
say he was assured Of campaign
support from Jake LansIky, part.

clubs and longtime associate Of

Another view Of wide-open
gambling was supplied at the

the bookie who testified at both

he took a financial beating by
booking bets for Mickey Cohen.

he operated the bookmaking con.
cession at the palatial Boca Ration
Club in partnership with Erickson.

During the questioning Of
O'Rourke, this exchange took
place:
Senator Kefauver-You can't
operate a place like that in vio-
lation Of the law unless somebody
knows about 1t. Who did you pay
of?
oRourke-I didn't pay anybody
of.
Senator Kefauver-Mr. O'Rou-

O'Rourke-I have friends In

Senator Kefauver-My question
was: Who did you pay of for

O'Rourke-As far as protection,
I may give a little for campaigns
and stuff like that. but that is all.

out that O'Rourke's donations"
