kefauver Urges Trial
OF Big Ohio Boys
In Kentucky Gaming
BY The As.oeiased Pres,

Senator Kefauver, Democrat, Of
Tennessee, says he hopes efforts
will be made to prosecute "the big
boys" in a Cleveland syndicate
who pocketed fat profits from
lush gambling casinos in Northern
Kentucky.
He made the comment after the
Senate Crime Investigating Com
mittee spent nearly II hours yes
terday in taking testimony about
gambling in Kenton and Campbell
counties, across the Ohio River
from Cincinnati.
The committee heard Leonard
j. Connor, the sergeant-at-arms Of
the Kentucky State Senate, admit
that he had been operating a
handbook in Latonia, KY, since
1887.
HandboOkS Illegal.
Handbooks are illegal in Ken
lucky. Mr.. Connor said the hand
book in his turb club is closed
now. He added that he didn't
know whether he would reopen
it later.
Mr.. Connor, who is a Kenton
County election commissioner,
said his handbook didn't make
any money at all last year, but
that he had realized about 5000
or $4,000 from slot machines.
Another witness, City Commis-
sioner John j. Moloney, of Coving-
ton, KY, testified his life had been
threatened because he tried ia
halt gambling in that city. He
also said he had indirectly been
offered share in gambling profits
He told the committee he declined
the profit-sharing and laughed OF
threatening letters as the work OF
crankS.
Witnesses agreed that all types
OF gambling operated openly in
Kenton and Campbell Counties ir
the past. although they said that
at present the lid is on pretty
generally.
Says improvements Needed.
Senator Kefauver said some i'm
provement in the situation could
be observed but he added that a
good deal remains to be done.
Testimony showed that the
custom" in Campbell and Kentor
Counties has been for the gam.
blers to shut down while the grand
1uries are in session and then re-
open after they have adjourned.
Senator Kefauver said the grand
Jurors concerned themselves only
with any gambling activities under
way while they were in session
and did not inquire into what
went on at other times.
