Adonis Gets Sentence
OF 2-3 Years in Jail,
To Pay $4,000 Fine
Convicted Gambler Was
Called Notorious by
Senate Crime Probers
By the Associated Press

| HACKENSACK, N. j.. May o.
Big-shot racketeer Joe Adonis was
sentenced to 2 to 3 years in State
prison and fined $4,000 today for
violating New Jersey gambling
laws.
! It was the first jail sentence
ever imposed on the 49-year-olo
Adonis, who was named by the
Senate Crime Committee as one
OF the Nations most notorious
gamblers.
| Superior Court Judge j. Wal
lace Leyden. who imposed SEN
tence, also suspended an addi-
tional 5-year term.
Receiving similar sentences were
four New Jersey associates of the
dapper, Brooklyn-born underworld
figure, Salvatore (Solly Moore)
Moretti. 46, of Demarest: James
piggy Lynch, 46, of Palisades
Park; Arthur Longano, 46, of
Englewood, and Anthony Guarini,
SO, of Hasbrouck Heights.
| All five were accused of operat-
ing plush 81 million North Jer-
sey dice gambling empire. They
each faced a possible sentence of
18 years in prison and $4,000
fine.
Adonis, whose real name is Jo-
Seph Doto, and his four lieuten-
ants elected to plead no defense
to four gambling conspiracy
charges last Monday rather than
face the publicity of a trial.
Joe Adonis the victim of the
most vicious, rotten persecution
that ever existed" his attorney
John Selser, told the court.
HE pleaded guilty because he
knows society has to have it,
pound of flesh" he added.
There had been rumors after
Adonis' plea last week that the
State had made a deal with the
racketeer in return for the plea
An 18-month sentence was hinteo
at by aides of State Attorney Gen
eral Theodore D. Parsons.
Denied He Was Principal.
Mr.. Selser insisted that Adonis
and Moretti never were principals
in the operation of the three dice
palaces, across the Hudson River
from New York. He said they
merely loaned money to opera
tors of the gambling places wher
|; they took heavy losses in 1910.
i Mr.. Selser said he may appeal
the sentences and told Judse
Leyden he now was sorry he
: had submitted no defense pleas
for the defendants. He said he
could have gotten his clients of
with only year in Jail.

United States 9th Army head
quarters announced 5000 Reds

1000 were taken last week.
Most of the 5000 were captured
in a great box-like trap, Is miles

into Sakchang, AZ miles north of
the parallel and 10 miles west of
Hwachon. Americans moved up
on their western flank.
Reds put up stiffening resist
ance against advancing forces to-
day and fewer surrendered.
A strong Allied task force showed
10 miles beyond captured Inje into
North Korea. 1t was turned back
by withering fire from Red road
block near the village of Hangye,
miles north of the parallel. This
U. N. force had driven from an

has plenty of reserves and great
latent capabilities. He can smash
us again if he wants to. But
there's no denying his troops have
low morale right now and they
are very weary and ill-fed."
Greek Troops Praised.
The general also praised the
Greek battalion which is serving
as part of the 7th Cavalry Regi-
ment.
It just wish we had more Greek
battalions over here-maybe a
brigade" Gen. Van Fleet said. "If
we had enough of them we could

Airmen reported the Red re-
treat "in Central Korea resembled
a rout," the Far East Air Forces
said.
The Allied advance cut off es-
cape routes and may have
knocked the Reds out as a serious
threat for at least three months.
9th Army officers said.
The Allied advance was general
across the 125-mile front. It pune
tured the 38th Parallel boundary
of Red Korea on almost every
main highway.
Escape Route Sealed.
South of the border a key escape
route was sealed when Americans
captured Hyon, a road junction
on the east-central front, south
east of Inje.

Stocks Drop $1-$4
In Wave Of Selling;
Earnings Cuts Cited
by the Assoeiafsd Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-Declines
of around ! to 4 points were COM
mon on the stock market today as
a selling wave hit midway through
a session already marked by
losses.
Selling orders poured onto the
floor. The ticker tape fell seven
minutes behind floor transactions
at times.
Chemicals led the slide but
there were substantial losses In
every major group.
Traders said the declines were
due in large part to disappoint-
ment over the earnings of Du
Pont and General Electric. They
pointed to record high sales OF
some large companies and the
greatly reduced profits in the face
of mounting costs.
American Cyanamid dropped
AZ at one time and Allied Chem
lcal was on 4 points. Du Pont
slipped 4 points but steadied
enough to gain back a few cents.
General Electric was down ga,
Santa Fe was off 2A and Bethle-
hem Steel was down 23s at times.
Losers of point of more were
United States Steel. Republic,
Chrysler. United States Rubber
