Hunt Spreads GangIand
 Killers

CLIFFSIDE PARK, N. J.. Oct. g. tP-The widespread hunt for tht holsters who gunned to death talk ative Willie Moretti swung today to New York City where the pudgy bigtime gambler once held forth with the underworld elite.
 Deputy Attorney General Paul V Huckin will go to the metropolis to confer with Manhattan District Attorney Frank Hogan and Miles Mcdonald, prosecutor in Brooklyn
 Huckin also said he will visit an- other police agency, which he de- clined to name: to seek information about two expensive felt hats left in tn small restaurant where Nor etti was slain yesterday.
 The mems hats bore the name of a Brooklyn haberdasher and are believed to have belonged to two of the four men who ended Nor etti's life.
 Another angle which Huckln IS believed to be checking is possible tie-up between Morettis killing and the widely reported plot to buy off Harry Gross, kingpin Brooklyn bookie.
 Gross refusal to testify abruptly ended the case against 18 present and former New York City police men charged with being involved in Brooklyn's gambling scandal.

FLAGSTAFF, AriZ.-The Santa

When the railroad. which today

the south rim, it replaced stage
coaches which operated from Flag
staff and Anita Mine.
At that time, Sanata Fe inaugu-

In the 1880s a law existed al
lowing any one to locate a home
stead on 160 acres Of land in the
Canyon region. Two pioneers,
Capt. John Hance and P. D.
Berry. were the only two home
steaderS.
In 1897, Berry built the Grand
View Hotel. a log structure served
by a stagecoach from Flagstaff,
u miles away. The journey re-
quired IL hours and three changes
Of horses.
During the Gay Nineties, Santa
F'e Railway promoted travel to
Grand Canyons south rim by way
of Flagstaff and stage beyond,
utilizing Grand View Hotel and
the guide service of Capt. Hance.
First structures at the head of
Bright Angel Trail were erected
in 1892. and the Hotel Angel was
established there in 1900 as sub

road, which was taken over by the

Neither the cold nor mobiliza-

Local Action

WHAT we could do was to encourage the
people to act for themselves. Our hearings
brought church groups, civic organizations,
and private citizens together, and fostered
the organization of watchdog committees,
by focusing attention on an evil that all had
suspected but never tracked down.
That was more important than all the
perjury indictments, contempt citations,
and local statutes.
If there is a citizens crime commission in
your town, support it by volunteering your
time, money or effort - or at least by add
ing your voice to those of other indignant
citizens.
If no such committee exists, help your
Chamber of Commerce or some other civic
group to form one. As the number of watch
dog committees grows, the vicious ele-
ments in our population will find it harder
and harder to operate. Focusing the spot
light of public opinion is the surest way to
lick organized crime. The End

AS young Assistant States Attorney in

So loud were the peoples demands ior

other evils began to come to light: police
corruption, clogged court dockets and so on.

cute the killers, but also to clear the dock

law and law enforcement ever since - a
matter of 80 years. And know that what
breeds crime more than anything else is
public indifference. If top police official
is allowed to get by with graft, the officers
below him will do the same.
The people do care about these things.
But sometimes they don't know what to do.

showed that the ratio of jail sentences had
jumped to 16 per cent. Such is the power OF
public opinion!
A New York State committee investi-
gated waterfront racketeering and gambling
on Staten Island, and won Supreme Court
test of it's right to ask questions. A Phila-
delphia committee has been looking into
tie-ups between police and gamblers. A
New Jersey committee is studying the lille
gal narcotics traffic.
More citizens committees are at work
in Charleston, S. c., Tampa, Fla, Dallas,
Tex, Chicago, Cleveland. Baltimore, St.
Louis, and other cities. They are making
sure that we do not relax They are trying
to get action n0tO.
The peril is particularly grave in the mat
ter of narcotics. This is an area into which
the Committee was only beginning to delve
as its term ended The ugly facts about
addiction and dope peddling have only be-
gun to come to light.
Spotlight ON Crime
BIG-TIME criminals will gravitate to what
ever offers the most profit. Back when
was States Attorney in Maryland, the big
boys were highjacking. Later, after repeal,
they took over gambling. Now that the
public has awakened to this evil and the
horse parlors and game rooms are being shut
down, there is every reason to believe that
the vice lords have turned to the dope racket.
The best way to keep law-enforcement
agencies on the ball in the dope situation is
through watchdog committees. The public
will insist on controlling the dope traffic
when all its evils become known. Some OF
these were beginning to come to light
through the Committees hearings - girls
who turned to prostitution to support the
dope habit; addicts who had been lmpris-
oned but intended to go right back to dope
when they got OUT peddlers who regarded
selling dope as easy money. These and
other facts must be spotlighted till the pub
lie can't forget them.
peddlers I 20 years to life for adults found
guilty of furnishing narcotics to any person
under II. l believe that some such Federal
statute is needed "a kind of Lindbergh
Law for dope peddlers.
"Calculated Risk"
A TREASURY agent in Detroit told us that
when the Michigan legislature approved
more severe sentences for dope peddlers,
the price of narcotics went up, the quality
went down, and the crime rate fell off
noticeably. Thefts of checks from mail
boxes - common way for the addict to get
money for dope - dropped over so per cent.

of Narcotics, pointed out that l6-month
