Delaware region including the Gus
toms service of the whole river for
the Dutch West India Company.
Headquarters were at Fort Chris
tiana, renamed Altena, at the site
of Wilmington.
At Fort Athena, William Beck
man, ancestor of many distinguish
ed families in America, represented
the Dutch West India Company
and its government under Peter
Stuyvesant. He had a house there,
near the fort, where two of his
children were born; and also a
house at New Amstel, where he
stayed whenever a ships cargo
was to be inspected and duty col
lected. All ships, under whatever
flag, were required to stop at New
Amstel.
Under Dutch rule on the Della
ware, the first courts of justice, the
first public school, and the first
elements of self-government were
established on Delaware's soil.
When New Amstel became New
Castle under the English, the inde-
pendence of character born and
bred in the Dutch people continued
to influence life and government,
and formed part of the independ-
ent spirit among Delaware's people
that finally led to our becoming
the First State.
Dutch magistrates continued in
office in the English period; two of
them were attorneys for the Duke
'of York to convey the territory of
Delaware to William Penn, and
among the members of the general
assemblies under Penn that met at
New Castle, the capital of the
colony, were the early Dutch and
their descendants.
Among natives and other resi-
dents of Delaware today are many
descendants of the Dutch who were
founders and early settlers during
the Dutch period on the Delaware
and on the Hudson.
The New Castle Tercentenary
Commission was created by the
1949 General Assembly to plan a
celebration by which the people of
New Castle and the whole state
may pay fitting tribute to the
Dutch founders.
The Dutch embassy at Washing
ton, in the spirit of the long con-
tinuing friendship between the
Dutch and the American peoples,
is cooperating with the commits
sion in its plans. The commission
hopes that all agences and groups
within the state, official and un-
official, and individual citizens, will
be interested to have a share in
making the Dutch Tercentenary
celebration of 1851, an outstanding
tribute to the Dutch founders.

turns, the committee proposed a
series of laws making it more diff
cult for them to do business across
State lines.
The committee failed to reach a
final decision, however. on the
most controversial of these pro-
Iposals-how to eliminate the Ma
Ition-wide transmission of rapid
race results to the bookies with
out interfering with the lawful
dissemination of race news to the
press. =

In general, the committee said

Commission be required for any
person engaged in sending racing
news or betting information on
any sport event across State lines
FEC Could Deny Licenses.
The FEC. under this proposal,
would refuse licenses if the racing
information is intended for gam
bling. The applicant for a license
would have to identify the ulti-
mate user of the information and
could not hide behind the legal
facade of Intermediates. This is
intended as direct blow at the
continental Wire Service, which,
the committee reported. is con-
trolled by the Chicago crime SYM
dicate but has repeatedly con-
tended that it does not know its
wire service ultimately goes to

State lines.
The committee pointed out that
large bets are laid-off by tele-
phone or telegraph at the Nations
tracks to depress the pari-mutuel
odds and rob legitimate bettors of
their fair share of the winnings.
Small Bets Could Be Stopped.
The report acknowledged that
thousands Of small bets are made
over the telephone to bookies, but
proposed that State and local off,
cials' be responsible for eliminat-
ing them.
To make a clean sweep of gam
bling, the committee also pro-
posed that the ban on the inter-
state shipment of slot machines
now in effect should be extended
to punch-boards and other gam
bling devices. such as roulette
wheels.

tive and useful steps taken to
collect taxes from the criminal
element. 1t called for this squad
to work closely with the new
racket squad it proposed for the
Justice Department.
At the same time it demanded
that the Justice Department and
the Internal Revenue Bureau
streamline their procedures in tax
cases to get swift prosecution and
punishment of tax dodgers.
On the theory that money is
the key to power in the under
world" the committee proposed
these measures to wiring as much
tax money as possible out of the
underworld:
l. The Internal Revenue Bu-
reau should force the racketeers
to keep adequate books and rec
ords and, if they fail to do SO,
they should be punished for a
felony. At present this violation
is misdeameanor.
2. Illegal gambling casinos
should be required to keep daily
returns to be filed with the In
ternal Revenue Bureau. should be
compelled to keep a record of all
betting transactions and should
maintain books open to inspection
by tax officials at all times. The
committee said it was well aware
that these provisions may well
lput illegal gambling casinos out
iof business"
3. The laws should be changed
to prohibit gamblers from deduct
ing their betting losses or ex-
penses from their gross incomes
in computing tax returns. The
committee commented that this
Recommendation is best calculated
to stop organized professional
gambling
4. Any person who has made
more than $4,000 in an illegitimate
business during any of the previ-
Gus five years should be required
to file a statement of his net
worth along with his tax returns.
This was recommended as a
starting point for investigating
the tax returns of known GRIM
inals. 1

stances in different parts of the
country of lack of vigorous and
effective action to collect income
taxes from gangsters and rack
eteerS.
Major Question of Lawyers
Ethics Is Involved.
IS. A major question of legal
ethics has arisen in that there are
a number of lawyers in different
parts of the country whose rela-
tions to organized criminal gangs
and individual mobsters pas4 the
line of reasonable representation.
Such lawyers become true mouth
pieces" for the job. In individual
cases, they have become integral
parts of the criminal conspiracy
of their clients.
Is. Evidence of the inflltration
by organized criminals into legiti-
mate business has been found,
particularly in connection with the
sale and distribution of liquor. real
estate operations. night clubs. ho-
tells. automobile agencies. restau-
rants, taverns. cigarette-vending
companies. juke box concerns.
Ilaundries, the manufacture of
clothing and the transmission of
racing and sports news.
In some areas Of legitimate
activity. the committee has found
evidence of the use by gangsters
of the same methods of intimida-
ton and violence as are used to
secure monopolies in criminal en-
terprise. Gangster inf1ltration
into business also aggravates the
possibility of black markets during
a period of national emergency
such as we are now experiencing.
Racketeers also have used labor
unions as fronts to enable them to
exploit legitimate businessmen.
II. In some instances legiti-
mate businessmen have aided the
interests of the underworld by
awarding lucrative contracts to
gangsters and mobsters in return
for help in handling employees. de-
feating attempts at organization.
and in breaking strikes. And the
committee has had testimony
showing that unions are used in
the aid of racketeers and gang
sters, particularly on the New
York water front.

Crime Probers Urge TV Code
To Guard Citizens at Hearings

cations, our committee sees in tele-
vision a medium which raises
whole new or intensified issues Of
public policy insofar as the screen
ing of congressional activities are
concerned" it said.
1T is for that reason that the
committee feels that a code Of
congressional procedure should be
worked out so as, among other
things. to insure the continuing
dignity and maximum effective
ness of legislative proceedings
which might be televised as well
as to preserve the constitutional
rights Of citizens"
TV Industry Commended.
Two of the witnesses who re.
fused to talk for television were
identified as Morris Kleinman and
Louis Rothkopf Of the Cleveland
gambling syndicate.
These individuals were cited
for contempt for refusing to reply
to pertinent questions at a prop
erly constituted hearing of the
committee" the report said. 1T
was strongly felt by the commit
tee that their stated ground for
refusal to testify was actually a
Isubterfuge for a more cogent
reason"
Commencing the television in
dustry for its public spirit" the
committee said the broadcasts
were handled with dignity and
restraint.
No mention was made in the
report as to the committees fu.
ture plans for television, but one
of the members, Senator Tobey.
Republican, of New Hampshire.
has said that all future public
hearings of the group will be
televised.

wise"
Stronger Penalties Asked.
To cope with this. the commit.
tee urged legislation to increase
penalties against those in the drus
traffic with a mandatory punish.
ment of at least five years IL
prison for second offenders. TIL,
committee was told the averag,
prison term now is 18 months.
The committee also proposed
that passport visas be refused t.
individuals whose obvious purpose
is to meet others engaged in the
drug traffic in other countries OF
to arrange for the import of more
supplies of narcotics. The com.
mittee said this would prevent
meetings with Charles Lucky
Luciano. the deported vice king
who has often been suspected OF
keeping in touch with drug over
lords in this country through
their frequent visits to him in
Italy.
Recommendations to tighten
immigration laws were based or
these committee findings: Some
of the criminals who occupy key
positions in criminal gangs are
alien born. Some came into this
country illegally. Some have never
been naturalized. Others obtained
naturalization certificates by con-
Icealing their criminal activities. >
Perjury Provisions Emphasized.
The committee therefore recon-
mended passage of laws to facili-
tate deportation of criminals, to
revoke suspensions of deporta-
ton and to punish those who
|smuggle in or harbor aliens.
Several measures were proposed
to make it easier for prosecutors
to get necessary testimony and
to punish those who try to dodge
teStifying or lie when they take
the witness stand.

ported, these conclusions of great
import to be drawn from this
expose of the techniques of these
big betting commissioners in
transmitting their wagerS to
tracks:
Il. 1t has been advanced that
the major bookmaking syndicates
would be seriously hampered, II
not forced out of business, If the
practice were effectively fought,
either on local level, or by Fed
eral intervention"
80. The frequent, and in some
cases almost exclusive use Of the
channels Of interstate commerce
by the betting commissioners en-
tire operation. including the trans
mission and reception of the origi.
nal lay-off bets. messages, trans.
mission of money, brands the
practice as one which is some.
what insulated from attack by
local law enforcement and a pos.
sible fertile field for Federal help
in policing those channels of in.
terstate commerce"
Capone Mob Involved.
In a lengthy chapter on "the
role of the wire service in or
ganized crime" the committee re-
Ilates how members of the Capone
mob appear to have gained control
on Continental Press which has .
monopoly on the transmission Of
gambling news throughout the
country. Dummy" corporations
have been set up. the committee
contends, to filter Continental'a
|, service to local gambling rings.
Continental operators and coun-
lsel contended that the subdistrib-
Iuting companies are truly inde-
pendent and their actions are
their own.
"On its face" the committee
reported. this contention is all
most insulting and can be reject
ed out of hand. In every case
investigated by the committee the
purpose Of attempting to insulate
Continental Press was clearly
obvious.
"As an example. in the case Of
Howard Sports News. which oper-
ates out of Baltimore. and is one
of Continental's most fragrant
dummies, Continental wants to be
isolated because Howard Sports
News has for one Of its functions
the procurement of news from
most of the race tracks.
Neely Urges Inquiry Here.
by the admission of its man
ager and the assertion Of its
lawyers, Continental has been
very careful to divorce itself by
every legal maneuver from any
connection with activities as sor-
did as the stealing of news or
selling the same to bookmakers
who it cannot deny are engaged
in an illegitimate business"
