Italian Police Back Move
To Return Luciano to u. S.

ROME, Aug. / (P.-A sugges-
ton that Charles Iucky) Luciano,
former New York vice lord, be re-
turned to the United States to
finish his jail sentence brought
mods of approval today from fed
up Italian police.
One top police source said "the
American Government sent him to
us. We didn't want him. They
had him in Sing Sing once and
he was supposed to remain there
for many years. Why did they
let him out?"
The suggestion that Luciano be
returned to jail was made to a
United States Senate crime inves-
tigation committee this week by
former Representative w. Kings
land Macy, Republican, of New
York.
Luciano, said to be the MASTER
mind of an international narcotics
ring, was paroled and deported to
Italy in 1946 after serving 91a
years of 50-year sentence for
pandering.
A reliable source here said some
SO men deported from the United
States to Italy on narcotics
charges form the core of far
flung narcotics smuggling net
work.
Luciano, who lives in second
rate Naples hotel when he is not
summing himself at Capri, has
labeled the dope accusations "a
lot of baloney."

OPS Investigates Reports
OF Meat Frauds in Illinois

The Office of Price Sterilization
today announced it is investigating
reports of fraud in the sale of meat
to State institutions in Illinois.
"Any evidence of sales at over
the-ceiling prices to any institu-
tion will be presented to the De-
partment of Justice for appro-
pirate action" an OPS spokesman
said.
The Federal investigation got
under way after reports reached
Washington that the State pur-
chasing office bought large guam
titles of meat at prices ranging
from 20 to 80 per cent above OPS
ceiling prices. Kickbacks to State
officials amounting to thousands of
dollars week were reported.
Federal investigators in Chicago
have not yet reported to Wash

chases or kickbacks, a spokesman
said.

Soviet bloc. Czechoslovakia has
openly declared it's intention of ad-
Iministering it's economy solely in

Igranted a special and guaranteed

Itenance of the General Agreement
on Tariffs and Trade as an instru-
Iment through which nations which
are in agreement on it's broad OBJ

States is of the view, therefore,
that in the interests of maintain
ing the integrity of the General
agreement on Tariffs and Trade in
its application to trade among ma

existing situation between the

At the end of today's session,
the U. N. communique announced: /:
THE basic views of both the
United Nations command and the
Communist delegation remained
unchanged"
Communist propagandiStS out
side the conference hall told U. N.
newsmen they thought a two or
three day recess might be proposed
to break the deadlock.
Earlier Solutions Found.
Twice before, when negotiators
reached an impasse, a solution
was found in a three-day recess.
The first such break came July
IL when the U. N. demanded that
the Reds withdraw their armed
guards and permit newsmen to
come in with the allied. party.
Talks resumed when the Reds
capitulated.
The second break was suggested
by the Reds. On July 81 they
asked for a recess to consult their
governments on the Communist
demand that the armistice provide
for withdrawal of foreign troops
from Korea. At the end Of the
recess they agreed to subsequent
negotiation of this point at a
higher level.
Red propagandists who Sug-
gested a recess might be profitable
were trying to create the impress
sion that the victorious North
Koreans" agreed to cease-flre
talks only because of their gen.
eTOuS nature.
Poster Says They Won.
They handed out propaganda
leaflets and posted placards. 1t
was the first time they had used
literature. One poster, printed in
Korean, read:
Though the North Korean Re-
public Army has emerged victo-
riouS against the American ag-
|gressors, our government and our
great leader, Kim II Sung, desires
and therefore our government has
agreed to talks about peace in this

; Seized in Dope Ring
Selling $4,000
Worth Each Week
By the Assoeiofsd Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-Three
men were accused today Of being
principals in a Nationwide mar
cotics ring making retail sales of
more than $42o, 900 a week.
Police said the ring, reported
as operating in all major cities of
the United States, is believed to be
linked to the mob of dope sellers
reputedly dominated by Charles
Oucky) Luciano.
The three were arrested last
night on the Lower East Side after
four weeks of undercover work by
rookie policemen and police
women.
Other Members at Large.
Capt. Peter Terranova, head Of
the police Narcotics Bureau, said
more operators linked to the same
gang were at large throughout the
Nation. He would not say whether
their identities were known to au-
thorities.
Charged with selling and pos
sesSing narcotics, were:
Peter Galente, 38, of Manhattan,
a Sing Sing prison parolee. said by
police to be the key man of the
three.
Alfred Vomero, 38, of Brooklyn,
nicknamed "Al the Cop"
Benjamin. Sekzer, 81, of Brook
lyn.
Shipped From Italy.
Capt. Terranova said Galente
received about 81 ounces Of pure
heroin from Italy each week for
$685. Galente cut the dope and
resold it to "puSherS" for $4,000,
Capt. Terranova said, and the
weekly shipment was worth $420,-
900 after further cuts before going
to the consumers.
Police did not say whether last
nights arrests had any connection
with the international narcotics
counterfeit money ring reported
smashed by Federal agents last
week end. Twelve persons were
arrested and held in a total of
$598,500 bail. United States Off
cials said the ring smuggled heroin
into this country with an under
world market value of $50 million
over a three-year period.
Linked to Luciano.
The international ring also was
linked by authorities to Luciano,
the deported New York vice king
now allegedly operating a dope
traffic from Italy.
Police who figured in last nights
arrests said II ounces of pure
heroin was seized in a lower East
Side apartment. Galente and
Vomero were arrested together as
the latter allegedly passed money
to Galente for a package. Sekzer
was arrested nearby a short time
later. Police said Investigators had
paid $430 for an ounce of heorin,
to use as evidence. The money
was recovered.
