8. A Democratic alderman from
the 2Sth ward where Jim Martin,
recently ambushed westside policy
car, operated as a political leader
announced that he would not be a
candidate for reelection. II is
rumored that pressure from hoods
has forced him out,
The above activities are the
aftermath of the recent crime
hearings by the senate's Kefauver
committee. At hearings here, Ed
Jones, long a policy baron in Chi
cago, now living in Mexico, and
Theodore Roe, revealed much of
the story of the numbers game
here.
Both men were arrested by
the local states attorney on the
basis Of what they told the fed
eral group. Two white policy
kings who refused to talk es-
capped arrest by the local gov
eminent forces. Jones and Roe
are now out on bail.
In order to carry out more fully
the battle against the policy men,
the states attorney has subpoe-
naed their final records from Doty
and Doty certified public ac-
countants who audit Jones books.
Speaking for the policy bust
ness, Harry s. Ditchburne, attor-
ney, filed a petition to quash the
governments action. Judge Frank
NJ. Padden, chief justice of the
Criminal court, continued the
hearing until Jan. 4.
In the meantime the federal
government has followed up its
hearings with a survey of the
bank books for the Jones opera
ton to be made by a grand jury.
The records will be photographed,
then the grand jury will study
them.
Jones and Roe will face trial
Jan. 20 on charges Of gambling
and conspiracy. II found guilty,
they will be subject to is years
in prison.
Most of the talk here this past
week, however, has been in con-
nection with Jim Martin and his
good friend, Aid. George d. Kells
of the 2sth ward.
The shooting stage of this
story started little more than a
month ago when unidentified
hoods tried to shoot down Martin
as he was driving home. Since
then, Martin has closed down his
famous Corner" tavern, and left
the city TO places unknown, but
suspected to be Mexico or South
America.
Before then, in what appeared
to be a disconnected action, Aid.
Kells in his campaign for presi-
dent of the county commission be-
came an indirect victim of hood
lum attacks. They ruined many
of his political posters, and at
tackled or threatened a number of
his precinct captains.
While on the west side, Martin
had controlled an estimated 49,
900 Negro votes for Kell's bene-
fit, and he also was said TO run
the policy game. The 28th ward
now contains a large number of
Italians as well as Negroes.
1t is said that anti-KeII acti.
witty Is part Of an overall pro-
gram Of the sO-called national
crime syndicate TO take over the
lucrative policy racket, at one
time run by Negroes.
Kells. long a Democrat power
in Chicago, startled the city by
that he will not seek
reelection. He is well known as
one of the city's liberals, espec-
tally on the civil rights front.

Station WEIRD, the first Negro

records by Negro artists in he
Greater Atlanta area, according to
reports of a survey recently con-
Quoted here.
In the survey, distributors, re-
tail houses, coin machine oper-
atOrs, and others were asked what
effect has the nations constant
plugging tunes by Negro artists
had on the record and in-person
appearances. In all instances, the
answer was that the station had
boosted business tremendously.
Before the advent of the one
year old station, only two radio
outlets out of nine played record
ings by Negro artists for an hour
daily. With Station WEIRD, its
seven-man disc jockey team spins
the same records all through the
day. Even dance promoters have
credited the situation with in
creasing box office sales when
they present Negro talent in per-
son.
