For 70 Suspended in
Maryland Panty Raids

The 20 University of Maryland
men students suspended for their
part in last weeks panty raids
may be eligible for the draft, ac-
cording to Col. Henry c. Stan
wood, Maryland Selective Service
director.
Col. Stanwood said yesterday he
is writing to university officials to
ask whether local draft boards are
being notified of the suspensions.
He noted, however, that the stu
dent himself is required by law to
notify draft officials of any change
in his status.
Col. Stanwood said he did not
know how many of the suspended
students may have obtained draft
deferments because of their col
lege status.
Final decision as to whether
the students are drafted is up to
the local boards, the director was
quoted by the Associated Press.
Four co-eds also have been sus-
lpended by university officials, who
are continuing their investigation
of the raids by some 400 men
students on four girls dormitories
and two sorority houses May 81.
The co-eds were in a group of
20 girls who tried an unsuccessful
counterattack on a mems dormi-
tory.

suspended have been disclosed.

Senator Butler, Republican Of

political dictator of the State"
A supporter of Senator Taft Of
Ohio for the Republican presi-

Commissioner Egan said PHA

housing group is unable to meet
the qualifications, PHA will pro-
coed with the towns sale through
some other means.
"Greenbelt definitely will be sold
even if the sale is opened to public
bidding" Mr.. Egan asserted.
Public Law IS authorized the
sale of Greenbelt and two other
Green" towns built early during
the administration of the late
President Roosevelt. One COM
|munity, near Cincinnati, was sold
to a cooperative group in jan
uary, 1850. The second, near Mil
waukee, is in the process now of
being sold to individuals and will
be closed out shortly, the PHA
commissioner announced. He said
PHA had wished to dispose of
Greenbelt during the current fiscal
year and now that it can't, wants
to do so as soon as possible.
Hits at Small Minority.
Councilman ComingS said he
objected to the co-operative's
"organizational structure" be-
cause he believed it represents
"a small minority trying to take

Department accountant claimed
he was not alone in opposing the
housing corporation. He said his
sentiments also have been ex-
pressed by the three other Green
belt town councilman as well as
"a majority of the people"
/ Mr.. Comings said he had di-
rected circulation of two petitions

controversy over the impending
sale of Greenbelt, Md, waged on
today as the deadline neared for
meeting initial requirements of the
Public Housing Administration.
There were at least three new
developments in the battle over
whether the Greenbelt Veterans
Housing Corp. should be the pur-
chaser of the 1,890-unit Federal
housing development.
/. Michael H. Salzman, presi-
dent of the corporation. revealed
that the cooperative had re-
quested another time extension
past tomorrow's deadline for obs
tanning 500 deposits from 800 oil
its members. The money must be
obtained to qualify the corporation
to purchase the town for $8.9
million.
Decision Possible Monday.
2. John Taylor Egan, COM
missioner for the Public Housing
Administration, said PHA has
taken no action yet on the request,
but added he was inclined" to
give the corporation zone more
chance" to make good its effort
to buy the town. A decision. may
be reached Monday. he said.
3. Steve L. Comings, Greenbelt
town councilman who is a leader
among residents opposing its sale
to the housing group, charged
those putting up deposits were
forced to do so to protect them
selves for the future" He said
Ihe, too, would make the deposit
even though he opposes the "or-
lganizational structure" Of the
co-operative.

Met 18 Months Ago.
The color girl for 1852 is the
first resident of Baltimore to be
chosen in the last 80 years. Miss
Kidd was the 10th girl selected
for the annual festivities. She
met Midshipman Burgin at a tea
dance in Annapolis some 18
months ago.
Soon after the two became ac-
|quainted, Midshipman Burgin's
outfit realized that the lieutenant
was out to put the 18th Company
at top of the list.
The company had won last year
under command of Midshipman
(now ensign James A. Winnefeld
of Kansas City, Mo.
1t was no surprise to the bri-
gade when Vice Admiral Harry

announced yesterday that No. IL

Traditional Kiss.
This years color girl ceremony
is scheduled for $50 pm. Thurs

honor of transferring the Stars

In the middle of a full-dress
parade on Worden Field, Mis-.
Kidd must bestow a kiss on the
commander of the winning com.
pany. The annual kisses date
back to 1871. and no top com.
pany commander can be denied

This exchange is followed by
three cheers from the entire bri.

D.C.'s gamblers, and dozens of others.
All told, the Racket Squads offensive
against the underworld for the first year has
indicted 385 of the most notorious racketeers
m the country and convicted 218 of them.
What makes the Racket Squad so effective
is the very indirectness of its methods For
ironically enough, it has nabbed hundreds of
racketeers, gamblers and extortionists be-
cause they evaded or defrauded on their
income taxes.
In tracking down these racketeers for
evasion. the Racket Squad has, in its
first fiscal year, collected the staggering
total of s95, ,l5O, ,224 in additional taxes
and penalties i'm Is, 100 cases.
But at the very time it is collecting these
taxes. the Racket Squad is putting behind
bars hundreds of hoodlums who had never
been touched by the law before
The pattern of this offensive goes back to
1888. 1t was used first against AL Capone, one

Guilty Of murder, massacre and every known
crime in the book. Capone had eluded the law
for years until Treasury agents finally found
the one chink in his armor - income-tax
evasion and slapped the famous gang king
into jail.
Since then, the same technique has been
used on hit-or-miss basis against a few
especially notorious racketeers. But never
consistently. Never in concentrated,
national offensive.
An0ut Offensive Launched
HEN the Kefauver investigation last wear
suddenly reused the country to the enormity
OF the network of organized crime that ran
from coast to coast. For the first time we
began to search for powerful and immediate
weapon to check this dangerous national
scandal.
Only then did the Treasury Department
realize the potentialities Of this little-used
weapon. If al Capone could be tracked down
and imprisoned on tax evasion. why not turn
the same technique against every hoodlum
in the country?
The result was that in April. 1851, Secretary
Of the Treasury John W. Snyder ordered John
B. Dunlap, later appointed Commissioner of
Internal Revenue, to organize special Racket
Squad and launch an all-out offensive against

THE big offensive against the gamblers,
Il dope peddlers, slot-machine operators and
racketeers, whose organized syndicates stretch
from coast to coast, is here at last.
For over year it has been quietly rounding
up hundreds of underworld kingpjns = cases
you've seen in the headlines, some within the
last few weeks The offensive has been using
unique methods, startlingly simple, and COM
pletely different from those of any other law
enforcement, agency. Although the attack is
not aimed at the rackets themselves, amaz-
ingly enough some of the biggest racketeers in
the country are being driven out of business
and put behind bars. This offensive is the
one, concrete hope we have today of breaking
the back of organized crime in America.
In the St. Paul, Mimi, federal court last
May, this new attack finally nailed Thomas
w. Banks, one of the most notorious racket
eers in the Middle West. Grim, poker-faced
Tommy" Banks had run huge bootlegging
empire during Prohibition days. More recent

ly he had bossed Minneapolis No. gambling
syndicate and owned major slice of $50
other underworld enterprises.
Yet Banks had never been touched by the
law. never been arrested by the Minneapolis
police = until this new offensive with its
peculiarly special methods caught up with
him.
Taxes Get Hism
ON MAY 80, Banks stood before Federal
Judge Robert c. Bell and was sentenced to
Jail for three years and fined $4,000. His con-
viction had come after all these years, not
because of hi: arrest as gambler or operator
of $50 underworld enterprises, but because the
Special Tax Fraud Drive, known as the
Racket Squad, of the Treasury Department
had finally nabbed him for tax evasion.
In one short year since its organization, the
Racket Squad has tracked down some of the
biggest names in the underworld Mickey
