court for boolmaking. This type of one-two
punch. pinning the racketeer between in
dictments from the federal government and
state authorities, is closing the trap around
hundreds of crooks never touched by local
authorities before.
As its final trump. the Racket Squad is
waging all-out war against officials in high
places whose protection" has long kept
many of the country's top gangsters out of
the hands of the law. Take away this pro-
lection" said Richard O'Hanlon, regional
co-ordinator of the Chicago Detroit area,
"and we've got the racketeers right out in
the open where we want them."
InMiam Beach Sheriff James A. Sullivan,
tied to the S & G syndicate by the Kefauver
Committee, has already been indicted for
tax evasion. In Philadelphia Magistrate
John ]. O'Malley, who was alleged to be con-
nected with the city's underworld. was con-
victed recently.
A Prosecusor Nailed
Mosr significant of all is the case of Wallace
S. De Puy. former Assistant Prosecutor of
Bergen County, NJ. Arespected lawyer, he
was charged during his term of office from
1944-5O with the investigation of such noto-
rious racketeers as Joe Adonis. James
Piggy Lynch and Salvatore Sally
Moretti. Yet strangely enough, little was
done to stop the operations of these under
world kingpins.
The Racket Squad charged De Puy with
income-tax evasion, and he pleaded guilty
and was convicted.
There is always the possibility, of course,
that the underworld may try to reach"
agents of the Racket Squad by bribery.
With some cases involving over million
dollars in additional taxes, smart hoodlums
might well offer fortune to any agent to
squash his report.
To begin with, the Racket Squads staff
comes from the cream of the Treasurys

of the largest Midwest lottery syndicates

his $27, 900 excise tax on the $4,000 busi-

Racket Squad laconically, I'm through.
You boys have run me out of business"
Last December, John and Willie Hoge,
two of the largest numbers operators in
Cleveland, paid up their $51 ,297 in addi-
tional income taxes. Willie is already behind

For the nations hoodlums this first years

of what is to come. The Squads offensive
is still gathering momentum. Hundreds of
new cases against some of the most
notorious racketeers in the country are
now ready to break. Hundreds of other
completed cases. held up by crowded court
calendars, are soon coming to trial.

With several matters yet to be
settled, the Assembly has thus far:
Unanimously voted to launch a
drive to raise two million dollars
for Negro Work - half for the
Church's only Negro college, Still
man and half for work through
the Board of Church Extensions
Division of Negro Work. Part of
the latter will be used to help es-

basis of the Church year, instead
of the present April to April year.
The new wear goes into effect Jan
uary, 1854.
Refused to go into the fire and
casualty business after year-long
study of proposal which would
have established non-profit
church-owned insurance agency to
insure local church properties. In
effect, this action refused any plan
that would compete with private
insurance companies.

NEW YORK, (GLOBAL)-What
BY LOU SWARZ

NEW YORK, (GLOBAL)-What
are you wearing this Summer
Nylon, Orion, Organdy, Crepe,
Seersucker, Silk, or just plain
bingham and cottons? No matter
what you wear, please be sure to
keep it fresh, clean and always
ready for wear, even those indies
and that foundation or there just
won't be any charm. Wrinkled,
spotty and soiled things do more
harm to milady than anything else.
Even though you are free from
"BO" there must be special care
given to keeping your wardrobe
fresh and clean. SO every time you
wear garment of any kind do
take a little time to check it for
all the necessary cleanliness angles.
Many women are going in for Ny
lon because it can be washed out
so quickly and does not need iron
ing or does it? In some cases
a slight press makes a nylOn gar
ment look better. Use your judg
ment, but be sure to look fresh
every time you step out because
charm requires that.
Wear the pastel shades as often
as you can, because they are so
lovely and in keeping with the
Spring and Summer seasons. Then
too, you will not have to wonder
how soiled your clothes are because
you can easily see. Some folks are
a little careless when it comes to
checking black, blue, or the darker
shades after each wearing for
freshness and cleanliness. Darker
clothes should be washed as often
as lighter ones, as all colors get
soiled after one wearing.
Charm means cleanliness &.
take it from Lou.
