Anthony StroIIo, Admiral
Of Prewor Gambling Ship

LAS VEGAS. Nev.. Aug. ! up.
Anthony Cornero Stralla, ex-
bootlegger and prewar gambling
ship admiral" dropped dead of
Ia heart attack yesterday while
shooting craps at a plush casino
hotel.
Even in death, Stralla--better
known as Tony Concrete
manned a controversial figure.
Deputy Coroner Bud Bodell said
he will investigate what he
termed concealment Of the gam
bler's death.
Mr.. Bodell declared Stralla
was dead before he hit the
floor" at the Desert Inn dice
table, but that the coroner's Of
fee was not notified until al
most four hours later.
Stralla, 81. was in Las Vegas
awaiting the opening of his Sc
million resort hotel. Stardust.
IA witness said the gambler had
dropped about $4,000 in the
dice game and suffered o heart
seizure after engaging in an ar
gument with q croupier.
Stralla was said to have made
81 million before he was 80 as
la bootlegger, but in 1929 he was
convicted of bootlegging liquor
and sentenced to two years in
Mcneil Island (Wash.) peniten-
tiary.
He later gained control of
gambling ships that anchored
OF the Southern California
coast and shuttled customers to
and fro in water taxis.
In 1899 Earl Warren. then
State attorney general and now
Chief Justice Of the United
States. vowed to "sink" the
gambling fleet.
The ensuing battle featured
bitter courtroom disputes and
water hose fights between
IStralla's sailors" and Coast
IGuardmen.
The acclaim Mr.. Warren re-
ceived from curbing the gam
bling feet was a factor in his
subsequent election as Califor-
mia Governor.
Stralla made another try with
a nautical casino in 1916. This
time the Federal Government
locked up his converted mine
layer Lux and it was eventually
strapped.
After that Stralla turned to
legitimate shipping and oper-
ated the Seven Seas Trading
