Mr.. Siragusa, of Sicilian de-
scent himself, was the top
United States narcotics agent.
in Europe for eight years. AL
though his headquarters was in
Rome, he ranged the continent
studying the illicit dope trade,
particularly the Malta, and
helped crack several interna-
tional dope rings.
His "in-service" training in
the activities of the Malta has
convinced him there is no one
Mana chieftain or leader.
But Lucky Luciano, deported
United States ganglord now liv-
ing in splendor in Italy with
no visible means of support, "iS
a very important power in the
organization"
THE Mafla's major criminal
operation has indeed been
transplanted to the United
States" he said. But it has
agents and subordinates in
many countries where it OBJ
tains narcotics and in countries
the dope must pass through on
its way to the United States"
He said the recent conclave
Of notorious gangsters in up
state New York" which was
broken up by narcotics agents,
was tangible evidence of the
power of this organization"
THE best we can hope to do
is keep them under close sur
veillance and make as many
arrests as possible" he said.
"The chances of stamping the
Maf1a out completely are pretty

An example Of international
cooperation between Interpol

At the immigration building,

The United States does not

To aid in the prevention of

that the Better Business Bureau

Mr.. Kintner said that dur

But he said that after a meet

reached to clean UP the prac-

Because Washington is the
Capital of the country, and so
many diplomats live here, "the

Mr.. Kintner said that "the

Station WNTA-TV Sunday
night because it gave him "a
platform from which to prop

This was a service to the
Communists" said Walter
Floersheimer, a partner in the
firm.
He said the station failed
to heed an ultimatum from the
firm that unless Its objections
were made clear during the
show, the firm would drop its
two-year sponsorship Of the
program.
No mention was made Of the
firm during the show. nor were
any commercials for it used.
Instead, the advertising breaks
were given over to anti Com
munist public service an
nouncements about Radio Free
Europe.
Il believe Khrushchev gave a
wonderful performance for his
side" Mr.. Floersheimer said. He
said he didn't think that David
Susskind, the interviewer on the
program. was enough Of a pol

He said the firm has spon-
sored the discussion program
in the past because I'VE believe
that all sides Of issues affecting
the public should be argued and
evaluated." but he added:
THE Khrushchev appearance
had nothing to do with free
speech. :. I saw the program
and 1t was a one-way affair"
Asked what he thought about
the anti Communist announce
ments made at station breaks
during the show. he said: "It
was like giving time for Nixon

didn't say how to clean it,

Warm the oil mot over

it into the wood generously.
Let it soak in over night and
wipe off the excess in the

smooth golden patina to
maple wood. 1t will resist
most any stain and food will
wipe off easily after daily

With new wood, this

it with cleansing pads. rinse
well, dry and then use the

More stringent written exam
nations for District driving
permits will be given beginning
Monday, officials said today.
The new test will include
seven questions on the general
attitude of the applicant to-
wards driving.
Any applicant who fails to
give correct answers to two or
more of the seven questions
will have to attend the police
departments traffic school be-
fore he can again apply for a
permit.
An example of the true or
false attitude questions, ac-
cording to George England, di-
rector of the Department of
Motor Vehicles, is: Going to
sleep at the wheel excuses a
driver who has an accident?"
Mr.. England said the new
tests also will include sitter
questions on driving rules and
more of them.
The present exams carry IS
such questions and the new
ones will have 20, he said. City
officials hope that the tougher
exams will result in a reduc-
ton of accidents through elm
ination of unfit motorists.

RIG ND, Feb. Is. -
Legislation allowing localities
to require real estate statesmen
and brokers to post higher
bonds before they can practice,
was in the General Assembly
today.
Arlington Delegate William
L. Winston Joined Delegate
David E. Satterf1eld of Rich
mond in sponsoring two bills be-
fore the Legislature adjourned
for the week end yesterday.
One bill would allow local
governing bodies to raise the
bond requirements for real es-
tate statesmen from $1,000 to
$4,000 and for brokers, from
$4,000 to $4,000.
A second bill would establish
qualifications for real estate
brokers. AS a condition for OBJ
tanning a brokers' license, the
bill would require each appli-
cant to have served as a full
time salesman for at least one
year under supervision of a
licensed broker.
In other developments:
The House passed and sent
to the Senate bill by the Ar
lington delegation allowing the
Arlington County Board to pre-
scribe conditions under which
persons less then 18 years of
age could operate motor We
hicleS in that county.
The House also passed a bill,
by vote of So to Is, to regulate
BARRIERS. Virginia is the only
State that does not have such
regulations. according to the
patron, Delegate Lewis A. Nc
Murran of Newport News
Inc Senate passed and sent
to the Governor a bill drawn by
Delegate Stanley A. Owens of
Manassas. 1t would allow coun-
ties to tax residents of sanitary
districts for special police pro-
lection services within those
districts without imposing the
cost on taxpayers elsewhere in
the county.
Two bills went into the House
yesterday providing for the
sterilization of women bearing
illigitimate children and for
persons likely to have mentally
deficient offspring.
The 10 sponsors of the bill
include four medical doctors
who are members of the House.
A local eugenics board would
be appointed by the Circuit
Court to rule on persons who
are not inmates of State mem

tai institutions but do have a
hereditary mental illness. A
local welfare superintendent
could apply to the board ask
ing for sterilization.
The second measure would
allow the welfare superintend-
ent to apply to a Circuit Court
for sterilization of a woman
bearing a second illegitimate
child who is likely to become
public charge.
Both bills would prohibit
sterilization if it interfered
with the health of the indi-
vidual.
A bill also was introduced in
the Maryland General Assem-
bly, yesterday providing for
sterilization of women after
they have two illegitimate
children.
Inc Senate passed and sent
to the House a bill by Senator
Robert Y. Button of Culpeper,
requiring State health depart
ment regulation of catering
services.
The bill grew out of an Incl
dent in Orange County last
summer. About 60 persons
suffered the effects of food
poisoning and were given med
ical attention at a picnic spon-
sored by the publisher of a
weekly newspaper.

Liquor Store, $50 Bladensburg

period ending January /.
United States Commissioner
James F. Splain placed Jones

Mr.. Rose was advised by his
accountant that a $4,000

VINO scheduled lie detector
tests for all employees. He in
cluded Jones even though Mr..
Rose protested that Jones
never could do anything like
that, according to police.
When Jones appeared fol-
the test he told Mr.. FUR he
didn't need to take it and made
a statement concerning the
ENLIGHTENMENT, police said.
Police said Jones was able
to take the money by jockeying
receipts on the books and the
cash register.
Mr.. Furr's statement said
Jones told him he failed to
report the matter to his en-
ployer because Mr.. Rose had
been so good to him.
