conspiracy in what officials
can a major blow against or
ganized crime.
But, they warn, other links
between big-time boxing and
she underworld apparently
exist.
Carlo and four confederates
were convicted yesterday Of
trying to chisel into the earn
ngs of ex-welterweight cham
pion Don Jordan. They face
possible prison terms ranging
from Is to 125 years and fines
ofs$30, 900 to $4,000.
sThis case is unique in show
tng what happens when big
business and the underworld
team up," said Special Prose-
cutor Alvin N. Goldstein, a
former aide of New York Dis
trict Attorney Frank Hogan.
Sits up to society to do
something about it. If we stop
with this conviction, the prac-
tice will continue. There are
always people willing to step
in and take the places of those
who get caught"
The defendants were accused
Of trying to control Jordan's
contract by threatening physi-
eafharm to his manager, Don
Nesseth, and Jackie Leonard, a
Hollywood fight promoter.
Convicted with Carlo were
Frank (Blinky) Palermo, Phil
adelphia fight manager who
Aliegedly was Carbo's front
man; Truman Gibson, jr., head
Of the now defunct Interna-
tioAal Boxing Club, and Joe
Sica ard Louis Tom Dragna Of
Los Angeles.
The verdict by a jury of 10
women and two men climaxed
a three-month trial and a two
year investigation by Federal
authorities and Los Angeles
police into gangster-type in
vasion of professional boxing
Federal Judge Ernest A.
Tolin set sentencing for July 20.
The possible prison terms:
Palermo. 125 years; Carlo, IS;
Sica, As; Dragna and Gibson,
rs each.
The five were accused of
conspiring to violate the Hobbs
Act by using extortion in OBJ
struction of interstate COM
merce and conspiring to use
the telephone in interstate
commerce to communicate
threats. They also were charged
with individual acts relating
to the basic conspiracy charge
Leonard testified that in
1859 hoodlums beat him up
and set his house on fire. Gold
stein praised Leonard for
standing by his testimony in
the face of threats which he
still gets.
In Washington, Attorney
General Kennedy said Carbc

For a few strides it looked as
though he would have a diff
cult task to collar Pardao and
Dicta Drake. But PSidium had
the heart and the speed as the
colts raced up the slight hill
to the finish wire.
From a good start, Time
Creme settled down IN front
ahead of Supreme Verdict.
Moutiers, Dual. Pardao and
Patrick's Choice.
Lead Changes Hands
At the top of the hill, with
a mile to go, Patfick's Choice
took the lead from Bounteous.
Dual and Time Creme. Psi
dium at this point was far
back. Supreme Verdict moved
into second behind Patrick's
Choice with three-quarters Of
a mile left. Dual and Moutiers
still were in contention.
Supreme Verdict hit the
front as the horses rounded
the sharp Tattenham Corner
into the straightaway.
Two furlongS from nome, Ci-
priani went ahead. Dicta
Drake, Sovrango, Latin Lover,
PSidium and Pardao moved up
to challenge.
Then Dicta Drake. Pardao
and Psidium took over and
battled to the wire.
A throng of about 250,000, in
cluding Queen Elizabeth II and
other members of the royal
family, watched the famed
mile -and-a-half race under
perfect weather conditions. The
Queen, an ardent FAINT and
owner, did not have an entry
in the race.

This verdict will be a great
aid in taking further ac-
ton against the attempts of
racketeers to control boxing
and other sports" he said.
Goldstein said the case re-
Naled the true nature of an
underworld operation.
1T revealed an underworld
boss-Carbo-who had his lieu
tenant-Palermo-come to CAL
ifornia and call on two strong
arm men-Dragna and Sica

Palermo and Carlo had been
making on Leonard and Mes

HaIimi 10 Get
Return Match
With Caldwell

LONDON, May 81 CAP).-
Johnny Caldwell of Northern
Ireland, new holder of the
European version of the world
bantamweight boxing title,
agreed today to a return fight
with Frances Alphonse Halimi
in London next fall.
Promoter Jack Solomons an
nounced the bout will be at
London'S Wembley door
Stadium September 26 or Oc-
tober 81.
That was where Caldwell
took the title off Halimi with
a victory on points over Is
rounds last night.
If he beats Halimi again the
22-year-old IrShman will seek
a showdown match wit n
Brazil's Eder Jofre, recognized
as world champion by Latin
America and the United States
National Boxing Association
BY his victory Caldwell be-
came the first Briton in 10
years to hold world title, or
even a piece of one.
Cut Handicaps Frenchman
Caldwell, who made Halimi
his 22d straight victim, took
command when a cut was
opened over the champions eye
during an exchange early in
the eighth round. The cut bled
throughout the rest of the
fight. seriously handicapping
the Frenchman.
Hallmi'S manager, Philippe
Filippi, said the cut was the
turn in the fight. According to
his version, it came as the result
of butt from Caldwells head.
THE referee saw it and said
to Caldwell, Don't do it again,
Filippi said, but that's not
enough. Caldwell should have
been disqualified"
Caldwell, reigning British fly
weight king making his debut
as a bantanweight, pressed Ha-
limi successfully after opening
the two-inch cut, but ran into
trouble in the 14th round when
the bleeding Halimi bore in des-
perately seeking a knockout.
Rights Rock Caldwell
Two hard rights to Caldwell's
jaw forced the Irishman to
clinch and two solid lefts had
him in danger before he safely
backtracked out of trouble.
Then, in the 18th. Caldwell un-
leaShed a final furry that sent
Halimi down for the fights only
knockdown.
A right cross sent Halimi to
the canvas for the automatic
eight-count as Caldwell capped
the performance that made him
the first Briton to hold a world
title-or a part of it-since
Randy Turpin was middle
weight champ.
Caldwell. weighed 1l734 to
Halimi's 1852.

Estimate
For Holiday
BY the Associated Press

The Nations traffic death
toll for the New Years week
end, some $50 less than at

day to equal or surpass the
pre-holiday estimate Of $40.

Cling reports are expected to
raise that figure to $40 or more.

averting what safety experts
feared would be a record for a

374 traffic fatalities a year ago.
This New Year holiday also
was marred by scores Of other
accidental deaths, including SO
in fires and 78 in miscellaneous
mishaps for an overall total
of 482.
The totals compared to SO
fire deaths and 76 killed in
miscellaneous accidents a year
ago. The 1959-60 overall total
OF 513 is a record for a three
day New Year holiday.
In the Nations two major
winter holiday periods, Christ.
mas and New Year, accidents
have claimed the lives of more
than 1,100 persons. Included
were more than 800 killed ir
traffic accidents. counting 48s
Christmas week end. Fires
killed IT persons and 80 Others

CONSTANTINE BROWN
u. S. Change Over Procedure

general has become less Of q
partisan affair. Beginning
with the Franklin Roosevelt
administration and continu-
ing through Presidents Tru-
man and Eisenhower, the op-
position has been invited to
share in the conduct of for
eign policy and to take part
in the day-by-day formula
ton and implementation of
it.
Yet this is not enough, as
present developments indi-
cate all too well. Even though
the fact Of national unity is
reasonably well established.
even though the party poll
tics Of an election campaign
have been shown to be ended
when the national interest in
international relations is at
stake. there remains a doubt
and an unrest in the mind of
foreign statesmen as to the
real future course of the
United States in the new in
coming administration.
Although it is thoroughly
commendable that the Ken
nedy designees for the top
State Department posts have
had contacts with their op-
posite numbers now in office,
how much better it would be
If there were a systematic,
organized and constitution
ally-sanctioned procedure de-
signed to insure as much as
possible against doubt as to
the future? Such a set of pro-
visions would not hamper
the incoming Executive, but
would do much to allay doubt
among friends and foes.
