Boros Boosts
Colonial Lead
To ; Strokes

FORT WORTH, Tex, May
IL (AP). .-J julius BoroS moved
through the heat and wind
that wrecked the hopes Of most
Of his closest pursuers today
to take q S-stroke lead after 54
holes in the 100000 Colonial
National Invitation.
While favorite Jack Nicklaus
and others in the front ranks
floundered along a bogey trail,
Boros' putter again held UP
and he shot q 1-over-par II
for 208.
Doug Sanders sank q 5-foot
birdie putt on 10 for u and
second place with 211.
Boros birdied the first hole
when he came out Of q trap
to within 10 feet Of the pin
and sank the putt. He bogeyed
No. 8 when he overshot the
green and got another bogey
on z after q wild second shot.
He birdied II and 13, send
ing his tee shot close to the
pin on the latter and ramming
1t home for q deuce. He fall
tered to a bogey on 16 and
had another one on II but he
wound UP with q par on 18
when he sank q 4-foot putt
after rolling past the hole on
his first.
Tony Lena had o 73 for
third place at 213.
Five players, including Nick
laus, are in q tie for fourth
with 214. Nicklaus wound up
with a IA after brides on the
first two holes.

fered a shoulder injury a few
plays later and that took some
Of the deception out Of the
Free-Staters' attack.
1t was a 62-yard drive, with
Fishman carrying on 8 of IL
plays, that produced the Free
Staters' touchdown. Fishman
had bursts Of Is, II and l8
yards in the drive and powered
over from the one. Rookie Jim
Rowe's placement, which was to
be the decisive point, followed.
Quick Retaliation
The Old Liners got the touch
down back minutes later,
following a pass interference
penalty to the IA. Quarterback
Hank Lilly went over from a
yard out on a sneak, but Hank
Woitkowski's rollout run for a
two-point conversion failed.
Len Chiaverini, the ACES
leading rusher last season,
topped the losers with 80 yards
on 81 carries. Fishman's total
came on 26 attempts.

BOY SCOUTS OF TROOPS TAKE PART IN RALLY
AT SELLS WITH COUNCIL LEADERS AS SPEAKERS
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-09-22


The Attorney General made
the statement in an interview
with The Star when a reporter
noted a step-up in the number
Of political figures and local
law enforcement officers now
facing trial or recently con-
victed.
More Indictments Due
Mr.. Kennedy said Federal
authorities have a number of
other investigations of corrup-
ton now under way and I'VE
will have more indictments"
He is expected to go further
into the connection between
organized crime and corrupt
officials when he testifies as
the first witness Wednesday
before the Senate Investiga-
Itions Subcommittee in It's
planned inquiry into organized
crime.
The Senate hearings, with
mobSter Joseph Valachi as a
key witness, were originally
scheduled to start Tuesday, but
were postponed a day because
of the Senate's nuclear treaty
vote.
Valachi has been revealing to
Federal investigators the iden-
tity and activities of members
Of Cosa Nostra, the secret un-
derworld syndicate. Federal au-
thorities have noted that In
many parts of the country the
unerworld bosses and their
hirelings have operated with
comparative freedom from in
reference by law enforcement
A number of those named by
Valachi and FBI informants as
Cosa Nostra members have re-
Gently been prosecuted, how
ever, by Federal authorities.
Federal Agencies Act
Mr.. Kennedy said Federal
agencies wouldn't have to 60
after these mobsters If the To-
cal communities would or could
do 1t.
"As long as corruption OF
public officials exists" he said
"the local communities won't
be able to deal with organized
crime. That's why Federal In
vestigation and prosecution Is
helpful. If not necessary"
He pointed out that the ju-
risdiction Of the Federal Gov
eminent is drastically limited
compared with the authority
that State and local communi-
ties have to fight crime and
corruption.
In some communities, he said
people are too apathetic tt
bother, even though they know
the officials are corrupt.
The Federal Government
launches investigation Of loca

corruption when it's apparent
that an area is operating wide
open; when the Justice Depart
ment receives allegations Of
protection pay-offs; when con-
victed defendants agree to CO.
operate with the Government,
or when anonymous letters are
so specific that the tipsters OBJ
viously know the pay-off score.
Even if the Federal investi-
cation discloses brides, however,
the Justice Department can
only prosecute If a Federal law
has been violated. There is no
Federal law specifically appli-
cable to local corruption.
Local officials recently con-
victed or under indictment,
have been charged under Fed
eral law with income-tax eva
sion for failure to report sub
stantial pay-offs. Recently,
some have been indicted under
the Hobbs AntiRacketeering
Act where the case has ele-
ments of a shakedown. There
have also been indictments on
Federal perjury and mail fraud
charges.
Mayors Accused
Political figures indicted or
recently convicted range from
members of Congress to State
judges, from prosecutors to po-
lice chiefs.
The Mayor Of Gary, Ind, has
been convicted on income tax
charges, the Mayor of Streator,
H., has been charged under
the Hobbs misunderstanding
of Reading, Pa, has been in
dicted along with a gambler on
charges Of extorting money
from companies trying to sell
parking meters to the city.
The two members of Con-
greSS convicted in the drive on
corruption are Representative
Thomas F. johnson, Democrat
Of Maryland, and Representa-
tive Frank w. Boykin, Demo-
crat Of Alabama. Both await
sentencing on conspiracy and
conflict Of interest charges.
The States figuring in charg-
es against public officials, in
clude New York, Pennsylvania,
Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland,
Alabama, Missouri, Illinois and
Ohio.
Justice Department officials
said Investigations are now I'M
der way in a majority Of the
so States.
