SELL IT — CLASSIFIEDS • Sen. Erwin Says: WASHINGTON — It has beei estimated that organized crime ha; an annual “take” of $30 billioi in this country. C rime Threat The Senate Rackets committe has been probing to determine thi extent of infiltration by the Mafir into organized labor and manage inent in the United States. As one who has heard the testimony before our committee, I am com pelled to say that organize : crime and the underworld syndicates have a virtual strangehold on some areas of the country, chiefly the larger cities. This poses a severe threat to society and the operatior of legitimate unions and business es. The purpose of the inquiry is to determine what legislation' i; needed. From the enormous amount of money made in narcotics and oth er illegal activities these gangs accumulate large sums of money which they use to buy into bus inesses to be used as fronts. They seek control of unions for the same purpose. The Mafia In dealing with the Mafia, a se cret organization of hoodlums and gangsters which originated in Sic ily, our committee has been strik ing at the bedrock of organized crime. Although other investiga tions by the Congress have been more in the headlines, I believe our work is making a significant contribution to the elimination of the criminal element in unions and management. It is encouraging that the Department of Justice is now beginning to move to arrest some of the hoodlums and gangs ters that appeared before our com mittee. But the problem must be placed on the doorsteps of the citizens of local communities and their of ficials. Unless the people are willing to demand that their auth orities charged with the elimina tion of crime take action, there can be no effective containment of the serious problem. The Mafia is one of the most difficult organizations to handle because it is a closed criminal gang of Sicilians. It apparently divides the country into regions for tis operations. Kvidence shows that the gang has invaded some labor unions and some businesses and operated with corrupt officials in instances by bribes, payoffs, extor tion, murder, intimidation and the whole scale of crime. The Mafia, according to testimony before our committee, had a convention in New York State last November. The list of gangsters and hood lums in attendance constituted the top hierarchy of crime in this coun try. Senator McClellan has stuck to these activities as they relate to the work of the committee in the labor or management field. Born to Mr. and Mrs. George C. Goodman of Swannanoa a daugh ter July 24 in Memorial Mission hospital. Mr. and Mrs. Willard Ray Dalton of Route 1 have a son born July 22 in St. Joseph’s hospital.
