DAILY CHRONIQE peKolb. Ill.no. Fndoy, July 14, 1972 Jack Anderson: Washington Merry-Go-Round -r-'I long-hair crowd refused to meet with Humphrey. Miami Beach's tall, dignified Mayor Chuck Hall, who got. along well himself with the wild bunch, urged Humphrey to sit down with them.

Humphrey's aides opposed the idea, but the happy warrior The wild ones, however, wouldn't talk with Humphrey. Democratic Finances The Democrats didn't raise enough money from their TV spectac- i the use strong-arm tactics, and illegal methods in their -business dealings. Footnote: Among the Denv ocrats staying at mob-linked hotels are the Nevada delegation, Eden Roc; Florida delegation, Deauville; Colorado and Hawaii delegations, Versailles, Iowa and Wisconsin delegations. Saxony, Montana delegation, Aztec. Democratic Doings psin Story A MjisMcsippi delegate came to Charles Evers, the Mississippi black leader, with a $1,700 offef from the McGovern forces to pay the bus fare of his poor but proud delegation, Evers told us.

"We've been begging peanuts" all these years," Evers advised the delegates, "and we aren't beholden to anyone -not tOfGeorge McGovern, Hubert Humphrey Or Shirley Chisholm, either. We'll pay our. own-way." McGovern aides denied that the national orga-. nization had offered Evers any money. They said the offer, if it was made, must have come from overzealous local McGovern supporters.

GOP Infiltrators Two top Republicans infiltrated the Democratic convention. They were GOP Vice Chairman Dick Herman and his top assistant, Jim Gale. We discovered them posing as service personnel. They explained they had come to inspect the security arrangements in preparation for their own convention in August. Humphrey Spurned Four years ago, the victorious Hubert Humphrey refused to meet with the hippies, yippies and zippies during the Chicago convention.

But, at this year's Miami Beach convention, the over from 1968. The party is now so broke, it may not be able to afford to type up the voluminous platform hearings. Open Land CHICAGO (UPI) -If you-long "for the pioneer, days, when a man could break the sod where no plow Jiad ever been before, cease dreaming -those days are still around.

It has been computed that between 5 million and 6.5 million square miles has been cultivated.

One unit works directly out of Miami on organized crime. The other, the mysterious Strike Force 18, operates out of Washington. Its racketbus- ters include not only Mafia experts but tax and securities specialists who are investigat-. Ing highly complex securities cranes, real estate frauds and corporate swindling. Our sources on the strike forces say every Mafia "fami ly" has representatives in the Miami area.

They are attracted here largely by the narcotics trade. The federal crackdown on the traditional Marseilles-New York smuggling route has caused the Mafia drug traffickers to open new routes through the Caribbean. Miami is now the main control point' It's no secret that crime lords and their reputed asso- i dates have a penchant for the' luxury hotel business. Records show, for example, that the fabulous Eden Roc and Deau-ville are partly owned by Sam Cohen and Morris Lansburgh who are awaiting trial, in an organized crime case. The government charges that the two famous innkeepers plotted with Mafia hoodlum Meyer Lansky to skim $14 million from the gambling take of a Las Vegas casino.

These criminal charges, however, haven't stopped the Democrats from using both the Deauville and Eden Roc as convention centers. The TV fund-raising spectacular was held at the Deauville, The youth and women's caucuses were scheduled there al- though the women's event was Wilbur Mills and Shirley Chisholm set up their presidential headquarters there. And the convention is-? sued press credentials out of the Eden-Roc Old Story Both Democratic and Republican leaders should have known about mob influence the beach hotels. The Miami Herald exposed the infiltration as far back -as 1967. Florida state authorities moved in 1969 to thow out therranagement of 19 hotels on grounds they of connected criminal societies an dare Mafia controlled." Vet my associate Les Whit-ten found the same manage- ment in at least 10 of the accused-hotels.

Spokesmen for each hotel denied any mob ties. Sam Cohen and Morris Lansburgh refused all comment But both have previously denied the criminal charges against them. Their offices ac- -knowledged that Cohen is owner of the Deauville and part owner of the Eden Roc. Lansburgh operates the Deauville and Saxony, is part owner of the Eden Roc and Versailles. John Tweedle, part owner of the Hawaiian Isle and other beach hostelries, conceded that ex-bootlegger Yiddie Bloom had a first mortgage on the Hawaiian Isle.

"1 got the hotel from Bloom and his associates, and they retained a mortgage on it," explained Tweedle. But he insisted that the Minneapolis crime figure has no voice in its management The- dazzling Aztec Motel and its sister hotel, the Kim-berly; were identified by Florida authorities as crime-connected. Meyer Lansky's brother Jake is known to be a stockholder. Bernie Bercuson, an executive of the Aztec-Kimberly complex, said Lansky has no control over the hotels. Bercuson also happens to be an executive of (the famous Singapore Motel where the old gambling piaster himself, Meyer Lansky, held court before he skipped the country.
