On May 7 a New York county grand jury, in Investigating that attempted murder, asked him questions about that "casino wins" memorandum. Costello refused to answer and was found In contempt and sentenced to 30 davs. Raised $2,225,000.

Kastel, often considered Cos-'. tello's right arm outside of New York, raised $2,225,000 to take cover the Tropicana and among those he talked into investing, according to official Nevada records, was Morton Downey, i to hold a 5 per cent In-' terest. District Attorney Hogan said i that the Tropicana was built by Ben Jaffe, reportedly a part owner of the Fontainebleau hotel in Miami Beach. Jaffe, also as the head of a Hammond (Ind.)

While Kastel's name never Appeared on any of the transactions, the prosecutor continued, the ex-convict got the lease to run the Tropicana by putting up a $1,000,000 deposit 'and agreeing to pay Bond Estates $100,000 a month.

He used a front man whose name has never been given out. Nevada Board U'atchinp. The Nevada State Gaming Control Board got word of all this and forced Kastel out even before a gambling license was applied for. It finally was granted last March 20, but Rob-bins Cahill, a member the three-man control board, said yesterday, when reached by telephone In Las Vegas, "We're damn right still looking to se (if Kastel or Costello still has a 'piece of the hotel and casino."

The National Science Foundation reports that In the 1953-'54 school year some 34,000 foreign students studied in American institutions. It said this was "equal to the combined enroll-' ment of foreign students In all universities of western Europe," MAKE DAD A HAPPY FELLA i with PRE-SMOKED rabow 5 i which 30 years ago "attracted three times as many foreign students as those in the United States." By 1955-'56, the foundation added, foreign enrollment In United States schools had risen to 36,000.

Slightly more than one third of these students were doing graduate work. Before 1946 there never were mo 'e 10,000 foreign jtudents here, and of hese only about one-fourth were graduate students. On the other hand, said the foundation, almost all the approximately 900 Americans studying in foreign institutions in I955-'56 were at the graduate 'olevel.
