The American-born son of Italian immigrants was not an underworld leader then or later but he was high enough to know what was going on and had a record of arrests for robbery, extortion, burglary, gambling and narcotics going back to 1918. Sources here say this is what happened: In May 1959 two men were arrested in New York as they were about to deliver heroin to an undercover agent. The trail led from them to Valachi as the source of the dope. Genovese's Cell Mate Valachi was finally arrested in November 1959 and sentenced to 15 years in Atlanta, where for a time he was Genovese's cell mate. While Valachi was imprisoned federal narcotics agents broke an international narcotics ring; 24 persons were indicted including Valachi, and he received a 20-year sentence running concurrently with his earlier sentence.

Clayton and Son Funeral Home, Adelphia, Howell Township, is in charge of Hughes Hails New Housing For Elderly JACKSON TOWNSHIP f) -Gov. Richard J. Hughes hailed the nfltion's first federally-insured housing rental project for elderly rural citizens today as a significant step in social justice. "It Is my firm belief that government has a particular responsibility to promote the well-being of older citizens with social programs aimed at assuring their independence, dignity and security," Gov. Hughes said.

"All who have any part in this project can be proud of their achievement." The governor's remarks were prepared for the dedication of Pleasant Gardens, a project for persons living in rural areas. The project is backed by the Farmers Home Administration under a law passed by Congress last year. Portrays Project Gov. Hughes portrayed the Tleasant Gardens project as one more method of insuring freedom for the elderly. "From time to time," he said, "we hear vague and generalized statements from certain groups and political leaders warning of the threat of federal programs, such as the program which made possible the handsome project before us.

They would have you believe that such cooperation between the various levels of government are a threat to the freedom of Americans." "These same prophets of doom were warning us against social security 30 years ago. Seldom do they deal in specifics, and for good reason, because I doubt whether the fortunate elderly people taking up residence in Pleasant Gardens see any threat to their freedom in having this place in which to live." "Yet this project is the direct consequence of a program of the federal government which seeks to stimulate initiative and self-reliance in the rural communities of America so that the citizens of these communities will share in the good life that is possible for all." HOUSING From Paga 1 $35 to $75, based on income and the number of dependents. There are only four apartments set aside for elderly persons. The HA pays the borough 10 per cent of the total rents in lieu of property taxes. This has ranged from $1,200 to $1,500 a year.

Delivers Letter The Council of Churches delivered a letter to Mr. Baynton in May stating, "we feel there is just as great a need today as when these first units were built. "Because we feel the human questions of our neighbors must be answered we respectfully petition the mayor and council that they approve plans for additional units of low cost housing," he added. The letter was signed by the Eev. W.

Gordon Lowden, pastor of the Red Bank Methodist Church, and social action chairman of the council. Mr. O'Hern said one concern is that a qualified resident here would move into public units. Their vacated private quarters then would be filled by needy people moving into the borough. "Instead of just caring for Red Bank citizens, we would assume the job of caring for outside citizens," he said.

Harold Coddington of the local welfare office, said most welfare given here is in the "emergency assistance" category. Whenever possible, long-term cases are turned over to the county. Although one family has been receiving local aid for more than two years, he said, the average case length is four months.

Osborne said. She recently tracked down an escaped mental patient in Connecticut in 20 minutes after a search party had hunted for hours. "How well she works here will depend on how she takes to us," Mr. Osborne said. "But she seemed very willing to leave Connecticut and come with us.

She jumped right into our station wagon and seemed nonchalant about the whole thing." Lady was given up by the Connecticut State Police when they decided to reduce the number of bloodhounds in their kennels and replace them with German Shepherds for patrol and attack work. Dogs are used extensively by New England police agencies. Bought Homer as Pup Mr. Osborne became interested in bloodhounds through Mr. Cagney, who bought Homer for $125 when he was a pup.

Three-year-old Homer has figured prominently in search parties in Ocean County and elsewhere in the state for 2'i years. Mr. Cagney said Homer averages about three searches a month. Mr. Cagney said he thinks Homer was the only trained track- ing bloodhound in the state until Lady's arrival Friday.

Soon afterward he realized he had made a mistake and sent for a narcotics agent who had ques tioned him during the narcotics investigation. He wanted to tell what had happened and soon began volunteering what he knew about organized crime in order to extricate himself from the killing.

Hustled Out Soon a veteran FBI agent was assigned full time to questioning Valachi, who meanwhile, pleaded guilty to the murder of his fellow convict and was sentenced to life imprisonment. Valachi was then hustled out of Atlanta. The detailed questioning continued. Among other things sources say Valachi gave this picture of Cosa Nostra's organization: At the top is a ruling council known as the "commission." Gen-ovese is supposed to still be its chief even though he is in prison. Members of the commission are known as "bosses" or heads of crime "families" in cities across the nation.

The "families" control organized crime in their areas and the individual mobs within the families pay part of their profts from narcotics, gambling, and vice to the families.
