He smiled at Russell E. Parsons, a defense lawyer who has been his closest confidant throughout the trial, and whispered to him.

Judge and jury came in a few minutes later. "Ladies and gentlemen have you reached a verdict?" asked the 69-year-old judge. All Answer Yes "We have your honor," said Bruce D.

"However, if we can levy fines on their real estate corpo damages against their trucking firms and banks, if we can seize the liquor in their warehouses, I think we can strike a critical blow at the organized crime conspiracy," Nixon contended. Nixon hit hard during his presidential campaign on the issues of violence, illegal gambling and organized crime's infiltration of legitimate business. And he called the nation-'s booming crime rate "a great national disaster." While the federal effort Road Project (Continued irom Page 1) ty includes acquisition of right of way for Route EE in.

"There is a momentum for change," Mills said. "I want us to act while this momentum exists, while taxpayers still rem- ber what they paid on April 15."

Noting that not one of the 24 Cosa Nostra families has been destroyed, he said they are in fact stronger than ever. "It is vitally important that Americans see this alien organization for what it really is--a totalitarian and closed society operating within an open and democratic one," he said.

Nixon recalled he already has authorized the attorney general to use wiretapping in investigating organized racketeers and has requested a fiscal 1970 appropriation of $300 million to upgrade state and local enforcement programs. He said a substantial part of the aid would be used to fight organized crime. New York City came in for special attention in his message. Nixon said about 5,000 persons are members of the Cosa Nostra, divided into 24 "families" 30. and the treasury is including it in the basic study Nixon has asked to be completed by Nov.
