Full operations resumed this morning at the airport which had been forced to close when the' raging flames licked the edges of one runway and shrouded the area in dense smoke Tuesday.

Emergency nnieasures had been ordered to remove the town's 5,000 residents if the situation became worse.

Death of Action Jackson pats squeeze on Chicago's police EDITOR'S NOTE: Chicago, won an unhappy reputation for gangland violence in Proiiibition days, it experiencing a wave underworld sUyingt. following dispatch by vtfm-an UPl Chicago crime reperHr Robert T. Loughran, reports an underworld prcs- lurM behind latsst string of By ROBERT T. LOUGHRAN United Prcu International CHICAGO (UPD The death of a juiceman has put the squeeze on the Chicago Police Department.

The "iuieeman" was a 300- pound bully boy who bore the colorful nickname of Action Jackson. Jackson's job was to get the "juice" underworld lingo for usurious interest from delinquent patrons of gangland loan sharks. Last Aug. 12, the body of Action Jackson was found crammed into the trunk of his green Cadil lac convertible. As if in defiance of the police, the car had been parked for days beneath Chicago's Loop, on the lower level of Wacker Drive just across the Chicago River from the huge hulk of the Merchandise Mart.

Jackson was the llth victim of assassination in the Chicgo gang- style since last- November and the sixth in just two months. None of the killers have been found and Chicago's Police Department, still recovering from a "cops or robbers" scandal and a massive shakeup, has scant hopes that they will be. The citys tap detectives are more worried over the strong possibility that there were to be still more killings. They are fearful that assassinations have already occurred which they don't know about. They are not at all certain how to stop the gangster "rubouts" which once made Chicago a byword for street corner executions.

The latest string of Chicago Sang killings began last Nov. 15 when Michael Demarte, known to police as a bookmaker, got his. The victims who followed have ranged through the middle and lower echelons of the underworld. Gamblers, a narcotics pusher, a truck driver, a livery cab chauffeur, and at least four burglars Iwere cut down. Police have few but plenty of theories.

The theories are based on facts which fit to gather, including: of the victims were big shots. Some of them lived on the fringes of the underworld. Others had to hustle for their loot, turn ing their hand to crime offered a chance for'profit. Free lancers such as these can get into serious trouble by stepping over the jurisdictional bounds of the underworld. methods of murder varied.

Victims were burned, shot, beaten, knifed.and tortured. Jackson died of shock after what appeared to be a sadistic torture session. Yet most of them were found afterwards in their own cars, sometimes parked in the heart of the city. This new automotive style of killing, police said, has replaced the old gangster rides, sub machine guns and sawed off shotguns of Chicago's past. last six men to- die all appeared to have connections with the "juice" racket.

Detectives be lieve most of them were heavily in debt to underworld money leaders who charge 20 per cent a week interest and often take out life insurance policies on the lives of their clients. That way, a de faulting debtor is worth far more dead than alive to the "juicem.an" who lent him the money. Virgil Peterson, director of the Chicago Crime Commission, put his finger on the big difference between the Prohibition slaughter and the slayings of the 60's. "You don't see any leaders among these victims," he said If anything, it's a fight among the lower echelon of crime." Peterson and others pointed out that the old Chicago gang wars were fought by the lords of the underworld, with the loot ot a city as the prize. Nowadays, police theorists say, the victims are liq uidated for infractions of the rules laid down by the crime syndicate bosses or as revenge for poaching on forbidden territory.

Or else they are frantic victims of the 'juicemen" who pay the'price for not paying up. The fact that criminals were killing each other was small cond- fort to the police. They still had to solve the fiddle of who might be the next to bei found hunched over the wheel of his parked car, in two months rivalled the worst days of Al Capohe, Dion O'Banion, Bugsie Moran and the other satraps of the Chicago gangs bacic in the 1920's and early 30's, A white-haired directed the fight against the gang killers.

Wilson former dean of the department of criminology at the University of California who became superin tendent of the Chicago police year and a half ago with the assignment of modernizing and cleaning up a force which had been soiled by scandal.

Wilson has been, credited with success on most fronts, although he has severe critics within the police force. But the college dean is yet to come up with a formula for stopping murder. There have been no convictions and few arrests since the gang killings started.

The latest performance was the 'disclosure" bi Moscow this past weekend of so-called secret documents of the Central Treaty Organization (CENTO) on an atom death zone iii Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Among recent efforts has been an alleged secret British "eabiijet document" instructing the infiltra -j tion of anti-Cominunists into African trade unions. The paper was widely circulat cd and broadcast by Russia in an America to Europe flights for most transcontinental flights. The airport still serves a few scheduled stops and Canadian and U.S. Air Force planes.

McCarthy plans to elaborate on charges obvitfus effort to whip up anti- Western feelings in Africa. The British government strongly denied the authenticity of the paper and demanded that Russia withdraw the charge. Moscow ignored the request. Another example of Russian ingenuity was provided by the release through the Soviet embassy Loridon of a letter from "an American airman stationed in Britain," threatening to explode an, atom bomb off the British coast. It coincided conveniently with a Communist campaign against alert flights by U.

S. bombers. It appears that Moscow has al ready laid the groundwork for soine more "revelations" about alleged Allied plans to sow, even wider-atom death belts in Eu-j rope'and Asia. In releasing the alleged CENTO plans for th4 destruction of vast areas, bordering the southern frontiers, of Russia, Moscow nounced it had that similar plans also existed for NATO and SEATO. The move is, in the view of Soviet affairs experts, a clumsy attempt to intimidate the smaller nations in the West-sponsored fense alliances and to alarm tral' opinion against "wicked imperialist schemes" for BMclear warfare.
