of Yonkers, who is also fourth vice president of the big international union. During the trial It was testified that Bove was the one who awarded Nuzzo jurisdiction over the work on the West shore and that Nuzzo told his recording secretary he was sending regular payments to Rove as his cut of the revenues from the stiffs, In return for granting him the shake-down rights on the West shore. Nuzzo also testified that Hove supervised his accounts and suspended membership meetings of his, Nuzzo local, in 1937 for two years because the meetings were becoming disorderly. The disorder was caused by demands of the members for an accounting of their money.

Interest is limited to six per cent except in special cases, and premiums of life insurance policies up to $10,000 will be guaranteed by the Government to prevent lapses during service and for two years thereafter. There are many other new provisions in the law. and draftees now get many types of relief from the time they receive an order to report for induction.

Producers might call it downright subversive. Big stars, deciding it would be folly to make more than one or two pictures apiece during 19 4 3 on account of the salary ceiling, are talking of naming their own poison. One glamor girl who is a star because nothing ever looked prettier in a bathing suit, goes so far as to announce privately that he no more flitffy-duffy leg stuff for her.

No siree. This is war, she says. From now on. she wratits to do pictures with Two handsome male heartbeats are talking of becoming their own producers. This is an old.

familiar situation in Hollywood but it has never before been in such mass production as will be the case in 1043. The results should be Interesting. For some reason, stars never seem to know what got that made them stars, nor how to capitalize on that quality, nor do they have much of an idea what makes a good picture. RAFT WAS RIGHT We will hand it to George Haft, though. George has been suspended more often by his studio than any other star the business has ever all because he absolutely refused to do certain pictures.

Once he refused so absolutely that he hauled off and knocked the producer cold right on the set. The picture was Story of Temple Drake." and George konked the producer because the producer wanted him to say something callous while standing beside his grave. And we recall a feminine star, whom we shall not name, who always insisted on approving her scripts. The writers knew that no matter how good the script was. she would always part of it just on general principles.

This created all kinds of confusion until a writer came along with a cunning way of thwarting her editorial mayhem. He would write into the script some dummy scenes for her to kill. Oddly she always picked the I dummies to red pencil, and this satisfied everyone. 9 THEY GET TOO GOOD It is interesting, too. to consider I the careers of those mummers who have been acclaimed as gen- iuses.

Application of this word i usually seems to wreck the career. We like to think the reason for this is that once an actor has been acclaimed as a genius, he starts believing it. and either gets so terrified that lie loses all confidence in himself, or aims so high i that his work is over I head, including his own. Charley Chaplin was a genius because his work had the lnno- i coney of a child. And in those I days he made two pictures a month.

Suit the critics informed I him that he was a genius, he been able to make one picture every two years. And the 1 Innoeency has given way to deni- agoguery.

The Washington Merry-Go-Round BY DREW PEARSON Washington When handcuffed Basil Banghart, chief hatchet-man for the gang, was riding to the Chicago police sta- er, the super G-man asked him: ed a name, then corrected wasn't either one of them. Pearson You know, he smiled at Hoover, been in so many jugs I just remember who the wardens were Then Banghart volunteered this information: know, Boss, there are two kinds of wardens.

There are the guys who want to watch every detail in the place and do everything themselves, and because a a big institution. Then the warden who sticks his chest out, walks around and leaves everything to others. Neither one is any And he added that there wasn't any jail any place that a man get out of. Banghart might also have said that in a good many jails It necessary to break out; a convict co Id let a lenient parole system do the trick. For with Banghart wiien he surrendered wTas Edward Datiak, who had been paroled 36 times for serious crimes, and after the 36th parole had murdered a policeman.

The present political parole system in many state penitentiaries, to Hoover, is the greatest enemy. And sometimes he wonders how soon it will be before the Touhy gang is out again, one way or the other; In which case, if the war is over. Hoover will have no legal grounds for arresting them. His only legal excuse this time was that they had failed to register change of address under the Selective Service Act. In other words they had not informed the warden at Statevllle, 111., when they skipped, what their new address would be.

GREY One of the first things the Touhy gang did after arriving in Chicago was to stage a series of hold-ups to get Draft Registration cards and Social Security cards. This was In case they should be caught in a traffic accident and the police demanded identification. Their life in Chicago was organized along strict military lines. Banghart was the disciplinarian, Touhy the brains. Banghart required two of the gang to remain on watch in the apartment every minute and when William Stewart let Matthew Nelson go out and get drunk, Banghart beat both up with his pistol butt and left them for dead.

They were captured by the FBT before Christmas. Afterwards the five remaining Touhy irangsters got two apartments, plus a farm in Southern Illinois on they planned to hide after pulling big jobs. They were all set for one of the worst crime waves ever experienced in crime-ridden Chicago. To avoid detection they pulled some of cleverest dodges the G-men have known. Every day they changed suits, hats and overcoats.

Thus in shadowing them a block away, the G-men found it difficult to ascertain many were in the gang. Moreover when one gangster went out, Banghart followed a block behind, a sawed-off shotgun under his overcoat, ready to pot any police or shadowing G-men. After days of watching, Hoover finally decided the time was ripe to close In and led his G-men to the Leland Ave. apartment. It was 8 p.

m. and they knew the apartment to be empty. Walking up the back stairs in the inky blackness, Hoover stepped oil a cat. It let out a terrific yowl. whispered Hoover, bad breathed assistant director E.

J. Connelley, flashing on a light, wasn a black cat. It was a grey WORSE THAN They took up the vigil in an apartment they had rented across the hall. Into the gangsters' room, with a pass key, slipped two other G-men. Down the hall In a public lavatory stood two more.

No one in the neighborhood realized it, but tlio house was completely surrounded. Hoover, and W. G. Bannister took turns peeping through a gimlet hole. It was tiring work.

The apartment teemed with bedbugs The three G-men writhed in agony. Finally, about 11 p. word came that two of the gangsters had left the other apartment and were on the way. They arrived. James O'Connor put his key in the door, then paused.

Something about the door had changed. He was suspicious, threw the door wide open. Inside were the 1 silhouettes of the two waiting G-men. The gangsters opeued fire. The G-men returned the fire from three directions.

Mclnerney took a swan dive over the railing and down the stairs, trying to escape. He was dead when he hit the landing. O'Conner died soon after. Heads of tenants peeked out like rabbits all along the hall. this is the kind of this exclaimed one irate woman, all means.

replied Hoover, not until ZERO HOI No one was allowed to leave the apartment house uutli morning. The G-men wanted no word to get to the other gangsters. Meanwhile a midnight broadcaht reported that two of the Touhy gangsters i had been killed. The G-men held their breath for fear Touhy had his radio on, but lie was asleep. Meanwhile, a blackboard talk had been given at headquarters on ihe detailed strategy for taking the next apartment..
