Anclote and Edmont keys reported winds above 30 miles per hour, the former with gusts of 45 miles per hour. The bureau, said the center should reach the coast later this morning, altho there are some indications that the course may be changing to one north of east northeast.

Babb accepted but Gilbert declined. The present magnitude of organized crime and racketeering in this community demands a fresh viewpoint and a vigorous approach to law enforcement problems, the commission statement said. "The Chicago Crime commission firmly believes that the Democratic candidate, Capt.

Gilbert, cannot bring these requisites to the sherif 's office. "Babb is a relatively young man 44 with a splendid reputation. He is untainted with past practices and the limited perspective which have rendered law enforcement officials relatively ineffective in Cook county. "The zeal and earnestness possessed by Mr. Babb are essential qualities in an effective law enforcement officer.

"The Chicago Crime commission believes that he is well qualified to fill the Important office of sherif of Cook county." Gang Murders Unsolved In Gilbert's 18 years as chief investigator for Democratic state's attorneys, organized criminal and racketeering elements have remained deeply entrenched and have continued to prosper, the statement said; virtually none of the numerous gang murders has been solved, it said, and Gilbert must assume a substantial measure of responsibility." Babb received word yesterday that his wife, Claire, who entered St. Luke's hospital Monday for examination and treatment, is suffering from rheumatic arthritis. He canceled appearances at several meetings to spend some time with her and to nurse a cold he has been fighting for two weeks. Babb's intention to set up a civic agency to aid him, if he is elected, was restated in a letter to the Church Federation of Greater Chicago made public yesterday. The federation had written Babb that the sherif should take leadership in breaking up the alliance between crime and politics.

He Plans Commltteo Babb wrote in reply: "I hav previously stated my position create a liaison agency with lead ing church and civic groups work with me in selecting sherif highway police personnel. "I shall call upon a number ol responsible community and church agencies to delegate representatives to serve on a committee to meet with me from time to time for an interchange of ideas and views in the conduct of the sherif office." The federation wrote a similar letter to Gilbert, who agreed to consult with a committee but could not definitely declare ha would accept tha recommendation of such a group. ulation, and 2 the scant informa WALKS BACK UP front.

"It never has operated He denied that the FCC representatives had ordered or requested that this operation be halted, but admitted they had discussed the operation.

He said he could not identify the illegal station shut-down by the FCC as Sylvania's experimental station. The FCC said the bootleg station rebroadcast NBC programs picked up without authority from WJAC-TV, an NBC affiliate at Johnstown, 75 miles south of here. Local residents said the illegal station has operated for more than a year. Its 75 foot transmitter tower is visible from Emporium, and most of its programs were taken off the Du Mont network, they said. Local opinion is that the station was built without company authority or backing by a small group of radio and TV engineers employed by Sylvania.

For receiving TV programs, they are now as useful as butter churns. Among the places which have TV sets are St. Mary's Country club, the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars quarters, the Moose lodge, and the Christabelle club, which is used by the Knights of Columbus and other Catholic organizations for meetings and social events. Spotted by Monitors The FCC said the illegal station had been broadcasting since Sept. 1, at first intermittently and then regularly.

It was spotted by an FCC monitoring station. The commission said Sylvania officials explained the unlicensed operation by stating they 'knew it would be useless to apply for a broadcasting permit because of the two year old FCC freeze on TV permits.
