SATURDAY, NOVIMIIR If. 1UO Crackdown on Bookies Continues TONY ACCARDO parallels Capone Gang Lord Accardo Gets 6-Year Term CHICAGO Chicago gang lord Tony Accardo was sentenced to six years in prison yesterday on the same charge that nailed Al Capone income tax evasion. He was also ordered to pay 515,000 in fines for trying to get away with a two-bit tax dodge. Accardo, who had been untouchable as far as the law was concerned throughout long life in the rackets, was LOS ANGELES-CNS--Law enforcement officers continued their war on organized book making in the southland as they arrested six men late yesterday.

All of the suspects, taken into custody by U.S. Treasury service agents and sheriff's vice squad officers, were described as "very active" bookmakers. They were jailed on suspi cion of falling to purchase the 550 federal "bookie tax stamp. 1 Arrested were: Arthur Archie Elsenberg, of QUEENIY 1690 Fulton Monterey Park; Elmer Palmer, 61, of 1215 S.

convicted of writing off $3,995 in expenses for his red sports car as business deductions. Accardo claimed he used the flashy Mercedes-Benz auto in his role as an honest salesman. The government argued Accardo never sold an honest bottle of beer in his life, but used the salesman's job as a coverup for huge illegal profits. In imposing sentence, federal Judge Julius J. Hoffman de- Jiounced Accardo as a kingpin in organized gambling "an industry managed in secret by the underworld, powered by bribery and annually yielding an enormous and intolerable national product of dcgreda tion, misery and violence." Accardo rocked on his heels and chewed gum.

The sentencing was history repeating itself. Just across the corridor, 29 years ago, another federal wrecked the Chicago crime empire of Al Capone by sentencing him to 11 years for income tax evasion. Capone came out of prison a sick and broken man. Accardo, a trusted lieutenant, muscled his way into Ca'pone's seat of power. Today, "tough Tony" faced Capone's fate.
