Despite the all-out effort, officials still fear more gangland killings.

At least three and perhaps five men have already been earmarked for death, informed sources reported. There were reports that some gangland figures terrified by the wave of slaying have already left town. Others have gone into seclusion. Police themselves seemed pleased with the all-out effort. "We're pleased with our ef who are investigating five of the 18 slayings the rest oc curred in other cities expect to solve one of them shortly.

This move followed the declaration by Boston Police Comr. Edmund L. McNamara that his forces are continuing their "all-out war" on the underworld.

McNamara has turned loose all available officers in the probe of the 18 slayings which have occured since March of 1964. The Federal Bureau of Investigation also has promised its cooperation. Boston police in their second night of rounding up known criminals had 15 men in for questioning last night. Tomorrow the problem of the gang killings will be discussed by the Boston City Council which wants the Massachusetts Crime Commission to take over the investigation. Monday night, 25 known criminals were brought in for questioning and several email arms cconfiscated.

Not to be caught out of step is Massachusetts.

Here, more than 20 high schools boast girls' varsity teams in gymnastics. Many of the teams are less than a year old. One booster locally was a clinic at Newton South High School conducted by Muriel Grossfeld, Olympic gymnast and top American woman gymnast. So strong was the local interest that the clinic's planner, Mrs. Pauline Kisiel, had to limit volunteers.

Mrs. Kisiel, head of the girls' physical education department at Newton South, said, "I had teachers from other schools begging me to raise the number of volunteers. One charge against him. Ellene Farmer of Wellesley, said, "It's hard to compare her (Mrs. Grossfeld) with anyone.

She has so much grace." Kris Dowd of Weston found it "surprising to see what she did. Actually it was unbelievable." Dorey Finn of Newton thought "the girl was marvellous in her demonstrations." Mrs. Grossfeld's visit to Boston was part of a marathon tour of 50 American cities. Her goal is to sell teenage girls on physical ness. In addition to exhibitions like the one at Newton South, Mrs.

Grossfeld hopes to reach the "soft, flabby American girl." She would like to get some of the offbeat ideas out of their heads. Many believe boys admire dainty girls, she says. In retort, Mrs. Grossfeld points to herself and says, "Being fit doesn't mean looking like a fullback." In fact, Mrs. Grossfeld contends, "Exercise usually makes your dress size smaller and balances any weight problem." One of her selling points is Club 15, sponsored by the Campbell Soup Co.

This program contains diet and exercises for teenage girls. Mrs. Grossfeld believes everyone "gets bored with just exercising" but exercising with others is fun. Free booklet describing the club plan may be obtained by writing Club 15, Box 1665, New York, N.Y. Atty.

Sullivan said that he realizes that the Boston police have a problem on their hands with the wholesale shootings going on, but he said that the police should act legally and should arrest on warrants.
