The whereabouts of one of the latter trio, Santo (Sam) Perrone. father-in-law of Renda, still was unknown. Perrone has not been seen since before issuanct of the charges last Wednesday. One unsupported rumor had It that Ritchie fled out of anger over a reference to himself In a newspaper as a "squealer." At the same time O'Brien said he feared Ritchie might be killed by gangsters if the police did not catch up with him.

CLJANIRS Within Alcoholics Anonymous, the year 1953 closed as the eighteenth year of a successful fellowship of men and women sharing their experience, strength and hope that they might solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. 1953 for A A was a monumental year of growth in action for the lone primary purpose to carry its message to the alcoholic who still suffers." An increased consciousness of the opportunity and the obligal'm of service was reflected in the spirit and works of individual groups as well as in the collective spirit of world wide fellowship. Outside AA, there were many new activities by agencies of medicine, church and government that indicated an increased consciousness of the fact that alcoholism is everybody's problem." An aroused society was fast proclaiming that the sick mind and sick body of the chronic drinker were an important concern of the public health rather than merely a blot on the public morality. Research and education came into action on many new fronts to make 1953 a year of hope for the 4,000,000 American'alcoholics. AA GROWS NEW GROUPS That the AA message had been constantly carried in 1935 is best attested b.v the registration of new groups through the year.

As of April, 1953 (issuance date of AA's annual directory) there were 3,938 groups. In the ensuing six months, two new groups a day were added to the roster, to bring the yearend total of registered AA units above the 5,000 mark. Prison groups showed a steady, high rate of growth, 31 being added since April in institutions for a total of 211. Hospital groups increased by 16, for a total of 117. Outside the United States, there was a similar growth, with a total of 821 groups in 62 countries now in the world-wide neighborship.

Canada reported new strength in every province. But AA's 1953 growth was measurable beyond numerical gains; it was a year of solid progress in maturity and unity.
