WASHINGTON — More than three years ago this column came to the Justice Department's attention to the fact that Frankie Gellio, head of the Mafia and known pin American gambler could easily be deported insomuch as had falsified his naturalization oath in 1925. Any other citizen with her political pull would have been deported long ago. For instance, Rudolf Salli, a Finn who risk going back to Russianized Finland during the war to get information for the United States is now in the process of being deported because in 1918 he was convicted of technical forgery and driving car in which there was boot liquor. Salli worked for the OSS during the war with the German underground, got valuable information for the U.S.A., and now, if deported back to Finland, will shot as a spy. On the other hand, Frankie Gellio, if deported back to his native Italy, would live peacefully off his accumulated wealth. In contrast, Salli, he operated the biggest of rum-running boats off the Jersey coast, equipped with machine guns. However, Costello not being deported for a sin reasen—he has contributed heavily to many political campaigns especially the Democrtic party in New York. Meanwhile here is a continuation of the roll call of Mafia levers, the most secret list of criminals in the United States: We say "influential" because the individual members of the clubs, as well as the clubs themselves, exert a tremendously useful "influence" in the cities boasting a B-PW club. You will find the women belonging to this club are leaders in their fields—that in many cases they are the heart of the business organizations for which they work. Banded together in serious purpose for their communities, the B-PW members pursue their programs and objectives in a firm and business-like manner. For example, consider Anaheim's present "queen" contest. Anaheim is proud of its hallowe'en fair and festival. This year one of the basic promotional and financial programs of the big event is the "queen" contest. Much of the success of the fair depends on how well the people of Anaheim support the "queens". And, it is all a lot of hard work on the part of the active campaigners. As of the last check you know who was ahead in the contest: that's right, the B-PW. But, there are many other useful programs undertaken by the IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of the Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHHL 75 Years Ago The proposed bridge over the Coyote Creek has been located on the township line between townships 3 and 4 S, R 11W, or more plainly speaking, about three-quarters of a mile down the creek from the old Spanish crossing. A bridge of 75 feet span will cover the creek at this point. For aiding and abetting the disturbance which occurred among the Celestials a few days ago, San Si Wau has been sentenced by Judge Bailey to pay a fine of $50 or be imprisoned for 25 days. A motion was made for a new trial, which the judge denied. The case will probably be appealed. On Saturday two wagon-loads of machinery passed through town en route to Tustin city. We learn that the machinery was intended for a grist-mill soon to be established in Tustin. The following is a list of the To this end, the national program plans for full partnership of women both in opportunity and responsibility, with emphasis on the following: 1. Training for job betterment. 2. Opening new doors of employment opportunity. 3. Education for sound management of money. 4. Planning for mature living. 5. Cooperation with other business and professional organizations. 6. Understanding of the special needs and problems of other women, the farm and home women, the women who work in industry, the women in other countries. 7. Participation as citizens in government and politics to build a strong country and a peaceful world. Think those points over. You then realize women often are limited in their opportunities in the business world. But, the B-PW clubs have done much to overcome this apathy. All business and professional women are fortunate to have a mature, fighting, strong B-PW promoting the aims and aspirations of all women. Charles Fischetti, Chicago, Miami, Fla.—one of the most powerful figures in the united world, has connections with every important mob on the east coast is equally prominent with T. Accardo in the Mafia, and is ducking the Kefauver committee Charles and Rocco Fischetti, co-ins of the late Al Capone, loan $300,000 for the building of late Bugsy Siegel's Flamingo hotel in Las Vegas. New England Gangster Ray Patriaca, Providence, R.I. King of the rackets in Rhode Island and surrounding territory known to be associated with Frank Costello. In 1940, Daniel H. Costello, a member of the Massachusetts governor's council, was peached for obtaining Patria release from Massachusetts prison. The West Jack Dragna, real name is Tomio Hizoomi, Los Angeles.—of the Mafia on the west coast operated the universal news, which distributed raid news in California and parts Nevada, received $540 week from the Illinois Sports News, Cagao, until exposed. Dragna mixed up with just about every important mobster in the united world, was once arrested with Charles Fischetti, has fingered west coast rackets, including labor rackets in which he is associated with John Rosselli, an Si Wau has been sentenced by Judge Bailey to pay a fine of $50 or be imprisoned for 25 days. A motion was made for a new trial, which the judge denied. The case will probably be appealed. On Saturday two wagon-loads of machinery passed through town en-route to Tustin city. We learn that the machinery was intended for a grist-mill soon to be established in Tustin. The following is a list of the exports from the Anaheim railroad depot during the month of September: merchandise 54,937 lbs.; wool 171,355 lbs.; beans 55,-580 lbs.; potatoes 15,403 lbs; Wine 42,793 lbs. A comparison between the August and September statement of exports shows a balance of over one thousand dollars in favor of September. The Western Union operator has been called to Los Angeles to assist in that office. Until his return, the office will be under charge of Master D. Fish. Over two thousand people attended the camp - meeting near Downey city yesterday, and the converts were many and noisy. The coast survey steamer 'Hassler' is at San Pedro. 50 Years Ago W. J. Cole of Hardscrabble was in town a day or so ago. He is rejoicing over the arrival of a new baby girl at his home a week ago last Friday. Mr. Cole is a subscriber to the rural free delivery and is more than pleased with the service. He has been hearing reports from different quarters, however, that the system would be abandoned, but was informed that the person making such statement knew the same to be untrue. Rural free delivery has Newport on Tuesday a fine 10 pound salmon which was the first of its kind ever seen on this market. Judge Shanley, who has caught salmon by the bushel in the Columbia river, was present and said that while the fish looked like a salmon he would not believe it was one until it was cut open and the infallible sign disclosed—the unmistakable red salmon meat. Bush cleaned the fish and on slicing it, it was pronounced a salmon, and a fine specimen too. 25 Years Ago Preparations are already under way for the Hallowe'en street carnival to be given by the merchants and manufacturers' association on the night of Friday, October 30. This is the third time the merchants have staged this affair, and both the other carnivals have been unqualified successes. The big event on the program will be a parade with gaily decorated floats for which prizes will be awarded. The committee in charge of this feature is composed of Arthur Cohen, president of the Merchants and Manufacturers' Association and H. E. W. Barnes. The judges who will select the prize winners will be J. A. Clayes, Mayor Perry W. Matnis, Mrs. Helen Hardin and Mrs. E. E. Smith. The marshal of the parade will be R. B. Young. The committee in charge of decorating the store windows will be Roy Wethered, Bud Holland and R. B. Young. Prizes will be offered for the best decorated windows and for novelty windows. George W. Reid, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce will handle the finances, which will be raised by a committee consisting of J. Plotske, H. E. W. Barnes, Arthur Cohen, E. E. Smith, Bud Holland, Bob White, Roy Wethered and C. J. Nenno. Michigan Mafia Angelo Polizzi, Detroit, MI and Clarks Summit, Pa.-Below to the grand council of the international Mafia and he has several trips abroad in that connection. He also replaced Licovali as Mafia boss in Michigan after Licovali went into secretrion on a ranch near Tson, Ariz. Polizzi is also closely with the Mafia crowds in New York, owns powerful interests in coal, construction brewing businesses in Pennsylvania, has been arrested repeatedly for carrying concealed weapons and on murder charges, has never been convicted. In Sicily, he is an American citizen by virtue of an Army record in the first World War. Pete Licovali, Grosse Pointe WASHINGTON — More than years ago this column called Justice Department's attention to the fact that Frankie Cossead of the Mafia and king-american gambler could easily deported insomuch as he falsified his naturalization in 1925. Every other citizen with less official pull would have been arrested long ago. For instance, Wolf Salli, a Finn who risked back to Russianized Finland during the war to get information for the United States, now in the process of being deported because in 1918 and after he was convicted of a medical forgery and driving a car which there was bootleg driver. I worked for the OSS during war with the German underdog, got valuable information the U.S.A., and now, if de- back to Finland, will be a spy. The other hand, Frankie Cossead, deported back to his native Italy, would live peacefully as accumulated wealth. Dur- morhhibition, in contrast to the operated the biggest fleet on-running boats off the New York coast, equipped with magnets. However, Costello is being deported for a simple reason—he has contributed heavily to many political campaigns, especially the Democrtic party in New York. On while here is a continual roll call of Mafia lead- one most secret list of crim- in the United States: Colony Quips By way of a little background let us talk a little about Florida Mutual and compare the way it operates with how we in California operate our volume pro-rate. We are, of course, intercested in valencia oranges first because this area is primarily best suited to valencias. The valencia is the juice orange, the navel is the table orange and, we understand, has more votes on certain boards. Many people consider the valencia to be the 'stop-child' of the industry. Witness Exchange advertising which features "no-seeds" in navel oranges but never mentions the word valencia in its summer campaigns. Anyway the valencia comes up smack against the Florida orange in the frozen concentrate field. In the early months of the current valencia crop the market looked very sick—for the grower that is. But we kept on shipping heavy to "make our prorate" and the OAC was being exhorted every week by Mr. Wohlwend of the Exchange to keep the prorate high so we could "move the crop" before it was too late. So what? It finally got so bad that they took the whole thing off over Sunkist opposition and the price went up. A few weeks later the OAC put restriction back out kept the snipments away below those consistently advocated by Mr. Wohlwend and the Exchange group from Ventura, which many seem to think wags the dog. Get it? Anyway the market went to a fine level for the grower. But many packing houses had shinned all their fruit and insures a businesslike operation. Florida men believe and say that there will always be a premium for fruit of top quality, above established minimums. They simply restore buyer confidence through stable prices, and by increasing demand through this and through merchantising efforts. There is nothing too new or different in this sort of program. Almost the very same thing is practised by every big American business. Top thinking must be to sell instead of the take care of attitude. Our big co-operative is not like a hen with her growers as chicks. Or is it? We think it should operate as the sales department of a big industry. We think it should have the same responsibilities and the same treatment. The selling job should be directed at the consumer and not at the producer. When the product does not bring the producer a profit then things get changed—quick. But not in a big co-op. From what we have heard lately there are a few California growers who are doing some marking and have a few questions to throw with an "or else" tacked on. That is healthy. We think so, anyway. Taxpayers Warn of Prop. 1 Increases Real property owners in Orange county could expect that the $1.25 county general purposes tax rate they are paying this year would go up at least 9 cents, to a possible $1.34, unless Prop. No. 1 is defeated on November 7, California Taxpayer's association said today. The threatened $1.34 rate—$13.40 per $1000 of assessed value—would be higher than any rate the county has levied in the last year. Colony Quips KUMCHON, NORTH KY This is a city, the land taken by the American Korea, to which communism nothing but destruction obelisk. The obelisk, a tour-sided concrete tower, looms amid the ruins of H.K.'s inscriptions extoll for Stalin, the Soviet arm Korea's red leader Kim and the communist party. Cavalry foot trooper manded by Lt. Col. Paul Franklin, N.H., entered and broken city eurday. The reds must have left before. In several hours were half-eaten bowls of bunches of freshly pickled tables. One of the few taken said a reinforced had withdrawn late Friday. Mud huts lie powder dust by Allied bombs roofs of galvanized iron gouged on the ground. There was only a half civilians in the ruined city said the retreating red warned the population—at 25,000—the A would assault their women their homes and steal thieves. One woman who said she wife of a red soldier terroglators that the colony threatened to kill Kumchon if they didn't fight with the red army. The eerie absence of made it impossible to learn pattern of life under theists. But there are a mult indications the reds here. Pictures of Stalin and Sung show everywhere. Michigan Mafia Delo Polizzi, Detroit, Mich., marks Summit, Pa.—Belongs to grand council of the Internal Mafia and he has made trips abroad in that connation. He also replaced Pete Lili as Mafia boss in Michigan. Licovali went into semiment on a ranch near Tuc-Ariz. Polizzi is also tied with the Mafia crowds in York, owns powerful international coal, construction and big businesses in Pennsylvanie. He has been arrested repeatedly for carrying concealed-weaand on murder charges, but never been convicted. Born Lili, he is an American citizen virtue of an Army record first World War. Licovali, Grosse Point So what? It finally got so bad that they took the whole thing off over Sunkist opposition and the price went up. A few weeks later the OAC put restriction back but kept the shipments away below those consistently advocated by Mr. Wohlwend and the Exchange group from Ventura, which many seem to think wags the dog. Get it? Anyway the market went to a fine level for the grower. But many packing houses had shipped all their fruit by the time the price went up. But remember this was mainly true of houses which had a lot of poor fruit which was really hardly worth picking. But we claim the handling of the whole thing by the people mentioned above was inept. It lacked management. It lacked foresight. It was not worth a fraction of the money we growers paid for it. If that statement is anti-Exchange then let Mr. Prizer tell us where. In Florida the growers, better informed by far than their California counterpart, when faced by this situation call on Mutual and a floor is set. This minimum price program does not tell the grower how much he will receive for his fruit. It tells him the lowest price he can accept for his lowest quality fruit. Above such floors; the law of supply and demand continues to function. This merely sets the stage for an aggressive merchandising and advertising program. Park, Mich., and Tucson, Ariz.—Boss of the Michigan Mafia until he moved to his Grace ranch near Tucson. However, he still has a finger in the Detroit rackets. Licovali was sentenced to two years June 21, 1933, for attempting to bribe a customs officer in connection with a liquor case. Real property owners in Orange county could expect that the $1.25 county general purposes tax rate they are paying this year would go up at least 9 cents, to a possible $1.34, unless Prop. No. 1 is defeated on November 7, California Taxpayer's association said today. The threatened $1.34 rate—$13.40 per $1000 of assessed value—would be higher than any rule the county has levied in the last nine years, the association found. The threatened increase is estimated on the basis of 1949-50 county tax levies and assessed values of real and personal property in the county, the latest data available. The estimated 9 cent rate increase would be only for county general purposes. In addition rates for the cities, school districts, and many special districts could also be expected to go up. Prop. No. 1 proposes to exempt personal property from taxation, the Taxpayers' organization explained, pointing out that personal property throughout the state or California averages 22 per cent of the total assessed value of property taxed locally. Percentage varies county by county. COOLING COMFORT MINNEAPOLIS (P)—The problem of keeping comfortable this winter is one of proper cooling rather than heating, says Dr. Waldo Kliever, director of research of the Minneapolis-Honeywell Regulator Company. The human body is a heat machine constantly shedding extra heat to maintain an inner body temperature of 98.6 degrees, Dr. Kliever says. The body radiates heat to the surrounding wall more quickly as they become colder. More heat is therefore needed within the house to slow down the rate of cooling, he explains. One woman who said she the wife of a red soldier terrogators that the co-attended to kill Kumchh dents if they didn't flee with the red army. The eerie absence of made it impossible to learn pattern of life under the red army. But there are a mult indications the reds here.

Guardsmen RONALD KAY LEE McKINNEY Hal Boyle KUMCHON, NORTH KOREA—This is a city, the largest yet taken by the Americans in red Korea, to which communism brought nothing but destruction and an abelisk. The obelisk, a tour-sided, five-fingered concrete tower, looms starkly amid the ruins of Kumchon. Its inscriptions extoll long life for Stalin, the Soviet army, North Korea's red leader Kim Il Sung and the communist party. Cavalry foot troopers commanded by Lt. Col. Paul Clifford, Franklin, N. H., entered the battered and broken city early Saturday. The reds must have left shortly before. In several houses there were half-eaten bowls of rice and buns of freshly picked vegetables. One of the few prisoners taken said a reinforced battalion had withdrawn late Friday night. Mud huts lie powdered into dust by Allied bombs. Their soils of galvanized iron glint dully on the ground. There was only a handful of civilians in the ruined city. Some said the retreating red army had warned the population—estimated at 25,000—that the Americans would assault their women, burn their homes and steal their food. One woman who said she was the wife of a red soldier told interrogators that the communists threatened to kill Kumchon's residents if they didn't flee north with the red army. The eerie absence of civilians made it impossible to learn of the pattern of life under the communists. But there are a multitude of indications the reds had been here. Pictures of Stalin and Kim Il Sung show everywhere. There RUDY LOPEZ TED BROWNE POET HONORED TUJUNGA (P)—Southland poets joined in tribute Sunday to John Steven McGroarty, the late poet Laurate of California, at Chapo Rosa, his Tujunga home. It was the eighth annual grimage to the McGroarty home sponsored by the California Federation of Chaparral Poets. Best known as the author of the Mission Play, McGroarty died in 1941 at the age of 81.

One woman who said she was the wife of a red soldier told interrogators that the communists threatened to kill Kumchon's residents if they didn't flee north with the red army. The eerie absence of civilians made it impossible to learn of the pattern of life under the communists. But there are a multitude of indications the reds had been here. Pictures of Stalin and Kim Il Sung show everywhere. There are many copies of Russian language magazines and newspapers, although it is doubtful if many Koreans read Russian. There are stocks of Russian-made military equipment. There are communist posters galore in the Russian and Korean languages. And there is the obelisk, dominating the city. In the police station are files of Korean language newspapers, with pictures purporting to showatrocities by the South Koreans against the reds. Kumchon's rail yards are a jungle of twisted iron and splintered wood. The sides of burned and charred freight cars stand out like ribs of a skeleton. There is no indication that life under the reds had been any better here than in South Korea. There are no new buildings. The houses are the same poor mud and lathe affairs one finds in the south. There are no new roads. An air of poverty hangs over the palace, age-old dilapidation which the new destruction of war and bombs cannot conceal. Prowling Americans found nothing of souvenir value. But two South Koreans did. They proudlyugged a hamper of smelly dried fish down the main street—the poils of war. Communist Kumchon is a prize hardly worth the winning.
