THE DILLON EXAMINER WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS ■ Truman-Mac Arthur Discuss Korea Reconstruction at Wake Meeting; Dewey Says He Won’t Run in 1952 (EDITOB’S NOTE: When opinion! ore expressed In them eolomns. they aro those ot Western Newspaper Union's news analysts and not necessarily of this newspaper.) President Truman and his personal military and diplomatic advisors were photographed just before the takeoff for Wake island and the meeting with Gen. Douglas MacArthur. From left to right: W. Averill Ilarriman, Dean Rusk, Phillip Jessup, Mr. Truman, Frank Pace, Jr., and Gen. Omar Bradley. WAKE ISLAND: Talks Lack Something On the hot, lonely little island of ‘Wake in mid-Pacific, President Har ry S. Truman and Gen. Douglas ¡MacArthur, two men who have had much to do with world destiny in the last few years, had a talk. After it was over, a statement was issued which said the two dis cussed a number of subjects vital to world problems. According to the press release they talked about reconstruction of Korea, the possi bility of a Japanese peace treaty, and the general agreement to strive toward peace in unity with other U.N. nations. The meeting was of great interest to the American public from anoth er angle. MacArthur and Mr. Tru man had never met and their con flicting views on a number of sub jects had been reported in the press during recent months. Reports of the meeting indicated that MacArthur had only a general idea of the topics to be discussed when he was asked to meet the President. It was also reported that Truman conducted the talks from an agenda scribbled on a pad. Observers believed these reports gave an indication of the how and why of the meeting. The President had a number of topics to discuss with the U.N. commander and he limited the talks to that agenda. It was also suggestive, some observ ers believed, that Mr. Truman was acting in his capacity as President and commander-in-chief and not as a man seeking advice. On the surface the meeting was cordial. In farewell, MacArthur said: “Good-by, sir. Happy landing. It has been a real honor to talk with you.” But the other MacArthur seemed revealed when he said good-by to Gen. Omar N. Bradley, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff: “Good- by, Omar. Don’t let them ,get you down up there.” To the observer not so close to hand, the MacArthur-Truman meet ing seemed to lack something, al though no one has been able to say definitely just what. DEWEY: A Bombshell Gov. Thomas E. Dewey tossed a political bombshell upon the na tional scene by saying flatly he would not run for President in 1952 and would back Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower for the Republican nomination. The governor had no more than made his statement when other liberal Republicans, including Har old Stassen, backed the move. “Under no circumstances that I can conceive,” Dewey said, \will I accept the nomination for Presi dent in 1952, and I doubt if there is any possibility the situation would arise thereafter.” The Democrats had nothing to say about Dewey’s announcement. President Truman when informed of it was reported to have murmured “that’s fine” and continued his swim in the Pacific. A number of political figures, however, recalled that the governor said shortly before he announced for the third term as governor of New York, he would not be a candi date for that office again. The last time Eisenhower men tioned politics he said he did not want to identify himself with any one political party. He added that “I have no political connections, no political ambitions, and don't want any connections with politics.” Headliners “Firm action in Korea must not lull us into a sense of false security. What happened in Korea has set world peace on stronger foundations. There may be time to build up a European army with strong aid from Britain, the United States and Canada,” Winston Churchill told a cheering mass rally of the Conservative party. “As for myself, my convictions as to the place and methods through which I can best contribute some thing to the cause of freedom have been often expressed. They have not changed. Here at Columbia Univer sity I have a task that would excite the pride and challenge the quali fications and strength of any man. I still believe that it offers to such an individual as myself rich op portunities for serving,” General Eisenhower said in answer to Thom as Dewey’s suggestion he become the Republican candidate for presi dent in 1952. THE DRAFT: Fathers in Line National Selective Service Direc tor Lewis B. Hershey, worried about where the men are coming from for the draft, announced he might ask the President to erase almost all draft dependency deferments ex cept for fathers. Later he said he even, favored taking some men with children. Hershey said it might be neces sary to take some fathers if the goal of three million men in the armed forces by next June was to be met. Meanwhile 19,000 young physici ans, dentists and veterinarians reg istered for a possible 21 months’ military service. Of the total, 1,522 face induction by January 15 unless they volunteer first. If there are too few volunteers the army will begin an Induction pro gram November 15 by taking 300 physicians, 300 dentists and 50 vet erinarians. Another 322 doctors, 200 dentists and 50 veterinarians will be called by January 15. All doctors through age 50 eventu ally must register, but the first group includes only those deferred during World War II to train at their own or government expense and saw less than 21 months service. Investigators Sen. Estes Kefauver, chair man of the U.S. senate crime investigating committee, con fers with chief counsel Rudolph Halley and his assistant, Alfred Klein. Kefauver’s committee has revealed major crime syndicates in a number of U. S. cities. HARD TO BELIEVE Nine Firms Announce Price Cuts In these days when the public seems to be fair game for all kinds of price boosts, it’s hard to believe that nine companies announced price cuts. The cuts were on bag- packed coffee, airplane parts and asphalt tile. The A & P company and Grand Union company, retail grocery chains, announced reductions on the price of their various brands of bag coffee by two cents a pound. Boeing Airplane of Seattle an nounced it was reducing by 10 per cent the price on all stratocruiser spare parts. The cut was retroactive to September 1. Armstrong Cork company put price reductions of about 5 per cent in effect on standard asphalt tile. Coffee prices had been on the up swing for many months. ELECTION: Duty to Vote As the date of the national elec tion nears, the American Heritage Foundation, the non-profit citizens' group that sponsored the Freedom Train, stepped up its campaign of turning our a large vote. The foundation is sponsor of the contest in which prizes of historical papers are being awarded to com munities, counties, and civic organ izations doing the best job in turn ing out the vote. The campaign was designed to combat widespread voter lethargy which in the presidential election of 1948 saw more than 45,000,000 of America’s voting population fail to go to the polls. Two years ago only 52 per cent of the voters took the trouble to cast their ballots, a poor record wh,en contrasted with other countries. In the last national elections held in Sweden, 82 per cent of the voting population went to the polls. The turnout in France and Italy ex ceeded 80 per cent. In Great Brit ain it was 76 per cent and in Can ada 74 per cent. Thomas D’Arcy Brophy, founda tion president, said in launching the contest: “In this year of crisis it is more necessary than ever before that every citizen of voting age vote. A large turnout at the polls is the most effective answer free citizens can hurl at those who would enslave them.” Soon after election day a three- man board of judges will start re viewing the efforts of various com munities and organizations in rais ing the voting levels in their regions. The judges are Lt. Gen. Walter Bedell Smith, director of the cen tral intelligence agency; Charles E. Wilson, president of General Elec tric company, and William Green, president of the American Federa tion of Labor. In 1948, Utah had the best voting record with 74.6 per cent going to the polls. SECURITY ACT: Confusion in Europe The new U. S. internal security act threw Europe into a state of confusion that bordered on the fan tastic. Hundreds of businessmen, artists, and tourists scheduled to sail for America suddenly found them selves without permits to enter this country as a result of the state de partment’s order that all visas be canceled. The order required all visas be revalidated and hundreds of travel ers, thousands of miles from home, were told they would have to return to their native lands to secure new permits. The state department’s action was taken under that section of the se curity law which says no visas will be issued to persons who are now, or ever have been, members of the Communist, Nazi or Fascist par ties, or affiliated with any of their organizations or subdivisions. There was further confusion in that there was no ruling on the problem of eligibility for visitors or immigrants from Spain or Ar gentina, both of which have been mentioned as governments to which the anti-totalitarian ban might be applied. Businessmen and manufacturers complained that the ban injured U.S.-German trade by keeping out businessmen already checked by allied authorities. About 90 per cent of all Germans are believed to have been members of Nazi organizations either by choice or compulsion. The standing j o k e of Europe, seen in newspapers and on posters, read: “Visit America and see Ellis island.\ MOBILIZATION: A Fight for Survival A new cry for an all-out effort in the fight for survival was made by W. Stuart Symington, economic mobilizer. He called for higher taxes, stiffer curbs on credit and longer working hours. He reported his agency is now getting organized for such price and wage action as may be needed, but hastened to add he believed it might be possible to avoid general price- wage controls in the immediate fu ture “if we could get over the psy chology of scare buying.” Many observers believed that Symington was making a desperate appeal in an effort to head off furth er curbs. Symington said: \We must have strong credit controls to cut down civilian buying . . . We must have much higher taxes, on a ‘pay-as- you-go’ basis, to keep purchasing power down to a level of available civilian goods.” To cope with Russia’s superiority in man power, he suggested: 1. A “great step-up” in American production. 2. Return of older workers and women into the labor force. 3. Restoration of work hours, \at least part way” to the levels that prevailed during World War II. PARCEL-POST: Rate Increase Asked Invoking a little-used statute, Postmaster-General Donaldson has asked the interstate commerce commission for an increase in par cel-post rates amounting to $105,- 000,000 a year. The proposed increase would up mailing charges for the first pound from four to nine cents, depending on postal zone. Additional poundage would be increased up to three cents a pound. Dangirous Investigation S ENATOR Kefauver’s determina tion to investigate the Mafia re quires a lot more courage than ap- i pears on the surface. Not only is it dangerous from the point of view of personal safety, but it is dan gerous politically. For the Mafia has friends and protectors in very high places. President Truman had no idea what was happening, and probably his naive military aide, Maj. Gen. Harry Vaughan, did not suspect it, but the Mafia was making a play for White House pull through the late William Helis, close friend and partner of Frankie Costello. The sen ate expenditures committee was in the throes of unearthing real dyna mite in regard to this during the Maragon - Vaughan investigation, when Senator Hoey considerately hushed the hearings up. How the Mafia pulls wires in high places is illustrated by Sylves- tro Carolla, New Orleans hatchet man for Louisiana’s Mafia chief, Marcello, who helps operate Cos tello’s gambling joints in and around New Orleans. Carolla’s son, Anthony, is married to Marcello’s niece, Maria Zaniatta, who came to the United States from Italy on a visitor’s permit in 1947, but strangely has been allowed to re main here ever since. Obviously she could not have done so without political pull. Carolla was convicted in 1921 for bootlegging, and spent a year and a day in Atlanta; was sentenced again in 1931 to 24 months for vio lating tthe narcotics laws; and in 1933 was sentenced to 8 to 15 years at hard labor for attempted mur der. However, the Mafia has pull. And, one year after the attempted murder, Carolla was given a full pardon by the governor of Louisi ana. Two years later, in January, 1936, Carolla was slapped into Atlanta on a five-year sentence for a nar cotics violation, and this time the federal government finally decided that he was not a useful citizen and ordered him deported. Whereupon Congressman James Morrison of Louisiana came to his rescue, intro ducing a series of private bills to keep him in this country. However, Carolla’s record was too black even for political pull, and on April 30, 1947, he was deported from Boston by plane. Two years later, he turned up in Mexico, operating out of Acapulco, having been ordered there by Lucky Luciano personally. And on July 4, 1950, Carolla was picked up in New Orleans, right back in his old stamp ing ground. Secret Mafia Roll Call Here is the hitherto unpublished roll call on more of the Mafia lead ers, the most powerful rulers ol crime in the United States: FRANK CAPPOLA, alias “Three- Fingered Frank”—Cappola was prominent in the New Orleans Mafia, then showed up in Kansas City, where he was linked with the late Charlie Binaggio. In fa'ct, Bin- aggio aided Cappola to resist de portation in 1930 but failed. Cappola was deported but came back again, in May, 1949, with Binaggio on his $2,000 deportation bond. Cappola set up headquarters in Tijuana, Mexico, and in 1949 Bin aggio made an interesting trip to Mexico, stopping off to visit Cappola in Tijuana and Carolla in Acapulco. Once the Tijuana chief of police, Francisco Kraus, raided Cappola’s headquarters in a Tijuana motel, and found with him Frank Bompen- serio, a San Diego tavern owner and business associate of Jack Dragna, boss of the California Mafia. Texas Gambling Lords JOE DI GIOVANNI, alias Joe fore 1920, Maceo was a humble Galveston barber. But he broke in to the bootlegging racket, graduated to dope smuggling, then muscled into the gambling rackets, and now owns Galveston night clubs, bars and two hotels. Maceo is also a power in Texas politics. Bom in Italy in 1894, his criminal record shows no convictions, only an ac quittal on a New York narcotics rap Oct. 24, 1942. BIAGGLIO ANGELICA of Houston —Is Maceo’s subordinate in the Mafia, has been linked with Maceo in narcotigs smuggling, was sen tenced to 10 years and fined $2,000 on a narcotics rap at Houston, Oct. 20, 1938; was sentenced to another eight years’ imprisonment at Gal veston Jan. 10, 1940, and still an other two years at New York city Oct. 10, 1942. both on narcotics vio lations. Missouri Mobsters JOE DI GIOVANNI, allias Joe Church, Kansas City—is Mafia chief in the Kansas City area, coming there from Brooklyn. Di Giovanni has been the big boss over such better-known bosses as Joe De Luca and the late Charles Binaggio. Di Giovanni’s front is the Di Gio vanni wholesale liquor company, which incidentally has employed Paul Cantanzaro, a murder suspect, as night watchman. Di Giovanni’* criminal history goes back to 1915.
