and Kresno in connection with
underworld activities.
Worton said he learned just a
week ago that the transcript of
many conversations between Co
hen and his hench-nen two years
ago, made possible by inder
ground wires to Cohen's home,
were in existence. He said he
immediately called in vice squad
Lieut. Rudy Wellpot, one of the
central figures in the current po
lice department scandal, for In
formation on the transcript.
One example of entries in the
transcript contained the follow
ing attributed to Cohen's hench
man, Mike Howard, and dated
Nov. 26. 1947:
"Mike said the reason the Los
Angeles police department takes
things on the side is because they
don't make enough to live on.
He says If you don't offer them a
gift, they don't take It they grab
it and tear your arm off with it."
The Lot Angeles Times says
"the material throws a piercing
light on the national as well as
the local activities of Cohen, gen
erally conceded to be the local
kingpin of the underworld."
The material has been request
ed for study by the governor's
commission on organized crime,
the newspaper said.

Charge Accounts
Latest Idea For
Theater Goers
HOLLYWOOD. Aug. 17. .in
You may soon be able to step up
to the boxoffice at the Bijou and
say: "Charge it, please."
Yes, to crown such lures as
free dishes, bank nights and pop
corn, movie men have dreamed
up new bait: boxoffice charge
accounts.
The seo it now and pay
later plan was hatched by
the King brothers, a trio of Holly
wood producers. They're offering
it free as a tonic for ailing film
profits.
The Kings, who arrived at their
f i resent eminence via an interest
n slot machine movies, intend to
offer their plan to the Theater
Owners of America. The orexni.
Izatlon begins its annual four-day
Wtd., Aug. 17, 1949 The Newi-Review, Rosoburg, Or. . 7
convention here Sept. 12.
The plan operates this way:
A patron's credit rating will be
established just as It Is when he
opens a department store charge
account. He will be issued a credit
card. At the boxoffice, the cashier
will note the card number, name
and number of guests. The custo
mer will be billed at the end of
the month.
Are credit happy Americans
ready to rise to the ltireT
Yes. says Frank King, spokes
man for the brothers.
"Most families live on budgets,1
Frank says, "and the family bank
roll is usually pretty thin the last
few days before payday. If they
knew they could pay later, a lot
more people would go to the
movies."
Although whale oil candle
went out of fashion 100 years ago,
skilled American glasswork ?r
are today making glass candle
holders by hand by virtually tha
same methods they used a cen
tury ago.
