Information To War On Rackets CHICAGO, Feb. 15 tpi The big business of organized crime and the leaders in the various rackets were the targets for the opening blasts here by newspapers in many of the nation's major cities. The expose of the shadowy op erations of rackets in the United States by newspapers in 14 cities was planned at a three-day meet ing here last week by their crime reporters. They exchanged infor mation on the various rackets and organized crime leaders and plan ned a series of pooled articles. The stories appeared as federal and local crime law enforcement agents from across the country planned a crime conference in Washington. The meeting today fol lows the annual closed-door session of the nation's federal distrcit at torneys. Other newspapers which did not take part in the conference cur rently are developing and printing searching articles and series on the country's organized crime. The Chicago Daily News publish ed a copyrighted story yesterday, the first of two articles it said was based on the combined work of the group of. newspapermen. The news said "the rackets, chief among them gambling, fun nel off hundreds of millions of dol lars each year from legitimate trade channels." "There's a loosely knit federa tion in the racket world," the ar ticle said. "Despite their seeming ly catch-as-catch-can working ar rangements, the mobs blanket the country. There are connections sometimes clear, sometimes shad owy, between Costello (Frank Cos tello of New York) and the Ricca Capone mob of Chicago, rhe hood lum setup in New Orleans, with the bombed-out and shot-at Mickey Co hen in Los Angeles, and with the rich gaming fields of Florida, Ari zona and Nevada."

He added: Baldock Contradicts Cowgill SALEM, Feb. 16.-UP-State En gineer R. H. Baldock says he got sound military advice before plan ning the new bridge across the Willamette river at Salem. Answering Brig. Gen. Ralph P. Cowgill's charge that the two bridges could be knocked out with one bomb, Baldock said: "A high officer in the United States air force advised me that in the last war, few bridges were even damaged by aerial bombs. "To say that one bomb could damage or destroy two bridges a block apart is inconceivable, unless the bomb were an atom bomb." Referring to General Cowgill's statement that the bridges would cause congestior in the Salem area, No question now as to who has" the ball on automobile styling!
