Deputy Attorney General Nelson Stamler. who personally led the raids, pinned the "biggest" bookie label on the 50-year-old Link. Stamler parlayed a "hunch" into the seizure of the trunk-load of alleged gambling slips, telegrams from bettors and letters to Link in a later raid at nearby Palisades park. - "We have found out that Link did $22,000 a month business in the little town of Bridgeton (N.J.) alone. You can imagine what we're going to find when we go through the trunk," Stamler said. Bridgeton, a small south Jersey community, was the scene of ear lier disclosures that the Western Union Co. there handled tele-i ! graphed horse bets from all over j the country.

Established 1873 Roundup More Than 4th Of Listed Aliens Nabbed Rank And File Continue However, To Ignore Law Requiring Registration WASHINGTON UP) An exec- j utive committeeman of the Com munist party was taken into cus-: tody today in the Justice depart ment's continuing sweep-up of al leged alien Communist leaders. At least half a dozen other arrests also were made. The newest arrests took well past : th,1 one-quarter mark the roundup ' of 86 foreigners the department de scribes as among the most active Communist orgai izera, lectur-: ers and propagandists in the United Slates. Announcing the latest arrests, j the department identified Jose Cas-1 tillo, who was taken into custody at Dallas, Tex., as a member of the Communist party executive com mittee. He is a 57-year-old Mexican who has been in this country since ' 1919. It said arrests in the Detroit ! area included John Zydok, 53, of j Poland, listed as the financial sec- 1 retary of the Communist party unit at llamtramck, Mich. ' The department is rounding up the 86 with the aim of deporting them or forcing their departure I from this country. They are being taken into custody under the new internal security act. The law al lows their detention, in jails or on Ellis island, while deportation i I pending. Naw Law Ignored In other developments: 1. The Communist party and its affiliated groups continued to ig nore the law's provisions that "Communist action" and "Commu- nist front" groups must register with the Justice department and disclose their sources of funds. Some groups are required also to list individual members. Yesterday was the final day for "voluntary" registration. The Jus tice department indicated it w 1 1 1 move soon to enforce the registra tion provision. 2. A large group of persons op posed to the new act sought to en join enforcement of any of its nu merous provisions, and particu larly the Communist registration requirement, in the U. S. district court here. The 107 plaintiffs from 32 states included Elizabeth Gurley Elynn. member of the Communist party's national committee: Wil liam L. Patterson, attorney and secretary for the Civil Rights con gress, which is on the attorney gen eral's subversive list; and Arthur Schutzer, executive secretary of the American Labor party of New York. 3. Immigration service officials put finishing touches on a new set of regulations required by the new law for a blanket ban on admissions of present or former members of any foreign totalitarian movement. The ban is now being applied to all present or past Communists, Fascists, Nazis and Spanish Fa langists, execpt where the attorney general grants temporary entry "for impelling reasons."

U.S. Wins Suit For Estate Of Lillie L Moore SALEM P The United States government can collect the $15,000 estate of a 77-year-old Roseburg woman who left her estate to the government, the atate supreme court ruled today. The woman, Lillie Lela Moore, died May 14. 1940. She had never been married, and her nearest rela-1 tivea were seven nieces and neph ews These nieces and nephews, who were left only $1 each, brought suit against the United States in order to get the $15,000 for themselves. They claimed that the federal gov ernment has no power to accept the $15,000. The circuit court of Judge Carl E. Wimberly of Koseburg ruled that the government could accept the money. Today's decision by Justice Arthur D. Hay upheld Judge Wim berly. Miss Moore's will did not say why she wanted the government to have her estate. The nieces and nephews who brought the suit are Mrs. Martha Adele Hindman, Kdwin W. Moore, Wanda K. Chapman, Lillian Moore i Miller, Merle Kifer, 1-eila Mae; Ladner and Thel Ray.

Rings Throughreut World The 10-ton bell's voice was re layed throughout the world by more than 2,000 radio ataiions. Many stations beamed the bell's ringing directly to the Soviet bloc. The speeches which followed were aimed at giving the millions of oppressed and enslaved people a ray of hope in their struggle for freedom. The program was re corded for rebroadcast in the United States in connection with the U. N. day observance. General Clay, once the U. S. mil itary governor in Germany, urged mankind to build a world "of free nations and free men, living and working together, at peace." He said he hoped the bell would sound a -'arning to oppressors and give confidence, to the enslaved. "Though parts of the world are barricaded against it," Clay said, "its voice cannot he kept out.

New York "i President Truman proposed today a unanimoiu agree ment among nations upon a "fool proof" disarmament plan to pave the way for a concerted war against want. The President made It clear ha feela the United States and other fi ee nationa have no choice except to use their collective strength to curb aggression aa long as "there are some who will resort to war ' if it suit their ends. A "fool proof" disarmament clan. he told the United Nations general assembly, must outlaw not only atomic and hydrogen bombs but cover conventional war weapons as well. Given a rousing welcome on the fifth anniversary of the day the U. N. charter came into force, Mr. Truman avoided naming Russia and its Communist satellites, An drei Y. Vishinsky, Russian dele gate, was among those who greeted him upon his arrival at the as. scmbly hall. Vishinsky and the six other U. N. vice presidents sat on the platform with Mr Truman as he spoke. They arranged to attend a luncheon with the President, His spetrk was a thinly-veiled challenge to Russia to agree to hia disarmament plan, which called for international inspection to assure compliance. Words Not Enough . The United States and other free nations, Mr. Truman said, will continue to build up their military . forces as insurance against aggres. ' sion until there is unanimous agree ment on "international control of atomic energy a..d the reduction of armaments and armed forces." He left the door open for east- west peace talks both "in -the United Nations and elsewhere" a reference he did not expand but said the free nations have learned the hard way that negotia tion alone will not preserve peace. There must be armed strength as well, he said, to resist aggression. The President told his inter national audience, In words beamed throughout the world by the State department's "Voice of America," thai "the fear of another great in ternational war overshadows all the hopes of mankind." "This fear arises frpm the ten sions between nations and from the recent outbreak of open aggression in Korea." he said. "We in the United States believe that such a war can be prevented. "We do not believe that war is Inevitable." The defeat of the Communists who invaded South Korea gave "dramatic evidence" that the United Nations charter works, M r Truman said. Death Sentence On Gl Reviewed WASHINGTON fl Judson Ruch, lawyer for the only soldier who has received a court martial death sentence in the Korean war. takea the officer's case before the army's judicial council today. Ruch, of York, Pa., was to plead informally in the case of army Lt. Leon A. Gilbert, also from York. Gilbert is a Negro, a fact which has figured in the decision cf the case. Gilbert was sentenced to death by a general court martial for "mis behaving himself before the en emy by refusing to advance with hia command." in Korea. In World War II, only one serv iceman paid the supreme pen alty for a military offense. Gilbert's sentence was upheld by Ms). Gen. William B. Kean, 25th division commander, and sent to the army's judge advocate gen eral, Maj. Gen. E. M. Brannon, for review. That's where It Is now. If Gen eral Brannon decides the trial was properly conducted, with regard to the points of military law involved, he cannot change the verdict. However, the case then must go to President Truman, who alone has the authority to modify or set aside the verdict.
