Frank J. Loesch; head of the Chicago crime commission and special prosecutor- in charge of a series of "clean-up" grand Juries, declared the direct cause of fre- i ii nn t rni1 x m i 1 n n n a vir1n ia was the shielding of gangsters, racketeers and bootleggers by po litical leaders. "The immense illegitimate pro fits resulting from this protection keep the inter-gang warfare alive and the city in an uproar," said the white haired, vigorous attor ney, j drafted by the Chicago Bar association in an effort to restore a respect for law and order. Loesch Knows Just How It's Worked" "A licensed soft drink place opens up, we'll say, on Wacker drive. Because protection has been bought from politicians, a load of beer with high alcoholic content is obtained from the Ca pone syndicate. If the Capone patronage is continued, the place will be bombed before long and a reign of terror sets in, killings naturally resulting in the fight between syndicates for the busi ness."
