WASHINGTON (UPD-At long
last, the good guys are giving
the bad guys their lumps in the
war against organized crime.
"There's no doubt about it,'
said Asst. Atty. Gen. Herbert J.

hurting.'

ment's Criminal Division, 39-
year-old Jack Miller is the fed
eral government's field general
in the fight to smash the power
of nationwide crime syndicates.
He knows better than others
that the fight is very far from
won, and hie is not indulging in
premature victory celebrations.
But he also knows that tiie feds
are going after big-time criminals
these days with unprecedented
vigor and determination. And he
says it's paying off.
"We've got them on the run,"
Miller said in an interview with
United Press International. "If
we can keep the pressure on for
another five or six years, we
may break the back of this
monster."
Takes Over Division
Miller Is an amiable, quite-
spoken Republican lawyer from
Minneapolis. He was in private
law practice with a distinguished
Washington firm when Atty. Gen.
Robert F. Kennedy asked him in
early 1961 to take charge of the
crminal division.
At that time, Miller knew no
more about organized crime than
the average citizen. He'd read
fantastic stories about its multi
billion dollar annual take from
gambling, narcotics and other
rackets, and about the mysteri
ous "Mafia" which was supposed
to coordinate the whole enter
prize. But he was included,' as
many citizens still are, to treat
it as a myth.
"But it's not a myth," he said
with the dogged emphasis of a
man who is telling the truth but
expects to be disbelieved.
"The lurid stories in the press
don't exaggerate if anything
they underestimate the scope of
the underworld operation, the de
gree to which it seeks to bribe
and corrupt law enforcement of
ficers and public officials, the
ruthlessness with which it em
ploys murder and other forms of
violence to protect - its vast
sources of income and silence
witnesses."
Says Mafia Exists
Even the "myth" about the
Mafia has turned out to be true,
he said. The revelations of Jo
seph Valachl, imprisoned gang
land executioner who decided to
talk, have given federal officials
a wealth of inside information
about the sinister organization
whose very existence was previ
ously questioned by some inves
tigators. Valachl not only con
firmed its existence: He told just
how it operates, and named more
than 100 of its top figures.
Valachi's long song was a "ter
rific break" for the criminal di
vision's new intelligence unit,
Miller said. The intelligence unit
was organized two years ago to
bring together in one place all of
the information about crime and
criminals available to the 26 dif
ferent federal agencies which
have law enforcement re
sponsibilities. The government had never be
fore had such a "CIA for crime,"
and Miller has found it "ex
tremely helpful". The unit now
has dossiers on the activities of
about 1,200 major racketeering
figures, he said.
Credits New Laws
Also of major importance in
the stepped - up fight against
crime, Miller said, is the new
legislation enacted by Congress

BRAWL EVERY NIGHT
VISBY, Sweden (UPI) - A bar

has opened up a "Western Sa

tomers. Each night four men
stage a "Western" brawl.
in 1961 which makes It a federal
crime to send gambling informa
tion or paraphernalia across
state lines, or to travel in inter
state commerce in support of
racketeering.
These laws have given the
Federal Bureau of Investigation
a legal license to go after big
time gambling, which long has
been the number one source of
income for the crime syndicates.
"The FBI is now going after
organized crime the way it went
after the Communist party," said
Miller.
Migrant health
project begins
PORTLAND (UPI) Oregon's
migrant labor health project is un

Dr. Ralph Sullivea, director of
the occupational heilth section of
the State Board of Health, said a
public health nurse and sanitarian

Yamhill, Washington, Polk, Ma

The project is operated under a
federal grant of about $70,000.
