TROWBRIDGE c FlATNN OPEN WEDNESDAY NIGHTS TIL 9 214 West Main O Medferd O Capone Mob Said Taking Control of .' Nevada Gambling Berkeley, Calif. (U.R) The head of the Chicago Crime Com mission says the Capone mob has taken over, control of a number of Nevada gambling casinos in Las Vegas and Reno. Virgil W. Peterson, operating director of the commission, says he has learned that Tony Ac cardo, reputed leader of the Ca pone syndicate, has received checks totaling more than $100, 000 from a Reno casino in the past few months. He said elements of the Ac cardo syndicate took over the place a few months ago. Fight in Eridence Furthermore, Peterson said yesterday, there is evidence that Accardo and Paul "The Waiter" Ricca are locked in a bitter fight to control the syndicate." Two re cent gangland slayings in Chi cago arep robable outgrowths of the struggle, he added. Peterson said Accardo and other mobsters recently have visited Reno, Las Vagas and Lake Tahoe. Some of them, he said, visited Can Francisco in August. Control Not Proven . Peterson, here to address the second annual Institute of Pub- blic Prosecutors, said he has no proof that the Fafia is in ab solute control of syndicated mob activities V : T " Rather, he said, - there are probably two or three major syndicates each with a sphere of influence. Some may have what he called "interlocking inter ests" with members of the Mafia. FBIfttrltt - Seccfial for coffee wefy time, aato- maticaUr. .

He turned and recognized Grace, whom he'd known well when she was appearing regularly here on television dramatic shows. She was grinning mischievously. Dresses Casually The slim, frosty beauty who wears clothes with the profes sional aplomb of a fashion model had on bobby socks, moccasins and a tan polo coat. She also wore glasses, as she usually does because of her "extreme near sightedness. Her toy French poodle, Oliver, a gift of Mrs. Cary Grant, wa? draped over one arm. It wasn't a disguise. That's just the casual way Miss Kelly pre fers to dress. Most of her social hours are spent with Oleg Cassini, well known dress designer who was married to actress Gene Tierney. That Hollywood trick of hers to avoid gossip by taking along a third person on all dates is strictly a West Coast ruse. She and Cassini go out unchaperon ed. -: ' r, . :."

Former Local Woman Passes in California News of the death of Mrs. Mar garet Price, 83, of Sacramento has been received here by her brother, Nick Kime, 511 Palm st. : : Mrs. Price, ' who was born on a farm near Bourbon, ' Ind., in 1870 came to Jackson county in 1872 and spent her girlhood on the Kime ranch in the Griffith creek area.

Her idea of a good time when she goes out in the evening is a quiet dinner in a good restau rant, and then either a movie or a few hours spent with old friends.'.--, Occasionally Grace invites Cassini and a few friends in for dinner, and cooks it herself. She is not .especially domestic, but she shows the same cool com petence in the kitchen that she does on a stage. Over and over again, when interviewers try to find out what this, girl thinks about her. suc cess, her future and her present, they run into a confusing wall of polite silence from Grace . and brief remarks from friends who are always complimentary, and always vague. v "I think she is pleased,'' a friend who rode with Grace to her latest movie premier here said doubtfully.
