Prohibition Return
As National Issue
Predicted by 1965
Loma Linda, Calif. (UPI)
Return of prohibition as a
national issue is predicted by
Dr. Andrew C. Ivy of the Uni
versity of Illinois.
In fact, he had these words
of advice Monday for politi
cians who would like to win
tiQada and get elected to
office:
"If you want to be success
ful in 1965, campaign on a
prohibition platform."
Bated on Surrey
Ivy, chairman of the Na
tional Committee for the Pre
vention of Alcoholism, based
his conclusions on a survey
of trends over a 73-year pe
riod. He said prohibition sen
timent sweeps the nation
about every 35 years.
W a v e s of unparalleled
drunkenness always precede
the waves of prohibition sen
timent," he told the ninth an
nual Institute of Scientific
Studies for the Prevention of
Alcoholism meeting on the
campus of the College of
Medical Evangelists.
"America has reached such
a point of consumption of al
coholic beverages that the na
tion must choose between na
tional ruin and prohibition,"
Ivy said.
He warned if present trends
continue:
There will be one or two
severe alcoholics in every
family by 1966.
There will be nine to 10
million alcoholics in the Unit
ed States by 1956.
Higher Crime Rat Seen
America's crime rate,
both juvenile and adult, will
continue to reach appalling
levels.
California will continue
to have the highest rate of
alcoholism among the 48
states, with the figures rising
from 597,450 in 1958 to near
ly 700,000 by 1956.
A national education pro
gram on alcohol was seen by
Ivy as a means of solving
what he described as a grow
ing menace.

Sees 'Acceptable' Bill
Senate Democratic Leader
Lyndon B. Johnson (Texas)
a member of the Appropria
tions Committee, predicted
Monday the Senate would re
store part of the House "cut
and Congress eventually
would work out an "accept
able" bill.
However such critics of the
program as Sen. Allen J. El
lender (D-La.) also a commit
tee member, remained out
spoken in opposition.
Ellender said he felt there
still was plenty of room in
the bill for cutting. Also he
said the administration must
learn "that they cannot re
ceive what they want by
merely crying wolf .".
The committee, headed by
Sen. Carl Hayden (D-Ariz.)
expects to hold hearings for
about 10 days.

Capone Hoodlums in
Chicago Area Unions
Crime Director Says
Washington (UPI) Virgil
Peterson, director of the Chi
cago Crime Commission, told
the Senate Rackets Commit
tee today that Capone gang
hoodlums have infiltrated "in
numerable" unions in the Chi
cago area.
Peterson specifically men
tioned Local 593 of the Hotel
and Restaurant Workers Un
ion, one of the main groups
now being investigated by the
committee.
Gangsters also have had a
hand in the operation of the
taxi driver, juke box and
electric workers unions, he
testified.
First Witnesses
Petersen and Detective Lt.
George Butler of the Dallas,
Tex., Police Department were
the first witnesses as the com
mittee opened a new hearing
on mobster influence in labor-management
relations in
the restaurant business in
Chicago.
Peterson testified that three
of the present officers of Lo
cal 593 were closely linked
with the Capone mob. He
identified them as James
Blakely, secretary - treasurer
of the local and a vice presi
dent of the parent union;
John Lardino, administrative
director, and Daniel Lardino,
a business agent.
Butler testified that Daniel
Lardino' was active in an at
tempt by Chicago racketeers
to take over an $18 million
rackets empire in Dallas in
the 1940s.
Butler indicated the move
failed because the Texans
proved too tough for the Chi
cago crew. When a Chicagoan
started making trouble, he
said, "one of those Texas boys
would peel his head."
Butler also advanced the

wounded, it was disclosed today.
theory that failure . of the
Texas venture led to the gang
land slaying of Nick De John
who was found dead in San
Francisco with a wire around
his neck.
Butler said De John at the
time was a sort of "judge" of
underworld disputes and ar
ranged to underwrite the cost
of the move into the South
west. He said mobster Marcus
Lipsky and his associates in
Texas lost a good deal of
money which De John was
unable to make good.
"We knew a few weeks
of time that he was going
to get killed," Butler said.
" Regardless of their respectable-appearing
fronts in labor
and business, Peterson said,
"Hoodlums still remain hood
lums. They still know only
one law and that's the law
of the jungle."
