Thursday, February 19, 1959 S MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. Rackets Probers Turn To Chicago Music Business Washington -UP&- The Sen ate Rackets Committee dug into the roots of the Chicago underworld today to take a look at joke box racketeer ing in the city where it may have been conceived. Some classic examples of gangsterism were expected to come to light in this phase of which will last about four days. 20 Relai Threats Chief Counsel Robert F. Kennedy said the inquiry would center on some of the top figures in the storied Chi cago underworld. He said these would include Sam (Mooney) Giancanna, reputed to be the latest successor to "the gangdom throne of Al Capone. Kennedy said witnesses would relate threats by mob sters to outfit juke box op erators with "cement boots" and drop them in the river. He said the testimony also would touch on often-heard ' rumors that underworld fig ures have helped the careers of their favorite singers with enforced sales of their rec ords. More Violence Involved Kennedy said the Chicago style of juke box rackeeter ing involved even more vio lence than that exposed dur ing the New York hearings, which closed Wednesday. He said it also included the now-familiar triangle or collusion among mobsters, un ion officials and leaders of juke box trade associations. The lead-off witnesses will be a group of operators, in cluding Don Maloney, Max Brier, Robert E. Lindeloff, Nicholas Galetano and Ber nard Poss. Kennedy said they would tell about efforts of Chicago gangsters to take over the juke box operations in out lying areas. Doctors Keep Eye i On Condition of General Marshall . Ft Bragg, N.C.-(DPD-Army doctors held hopes today that the condition of General of the Army George C. Mar shall was "stabilizing." The 78-year-old retired sol dier statesman, hospitalized here since Jan. 15, suffered second stroke earlier this week and was reported in erious condition. A medical bulletin late Wednesday said Marshall's condition "seems to be sta bilizing" but Col. George Powell said his prognosis was "guarded." Powell, chief of medicine at the Army's new Womack General Hospital here, told newsmen, "I hope the gener al's condition reverses itself instead of getting worse. If it stabilizes, chances of re covery are fairly good." Chance of Another Stroke He noted, however, that the fact that Marshall already has suffered two strokes makes the chances of another one greater. . Powell also reported that a "very mild pneumonia" had developed, practically concurrently with the second stroke which came sometime between late Monday ' and early Wednesday. He stress ed, however, that "right now the pneumonia is not" com plicating the general's, illness. The Wednesday bulletins said that, as was the case with the first stroke last month, there was no paralysis but that Marshall was experi , encing some difficulty in swallowing and in seeing in certain directions.
