A Justice Department spokesman said the informer, identified as Joseph Valachi of New York, has given de tails of how crime bosses op erate a web oi vice known as "Costa Nostra," or "Our Thing." He has been naming names and has pinpointed crime operations in 15 cities, the spokesman said. Valachi is expected to ap pear later this month before the Senate investigations sub committee. Details of what the Justice Department believes is a ma jor break in the war against organized crime were first disclosed Sunday in the Wash ington Star by reporter Mir iam Ottenberk. The Justice Department later confirmed the story. Serving Life Term Hie spokesman said Val achi, 60, who has a record dating back to 1918, is serv ing a life term for killing a fellow prisoner in Atlanta Federal Penitentiary when he mistakenly thought the man had been sent by the syndi cate to eliminate him. Valachi began talking in June of last year and has been under super-tight security since then to protect him from gangdom s executioners. His present whereabouts is a closely guarded secret. It is the deadly vengeance of organized crime upon the informer that has made crack ing the syndicates so diffi cult. Although 60 known gangsters were arrested al a plush rural home near Apa lachin, N.Y., Nov. 14, 1957 in what was known to be a sum mit conference on crime, none of the participants would tell officers any more than that they all happened to drop in on the host, the late Joseph Barbera, at the same time be cause he was ill. Now the Justice Depart ment says, Valachi has pro vided the first inside infor mation on the crime meeting at Apnlachin. He has told that the meeting was called by Vito Gcnovese, 66, whom he named as kingpin of the syn dicate, to gain support for plans to kill mobsters Frank Costcllo and Albert Anastasia and to fire a number of less er syndicate hirelings. Anastasia Killed Anastasia was shot lo death by professional gunmen n a Manhattan barber shop. Costcllo was wounded in the head in a New York hotel lobby but survived although he steadfastly refused to talk about the shooting. Gcnovese, 66, now Is serv- ng a 15-year sentence in the Atlanta prison but still sup ervises the syndicate, Valachi told the department. Cities named by the in former as crime centers are New York. Detroit, Buffalo, Philadelphia, Chicago, Bos ton, Providence, San Fran cisco, Los Angeles, Cleveland, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, New Orleans, Kansas City, Miami and several places in New Jersey, the justice spokesman said. Investigators were told that the "Cosa Nostra'' runs nar cnlics. gambling and loan shark operations, extorts from businesses and labor unions and invests the profits in legitimate businesses. It op erates on the old Mafia for mat and members are linked by blood oaths and family connections The Justice Department said Valachi was not in the lop echelon but ranked fairly high in the syndicate when he was arrested in November of 1959 on a narcotics charge. IWirtz, Railroad Industry Renew Rules Labor Secretary Has Suggestions For Settlement Washington - WPli -Railroad industry representatives met with Labor Secretary W. Wil lard Wirtz today in a renew ed attempt to settle the work rules dispute through collec tive bargaining. Wirtz called the meeting to discuss his "suggestions" for a settlement which would head off a nationwide strike now threatened for Aug. 29. Union representatives stood by to meet with Wirtz as soon as he completed his talk with the industry representatives. Meetings Held Intermittent meetings on the issue were held at the La bor Department Saturday and Sunday. A union spokesman said the sessions were design ed to "clarify" the suggestions advanced by Wirtz last Fri day. The spokesman said the sug gestions contained the labor secretary's ideas on the two main issues in the dispute -the necessity of a fireman aboard diesel locomotives and the composition of the crew on switching and yard trains. The spokesman said Wirtz suggested areas which might be the basis for renewed at tempts to negotiate a settle ment of these issues. Other sources cautioned, however, against hope for a quick set tlement of the dispute. An in dustry spokesman agreed with this appraisal. Kennedy's Proposal The railroads have taken the position thai only legisla tion can solve the dispute. President Kennedy has pro posed to Congress that the Interstate Commerce commis sion be made the arbiter but in testimony before the Sen ate Commerce committee, which concluded hearings last week, labor witnesses bela bored the proposal as compul sory arbitration and argued that collective bargaining still could save the day, Regional Edition Page 2A MEDFORD. feSC HP T T T"J T T VT MEDFORD, OREGON, MONDAY, AUGUST 5, 1963 1803 FREE STEAKS AT STAKE !
