Heart Attack Jake 'Greasy CHICAGO (UPI Jake (Greasy Thumb) Guzik, Al Capone's righthand man and onetime "King of the Gamblers," died like the respectable businessman he longed to be last night. The pudgy, sad-fa,ced gang lord died quietly in his bed at his South Side home. A coroner's of ficial said it was a natural death, apparently caused by a heart attack. It was a placid end for a man who never carried a gun, but sel dom took a stroll through the Loop with less than $1000 In his pockets. But the 69-year-old underworld veteran would have wanted it that way. Greasy Thumb had spent his last years trying to achieve re spectability. But his record and the Chicago police wouldn't let. nun. His last brush with the law came only Inst week, when he sued the Police Department for $50,000 on grounds of false arrest. Insurance Man Speaks To Woman's Group A discussion of the new all phys ical loss and broad form fire in surance coverages was given Tues day night by A. E. Hearn, Port land branch manager of the Gen. eral Adjusting Bureau, at a dinner meeting of the Insurance Women's Association of Klamath Falls.

The last pickup, and the one that made him go to court, was for questioning about the Dec. 8 murder of another financial "brain" of the Capone gang. Alex (Louie) Greenberg. Greasy Thumb was also trying to get his old enemy, the law, to lorcc people to recognize him as a gentleman sportsman. He was a stockholder of the Arlington Park Race Track, he complained, but the track officials barred him from the place. The flabby little mobster filled Al Capone's need for a business manager who could get tough. He took over the mob when CaDone was out of town and also Tilled in as controller of suburban vice and gambling and as the man who made sure that Capone's boys stayed out of prison. Capone and Greasy Thumb both went to prison on income tax evasion charges in 1930, It was the end of the line for Capone, who later died of paresis, but Guzik came back after three years as temporary top dog of the Capone gang. In 1951. Greasy Thumb was still important enough to play a star ring role before the Kefauver crime Investigating committee. His performance was outstanding because he managed to say little. i rso wit '"" ooiios svvwvv Stock Liquidation I Sale Now in Progress ' Art-Needlework ! 412 Moin Ne Ph.

Jimmy Smith Ends Fourth Year In Complete Coma DEMfNQ, N, M. Jimmy Smith. 20. Is nearlnt the end of his fourth year of "living death." Once a strapping high school student, he has been in a com plete coma since March 30, 1,952. On that day he suffered a se vere brain injury in an auto acci dent. Except for reflex automatic movements, he has not moved his head, legs or arms since. Doctors here say he is now in one of the longest complete comas in history. His case is also considered one of the strangest. Other people have been in long comas, but their functions have been main tained on higher levels. They can often see or move. All Jimmy's thoughts and ac tions have been erased. He is fed water and nourishment just like a plant. Brain specialists throughout the nation have not been able to offer any hope or suggestion for a cure. No doctor knows how long he can go on. , The Jimmy Smith story began here when his car turned over on him. He was taken to the hospital practically dead. For more than 48 hours it was a question whether he would live. Surgeons found the cerebral cor tex shattered, with the .brain stem automatically sustaining life. He is in "excellent health" de spite his paralysis, and feels none of. the emotions of pleasure, anger or hunger. Once an angular, blond youth of 16, at 20 he's a baby-faced bru nette with the appearance of a 10-year-old. Milk is the main part of his diet. In addition, he is fed baby meats, baby vegetables, soft drinks, beer and water. "Our greatest problem Is his temperature control," his doctor says. At first his temperature soared to 107. Now it hovers be tween 97 and 102. Nurses control It with warm blankets or cool fans, depending on its variations. He suffers no mental pains. Jab bing him with a medical needle only results in baslo reflex actions as commonly seen In experimental animals that have had their brains severed. INNKEEPER TULELAKH Clyde Skelton, pro nrletor of The Inn, south of Tule. lake. Is at home from Klamath Valley Hospital where he recently submitted to amputation of both feet. Mr. Skelton s condition has become worse since November finally resulting In surgery.
