Broader laws Asked To Help Fight Crime !Police Find Niece
WASHINGTON UPI - Atty.
Gen. Robert F. Kennedy called
on Congress today to approve two
new weapons against crime im
munity for witnesses in racket-,
eering investigations and a broad
er federal wire-tap law.
The attorney general was the,
lead-off witness in the Senate in-,
vestigations subcommittee's long
awaited hearings on the so-called
"Cosa Nostra" underworld crime
empire.
The star witness at the hear-i
ings, expected to last about three
weeks, will he Joseph Valachi,
the underworld's most celebrated
stool pigeon. Valachi is said to
have called the turn on about 30
gangland slayings and to have
been marked for murder himself
by the Cosa Nostra.
Kennedy told the subcommittee
there existed in the United States
"a private government of organ
ized crime, a government with an
annual income of billions, resting
on a base of human suffering and
moral corrosion."
He said that it was particular
ly difficult to expose these oper
ations because witnesses were in
timidated and corrupt public offi
cials protect Uie racketeer king
pins.
Code It Broken
Kennedy said Valachi's disclo
sures were significant because
"(or the first time an insider
a knowledgeable member of the
racketeering hierarchy has bro
ken the underworld's code of silence."
Authority to provide immunity
to witnesses would "materially
assist our investigations of inter
state racketeering in gambling
liquor, narcotics, prostitution, ex
tortion and bribery" and also
help root out political corruption,
Kennedy said.
He said the need for a broad
er federal wire-tap law arose be
cause "leading racketeers make
almost unrestricted use of inter
state facilities, particularly com
munications, to direct their ille
gal activities."
Kennedy said the present wire
tap law not only "fails to protect
the right of privacy over the tele
phone," but also does not recog
nize "the legitimate needs of law
enforcement for authority, closely
circumscribed, to use this means
of gathering evidence."
Must Arouse Public
Most of all, Kennedy said, "we
must encourage, arouse and sus
tain the vigilance of the public...
organized crime is a national
problem. The racketeer is not
someone dressed in a black shirt,
white tie and diamond stickpin,
whose activities affect only a re
mote underworld circle.
"He is more likely to be out
fitted in a grey flannel suit and
his influence is more likely to be
as far-reaching as that of an im
portant industrialist."
The attorney general said that
federal investigative agencies
were now pooling information on
more than 1,100 major racket
eers. He said that a meeting such
the 1957 Apalachin, N.Y.,
"crime convention" of more than
100 top gangsters could not take
place unobserved today.
Kennedy said Valachi and other
informants had outlined the set
up of Cosa Nostra (literally "our
family" or "our thing") and its
ruling "commission."
Predicts Power Struggle
He predicted the bloody onset
of "a major underworld power
struggle in New York" if Cosa
Nostra kingpin Vito Genovcse
fails to win release from federal
prison on his appeal from a nar
cotics conviction.
He said that in the past two
years at least three carefully
planned commission meetings
had to be called off because the

Headers learned the Justice De
partment and the FBI had tin
jeovercd their plans.
The attorney general said that
one of the commission's principal
problems at present was the
question of whether to intercede
in the Gallo-Profaci family gang
land war in New York, which
since 11 has seen five persons
murdered and 13 others seriously
injured.
He said that Joseph Magliocco,
who has taken over as successor
jto the lale Joseph Profaci, "has
not been confirmed by the com-
jmission and probably will not be.
this Is despite the fact that Mag
liocco recently sought the support
of commission members Angelo
i Bruno and Steve Maggadino."
I Kennedy said that while Gcno-
vese is in prison Tommy Eboli
is substituting for him in New
York and Gerry Catena is doing
the same in New Jersey ... Be
cause ot the power Genovesc
wielded within the organization
and the fear in which he is held
by the New Ygrk organization.
no move has been made to take
over the top spot while his ap
peal of narcotics conviction is
pending in the courts." I

Salinas, 23, a transient farm work
er, was convicted in Polk County
Circuit Court Tuesday of man
slaughter in the death July 13 of
Joseph Washington, 61.
Circuit Judge Arhe Walker sen
tenced Salinas to 15 years in the
state penitentiary and fined him

mitted the shooting and left the
determination of the degree of
guilt to Judge Walker.
DES MOINES, Iowa. UPI -A
young niece of princess Grace
of Monaco awaited a trip back
to Philadelphia today after a se
cret, three-week stay in Dcs
Moines with her boy friend.
Police took in custody Mary
Lee Davis, 15, and John Paul
Jones Jr., 18, both of Philadel
phia, Tuesday night after the
boy's employer tipped them off.
Miss Davis, whose mother, Mrs.
Mary Davis Conlin, is a sister
of Princess Grace, had been
working as a waitress in the
Randolph Hotel.
Jones, the son of an architect,
had been selling encyclopedias.
The couple had been living in
a m o d e s t furnished apartment.
Their 1 a n d 1 a dy, Mrs. Evelyn
Schmidt, said they were a "very
quiet couple," and had caused
no trouble.
Police said Miss Davis and
Jones declined to say whether
they were married.
Miss Davis, who disappeared
Aug. 28 from the Ocean City,
N. J., summer home of her ma
ternal grandmother, Mrs. John
B. Kelly, said that whether she
would stay at home when she
was returned there "depends on
what happens."
She would not elaborate. Jones,
smiling, answered "no comment"
to all questions.
Mrs. Conlin asked police not to
file charges.
The parents of both Miss Davis
and Jones were flying to Dcs
Moines today.
Police said James Waldon, Des
Moines manager for an encyclo
pedia firm, told them Tuesday
night he had a young man in his
employ whose "wife" closely
matched a newspaper picture of
the missing girl.

Fireworks Blast
In Italy Kills 14
CASERTA, Italy (UPD - An
illegal fireworks factory blew up
in the heart of this southern Italian
town Tuesday, killing at least 14
persons and injuring 20 others at
least nine seriously.
The injured included Antonio
Mariniello, 57, the factory owner,
who was reported in critical con
dition in a Naples hospital.
Mariniello s factory was just
across the main square from the
town hall.
Since the middle of the 19th
century, the average length of
life in the United States has in
creased about 29 years.
OXFORD, Miss. (UPI The
University of Mississippi today
returned to "all white" status.
The university's only Negro
student, Cleve McDowell, 21, was
expelled Tuesday for carrying a
pistol. The action, taken on the
recommendation of the student
Judicial Council, returned to the
Deep South state its unique sys
tem of totally segregated public
schools.
McDowell had been admitted to
"Ole Miss" without incident last
June.
The university was descgreated
under federal court order the pre
vious year and paved the way (or
the entrance of the school's fjrst
Negro student, James H. Mere
dith on Aug. 31, 1962.
Meredith's admission touched
of rioting that killed two persons
and brought out federal troops to
enforce the integration of the
school. Meredith graduated last
June.
No public grade schools have
been integrated in Mississippi,
the only state with no racially
mixed classrooms.
Can Appeal Expulsion
McDowell, who lives in the Mis
sissippi delta town of Drew, could
appeal his expulsion to the Stale
College Board but it is unlikely
the board which fought long
and hard to keep the school seg
regated would by sympathetic
to his case.
McDowell faces a hearing on a
charge of carrying a concealed
weapon in a justice of the peace
court here Saturday but says he
is not "certain" he will show up.
"As far as I know I will be
there but I have not conferred
fully with my attorneys," he told
United Press Internationa. "Nat
urally, I will follow the advice of
my counsel.
The charge carries a maximum
penalty of 90 days in jail plus a
$100 fine. McDowell could forfeit
the $250 bond his attorney posted
for him before he was released
from jail Tuesday.
After the university's decision
was announced, McDowell told
nwsmen, "I have no emotion to
express whatsoever at this time."
He said he would have no further
statements until after Saturday's
hearing.
Packs And Leaves
McDowell, an honor graduate of
Jackson State College (or Ne
groes, packed up and left the
campus immediately after he was
notified of his expulsion.
Nearly 200 students gathered in
front of the campus cafeteria and
watched his departure in silence.
Campus police would not allow
newsmen to talk to McDowell at
the university but he was ques
tioned briefly at a service station
where he stopped for gasolone.
McDowell was jailed Monday by
Lafayette (Oxford) County Sheriff
Joe Ford after several students
reported they saw a small, 22-
caliber pistol fall from the Ne
gro's coat when he stooped to
pick up sunglasses he had
dropped. '
Although university officials
have said McDowell admitted
carrying the we a p o n, he has
neither confirmed nor denied it
publicly.
