(By lssmci,',1 I 'Yrs)
CHICAGO, Jan. l. -"ipe iblii
enemy" business in Ch:a; a)ppcar:
to be getting incresui;tiy prccay
ious.
Harassed by tin' m;ov -tmient
campaign against P'c1vc tax vio-
lators, by the prosection of old
charges and by gangland bullets,
the city's "public enemy" list of
"active" members has been steadily
decreasing since its issuance last
April 23 by the Chicago crime com-
mission.
Since the list was published al-
most all of the original 28 major
"enemies" have felt the wrath of
the law in one form or another,!
Ralph Capone, brother of "Scarface
Al" Capone, and Jack Guzik, busi-
ness manager for the Capone gang
are both under sentence to federal
prison for income tax violations
while others are awaiting trial (n
government and other charges.
Three Are Gun Victims.
Three have fallen before the gun-
fire of their gangland opponents,
namely, Jack Zuta, a north-side
henchman of George "Bugs" Mo-
ran, slain in a Wisconsin lake resort
shortly after the killing of Alfred
Lingle, Tribune reporter, last sum-
mer; Joseph Aiello, who walked
into a machine gun ambush in Chi-
cago several months ago, and James
Belcastro, reputed "king pin" of
Chicago bombers, who was shot and
dangerously wounded the other
night on a busy Chicago thorough-
fare.
The latest of the "public enemies"
to get into close contact with the
law was Terry Druggan, beer baron.
Druggan, who is reputed to have
been worth a million dollars at one
time, was sentenced Wednesday to
a year in jail for contempt of court
when he came before Judge John
I. Lyle, whose attitude toward
gangsters has won him widespread
attention. Later he was released on;
bond by another judge.
Failed to Appear.
The contempt charge grew out
of Druggan's failure to appear on
a vagrancy charge. He was pictured
by the defense as a sick man, bul
got no sympathy from the cot.
Druggan also has been the object
of federal prosecution, having re-
cently pleaded guilty to an income
tax violation charge.
Other actions against "public ene-
mies" have already been taken or
are under way. Tony "Mops" Volpe,
a Capone bodyguard, is under sent-
ence for vagrancy and carrying
concealed weapons. Frankie Rio,
another Capone henchman, has
been sentenc'd for contempt of
court, carrying concealed weapons
and vagrancy. Roeco Fanelli, al-
leged election terrorist, is 'under
arrest in connection with the Bel-
castro shooting. The government is
seeking Volpe's deportation.
PROFESSOR WOOD
HITS CRIME GROUP
Sociologist Voices Disapprov j
of Tcmporary Commissions.
Mild disapprovai of the tempor-
ary state crime commission in its
failure to determine the primary or
moving cause of crime, as an-
nounced recently, was voiced yes-
terday by Prof. Arthur E. Wood,
sociology department criminologist.
Professor Wood did not attack
the work of the particular commis-
sion, but rather the whole idea of,
temporary organizations for the
purpose of studying weighty public
questions.
"Temporary commissions that!
spend a great deal of the public's
money and make merely transient
studies never stay with any im-
portant question long enough to
glean the whole facts," Professor
Wood stated. "I am heartily in
accord with the recommendation of
the temporary body that a per-
manent commission to study crime
should be creatdd in Michigan,
although I doubt whether such a
committee will be formed."
Professor Wood mentioned that
the suggestions made by the tem-
porary commission for the purpose
of curbing crime, including a psy-
chiatric clinic at Jackson prison,
permanent grand juries in the
larger counties, and stiffer penal-
ties for "racketeers," were all good
ones, although he added that most,
"racketeers" were already gettingI

NE reason why my ELECTROCHEF
is so economical is the set of Mirro-

remarkably. They make cooking one-th i

This seven-piece set of heavy-duty Mirro-aluminum, included with every

for a cboking operation is reduced by about the same amount.
