The Argentine Maffia leaders, imprisoned after a, sensational na- tipn-wide chase Tfour years ago, had applied for a reduction of their sentence from eight to four years. For many years, Juan Galiffi (known to the organization as ®“Ghico Grande,” chief of the Maf- fia) was a respected and wealthy member of society in Rosario, Ar- gentina's second city. His beauti- ful daughter, Agata (The Flower of the Maffia), married«into a re- spected family, Juan’s position in the Maffia was even less suspected because of his warm personal friendship with Benito Mussolini, sworn enemy of the Maffia and its 1 exterminator in Italy. Argentine newspapers Maffia ran criminal throughout * Arg ina for years, specializing in blackmail, counter- feiting, bank robbery and murder. Finally, in 1940 Galiffi and his daughter rented a house diagon- ally acro: the street from the Bonk of the Province of Tucuman. Fgom the cellar of this house the a tunnel 250 feet to buszowed to a spot the vault. Instead say the activities of ‘simply runningiro[f“wm{ tl;e as the perpetraiors, the Malffia planned to substitute the provinctal treasury and the bank’s funds with an equal amount of its own coun- terfeit bills. It was planned that the theft should not be immediate- 1y discovered and that when it was, it should look like an “inside” job. Unfortunately for Galiffi, a big, heavy watchman pounding his beat stepped on a spot directly over the tunnel several night before the scheduled switch of currency. The tunnel caved in and the plot was discovered. The Galiffis fled with the police hot on their trail. Using planes, launches, railroads and - private autos, the Maffia leaders scattered, but were tracked down. The Flower of the Maffia almost gained her freedom a year ago when, dressed as a nun, she reach- ed the front door of the jail before being recognized. Police are still trying to prove the Maffia’s participation in a score of major crimes but Argentines refuse to “sing. Many of them, of Italian descent, know that the Maffia code imposes . obligations “never to apply for justice to the legally constituted authorities.” — .- From 1780 to 1928, the Vatican was the property of the Italian gov- ernment. money, which would expose them4 Sovm pRESS ‘N ' LOUD PRAISE-OF U. 5.
