I haven't talked .to Ke- fauver’s investigators, but I have made a study of ‘Florida gambling and here is the general picture he will find: Gambling in “he lush wimler sportingland c. Florida has heen divided among three gangs: A. The old Capone mob under William H. Johnston of Chi- cago and Jacksonville con- trols the dog races of the entire state. . The S. and G. syndicate, a group of local businessmen, control the bookmaking int Miami and Miami Beach. . The New York mob, under Meyer Lansky, an associate of Frankie Costello, operates in Broward County, north of Miami Beach. In order to preserve the millions in profits raked in from these areas, the gang subsidize the sher- iffs of their local counties and even the governor of Florida him- self. In fact, when the Chicago gang told the S. and G. syndicate to move over and let them in on part of the Miami bookmaking, the 8. and G. syndicate immediately appealed to the man it had helped elect to office, Dade County sher- iff Jimmy Sullivan. Dog-Racer Elected Governor Whereupon, the Chicago gang also fell back on the man it had helped elect to office, Gov. Fuller Warren. Dog-racer William Johnston, it de- veloped, had contributed the amaz- ing amount of $154,000 to Warren's primary eampaign, despite the fact that it was against the law at that time to contribute more than $5,G00 per person. After Warren was elected to office, of course, he goi the law changed Another $154,000 loaned to Warren by Louis E. Wolf- son of Jacksonville, also in viola- tion of the $5,000 limit. Governor Warren has now founc himself betw and between in tii war of gamblers, and the Kefauver crime committee wants to find out what the gamblers get in return for their stupendous campaign gifts was given anc Pennsylvanians No Pikers Meanwhile, in another part of the U. S, other sizable campaign gifts have been revealed in the good old Republican state of Penn- sylvania. This time gamblers were not the contributors, but big man- ufacturers.

But in Washington, Senator Gil- | lette did not seem much interested in these big contributions. He sent Fielding Wright, Jr., son of the Mississippi Dixiecrat governor, to Pennsylvania to probe the big dough shelled out by the manu- facturers, but it was learned that Wright chiefly paid a social call on the Pennsylvania Secretary of State. ! i Gillette Prefers Sccuts Asked what young Wright had done in Pennsylvania, Gillette said he didn’t know. “Aren’t you the chairman?” senator was asked. “Of course, but I don't keep track of every detail,” said Gilletle, and reached for his hat. “As a matter of fact,” the sen ator was reminded, “all Fielding Wright did in Pennsylvania was {to pick up the information that was available in the Secretary of State’s office You could have gotten just as much by writing a letter.” “No, he got more information than that,” insisted Gillette. “What is Wright's background as an investigator?” the senator was asked. “I don't know.” “Didn't you study his qualifica- before hiring him?” Sure,” shot back the igain reaching for his hat. “Then how much experience has 1e had?” “I'm just not going to give you hat information.” “Isn't it true that Wright rmll; pends most of his time in lht' sffice of Senator Stennis of Miss- ssippi rather than being out jn the field investigating campaign expenditures?” This time the senator not only got his hat, but ducked through the door and began walking rapidly down the corridor of the Senate ffice building. “The senator,” sistant, “has to scouts.” That the tio! senator explained his as- meet some Boy perhaps, explains the type »f handshaking likable Guy Gil- ette prefers at a time when nuch as $1,500,000 has been spent n one primary to elect a man to 1 job paying only $12,500. Maybe Sillette thinks Boy Scouts are more important, but the voters, when finally wake up to what's go- on, probably won't. ng ELL RETURNS CASTERN TRIP Lloyd Connell, of the Harry Race | Drug store, returned to Juneau re- cently after a month's trip to Chi-| cago, Towa and a visit with a brother in California.
