T.Men Ignore Mob The puouc has the idea that modern racketeers are extremely careful in making out their income- tax returns, in' order to avoid what happened to Al Capone. That, how- ever, is by no means the case. In the first place, the gangsters op- erate on a strictly cash basis. Se- cond, Internal Revenue makes no great effort to check on gambling profits. Though Treasury field agents are honest and diligent, at least one potent official inside the Treasury has shied away from going after the taxes of modern day racketeers; and this columnist has too many headaches at the moment to risk a libel suit by naming him. However, it remains a fact that while the average taxpayer sits up nights trying not to forget any part of his income, the big gangsters fill out blanket returns which obviously are underestimates They give no source for their re- venue other than “self-speoula-} tion,” “wagering,” or just plain “income,” and they estimate their profit at just about whatever they want to- make it. I have spent a lot of time ha\--\ ing an ex-Internal Revenue agent\ familiar with Chicago’s gangland‘ dig into Fischetti’s returns. Gu-\ ing back over the years, theSe re- turns are all vague. In 1947, he| chalked up a meagre income of | ...16,500, again attributing it to “gelf-speculation.” Yat it seems . inconceivable that racketeer with s0 many irons in the fire in so many different parts of the US.A. should make so little money. In 1946, Fischetti was equally! vague, claiming even less income— | only $13,500. In 1945, it was still less—$10,700—while in 1944 it was $9,500. 229 Club In 1943, however, Fischetti was more specific. He listed $966.25 from | the 229 Club and another $9,000 which he attributed to “sundry wagering.” The 229 Club, located at 229 South Wabash Avenue, Chi- cago, was a favorite hangout for hoodlums and was where big Gus| Winkler of the St. Louis rats was killed. Fischetti showed that he believed in enforcing the law on at least one occasion in 1942 \nhen‘ he and his brother Joe, with Paul de Lucia Rica, got caught in a rall<1 ing elevator in the building at 229 | Wabash. The gangsters sued the| owner of the building because of | the elevator accident, and collected. | should be noted, is suspiciously small for a gangster who lived as| lavishly as Charlie Fischetti in the war boom years of 1943. | | Ralph Capone, have do.:a little about the Though chiecking on profits clubs. the of gumbling have access to “E‘Alzskvx" Bas velo; thwester: been s series planned by the T Board. A report on * already pooks, the U. S. Treasury has not; | Figld-work has. been completed for aken "tHE 'troublé to post men in| gambling casinos at the time the’ money is counted—which is after business closes every night. Managers of the big gambling es- tablishments are careful watchers in rooms above the rou- lette wheels to look down through holes in the ceilings and make.sure no money is stolen by ‘the casino’s own employees. But the Treasury, which could increase its take by millions, has not yet bothered to count the thousands raked in at the close of a casino’s business. This is one of the quickest source of revenue available to Uncle Sam at a time when the rest of the American people are going to dig deeper into their tax pockets than ever before. Fischetti’s Record Fischetti's police record shows he was ‘arrested April 30, 1926, with for questioning about the killing of three men— McSwiggan, Doherty and Duffy: in Cicero, Ill. They were discharg- ed on a habeas corpus and tumedichjknu are stopping at the Baranof |a Pan American mail plane Hotei over to Federal .authorities in con- nection with a machine gun found in Ralph Capone'’s apartment. On Dec. 26, 1928, Fischetti was arrested again for carrying a con- cealed weapon, Jan, 22, 1929. On Nov. 1, 1932, he was arrested with Murray Hum- phreys and other mobsters for ques- tioning about labor rackets. On Jan. 8, 1933, Fischetti finally received a one-year sentence and $300 fine for carrying a concealed weapon. One July 22, 1943, he was arrested for disorderly conduct; on Oct. 9, 1944, he was arrested in a gamb- ling investigation by Cook County Highway Police; and on Feb. 14, 1945, he was arrested again for di orderly conduct. At present, Fischetti is reported in Acapulco, Mexico, sunning him- self on the beach until the Ke- fauver crime committee loses inter- est in him. It's quite a life if you can get away with it. ©C BUSI An important meeting of the Ju- neau Chamber of Commerce Is announced for tomorrow by Pr i-‘ dent Herbert Rowland.
