° PAGE FOUR” * **" a i ne MANHATTAN EDITOR Chapter 11 j ee ILL O’REILLY paced restless- ‘ ly back and forth, wagging his fat forefinger at Jean: Saunders and Harry Hawkins. “Sure the Biarritz and Castillo are gambling joints,” he conceded, after Hawkins had told him of his findings. “But you -can’t get .the Mayor to raid them on some delicatessen owner’s say-so!” “Why not?” Hawkins demand- ed. “I didn’t just hear it from Shapiro. He was the first: one to tip me off, but a half.a dozen people in show business have told me about it since.” “Listen”. said O’Reilly patient- ly. “Those joints are running be- cause some police big-shots are getting theirs. In their district, the protection’s air-tight. Let them get just gne hint of a raid and zing!—they pass the word to the joints and all the evidence is ducked, buried so deep a subway cop couldn’t dig it out.” Jean, who had joined with Bill and Harry for a strategy confer- ence after they had learned of the gambling joints, listened grayely, commenting: “It’s logical to expect the crooked cops to protect their little gold mine—but how about the honest cops in, that district?” O’Reilly snorted derisively. “Fat chance they’d have, with the captain and inspector on the gamblers’ payroll!” he said hus- kily. “One peep out of them and they’d be stuck so far out in the woods they’d have to commute in B-29s!” “How about the Mayor?” Jean asked. “You’ve said he’s out to stop gambling.” “Of course he is, my dear, of course,” O’Reilly conceded with elaborate courtesy. “But he can’t just put on a blue suit and ham- mer down their front doors with a borrowed night-stick. He’s got to act through the commissioner.” “Where does the police commis- sioner stand on all this, anyhow?” Hawkins inquired. ' “Right with the Mayor — and against the rackets. But he can’t hit those joints without telling the district inspector. unless he wants Some Prefer | Old English | Biblical Text By PAUL L. NORTON Mayville, N. Y. % In .regard to the “Sermon of * Chris*.” published in the Keg ' West Citizen on Saturday, Dec: 6. some people Jike the old. Eng-! lish Biblical. language because they ‘are used to it, or, find it “beautiful’, If remembering that in the long (run, nothing is much, more beautiful“than it is helpful, we still adhere to it as being clever, then yea verily I say unto ye, “Fine.” , ’ ‘ But let’s be honest and not do} so by reason of creating an at-:! mosphére of pomp and circum- stance, which does not ring true to the vast majority. Certainly, ) Jesus spoke in the language of His time and region, though, * perhaps, the guardians of the “Temple” or “Church” did not. This American translation from the Greek manuscripts, with mi- nor changes, offered as improve- ments, carries the suggestion that anyone or any group, wish- ing to reproduce it or to try to improve it, may do so, the above, of course, was not reached with- out hundreds of hours cf re- search and _ redrafting. The Bible contains many pas- sages—both valuable ones and ones which are almost useless and a few that are so valuable, so simple, basic, sound, everlast- | ing, that even a poor (unlettered) man’s efforts to clarify them will not harm or distort them, if he is thoughtful. Such passages rest in the hands of the “great numbers of | people who hear the Son of Man gladly”, rather than of special castes or classes of instructors. As Jesus aid, “A Time is coming when everyone will get to know God, directly, and there will noi be people called rabbi (priest or minister)”. That is, that those who minister will be among the people, rather than over them or distinct from them. He does noi! believe in a burden of many spc-! cial observances, “grievous to be borne”. The main thing about | this sermon, also First Corinthians 13. the 23rd Psalm, etc., is to know and study them and try to live! them. WILL YOU SMILE?

O’Reilly affected a long-suffer- ing look. - “It’s not quite that simple. Think about the departmental politics involved. If he hits those spots and finds nothing, he’s made a donkey of himself after going over the district inspector’s head. If he does make a big pinch, he’s got to clean house in that entire district; boot out the; whole dis- trict command, neck’ and crop.” He sat down heavily, his broad figure filling an upholstered wing chair in Hawkins’ apartment liv- ing room. He folded his hands across his ample paunch with an air of resignation and finality. “That’s the situation” he de- clared. “If you can get enough evidence to convince the Mayor, he’ll order the raids. But he-won’t stick his neck out like an exten- sion ladder to chase rumors, That’s not good politics; it’s not even ordinary horse sense.” “We'll grant you thit,” Jean admitted. “The question is, where do we go from here?” O’Reilly looked abstractedly:in- to space for a moment, then he spoke decisively: “It seems to me you've got to back up every detail of your story. Get the layout of the clubs, find out the names of everyone connected with them—especially the racket boys who are putting up the jack to promote the lay- out. Talk to merchants and store- keepers in the neighborhood, if you can swing it without tipping your hand. Find out the. hours those joints operate. You can probably dig up some bird who’s a good enough actor to worm his way into the gambling rooms and find out how much dough the cus- tomers are tossing to the wolves.” “Harry and I can arrange that in a few days,” Jean said. “But we've got to be careful about the man we pick to make that inside investigation; if he’s a newspa- perman, Dawson might spot him and tip off the owners.” “Right”, O’Reilly agreed. “Daw- son’s: got some kind of an angle in this racket. And don’t forget, if any of that mob gets wise to your investigator, he’s apt to come out of one of those ‘sucker traps look- ing. like some guy who's been caught out without an umbrella. | ih, in a shower of scrap-iron.” | _-_ He paused to summarize: : - “When we've got our case com- plete, we can. get together and present it directly to the Mayor. I'm ‘pretty certain I: can’ -per- suade the Mayor to keep the: case hushed up until we’ve had the first whack.” : ye ba the next few days, Hawkins compiled-a dossier on the Chez Biarritz and the, Cafe ~ Castillo, with Jean aiding him<in all: the hours she could spare from work and sleep. He pevmuaces two'char- acter actors he had known for years to pose as wealthy gamblers. and: obtain’ “membership” ‘cards to the gambling rooms of both places. To maintain the pose, they needed money, and Hawkins fur- nished it generously, risking it on the hope of a major’ exclusive story. “We've got our case in shape,” he told Jean finally, when they had combined ‘their notes. .“Now we've got to: make the ‘Mayor come through, or Pl) be in hock for a year!” “That’s more like it,” comment- ed O'Reilly when they had. pre- sented the full facts to:‘him. “But there’s one thing more: can you think of a particular night when the raid would be especially prof- itable? You' know—lots of famous names involved, big crowd, and so forth.” “How about next Friday night?” Jean asked. “We've got a flock of reports on a special ‘Casino ‘Party’ for stage:and screen stars, Friday night at both clubs: They hold them once a‘month.”» “That’s the ticket!” « O’Reilly chortled, slapping his thi: “Now we'll pay the: Mayor a hie ‘ “We'll raid those plaWs. next Friday,” the Mayor told them at the conclusion of the: meeting. “We've got to keep absolute’ se- crecy until then, and for my part I'll guarantee to do just:that.” He looked grimly determir-ed.. “This is one racket I’ve been after since I entered office—and I intend‘to hit those gamblers with every- thing in the book.” - (Te be continued) The Citizens Food Committee Suggests: CHICKEN SALAD 2 cups cooked chicken Juice 14 lemon 1 to 2 cups diced celery Salad dressing or mayonnalse Lettuce Remove skin and fat from pieces]. of stewed chicken and cut in % inch cubes or in strips.
