He spoke particularly of bombing, for he himself narro Iy escaped death when a bomb was tessed at him a few wee bhefore the primary election last April. The “immense revenue collacted by organized crime” is in the state’s wttorney’s opinion, the principal ob- stacle in Chicago to law enforce- ment.
