London, Jan. 7. —(U.R)— Another European nation has forsaken democracy in favor of one-man leadership. The seizure by King Alexander of Jugoslavia for supieine power in th.:', country makes him the first modern crowned dictator and is another step in the post-war disintegration of Democratic parliinontary government in Europe. The process has been going . n for the last ten year:;, so th.it approximately seven-tenths of Europe bus Hbtfogated parlimeni.ary .) verntnent for some form of personal distator ship In effect, the answer seems to bo that the European des not want to rule, but rather be ruled. Erance, England and Get many still hold to popular government, but Italy, Spain and liuseia, Hungary, Turkey, Bulgaria, Raumanlu, Poland, Albania and now Jugo-Slavla have turned fa a dictator ship or emi-dictatorshlp.

CHICAGO HEIGHTS SCENE OF RAIDS Federal And County Officials Start Cleanup At Birthplace Os Gangland Chicago, Jan. 7. —(U.R>— Chicago Heights, built by steel and demoralized by alcohol, awoke today to find its leading gangsters in jail, its police department under fire and its entire local government temporarily dispossessed by a combination of federal and county authorities. in the most spectacular raid in tne history of Illinois, the town of 25,000 inhabitants, birthplace of gangland and scene of scores of gang murders, was virtually sacked by 12 squads of Chicago police and 100 federal agents who swept through its business and residential districts seeking the fountain heads of vice and crime which have made the suburb more notorious than Cicero. Tlie 25 men seized in the raid had been marked for arrest, by government agents and by Chicago detectives. They included Oliver J. Ellis, alleged payoff man for a liquor and slot machine syndicate which controlled millions of do'.lars in gambling concessions in the steel town. There were racketeers and beer chieftains said to be underlings of "Scarface Al" Capone, lord of Chicago's gangland, whose virtual rule of Chicago Heights has existed since the abdication of the notorious Johnny Torrio.
