Says Clark Paved Way For Paroles Approved Dismissal Os Fraud Charges Rockford. 111., Oct. 22—(UP)— Rep. Fred E. Bnsbey, R., 111., charged today that attorney general Tom C. Clark paved the way for the parole of four Chicago gangsters by approving the dismissal of mail fraud indictments pending against them. Busbey showed reporters a telegram in which, he said, Clark admitted that he had approved a recommendation to nolle prosse the mail fraud indictments pending against Louis (little New York) Campagna, Paul (The Waiter) Ricca, Phil D’Andrea and Charles (Cherry Nose) Gioe.

The four are former Capone mobsters who were sentenced to 10 years imprisonment for a sl,000,000 extortion plot against the movie industry and its executives. They were paroled recently after serving only one-third of their sentence. The paroles were criticized severely and now are under congressional investigation. Busbey said the four could not have won their freedom if the indictments had stood against them. The indictments grew out of the extortion charges. The writs were handed down by a New York City federal grand jury in March, 1943, and charged that they attempted to defraud 46,000 members of the international alliance of theatrical stage employes of almost sl,ooff,000 by assessing them two percent of their salaries for an “organizational drive.”

The indictments were dismissed last May. Clark’s telegram to Busbey gave specific answers to questions the congressman asked him in a wire last week. It read: . Busbey—Who in the government decided not to prosecute? Clark—Boris Kostelanetz, special assistant to the attorney general. (Kostelanetz left the government service shortly afterwards). Busbey—To whom did he recommend dismissal? Clark—James P. McGranery, assistant to the attorney general. Busbey—Who specifically authorized assistant attorney general Raymond P. Whearty to dismiss the indictments? Clark—John F. X. McGohey, (U. S. district attorney in New York) upon authorization of Douglas W. McGregor, assistant to the attorney general.

Busbey—ls it true, as Wlbearty is reported to have said, that this had the approval and recommendation of the attorney general? Clark —A transcript of proceedings before judge 'Tiebell of New York revealed that the statement attributed to Mr. Whearty by the press is incorrect; however, for your information, the recommenda tion of Boris Kostelanetz in its regular course had iny approval. “In the last line of his wire Clark admits his owtn approval of the dismissal and (he is finally pinned down on That; phase of the inquiry.” Busbey safd. “Until now we’ve gottert the runaround from the attorney general’s- office. This telegram will be of considerable interest to Jhe house subcommittee investigating the paroles and Clark will have an opportunity to explain why he approved removal of an obstacle tiT the parole of these gangsters.” Busbey said that “even if the investigation fails to show bribery or favoritism I predict it will lead to important changes in the federal government’s parole system.
