Feb. 18.— Genna. a uame synonoinous with gangland terror, twice was listed on police nooks today, along with 262 others, the roster of the latest prisoners in the police war on crime. The midnight raid on a southwest side flat that surprised Sam and Peter Genna at a desk from which police declared they directed an alcohol distributing syndicate, brought the total arrests since the general offensive against the underworld began to more than 5,000. There are only between 5,000 and 6.000 policemen in Chicago, many of them who have not been paid for weeks. Os the 628 suspicious characters founded up in a twenty-four-hour period ended early today, police announced fifty-four were ex-convicts and at least .seven were gunmen. Six Genna brothers won notoriety early in Chicago’s gang warfare.

Police said Poy was a suspected op,uni peddler and that the killing had no connection with tong warfare.

Life insurance is an investment whose value constantly increases the longer it is kept in force.
