' FIGHT TO RULE VICE RACKET IS BARED IN PROBE Tearoom Raid Is Laid to Muscleing-ln Effort by Gangsters. by United Prm BLADENSBURG, Md., Nov, 24. Attempts of Philadelphia gangsters to "muscle in" on a Maryland vice racket were blamed today by police for a shooting early Monday in a roadhouse here. One man was killed and six other persons seriously wounded. Two may die. According to reliable information given police, the holdup and subsequent shooting of employes and patrons against a kitchen wall was the work of vice racketeers from the city of Brotherly Love. They were believed to be desirous of shar- : lng in the profits of the Old Colonial tea house, and acting under orders from Philadelphia gang leaders. , According to reports, the vice operates out of South Philadelphia and supplies girls to roadhouses in Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The girls, under the cloak of entertainers, move every two weeks, it is said. Evidence of gang activities multiplied as police today investigated the shooting. “John Joseph Bartlett,” one of the wounded, turned out to be Felix Bocchicchio, alias '“Man O’ War,” of Stratford, N. J., Wanted in Pennsylvania on a murder charge. He is under guard in casualty hospital here. Others involved have been found to have criminal records and according to police, are members of gangs. Thomas Simone, also in the hospital, is reported to be implicated in Philadelphia gang activities.

STEVENS DEPLORES REDUCED DEFENSE

U. S. Must Not Be Caught Napping, Commander of Legion Asserts. “The American Legion and its auxiliaries are not militaristic organizations, but we never must be placed in the position that we were Immediately prior to the declaration of the last war,” Henry L. Stevens Jr., American Legion national commander, declared at a conference of auxiliary department presidents and secretaries Monday in legion nation headquarters. "We have heard a great deal lately about economy. This year, I am afraid it is being misconstrued into false economy in the matter of our national defense when, in the Pacific, we have the beginning of what may be serious trouble.” Steven asserted that the first line of defense has been pushed back from the regular army to the national guard. Every disabled veteran of the World war in hospitals throughout the United States will receive a Christmas gift from the American Legion auxiliary, Mrs. A. H. Hoffman, chairman of the organization’s rehabilitation committee, said.
