other has its axis between Miami and the Chicago Capone syndicate now headed by Tony Accardo, the Fischetti Brothers and Jake Guzik, the committee said. The Mafia, the Sicilian Black Hand Society. is the “adhesive” linking the major syndicates, the committee said in an interim report on its 10 months’ investiga-, tion of nationwide crime. !

TWO: It estimated that a whopping $20 billion changes hands each year in illegal gambling. Jt said illegal gambling has supplgnted bootlegging and prostitution as the No. 1 crime bankroll.

Although the leaders did not t say so directly, their action suggested that labor will reject Economic Stabilizer Eric A.
