HOUSTON, Mar. 22-Since I am one of the gurvivors of the famous battle of the Shamrock Hotel of St. Patrick's Day, 1949, Glenn McCarthy paid my way down here to help celebrate the second anniversary of that classic skirmish. It cost Glenn many thousands for 2 ZT celebration. But for this Irishman with the dark glasses and Frank Sinatra curl, “money flows like oil.” We had a lovely and dra- ‘ matic party this time and nothing marred it but one little scuffle involving some ladies and a beer bottle, but as somebody said, “What would St. Patrick's Day be without a fight?” I felt like a Civil War veteran remembering the Battle of Gettysburg as 1 told newcomers about the

But now as we look back on that wild night in ’'49, we believe it was a break for Mr. McCarthy. Because the front page stories—about some lady. saying a vulgar word that got onto the radio—told the whole world that Glenn McCarthy had opened a hotel here called the Shamrock. Now it's a successful hotel. Drama attaches itself to Mr. McCarthy. EY SOPHIE TUCKER missed a show for the first time in her history—and it was here. The wonderful old red hot mama was wheeled into the room on a stretcher. She tearfully told the audience that an ambulance was waiting to take her to the hospital. “T'll be well and I'll be back tomorrow night,” she said with a choke. “I don't want to be sick —1 want to sing.” she said. : And they wheeled her out to the applause she ever got in her life. This week the dramatic incident- was in the papers. again, reminding. people..of .. McCarthy's Shamrock. Yes, wherever this man McCarthy goes things seem to happen.

Although I must say it was business doing pleasure with you. This Texas thing it getting out of hand. Once a year, the patron saint of a certain cult called the oil business, a Mr. Glenn McCarthy, throws a party in honor of his shrine, which is a hotel named Shamrock. Mr. McCarthy, as-1 may have mentioned once before, is one of the few people who is rich enough to erect his own personal shrine in honor of himself. The odd thing, too, {s that’ it makes money just like Hyde Park. Houston is a fur piece to go to a party, but it is always worth it, because you bump into at least one new Texas joke.

A Ringside Portrait of Costello—

first impression when you look at Frank Costello is that you are ‘looking at a shopworn George Raft. He has that type of handsome Italian face, but the fine chiseling lof the features has been blurred by an overlay of soft fat and the pendants of flesh that dangle beneath each eye. His naturally olive complexion has a patina of junhealthy sallowness. If your attention wasn't claimed by the expensive, beautifully-tail-ored clothes, you probably would pass him on the street with only a casual glance. Taking a second look, however, your attention would be reveted by the air of sinister authority. {It is an almost hypnotic air famil{iar to this generation—the bear{ing of leadership and command {that was characteristic of Hitler and Mussolini, in another direc. tion Roosevelt and Churchill. | Costello wears, in evil fashion, {the dignified mantle of self-as-sured authority. He is the boss man, and you know it and fear him, just as vou feared Hitler and Mussolini. You fear his quiet assumption of tremendous power, just. as you respected the same outstanding characteristic in Roosevelt and Churchill and maybe old Judge Landis. }

For one of his background, his language is remarkably precise, although he splits the hell out of infinitives, tosses double negatives all over the place. and sprinkles it with typically New York pronunciations, such as “bein” for burn and “kern" for coin.

He was a big shot even then, known and feared as Mr. C. He worked his way up in the crime business to second in command under Charles (Lucky!
