CHICAGO, Oct. 10. (UP)—A ruthless gang czar, believed to have ordered the slaying of two of his lieutenants he suspected of giving information to federal officers, fought desperately today to thwart the gov-
ernment war against crime.
The deaths of Gils Winkler and Edgar Lebensberger. known for their gang connections, were ordered, federal officers believe, because of fear they might reveal the wide ramifica-
tions of a gigantic crime ring.
Winkler was killed yesterdax by assassins who fired 72 shotgun slugs into his back a few hours before he was to have been questioned again e mceming the $25<>,0(H) Chicago mail robbery last December. lebensberger was found shot to death in his palatial north shore home last Friday. The deaths remained as perplexing a mystery as does the "higherup" from whom they took their orders and relayed them to hundreds of bank robbers, bond thiefs and racke- | leers in a dozen mid ilewestern cities. Both were regarded as "big shots" | among gangsters because of their re-
j puled connections with someone
