23 Mobsters On Trial In Chicago
CHICAGO UPI—The federal government, which for months has been sniping away at the Chicago crime syndicate, opened up with a fusillade today when it put 23 alleged mobsters on trial. The hoodlums are defendants in four separate trials as the government continued its efforts to put syndicate leaders, already on the run, into full
flight. The best known of the reputed “outfit” members in the hot seat is Paul “The Waiter” Ricca, who was scheduled to appear before U. S. District Court Judge William J. Lynch on charges of perjury. The charge against Ricca stemmed from statements he made in 1965 before an immigration board which was trying

Another big name hood who is scheduled to appear before Judge Lynch today was Marshall Caifano, 56, already serving a 10-year term at Leavenworth, Kan., for extortion. Caifano and four other men were charged with plotting to extort $40,000 from Crown Point, Ind., builder Arnold N. ; Henderlong. Specifically the defendants were charged with interstate transportation of stolen goods and wire fraud in attempts to induce Henderlong to use coun- ; terfeit Commonwealth Edison stock as collateral at a Gary, :Ind., bank. Caifano, reputedly a top crime syndicate enforcer, was convicted in 1964 in Los Angeles of conspiring to extort $60.000 from millionaire Raymond J. Ryan of Denver. Another underworld chief-
Officer Accepts A Reprimand
TOKYO UPI — Lt. Cm dr. Laurence C. Baldauf Jr., who could have gone to prison for 40 years, Monday accepted an official letter of reprimand to end his one - man rebellion against what he called America’s “no-win” policy in the Vietnam war. The 33-year-old naval officer from Coronado, Calif., elected to have the official letter of reprimand entered in his record rather than face courtmartial on charges of disrespect to senior officers, disobedience of orders and seeking to spread mutiny and sedition. Conviction on the charges could have brought him up to 40 years in prison.
A jet pilot, Baldauf voluntarily removed himself from flight duty as a protest against being forced to remain in the Navy. He said he has been assured he will be allowed to resign on June 1. “I am taking the Navy’s word for it,” Baldauf said. Baldauf received the letter of reprimand, signed by Rear Adm. Frank L. Johnson, U. S. naval commander in Japan, for a series of scathing letters he wrote to senior naval officers. Baldauf protested vigorously against what he termed the U. S. “no-win” policy in Vietnam and urged a formal declaration of war against Communist North Vietnam.

He called on various admirals to resign rather than send their men to die in a “war without purpose.” Baldauf also charged publicly that the morale of naval airmen in Vietnam had plummeted. He said many are resigning as fast as the Navy would let them. The Navy began investigating the Baldauf case in February. This weekend it gave him the opportunity to decide his own fate. He was offered the choice of accepting the letter of reprimand or standing trial before a general courtmartiaL
Asks Withdrawal Of Border Troops JERUSALEM, Israel UPI — Israeli Premier Levi Eshkol called Monday for a mutual withdrawal of Egyptian and Israeli troops from their tense 117mile border before the current Middle East crisis can blaze into a new war. He also urged an international effort to outlaw sabotage and terror against any member of the United Nations. Eshkol told the Knesset Parliament that these steps could ensure a continuation of the relative quiet that has prevailed during the past decade along the Israeli - Egyptian frontier. Eshkol outlined developments during the past week which have led to the most serious crisis in the Mideast since the 1956 Suez conflict. He said he hoped United Nations Secretary General Thant’s trip to Cairo would bring “constructive results.” Thant is due in Cairo Tuesday afternoon. Eshkol told the packed chamber beginning its summer session that the main cause for the flareup in tension was a long series of more than 100 infiltrations into Israeli territory inspired by the Syrians, and direct attacks on Israeli installations. Before he spoke elder statesman David Ben-Gurion and Israel’s religious leaders closed ranks behind him.
Col. Olds Bags 4 Enemy Planes SAIGON UPI — Air Force Col. Robin Olds was credited Monday with downing two Communist Mig jets instead of one during the weekend, making him the first U.S. pilot to shoot down four enemy planes in Vietnam. No other U.S. airman has more than two to his credit. The 44-year-old son of a general, Olds was a football star at West Point and shot down 24% enemy aircraft as a pilot in World War II. He is married to former movie star Ella Raines. Olds, a native of Washington, D.C., got his third and fourth Mig “kills” Saturday while at the controls of a F4 Phantom jet. Both of the North Vietnamese planes were Korean warvintage MIG17s. U.S. spokesmen said Sunday Olds had been credited with one “kill” and one “probable,” then announced Monday the “probable” had been officially confirmed as shot down.
North dealer. North-South vulnerable. NORTH 4 10 8 5 V 63 4 AK J108 A J5 WEST EAST 46 4 AQJ9742 4 J 4 4 Q 10ft 4953 462 4 KQ109743 48 SOUTH 4 K 3 4 A K 9 8 7 2 4Q74 402 The bidding: North East South West 14 3 4 4f Pas* Pass Pass Opening lead—six of spades. It is obviously silly to adopt a line of play that cannot possibly succeed, if at the same time there is available another method of play that offers at least some chance of success. The principle is self-evident, but to apply it correctly to a particular hand may require a thorough grasp of what is possible and what is not. South obviously failed to realize he was pursuing an illusion in this deal when he went down in a contract he should have made. West led the six of spades. East won with the ace and re-
turned a spade which West ruffed. West now led the king of clubs to the ace and declarer cashed the A-K of trumps, hoping to find the remaining one* divided 2-2. But West showed out and South now knew that he had to lose a trump trick. In an effort to get rid of his losing club, ha led three rounds of diamonds iit the hope that East would follow to all three—in which case h* could then discard his club oa the fourth round of diamonds. But East ruffed the third diamond and South eventually lost a club to go down one. South failed to realize that h* was bound to go down by playing the diamonds as he did. Had he attempted to count out East’s distribution, he would have discovered the utter futility of trying to dispose of hi* club loser right away. East had shown up with seven spades as early as trick two, and also with a club and three hearts as early as trick five. With 11 of East’s 13 cards thus accounted for, it becam* impossible for him to have three diamonds. Consequently, after cashing the A-K of hearts, South should have led a low trump to East’s queen in the hope of finding him with no more clubs. Had he done this, his hopes would have materialized and he would have made the contract.
