THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY. S
Ceiling Zero?
How high will a rifle shoot? This
is a matter about which practically
all shooters, at some time or other,
have speculated. To boil it down into
general terms, with the safety ele
ment as a prime consideration, the
answer is “A lot farther than you
think.”
John J. O’Connor, of the physics
land ballistics research laboratory
|of Remington Arms Company, Inc.,
’ha* reduced the matter to a mathe
matical formula which rrveals the
rather surprising information that
a bullet fired vertically upward will
reach a height equal to more than
half the maximum horizontal range
of a similar bullet fired at the op
timum angle of departure.
Concedes Some Danger
O’Connor says: “Since aviation
became popular, there has been a
slight but present danger from
amateur anti-aircraft men on the
ground. In the early days of com
mercial planes it was all too com
mon for planes flying relatively low
over the more remote hills of the
eastern United States to be met by
bullets. When the German dirigibles
were making their regularly sched
uled flights to this country, there
was at least one incident when a
dirigible was hit by a small caliber
bullet. These and other accidents
probably reflect the lack of knowl
edge of the impressive height which
small caliber bullets can attain. In
other words shooters depend upon
gravity to make their prank a harm
less one. Unfortunately gravity,
though highly effective in making
a poor range guesser come home
with an empty trophy bag, is rela
tively ineffective in stopping a bullet
projected skyward.
No Child’s Toy
“For example, consider the 22
long rifle bullet, considered by
many, unfortunately, to be a child’s
toy. As is well known, the high
speed version has a maximum hori
zontal range of about 9/10 of a mile.
Not so well known is the fact that
if fired vertically upwards, it will
attain a height of about 7/10 of a
mile or 3700 feet. Even regular or
Match velocity 22 long rifle bullets
will travel about 3500 feet upward.
The force of gravity at the muzzle
amounts to only 1.63% of the total
force acting. At any velocity above
280 feet per second, the air resist
ance forces are larger than forces
due to gravity.
“Calculations indicate that under
any practical conditions the attain
able vertical height above gun po
sition is more than half the attain
able horizontal range, regardless
of bullet or muzzle velocity. When
we realize that the maximum hori
zontal range for center fire rifle
bullets may be as much as 6000
yards, we see that it is extremely
hazardous to shoot at high angles
of elevation without being absolute
ly certain that not only is there
plenty of horizontal distance avail
able, but also there are no aircraft
in the vicinity.”

“Old Reliable”
Crime in America
By ESTES KEFAUVER
United States Senator
Seven of a Series
Tampa: Wholesale Murder
It was well known that Tampa was an important sub-capital of
the Mafia-backed narcotics ring, with national links in the gambling
and murder-for-hire traffic. Law enforcement was so corrupted
that even the Cuban gamblers who ran the profitable bolit^ racket,
referred contemptuously to the sheriff as Cabeza de Melon—“Melon
Head.”
Human life was almost as cheap as the sands of the beach: in
19 years, there have been 14 murders and six attempted assassina
tions in the Tampa underworld- -and only one conviction.
The explosive element that keeps Tampa in a ferment of
violence, the Senate Crime Committee found, is the long-standing
rivalry between two equally hot- i
blooded gang factions. One is the ^
Mafia-backed clique or criminals
twLveWMMCi
In the closing days of the
fishing season, the crisp, sunny
days of late Fall, the old re
liable tandem “guinea-tail” spin
ner will be found to be one of
the most effective of all bass
lures. In fact, there are myriad
oldtime anglers who assert that
if they were to be restricted to
Just one bass lure, they’d choose
the “guinea-tail.” The tandem
spinner shown here is Pflueger’s
luminous spinner and is the
pioneer of all the “guinea^tail”
tandems. •

Fewer Fires
Although there were more people
seeking recreation in the national
forests last year than ever before,
the visitors started fewer fires
through carelessness than during
the previous year, according to the
Wildlife Management Institute.
Careless smokers started 1,701
fires on national forests as com
pared with 1,842 in 1949, records of
the U.S. Forest Service show. In
cendiary fires, however, increased
from 1,204 in 1949 to 1,724 in 1950.
The majority of the blazes inten
tionally set by “fire bugs” occurred
on the national forests of the 11
states lying south of Virginia.
Wait Awhile
Although . you see your hunting
friends getting busy with dogs and
arms for the almost-upon-us hunting
season, don’t you anglers start rack
ing up for thejrear. There’s still a
lot of good fishing for crappie in
ponds and even the bass, if you
have the patience to fish deep
water—and it does take patience.
Get those lures down deep, deep,
deep and fish ’em slow! That is
the technique most likely to pre
duce for the late season basser.
of Sicilian or Italian extraction, the
other the numerically larger Cuban
faction. Mixed in, of course, is a
leavening of native racketeers.
The two principal roles in the
Tampa story were played by Sal
vatore (Red) Italiano, Italian-born
ex-convict and reputed strong man
of Tampa’s underworld, and Clif
ford Hugh Culbreath, the official
called “Melon Head.” Italiano was
among the missing when Sen. Les
ter Hunt, who conducted our hear
ings there, went to Tampa. But
from “Melon Head,” the committee
counsel drew a fantastic story of
how he had managed to make de
posits of at least $128,000 in half
a dozen banks scattered throughout
Florida and Georgia during his
nine years as sheriff.
• • •
One purely local racketeer inter
rogated was Charles M. Wall, a
nonchalant, almost whimsical, 71-
year-old gambler who once was
“brains of the underworld.” He
was the victim of at least three at
tempts by presumably “unknown”
parties to assassinate him. Almost
humorously, the old man assured
us:
“I wasn’t much interested in who
it was that was doing it. I was in
terested in keeping from getting
killed.”
As Red Italiano could not be
found, we summoned Vincent Spoto
to answer a few questions. Spoto
is president of Anthony Distributors,
a wholesale beer and wine corpora
tion owned by the Italiano family.
Spoto earned $100 a week, not, he
explained, for his duties as presi
dent, but for work he did in the
shipping department. Italiano drew
$300 “a week as general manager.
He was only one of many criminals
found throughout the country who
had managed, contrary to state and
federal regulations, to infiltrate the
liquor business.
• • •
From other witnesses, we heard
that Italiano was a big-shot in
Bolita, the Cuban lottery played
with 100 numbered balls. Oscar J.
Perez, formerly chauffeur to a mur
dered bolita racketeer named Jim
my Velasco, told us Italiano and
Velasco had quarreled violently.
Perez also testified that Italiano’s
chauffeur and bodyguard—Joe Pro-
venzano, who was tried and ac
quitted for Velasco’s murder—used
to carry shotguns in the front seat
of his car when he drove on
Tampa’s main streets.
Noah W. Caton, a marine engine
mechanic, told of a strange alleged
tieup between Sheriff Culbreath and
Red Italiano, involving ownership
of a fish business.
From Mrs. Anthony DiLorenzo,
estranged wife of a special deputy
for Sheriff Culbreath, the commit
tee heard that in 1947 Red Italiano
obtained a deputy’s commission for
her husband, “to do special duties.”
Thereafter, she testified, both Red
Italiano and Sheriff Culbreath regu
larly telephoned DiLorenzo to give
him instructions as to his “special
duties.” DiLorenzo also collected
his $200-a-month “salary” from
Italiano, Mrs. DiLorenzo testified.
Q. What was your impression of
what he was doing as a result of
these telephone calls? What were
his duties?
MRS. DiLORENZO: Well, he was
checking different places with them,
different bolita places.
Q. Was he collecting from them or
was he arresting them? A. He was
just more of a go-between between
the underworld and the law, as a
messenger between those.
But the first witness to accuse
Culbreath of having received money
from the gambling interests, was
Paul Giglia, a former bolita peddler
for the late Jimmy Velasco. During
Culbreath’s reelection campaign in
1948, Giglia testified, Velasco told
him “to take some money down to
the sheriff.”
• • •
He swore that Velasco regularly
sent money to the “old man”—
meaning Sheriff Culbreath. The eu
phemism for these payments—some
times $1,000 at a time—was “rent,”
and Giglia said that “the money
was going out faster than it was
coming in.”
SUCKER DIVORCE
It was Anthony Deschamps, Vel
asco’s cousin, who used to check
receipts for the murdered gambler,
who first told us how the Cuban
bolita peddlers called Culbreath
“Cabeza de Melon.” Velasco showed
him his “pay-off” list, on which
there were notations of alleged
weekly payments of $500 to “Cabeza
de Melon”; the same amount to
“R,” and $250 to “E.D.” Des
champs charged that “Melon Head”
was Sheriff Culbreath; “R” was
State’s Attorney Rex Farrior, and
“E.D.” was former Chief of Police
J. L. Eddings. (All three denied
this).
Oscar Perez said he used to drive
Velasco to the county jail, where
Velasco and the sheriff would con
fer in a special inner sanctum called
“the rat hole.” According to Perez,
he used to help Jimmy count out
the weekly pay-off, and the amounts
would vary from week to week.
O. Why would it vary?
PEREZ: Well, as in every kind of
business, I guess you had to balance
your budget.
• • •
The 53-year-old sheriff told the
Committee some interesting facts
about his career and his activities.
In 1932, he was elected constable.
He operated a private fishing busi
ness during the period he was con
stable, but filed no income tax re
turns on his earnings. In 1938, a
grand jury indicted “seven of the
most prominent gamblers of the
city and nine public officials with
out whose acquiescence or co-opera
tion these flagrant violations of the
law could not have continued.”
One of them was Constable Cul
breath, and the grand jury publicly
requested the then governor o^
Florida to remove Culbreath, along
with others, from office. Nothing,
however, happened. In 1941, Cul
breath became sheriff.
The sheriff insistently denied he
ever had any dealings with Red
Italiano, except to call on him oc
casionally in search of information
that might help him to solve crimes.
• • •
At one point, Sheriff Culbreath
tried to convince the Committee he
really wasn’t very bright. “I am not
a smart boy . . . and never was,”
he said, assuring us he couldn’t
even remember the street address
of a friend he visits three times a
week. He also said he could qualify
as a prime example, of “Exhibit
A,” of how a fellow in public life
could be abused falsely by “harp
ing critics, jealous and disgruntled
politicians, discontents, malcon
tents, has-beens, would-bes” and
what-not.
For a “not smart” boy, Exhibit
A” had done rather well for him
self. The Committee figured from
the sheriffs income tax declaration
that his net income for the years
1941 through 1949, after deductions
and taxes, had been $36,014.98. He
admitted to having cash, bonds and
property holdings valued at $95,-
193.52. Counsel was able to establish
that at least $128,000 had passed
through five of Culbreath’s bank
accounts in the past nine years and
that, currently, the sheriff had
$45,700 divided between his various
bank accounts, his safe deposit box
and the home safe, also, $6,500 in
government bonds
Another bit of low—yet tragic
—comedy was the disclosure by
two witnesses, formerly connected
with the sheriffs office, that Ernest
(Rookie) Culbreath, the sheriff’s
brother and his chief criminal dep
uty, ran a gambling book right at
the county jail.
• • •
Associate Counsel Rice produced
a match book cover which read:
“Briggs & Company—Rookie Cul
breath and Leslie Cathcart. We do
small things big. Everything in
sports.”
What did the sheriff have to say
about that “Everythihg in Sports”?
“Well, sir,” Sheriff Culbreath said,
“I think someone that put out
matches did this to play a trick on
them.”

When Life Gets Hard
Lesson for October 28, 1951
Dr. Foreman
Sucker Cut-Off Causes Separation
BRAZIL, Ind.—A short sucker
supply was grounds enough to get
Geneva Mae, a 20-year-old blonde,
divorced from her 72-year-old hus
band. She was granted her free
dom because he cut off her supply
of frozen suckers.
In awarding the divorce from Sam
Folium, a judge also included $400
alimony, which, the girl said, she
won’t use to buy more suckers.
She intends to buy clothes with
whatever amount is left after she
buys a scrap book’in which to put
her clippings of the trial for future
reference.
Geneva testified that her hus
band had ordered the family grocer
not to charge any more frozen
suckers to their account. They were
married on May 8 and separated
June 22.
I N an army training center there
is plenty to gripe about. Time
was, when sundown came, every
one was off duty. Now night only
begins the trouble. Night marching,
night “village fighting,” night
everything else, in
snow and ice and WMsMOM
mud all the same,
and never with
enough, sleep. But
the army keeps on
rubbing those poor
boys’ heads in the
dirt.
Of course the
army knows what it
is doing. WTJien the
boys get through
with camp, most of them will be
sent to where some real fighting is
going on. The enemy, unfortunate
ly, does not confine his activities to
the daytime. He fights at night, in
the rain, in zero weather, even on
your birthday. He picks some very
rough hills to fight on. In the roar
ing confusion of shifting battle lines
the soldier does not always get his
chow on time, and the nearest hos
pital may be too far to reach. He
is out where he has to be tough.
It is not only in the army that
a toughening-up coarse is just
what the doctor ordered. In real
life it happens over and over ^
again. It is not the boys who
had. the easiest childhood who
rise most often to the top. It is
the boys who worked, who had
to work somehow for a living,
who develop the toughness in
mind and muscle to carry them
through life’s long struggle.
* '• *
When Life Gets Hard
I T is sometimes thought that God
should arrange things differently.
What most of us want (lazy as we
are) is a soft life, something pleas
ant, big pay and no work if we can
help it. When life is easy for us we
think, if we are religiously inclined,
that God has blessed us; but if life
gets hard, we think God must have
forgotten us. Quite the contrary.
There is an almost forgotten
verse in the New Testament:
“The Lord disciplines the man
he loves, and scourges every
son whom he receives.” (Heb.
12:6, Moffatt’s translation.)
The man who is undisciplined
never grows up, he is a perpetual
boy. For the same reasons, no one
ever became God’s man except
through God’s discipline.
» • •
Forge For A Sword
T HIS is as true of nations as of
individuals. The story of the
Hebrews in Egypt is one case in
point. They had it hard, about as
hard as any people who ever lived.
They became slaves, and remained
slaves for hundreds of years.
Humanly speaking, God’s total
plan would not have succeeded un
less the Hebrews had gone through
that “furnace of affliction.” If
Jacob and his family had stayed on
in Palestine, there never would
have been any Hebrew nation any
more than there was an Ishmaelite
nation.
Somewhere, some time, those
Israelites had to be forged into
tempered steel, a sword for
God. And the slavery in Egypt
was the first stage of the forg
ing. It was a hard life; no doubt
many died under the lash. But
the hardy ones lived.
If Moses, when the time came,
had had to take out into the wilder
ness a caravan of luxury-loving
Egyptians, they would have wilted
on his hands. It was because the
Hebrews had lived hard in the
slave-pens of Goshen that they could
live hard in the wilderness when
they were free.
• • •
Life Goes On
T HIS is not the whole story, of
course. Life, even the hardest
kind of life, is not merely a prepa
ration for battles to come. It can
be worth living for its own sake.
The trainee may find friends and
happiness even in a very tough
camp. And down in Egypt, in all
the years of Hebrew hardship, life
went on. People fell in love and
were married, children were born,
were brought up somehow, were
taught the difference between right
and wrong, were taught about the
true God.
People nowadays are some
times jittery about the prospect
of “life as we know it” being
destroyed. Well, maybe it will
be; who can deny that we have
it coming to us? ,
But life will not be destroyed. Un
der the harshest of circumstances,
life will go on, and those who will
accept life’s troubles as the send
ing of God will find a blessing even
in what at the moment hurts the
most.

Here are Ways to Make
Soups More Palatable
Soup preparation is a simple task,
but it should be done properly to get
the most out of meat and vegetables
used.
Cooking soup stock at high tem
peratures is wasteful since high heat
coagulates the protein in the meat
and this floats to the top as a brown
ish scum, rather than remaining in
the stock where it is palatable and
nutritious.

THE GOLD BUSH
Workers Rush
Into Towns;
Stop Farming
PADUCAH, Ky.—A serious situa
tion has come to.light in the west
ern part of Kentucky in the small
towns and rural areas. There has
been such a mass migration of
workers away from the farms that
it is almost impossible to hire farm
workers.
In the last few months more
than $700,000,000 worth of industrial
plants have announced their inten
tion of moving into the area and
many have already commenced
construction. More than 22,000
workers will be required at the six
largest Jobs alone, once they reach
peak construction-stage employ-
ment.
Such attractive wages are being
offered for comparatively short
hours and easy work that share
croppers, tenants, small townerq,
and even farm owners themselves
have flocked to take advantage of
the windfall.
Wages Double
Crop production in the area is re
ported to have fallen greatly, al
though exact figures are not avail
able. But as an example, one fann
er who last year raised a good
crop of corn, tobacco and straw
berries didn’t even stick a plow
in the ground this year.
Now he is employed as a steam-
fitter in the atomic plant near Pa
ducah, although he had never done
that type of work before. The rea
son: hours are shorter and the pay
better than farming.
At the present moment there are
eight counties in western Kentucky
feeling the farm labor shortage. In
time, other counties in the area
will feel it, too. Some workers are
driving as much as 75 miles a day
to reach construction jobs—a total
150 a day, going to and from work.
Small farmers are at a loss as
to what to do about the labor situa
tion. Some of the larger ones,
however, are importing labor.
Mexicans Brought In
J. E. Terret, who operates a 2,000
acre farm in Fulton county, solved
his labor problem by\ importing
Mexican workers.
Last May, Terret brought in 100
Mexicans to help with his 800 acre
cotton crop. A $10,000 spinach prop,
however, was lost because the
workers did not arrive in time to
harvest it.
The workers live in 20 tenant
houses scattered over the farm.
They can cook their own food or
take meals at a central mess for
$1.25 a day. This is the third year
Terret has used Mexican workers.
Terret, however, is the only farm
er in that part of the state to im
port foreign labor, but what he has
done may be an indication of the
steps other farmers in the area will
make in an effort to solve the labor
problem.
Farm hands in the area last year
were working hard in the fields
for $5 a day, or tops of $7.50. Now
they are drawing down $15 a day or
more as common laborers at the
big construction jobs.
Small Town Bank Closes;
Wouldn't Yield to State
PORT HOPE, Mich.—Miss Lydia
A. Welsch, the woman banker of
the village of Port Hope, is busy
liquidating the privately owned Citi
zens bank rather than accept a
state charter and submit to gov
ernment regulation.
The bank had 392 depositors with
deposits of $497,000.
The decision to liquidate leaves
only 11 private banks in the state
of Michigan. The Port Hope bank
ers, including a retired farmer and
the retired postmaster of the vil
lage, faced the issue of accepting
a charter when the Commercial
Bank of West Branch collapsed a
few weeks before.
As a result of the Commercial
Bank crash, the state banking com
missioner urged the owners of the
surviving private banks to apply for
charters. Without a state or fed
eral charter no bank can get fed
eral deposit insurance.
The commissioner said Miss
Welsch could easily have qualified
for a state charter without chang
ing her banking methods. “The
liquid condition of the Port Hope
bank is astonishing,” he said. “If I
had to pick the state’s most suc
cessful banker, the honor would go
to Miss Welsch.”
Of the other private banks in
Michigan, all but one hgs agreed
to apply for a charter. The dis
senter, who plans to go on doing
business as he has for years, is
8. W. Varty of Rhodes.
The village now has less than a
dozen buildings, but was once a
thriving lumber town.
Soundproof Kennels Are

LOWER MERION TOWNSHIP,
Pa.—The officials of this community
