THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C. Oklahoma Youth Is U. S. Star Farmer Other Young Farmers ilre Honored by FFfl Harold DeWaync Hodgson, 20- year-old farmer and Hereford cat tle breeder of Freedom, Okla., was named Star Farmer of America during the 24th annual national FFA convection at Kansas City. He re ceived an awrard of $1,000 for being named the outstanding future farm er of the country. Three other young farmers re ceived awards of $500 each as Star Farmers of their respective re gions. They are George Williams, 19, of Nicholasville, Ky.; Joe Har ris, 20, of Eagleville, Calif.; and Ralph G. Banner, 21, of Kutztown, Pa. Harold DeWayne Hodgson, 20, Star Farmer of America, owns a 320-acre farm and rents an additional 255 acres. The Star Farmer awards are made annually and are the highest recognition given to FFA members. The winners were chosen from 295 candidates. Outstanding accom plishments in farming and rural leadership, along with evidence of the youth’s successful establish ment in farming, are the principal considerations used in determining winners o? the awards. Hodgson owns. a 320-acre farm and operates an additional 255 acres of rented land. Engineer Suggests Way To Meet Labor Shortage The nation’s farmers next year will be asked to maintain a high standard of production and will again be faced with a severe labor shortage of several hundred thou sand workers. Here are four suggestions by which production can be main tained: 1. More efficient use of manage ment and labor. There were a lot of chuckles when the efficiency ex perts started working for industry, counting steps and clocking move ments. As a result of their work, however, our industries are the most efficient in the world. 2. Increase mechanization. In normal times, the answer to labor shortages has been increased mech anization. If we get the machinery, it is still a partial answer. 3. Efficient building arrangement. Time and labor required around buildings has changed little in the last 50 years. 4. Survey of urban districts and rural towns. You can often find laborers in rural towns. The farmer who surveys his needs and acts on these suggestions can solve his labor' problems.

Next Few Weeks Is Time For Cattle Louse Control The next few weeks is the ideal time for cutting the life span ol cattle lice that are at their peak during winter months. If animals are not treated for this pest and profit-robber, they will reflect poor signs of progress. Mature cattle on feed will not gain properly and young stock and calves will not grow normally. In addition, the cattle wiH have a general unthrifty appearance. “Open Sunday, April 1. Beverly Hills Country Club, Southgate, Ky., Route 27. This card admits bearer to gaming room. This card has been mailed to only privileged custom ers. Keep it,. and do not pass on. If you do not wish to use it, de stroy it.” Moe Dalitz, who never has been convicted of a crime, is a prosper ous laundryman and, with other ex bootleggers, owns a substantial share of the Detroit Steel Co. On the side, he also is a partner in gaming casinos with Kleinman and others, his accountant told us. After repeal, Cleveland was glutted with gambling. But honest officials—among them Gov. Frank Lausche and Mayors Harold Bur ton and Thomas A. Burke—cracked down. Gradually, the wide-open gambling clubs were driven out. The syndicate already had mapped its strategy: it simply moved into the counties outside of Cleveland where local police were more pliant. To make up for the inconvenience of locations, the gamblers arranged transportation for out-of-town and out-of-state cus tomers, hauling them to the clubs. How did they operate? Tommy McGinty, a stocky, triple-chinned man who looks like the movie ver sion of an old-time bartender, la conically told us that when he ran his Pettibone Club in Geauga coun ty he made regular contributions, solicited by the county clerk, to help the county buy fire engines, trac tors, or whatever the clerk said was needed. • • • He also described how he oper ated an illegal race track in the county without molestation: he ran under what he called “the contribu tions, system” which he said he thought was “legal.” He gave 5 per cent to the county. “They took it as a tax,” he explained. When Governor Lausche moved into the state capitol, he found four particularly flagrant gambling ca sinos, all dominated by the Cleve land gang, running full-blast in rural counties. Local sheriffs ignored his orders to shut them, so the governor plastered the points with violations of such workaday laws as fire, liquor control, unemployment com pensation, building, and workmen’s compensation. The casinos closed. Crime in America By ESTES KEFAUVER United States Senator Eleven of a Series Cleveland Area: 'Middletown' of Crime Moe Kleinman’s story is pretty much the story of the whole Cleveland mob—from rum-running to gambling to a noisy, fussy show of surface respectability. During a single bootlegging year, 1929, Morris (Moe) Klein man is said to have grossed almost $1,000,000. There were gang wars then, with beatings, bribery, shakedowns, and unsolved kill ings, and more than a few of the victims were Kleinman’s foes. One of the former pug’s proteges—a dubious honor—was Mickey Cohen, now of the Los Angeles police files. Eventually, Kleinman served a sentence for income tax evasion. Now he is esteemed by many honest people in his community.- He disavows any link with ill-doing; his contributions to charity are gen erous. However, the Senate crime committee gathered evidence which plainly proved that he still is deep in the gambling combine. This mold which Kleinman and others in Cleveland fit so tidily— the picture of gangsters shifting, when prohibition ended, from il licit liquor to illicit gambling—was one we found everywhere. Yet, crime-wise, Cleveland is a city of dazzling inconsistencies, a sort of Middletown of crime. First off, the area has been plun dered for years by as vicious and powerful a congregation of crim inals as the committee spotlighted anywhere. But, ironically, the city is a cheering sample of what good local and state governments can attain when they really lash out at the underworld. The ex-FBI man who now is the city’s public safety director, Al vin J. Sutton Jr., listed for us the main members of the Cleveland gambling syndicate — Kleinman, Thomas Jefferson McGinty, Samuel (Gameboy) Miller, Louis Rothkopf, Moe Dalitz, and Samuel Tucker. The Big Three in prohibition whis ky, he said, had ben Kleinman, Dal itz and Rothkopf. Rothkopf is a marked-down model of Kleinman and, like him, served time for income tax fraud. The two hid out from the committee for months. Finally apprehended, they made a great display of refusing to test ify. They would not look at our counsel when being interrogated or, finally, even voice tae stock “I- refuse-to-answer” refrain. Kleinman sat mute when we confronted him with a printed card from uie Bever ly Hills Country Club, one of the Kleinman-Rothkopf enterprises. The card read: After he made even the counties too hot for them, the Cleveland syndicate moved its operations across the Ohio river into wide- open northern Kentucky communi ties in Campbell and Kenton coun ties. Covington and Newport, just across from Cincinnati, became the big gambling centers. There the casinos were so unconcerned with police that they advertised openly in Cincinnati newspapers, and placed streamers on automobile windshields. The syndicate became so rich that when Gambler Wilbur dark needed more than $1,000,000 to com plete his luxurious Desert Inn in Las Vegas, he obtained the money from Cleveland gamblers who, in turn, acquired a 60 per cent in terest in his gambling. Some members also branched out to Florida. Gameboy Miller, for one, was a partner in Miami’s swank Island Club. Cleveland itself. Safety Director Sutton said, has erased virtually all traces of gangdom. “Racketeers still may make their headquarters here,” he declared, “but they have to set up shop somewhere else if they are going to make any .money.” We ferreted out the case of a racketeer who .:et up shop some where else, and made money. He was a Cleveland hoodlum who got his start in gambling and bootleg ging, amiable Alfred (Big Al) Po- lizzi. t • • • Big Al loudly announced, in about 1940, that he was going straight. He had plenty of money. He had been dabbling in Florida real estate with Arthur (Mickey) McBride, the Cleveland millionaire who -founded the Continental Press racing news service. Then, too, there was the money he had made in breweries and, of course, from his illegal ac tivities. He went straight, all right, straight to prison on a black mar ket whisky charge. Once freed, he moved to Miami Beach. He became a partner in a construction com pany there and in a plush hotel, the haunt of visiting mobsters. Tanned and dapper. Big Al was the picture of propriety in his ap pearance before us. He gestured with his horn-rimmed glasses and, when I asked him one question, cried: “Well, goodness! I don’t know.” He primly apologized when he was forced to use the word “hell” in quoting someone else. • • • What bothered us, however, was Polizzi’s association with his old gang-mates. He confessed that his “construction company partner had sponsored the parole of extortionist James Licavoli. Al had visited New York (“to see the fights”) with his old pal, Moe Kleinman, and around his hotel fraternized with other known gangsters. “I don’t butt into other people’s business,” he argued. In Cleveland, we also unfolded the strange story of Alvin Giesey, former internal revenue agent and now a thriving public accountant. It was Giesey’s gumshoeing which sent Moe Kleinman to prison in 1933 on an income tax count. Oddly, when Kleinman was freed, he per suaded Giesey to resign from the government and take over his own tax and accounting problems. Giesey went further. He also took over the tax problems of such shad owy figures as Polizzi, Dalitz, and Rothkopf, and became secretary of the “real estate” phase of two gambling clubs. “What is the inducement to you?” Committee Counsel Rudolph Halley asked him in awe. “Why do you do these things?” The ex-treasury man blurted back: “For the almighty dollar! The same as you’re doing, the job you’re doing right now . . .Y Next week: Detroit;' Where Un derworld and Business World Merge. Condensed from the book, ''Crime In America,” by Estes Kefauver.

SUSPEND CONSTRUCTION Air Force Curtails Keesler Expansion MOBILE!—The District Army en gineer reported that he has re ceived instructions to suspend part of a $16,000,000 contract for addi tional construction at Keesler Air Force Base, Biloxi. Col. W. K. Wilson, Jr., Mobile district engineer, revealed that the suspended contract was with J. A Jones Construction Co., of Charlotte, and called for barracks buildings. The announcement came shortly after Keesler commander Maj. Gen. James Powell announced that the Air Force is considering curtailing a $60,000,000 base expansion pro gram. The general said the curtailment had no connection with gambling findings of a senate committee study of nearby Biloxi, Mississippi’s resort city. SCRIPTURE: Exodus 04; 29-31; 35; 40. DEVOTIONAL READING: Psalm 100. Why We Worship Lesson for November 25, 1951 Dr. Foreman F EWER than two out of every three Americans belong to any church or synagogue. Yet the trav eler across Amer- ica is never long out of sight of some house of worship. With or without a cross, with or with out paint, every few miles there will be a church or chapel or meeting house, where like- minded people meet to worship the One God. • • • Variety TT is amazing, the confusing vari- ^ ety of ways in which God is pybr licly worshipped. -Some churches are liturgical; that is, the form of the service is prescribed, printed in a book, used with little change from generation to generation. Roman Catholic churches are of this kind (though there is a wide range of de tail in the procedures of different Catholic churches); so are the Lu theran, the Reformed and the Epis copal churches, among others. Other churches are non-liturgical, or free, in their mode of worship, varying all the way from churches with optional forms of worship on out to snake-handling sects like the “Church of God with Signs Follow ing,” where you never know one minute what is going to happen next. The liturgical churches, too # are different as can be. Some liturgies are filled with chant ing, incense, long and not easy for a. stranger to follow. Other liturgies are brief and simple. ' The insides of these various kinds of churches are just as different as the interiors of hotels—all the way from the elegant Waldorf-Astoria down to the ramshackle boarding house of a frontier town. The leader of the worship may be clad In vestments gorgeous in the ex treme, or in a plain black gown, or dressed in shirt-sleeves. The “man from Mars” would be so bewildered by all this that he would ask: Is there anything at all that these different kinds of worship have in common? • • • Communion F OR an answer, we can go back more than 3,000 years to the time when Moses was organizing his people’s worship as he organized the rest of their lives. You would hardly have recognized that little “tabernacle” in the wilderness as a place of worship at all; it looked like neither church nor synagogue. And what went on in the taber nacle would look strange to a Jew of today, stranger still to a Rbrnan Catholic, strangest of all to a “non- liturgical” Protestant. And yet, what went on to make that taber nacle possible in the first place, and what went on in it afterwards, give us the answer to the question: What do all the innumerable forms of worship have in common? First of all Is communion with God. In true worship we become aware of Him; in the New Testament phrase, we “ap proach with boldness the throne of Grace.” Worship is right when it actually brings the wor shipper Into a cleansing con sciousness of the nearness of God,—when, indeed, he feels and knows that it is “in Him we live and move and have our being.” Not every one reaches this divine awareness in the same way. • • • Consecration * B UT there is another sire to wor ship: Consecration. However varied the order of worship may be, one part of it will be found nearly everywhere: the offering. This is actually one of the most important parts of the service, though it is often neg lected and “skimmed.” For the offering is not only important in itself, but it is a great symbol of what worship ought always to be, a call to dedication. Into the offering plate go bits of silver, green paper, checks . . . money? Yes, and more. This repre sents something of the life and work of the worshippers. Every man has some better moments when he would generously like to do some thing to help the world. On Sunday the church harnesses his vague good vill. It gives him a channel for his generosity. What a man gives ought never to be TO the church but THROUGH the church; it would be an expres sion of gratitude to God from one who knows that his whole life is God’s gift.

PROMOTION Central Maine Town Promotes Deer Hunting OLD TOWN, Me.—For the first time in its history the little central Maine city of Old Town decided to advertise its greatest attraction- deer hunting. According to legend the com munity was founded by a band of pioneers who settled it because it provided the best &eer hunting to be found anywhere. Be that as it may. Old Town citizens have always felt that they lived in the deer capital of the con tinent, even though they didn’t broadcast the information to any great extent. This year,-' however, the Junior Chamber of Commerce, issued a blanket invitation to hunters every where to seek venison <m the hoof on the outskirts of thor commu nity. " They published an attractive booklet telling hunters of the at tractions in the area. It said, in part: “On behalf of the city of Old Town it is a pleasure to extend to you an invitation to make Old Town your hunting headquarters.” Banter’s Breakfast To start things off on the right foot the Jaycees staged a hunter’s breakfast on the morning of the opening day of deei’ hunting in Maine. Afterwards the hunters were advised as to where to hunt in the locality for the best results. The Jaycees frankly admitted the idea of the ^promotion was to aid the community economically. But they also told the hunters that the people at the community make their living largely by employment in the town’s many industries, which draw their raw materials from the nearby forests. “As a result,” the welcoming pamphlet read, “this area not only supplies sport for you but enables our citizens to earn their livelihood. Please be careful with cigarettes and fire.” Yielded 6,002 Deer To disclaim the claims of Old Town’s boosters that the com munity is the hunting center of the northwest would be quite a job. Penobscot county, in which the town is located, yielded 6,002 deer last year, many of them in the 200- pound or over class. The county led any other in Maine by a con siderable margin. Old Towners say, and its a fact, that you don’t have to go more than 10 minutes away from the center of town to run across a deer. The community is 12 miles north of Bangor and is reached over a major highway, by transport plane and by train and bus. The Jaycees will give you any information you need about hunting or the com munity. In fact, they are so en thusiastic about their program they’ll give it to you whether you need it or not if they see you first. Gef-Rich^Quick Fever Hits Pennsylvania Town RENOVO, Pa. — The 3,700 resi dents of Renovo have the “get- rich-quick” fever and have gone into the natural gas business. The unfortunate thing, about the fever is that it has turned old friends into enemies, legal battles are flaring over long-settled prop erty, and money and strangers are pouring into the community. It started when Dorcie Calhoun, convinced that there was natural gas under his father's farm, se cured the backing of his neighbors and drilled a well. Th^ result was one of the greatest gas strikes ever in the eastern United States. After that first well “came in” in January, 1950, there has been a wild boom to obtain land. Five years ago $10,000 could have bought all of the hamlet of Kettle Creek. Only recently a firm paid a $20,000 bonus just for a lease giv ing the right to drill a well there. So far more than *100 wells have been sunk or are being drilled at a cost of approximately $60,000 each. Of the 69 operations com pleted, 45 are producing an esti mated half-billion cubic feet of natural gas daily. In cash, that is about $125,000 each 24 hours. Three pipe lines takef out the nat ural fuel. Another one is being built at a cost of $9 million. Calhoun's strike, financed by a remarkable cross-section of peo ple in the area, caught the big gas companies flat-footed.
