THE OSHAWA TIMES, Saturday, July 7, 1962 jjtario's' royal By JOHN LeBLANC _ TORONTO (CP) -- Tantaliz- ing glimpses into the half - world of bigtime organized gambling flicker before On- commission on phone|crime, but chiefly in spasmodic and often -unrelated tlashes. In public hearings since March 21 the commission has accumulated massive evidence that illegal gambling is a well- organized business on a multi- ry million-dollar scale and that in stile. Resting at the Morris Fu- sont Chanel, Bowmanville. Grave-side service at Orono Cemetery on Satur- day at 2 o'clock.

But trying to forge links of cash between crooks and offi- cialdom has been a frustrating task for the tribunal, beset by evasive or downright balky wit- nesses, missing records, faulty memories and legal roadblocks.

But the evidence appears to need considerably more tying- together if the commission is to get much further in nailing down wrongdoing than police have already done by them- selves, BIG BOOKIE PROFITS In the still - unfinished first chapter of a three - ply inquiry, the commission headed by. Mr. Justice Wilfrid Roach has been looking for corruption on the part of officials, specifically in the provincial government. Evi- dence calling for later explana- tion is on record. Untouched are the field of crime generally and the ability of Ontario law enforcement agencies to cope with. it, one of the major terms of reference of the commission. All trails so far have led in the direction of gamblers. A magistrate calculated a single Toronto bookie establish- ment was making $1,000,000 profit a year. There was evi- dence that a short-lived gambl- ing place at Peterborough (pop. 46,500) was bankrolled at $60,- 000 a night, and that a fortress DEAN -- In loving memory of a Gear mother and grandmother, Lila M.

The decrease reflected Monday's Dominion Day holiday. Output consisted of 8,717 cars compared with 9,744 and 1,583 trucks compared with 1,946. Output to date this year totals 295,095 vehicles compared with 230,866 in the corresponding period last year, made up of 248,879 cars compared with 191,- 18" and 46,216 trucks compared with 39,685. Car production by companies this week and this year to date, with figures for last week and the corresponding period last year in brackets, was: American Motors 448 (560), 11,946 (3,644); Chrysler 1,079 (1,461), 21,074 (26,500); Ford 2,834 (1,953), 70,347 (55,237); General Motors 4,180 (5,550), 140,799 02,507); Studebaker 176 (220), 4,713 (3,293). y near Windsor had an_ invest- ment of $250,000 The commission still has to come to grips firmly with the men supposed to sit atop the heap of money. These are Jo- seph McDermott, 42, who cul- tivates flowers on his esiate. at nearby Port Credit, and Vin- cent Feeley, 40, a former hotel waiter who now flies his owr plane. Principals in a string of gam- bling houses, they were. under the gun of the Ontario Pro- vineial Police before the royal commission was appointed. Early this year they were con- victed along with former OPP Const. Robert J. Wright of con- spiring to obtain police infor- mation (raid tipoffs) illegally. The three, sentenced to 1% years, have appealed. DENIED EVERYTHING Before the commission Wright has denied everything. McDer- mott is still to be called. Feeley appeared, testified that in 1954 (when he and McDermott were reputed to be really rolling) he reported taxable income of $3,120, then clammed up on the ground of self - incrimination. By the time the case had made its way to the Supreme Court of Canada -- which or- dered that he must talk -- the commission was off on new tangents, and Feeley has not yet been recalled. He and McDermott will have many questions to answer. One or another has been reported by various witnesses as: 1. Bragging of having an in at Queen's Park, seat of the provincial government. 2. Having at times an uncom- fortably close working knowl- edge of events taking place among the higher levels of the Provincial police. to about $85,000 to policemen. 4, Having an association with James A. Maloney,' Ontario mines minister, who died last year, 5. Telephoning assorted \- licemen and politicians, includ- ing Mr. Maloney, from a secret oe listing. ne witness even reported that, after looking over the field of legal gambling in the Carib- bean, they made an approach to Canadian industrial magnate E. P. Taylor, who has holdings in that area but who was not interested, yi LICENCE MYSTERY Attorney-General Kelso Rob- erts will share top billing with the gambling partners when the commission resumes sit- tings some time after mid- August. His department --*re. sponsible for the OPP -- and the names of some officials have been mentioned in testi- mony. One was on the list of those telephoned from the Mc- Dermott-Feeley number, secret until the OPP dug it out. Intervention: of the attorney- general's department in the issuance in 1957 of provincial charters to three "social" clubs was described as "extraordi- nary" by Liberal party counsel B. J. MacKinnon at the inquiry, The official reason was that this gave the provincial govern- ment @ tighter control over the clubs , which previously had federal charters. But the pro- vincial secretary's department officer who normally would rec. ommend for or against the charters found that in, this case they had been approved before 3. Offering bribes ranging il in the McDermott-Feeley string | they reached him, and without waiting for the customary OPP anti-gambling squad report on them. The by passed report turned out to be unfavorable. The clubs, in fact, were closed down one at a time over the next 4% years, but an anti - gambling squad witness said the provincial charters were not to thank for that. CHECKED ON LAWYER More recently, Attorney-Gen- eral Roberts got into the pic- ture again when it was dis- closed that he had called on Scotland Yard last year to investigate a lawyer who was talking about "corruption" in his department. Welsh-born Eric Scott of Tor- onto, the lawyer, had been junior. counsel in an_ initial unsuccessful prosecution that year of McDermott, Feeley and Wright. When he came upon some of the information that subsequently has been before the commission, he tried unsuc- cessfully to see then premier Leslie Frost about it. Balked there, he turned to Liberal Leader John Winter- meyer. When a memorandum on his findings got delayed in the mail from Mr. _ Winter- meyer's office to his, he got police after it, suggesting gam- blers may have tampered with his mail. But when he mentioned to police that he was "'investigat- ing" the alleged "corruption," the attorney-general found this out and promptly had the inves- tigator investigated. Scotland Yard's finding: "Above re- proach." MPPs MENTIONED Mr, Frost lit a brief political bonfire over the incident, com- plaining that the reasons for his refusal to see Mr. Scott had been "suppressed"? by the Liberal counsel. These were read into the record, consisting mainly of his declaration that relevant information al- ready was in the hands of the appropriate authorities, His former cabinet colleague, Mr. Maloney, was alleged to have interfered consistently in court cases and with police in his home county of Renfrew and to have dispensed depart- mental favoritism to McDer- mott and Feeley, owners of mining claims. A signature purporting to be that of Ellis P. Morningstar, Progressive Conservative mem- ber of the legislature for Wel- land, was on a letter of reference for a bookie who now is a fugitive from a USS. Smuggling conspiracy in- dictment. Mr, Morningstar said he did not recall writing the letter, found in an OPP gam- bling raid at Cornwall in 1944. PROPOSED CHARGES Arthur C. Jolley, former Con- servative MP P for Niagara Falls, admitted signing refer- ence letters for McDermott and Feeley while in the legislature Doctor Facing Charges In Baby's Death HULL, Que. (CP) -- Dr. Con- rad Simard of Hull was ar- rested Friday on a charge of jcriminal negligence in connec- jtion with the Feb. 26 death of |a three-day-old baby, provincial |police reported. | Police Sgt. J. M. Rheault said jthe charge was laid under a ;section of the Criminal Code }dealing with criminal negli- |gence that causes death. He said the 49-year-old phy- |Sician was being held in jail at |nearby Gatineau and probably | would appear before a mag- jistrate today. Earlier Friday Dr. Simard, | who had been arrested in Ot- jtawa June 28 on a coroner's ;Warrant, appeared before Mag- jistrate L. A. Sherwood in an Ottawa court and was ordered | released. Ottawa Assistant Crown At- torney Robert Vincent said there was doubt whether On- tario courts had jurisdiction. DIED IN OTTAWA The baby, Jean Bussiere, son of an unwed mother, was born at a clinic in Aylmer, six miles west of Hull, and died three days later in hospital at Ot- tawa, across the river from here. | The original coroner's war- jrant issued by Ottawa coroner Dr. Roger Rouleau said the Hull physician "was alleged to have committed man- slaughter," Dr. Rouleau issued the war- rant after a coroner's jury found him "guilty of criminal negligence" in the baby's death | The jury said death was jcaused by "excessive pressure |Of forceps" when the baby was delivered and by lack of pro- fessional care following birth. The baby died of brain hemor- jtrhage followed by pneumonia. | The coroner's jury recom. mended that the Quebec med- ical licence of the bearded phy- sician be revoked. CARGO AIDS | MONTREAL (CP)--A two-day jshow displaying advances in |cargo handling at Montreal har- |bor will be held here next fall by the National Harbors Board. | Fork-lift trucks and new cranes |will be seen in action, with films trom other ports. in 1958 but said they contained only routine phrases. The com- mission did not act on a suggestion by Mr. MacKinnon that Mr. Jolley be charged with perjury on the strength of an earlier declaration that he did not know Feeley at all and ad a bare acquaintance with McDermott. His telephone was on their list of calls. But perjury action, and pos- sibly other charges, were pro- posed to the Crown by the commission against Sammy (The Ball) Balsom, a St. Cath- arines bookie reputed to be wholesaler of police protection for a stable of joints in the Niagara area. Balsom denied everything ex- cept being a smalltime bookie but landed in hot water when the OPP revealed that for about a fortnight before his commis- sion appearance a pint - sized former colleague, Thomas (Mickey) McGroarty, had been rigged out as a perambulating radio station to broadcast con- versations with The Ball for recording in police receivers. Golf-playing Sammy promptly cancelled his entry in the Ontario Open and is awaiting developments. McGroarty and his family have been moved to a new and secret home under OPP protection. Crime Probe Gives Glimpses Of Bigtime Criminal World 'An aspect of the McGroarty evidence to be looked into Itaer is his claim that in late 1960 a dozen Canadian and U.S. gamblers met here to parcel out Ontario territories among themselves, and that one from Niagara Falls, N.Y., controlled a big slice of the terrain. And there have been other, though nebulous, references to power wielded in the province by Am- ericans perhaps through Mafia, the crime syndicate. Three major OPP figures have had key roles in evidence. Deputy Commissioner James Bartlett, No. 2 man on the force, District Insp, Allan Stringer of Peterborough and retired anti - gambling squad chief John F. Cronin all have denied allegations they were paid for tipoffs, though Cronin said he had savings of $50,000 buried in glass jars when he quit. Bartlett, since laid up with a heart attack, told of finding $1,000 in a flower pot after a visit to his home by McDerm- ott and Feeley. He said he sent it off to the pair by an inter- mediary. But the trail of the $1,000 came to a dead end, like some other avenues of eyvi- dence, when it was claimed to have ended up with a McDerm- ott-Feeley club bookie who has since died, Bunche Resents Hotel's Move ATLANTA, Ga. (AP) -- Dr. Ralph Bunche, American Negro winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, Friday night publicly voiced his resentment over an Atlanta hotel's refusal to make a room reservation for him. Bunche, undersecretary for special political affairs at the United Nations, won his Nobel laureate as mediator in the 1948-49 Palestine conflict. He raised the hotel reserva- tion question in a speech pre- pared for delivery at the an- nual convention of the National Association for the Advance- ment of Colored People. He referred at the outset of hi. speech to the Dinkler Plaza Hotel and said he brought up the matter only "to underline a point that I consider very im. portant; the press gets inter- ested in an exclusion story of this kind only if an individual Negro of some prominence is denied accommodation at a ho. tel or restaurant, although the place welcomes any white face with the money to pay." He said he granted to anyone "the right to find me accept- able as a person, as an indiy- idual; but never to indict my group and slur my ancestry as the reason for rejecting me."
