Don't itiffer,Ask year driiggist for D. D. D. PRESCRIPTION, ITC LAST MONTH — IN HISTORY CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING Finish For A Real Tough Guy "It was the first time I can ever remember crying." This was tough, gruff Ray Brennan's reaction to a gang kill- ing that gave him the juiciest exclusive' of his long, headline- spattered career as an ace Chica- go crime reporter —' a story that was splashed under Brennan's by-line in The New York Post and New York Journal-Ameri- can (in special, separate ver- sions obtained by long-distance phone interviews) and was wide- ly quoted by the Associated Press. The story was Brennan's inti- mate account '-of the last hours of Roger( The Terrible) Touhy, the paroled mobster who was gunned down last month by' two unidentified assassins. And 52- year-old Ray Brennan of The Chicago. Sun-Times had the ex- clusive. because he had left Tou- hy only a half hour before the slaying — after chatting and drinking with this one time boot- legger in the wood-paneled lounge of the Chicago Press Club. (Brennan had Scotch, Touhy had two beers.) In his by-lined piece, Brennan related that Touhy had come to the club to talk about promotion of the recently published book ("The Stolen. Years,") which . Brennan 'helped ' him prepare. "He ,was very happy abOut Avery,- thing," Brennan said, recapping • the three hours in the Press Club. "He was .almost jubilant. One crack he made was: 'After all this, maybe I'll have enough to buy, myself a place to live down in Florida now that the book's selling'." It was the kind of inside IAA' on a big story that would glad- den the heart of any newsman. lgut hard-bitten Ray Brennan wept, because Roger Touhy was his friend. And in a measure, Brennan felt responsible for Touhy's death. Still red-eyed and taut two days later, the reporter ground out one filter-tipped cigarette after another with his stubby, nicotine-stained fingers as he sat in a bare-walled con- ference room just off The Sun- -Times city room and told a Newsweek reporter: "Roger would still be alive now if it weren't for the blank, blank hook — there's no ques- tion about that. It told too much about his enemies. He was killed. by hired killers for the outfit .. a loose confederation of 'the mob' and the Mafia. This was a lesson killing. It was an example kill- ing, to show that no one defies the mob and gets away with it." In the book, Touhy insisted he had been framed by the Capone gang on charges of kidnapping Jake (The Barber) Factor — .the crime for which he spent 25 years in prison. And Brennan has believed this implicitly; he has believed it ever since he first got to know Touhy in 1934, as a 36-year-old AP correspondent at the kidnap trial. In Vokyears since then, Bren- nan has covered all the major crime stories, often with the kind of "front me" dash attributed Tibetans rebel against Chinese; Dalai Lame flees to India.

He won his reportorial spurs by tying up the long-distance phone lines front Crown, Point, Ind., in 1933 to scoop the country on John Dil- ,linger'S' toy-pistol jail break.. Af- ter moving over to The Chicago. , Times '(now `The Sun-Times)•' in 1939, he wangled an exclusive hospital interview with a gang- shooting victim by' smuggling a bottle of beer to the hoodlum's bedside. While Brennan has sometimes written emotionally of the crimes he covered, he has rarely shown much sympathy for the the crim- inals. But Touhy's case was dif- ferent because of Brennan'a be- lief in the former mobster's inno- cence. "Roger was tough, but not really vicious," Brennan said last month. "There was no more rea- son to kill that poor old b than to kill your grandmother." Brennan had no fear that he himself might be a marked man for Touhy's killers. ("They've ac- complished their' purpose," he said.) But he was equally sure that the investigation of Touhy's death would reach a dead end. "There's no possibiliti they will ever catch the real killers," he said bitterly. "As a reporter, I'll work every angle. But I'm not vain enough to think any one.: man crusade is 'going to do any good." —From NEWSWEEK DRAWBACK Who says Movies aren't edu- ciltiOnal?

OC OUP Gr•at Riot At French Races Thousands of sports- loving. Frenchmen went to the famous Longchampa race-course looking forward to a pleasant Sunday afternoon's racing. None of them imagined that within a few hours he would be caught up in a howling mob that was to injure three hundred racecourse offici- als, plunder thousands of dollars, and wreck the racecourse—all because of a "ghost race" the crowd thought should• not have been run! This "turn-up for the book"— one of the most sensational in racing history happened in. October, 1906. At first there was nothing to show that the pro- gramme would be completed other than normally. The new- fangled starting gate apparatus was working well, and the large crowd were making their way happily between their vantage points and the hundreds of little wooden huts dotted about the course that served as offices of the pari-mutuel. system,•forerun- ners of the Tote boothi that' are now so familiar a part of the- English racing scene. Then came the chief event of the programme, a free handicap in' which, ironically, the favou- rite was a horse named Storm. Ten runners went to the post. Whether. the .starter, still un- familiar with the apparatus, made a mistake and pressed" a button accidentally or whether something went wrong with the starting gate machinery .was• never discovered. 'What was cer- tain was that only half the field was ready as the tapes suddenly flees, up. Storm, the favourite, was among those left at the post. A couple of jockeys who had got away saw what had happen- ed, pulled up, and returned to the start, but the remainder went on, and by now it was too late to recall them. Isolated in his box by the win- ning post, the judge knew no- thing of what had happened at the other end of the track, and when three horses galloped past the finishing post he had no op- tion but to declare that Mon- seiur Perichon had won the race by two lengths from Mlle. Marg-' uerite, with Bethsaider third. The fact that all three were out- siders, at respective prices of 119-10, 10-1, and 100-8, was no concern of his. Nor did it matter to him officially that there was no sign of the favourite, even if privately he wondered what 'had happened to it. As there was no objection from other jockeys as to the way the three placed horses had run, the result was in 'order from his point of view, and the formal declaration of placings was made, It was, then that ,the storm broke, A crowd surged round the judge's box demanding that the race be declared void. Others made their way towards the weighing-in enclosure and the offices of• the pari-mutuel organ- ization, demanding the return ,of their stake money. Police and troops, who were always stationed at the meetings, tried to stop them, bid one of the mob seized a chair and be- NOVEMBER dampen Thanksgiving, cancer scare fails to Cranberry- -111i1:111.10Selliterd1111-1 Am SEPTEMBER Khruslicher visits America. Ipicr000ts ER Congres- io 'Seta Off their 'Waring dam Hoods Riviera 'towns killing hundreds, gan using it as a weapon to fight his way past. Immediately,, dozens more chairs were grabbed and the po- lice and soldiers found them selves helpless to cheek the ad- vance. Fencing was torn down to provide fresh clubs for the angry mob, as they smashed all 'the windows in reach, In the enclosures screaming women racegoers and their 'es- corts, who were taking no .part in the outbreak, were roughly handled if they could not get out of the way in time, and then the mob turned to the betting booths out on the course. The clerks working in them had already taken the precaution of locking themselves in, but that did not help .them. Some booths were overturned, others set on fire. • As each clerk was forced out the crowd surround- ing-him made for the tin box in which he was carrying his after- noon's takings. A .few managed to escape, but most were trampl- ed down as scores of hands grab- bed at the boxes and tipped the money into the air. In a few minutes upwards of $60,000 was tossed away. Most of it probably found its' way into the pockets of the rioters, for only .a few coins were ever dis- covered,' Fires were now• burn- ing where :the betting booths had been. Although • the troops were arfned,:• they were. powerless s , without-using-their weaponseand there- were riot enough of 'them to • cope with the. frenzied 'rioters. ,, The police made scores of ar- rests, but nearly every time they captured a man the crowd snatched him back again. Reinforcenients were called up, but they' were a long time arriv- ing, and in the meantime the fire brigades were put out of action as soon as they reached the scene. The mob cut the traces , of the horses, which stampeded, injur- ing several people, and the hoses were slashed' to ribbons. The winning post and railings had long since been turned into _fire- wood, and•a cab driver who ar- rived expecting to pick up a fare found,instead that his horse' was set free and,his vehicle tipped on to a bonfire, The chief of police then ap- peared and ordered his men and the troops to charge, but quickly accepted defeat when ,the rioters retaliated by clubbing them with anything handy. Some even tried to set fire to the soldiers' tunics! So, as it was clearly impossible to restore order, he gave instruc- tions instead to protect the stands and • office buildings as far as possible, Fortunately the horses taking part in the programme had been spirited safely away, as the riot- ers made short work of the stables when they reached them. At last, more than two hours after the rioting began, military reinforcements arrived, five hun- dred men fully armed and ready for anything. 'Their commander lined them up with the survivors of 'the troops already there -- several Of 'whom had been.badly hurt in the dashes with the crowd—and ordered them to advance where the mob was 11, LY Nixon arrives in Mos- * to open U,S, exhibition, OCTOBER Russian hidden side of moon rocket photographs .11r.

The stand survived, but Was badly damaged as much of the Planking had been ripped out te serve as weapons or fire- wood. The casualty list was stagger- ing.lhough there were only two deaths, more than three hun- dred were hurt — some from bullet wounds and stabbieg. Only one of the victims was a rioter! Somehow, the police managed to detain sixty of the many people they had arrested, and twenty-five of them were charged with incendiarism. A government inquiry was held and the stewards of the meeting were blamed for the rioting. But as they had only conformed to the rules govern- ing racing at the time, the gov- ernment also set up a committee to work out ways of modifying the rules to protect owners and the public against similar race fiascos, Loves Him For Himself Alone Often a bridegroom but sel- dom a husband for very long, 65-year-old Tommy Manville an- nounced that he will try again with a 20-year-old.
