12-0+9223 CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6. over¥to Luciano by Rocce Fischetti, Other of nis friends are dove addicts. In a raid on Lucieno's home by the Italian police they collected, among cther things, a solid gold cigarette case bearing tne inscription: 'Te my deal nal, Lucky, from his friend, FRANK GINATRA.' According to newspaper accounts, less than twe years ago SINATiA made a trip te Italy where it was reported he openly attended Luciano's parties, "You have here three wanton breaches of the law: Sex charge arrest in wew Jersey. Illegal possession of a gun, even after having it tekxen awey from him by the sherifl, a person of authority, after which he continued to carry one. And complicity with criminals and in crime. Today he still boasts on his radio program that; ‘'wost of my friends are in oriscn,! Nhy is this entertainer permitted to.have full rein in the profession? The Government, the oress, and the radio are hard at work trying to prosecute all these criminals, gangsters, and racketeers. The radio has over the summer macnths given an outstandi: public service ir this connection, even having an interview with Moretti cn one pregram (the network thet will hire SINATRA again for five years!) and all the leading publications are running lead articles on drug addiction among the young and on Luciano and his crimes. Yet nobody bothers to see that SINATRA comes in for his snar in this nefarious matter. Frankly, we feel he is anything but the sort of entertaincr to have before the teen~agers as a pattern to follow to become successful. Of course, it's all right to have sex orgies (the papers are full of them today), it's perfectly all right to break the law and carry guns even after you have been anprehended and werned against it, it's perfectly all right tc be close friends with the top criminals of the country and to help them and have them put you on the top where you receive a fantastic income. It's a nice example for youth, isn't it? He breaks the law on three counts, goes free; has all the wrong associations and people anplaud him, carries a gun, so that's all right; aids criminals and that's all right, teo. de comes out on top. Hollywood has erroneously described him as ‘the symbol of underprivileged Anerican youth.' Nothing- could be farther from the truth} He's synonymous with criminals, crime, hoodlumism, gangsters, and his elmost daily immorality is enough in itself without all the other more heinous activities, ‘what has SINATRA gone free? We recd from time to time of one of the entertainers in Hollywcod committing an offense for the first time, not as bad as SINATRA's offenses, and an uproar is made and he is arrested, fined and jailed, but SINATRA goes free.
