Last week Mickey's social career suffered a slight interruption. Detectives burst into his East Side apartment, found him with a pretty, blonde model named Sylvia Eder, hauled both of them off to jail, and charged Mickey with being a "common pimp...
...when Davie starts raving about the roadside diner he can buy for $300, and spouting the combination and cash contents of the rickety old safe, Pa Eder-ly's eyes blink without tears. Pretending a fear of robbers, Pa and the family stoke the safe with $300. "Given money, wheedled money, is always back to wheedle again," Pa muses.

For a while he had also informed the Russians about the West, but the Reds discovered that he took pay from both sides. They decided that he had better be put out of the way. Frankey and Abel accepted the commission. They lured Eder into a borrowed jeep by telling him that he was wanted by U.S. authorities. After Eder had been delivered...
