...petty hoodlum and narcotics peddler who helped Illinois authorities trap a big-time dope pusher. Last week, his frozen body, containing six bullets, was found in the snow at the edge of a forest preserve outside Chicago. He thereby achieved a dubious fame: his murder marked the 1,000th gangster killing since the Chicago Crime Commission began keeping count in 1919. Only 13 have ended in convictions...
...belly in pathetic need to please. Dorléac plays the wife as a bitch-kitty who doesn't know she is alive unless she is sinking her claws into some poor hound. Slander, in the funniest and most sinister performance of his long screen career, plays the gangster as an amiable, fair-minded monsler who is only loo happy to kick a dog if a kick is what the dog really wants. Al 58 This magnificent crum-bum comic looks like King Kong after 30 years of marriage to Fay Wray, and when he opens his mouth...
...Chinese infiltration. "If God had meant there to be yellow men," the chief explains, "he would have made them like you and me." Hendra and Ullett, both 25, arrived at their joint lunacy three years ago when they went to work in a London nightclub owned by a Lebanese gangster.

"They canceled us in a week." The boys have since played everything from the Catskills' Borscht Belt...
Died. John T. Cahill, 62, senior partner of one of Manhattan's top corporate-law firms, a sedate Harvard Law grad ('27) who spent the rackety '30s as a public prosecutor, won convictions in 97.8% of his cases the first year, sent up Gangster Louis ("Lepke") Buchalter, Communist Earl Browder and assorted dope pushers, counterfeiters and post-Prohibition bootleggers, even boarded the Normandie to confiscate Marlene Dietrich's jewels (as collateral against back income tax claims) before she sailed, and extracted fines from Jack Benny and George Burns for purchasing items that had been smuggled through...
Died. Joseph F. McGinnis, 61, Boston gangster and mastermind of the 1950 Brinks robbery-biggest haul ($2,775,395, of which only $56,586 has been recovered) in U.S. history-who had an alibi on the night of the crime, but was betrayed by a member of his ten-man gang, convicted, and given nine concurrent life sentences; of arteriosclerosis; at the Massachusetts Correctional Institution, at Walpole...
