Frank Sinatra wants out from under mt clan tagdescription, mostly by columnists, in referring to professionalprivate associations of such cronies as Peter Lawford, Sammy D_BVl.l.Jr., Dean _Ma1-tin, etc., etc. _Smger-actor made move to bury the tagyesterday 1n s statement which said: ' . - - .' _ -'
Au far as I know, the various guilds that are part of my profo-.j
sic-rel life are the only organized groups to which l belong. The clan-is a figment of sorneone's imagination. Naturally, people in Hollywood,

gather together in childish fraternities as some people would like to
think. Life magazine coined the phrase, The Clan, in an article, andit stuck with everyone except the people who are supposed to belong to
it. There is no such entity as the c an and there never has been. Iam fortunate to have many friends and many circles of friends, hutthere are no membership cards." ' f
Term clan, by Webstei-s definitions, is: ._ ' ' _
Pertains to: l. A race; a family; a tribe; an associatifin of sonsunder a chieftain. Among the Highlanders of Scotland, a clan edmo the common descendants of the same progenitor.
_ 2._ Still with Webster!: A clique, sect, society, or body of pe ns
cl{sely united by some common interest or pursuit; in this sense lied
contemptuously.

who are always investigating somebody, many of our most
brilliant writers have had to serve prison terns...it is
mighty hard to try to tell a youngster 8,10 or 12 years

going to prison because here in America he does not have 1
freedom or speech. '1
that is the aneier? Certainly not KEHNEY...if
he lives to be President for 100 years, he would have to
prove anything he said 50 times and I'd only believe half

good and sufficient reason for this letter inasmuch as very, very large

even in the niddlenest, judging from the correspondence I have received,
find it inconceivable that this person has not been called to account

still boasts on his radio program that: "Host of my friends are in pris

"'why is this entertainer permitted to have full rein in the profession?
The Government, the press, and the radio are hard at work trying to pros-
ecute all these criminals, gangsters, and racketeers. The radio has over
the summer months given an outstanding public service in this connection,
even having an interview with Horetti on one program the network that
will hire Sinatra again for five years!! and all the leading publication:
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 share in this nefarious matter. Frankly, we feel he is anthing
but the sort of entertainer to have before the teen-agere as a pattern ti
follow to become successful. Of course, it's all riaht to have sex or-
gies the papers are full of them today!, it's perfectly all right to
break the law and carry guns even after you have been apprehended and we:
nod against it, it's perfectly all right to be close friends with the to;
criminals of the country and to help them and have them put you on the
top where you receive a fantastic income. It: e nice example for youth,
isn't it? He breaks the law on three coute, goes free; has all the
wrong associations and people applaud hie; carries a gun, so that's all .
right; aids criminals and thatis all right, too. He comes out on top.

"'"American Youth". hothing could be farther from the truth! Hols syn-
onymous with criminals, crimes, hoodlumism, gangsters, and his almost
daily ihnorality is enough in itself without all the other heinous acti-
vities. Ihat has Sinatra gone free? we read from time to time of one o
the entertainers in Hollywood committing an offense for the first tine,
not as bad as Sinatra's offenses, and an uproar is made and he is arrest
ed, fined and jailed, but Sinatra goes free. There must be something
radically wrong. People here in the east are writing to the network pro
testing hie further employment. The same network denouncing crime and
criminals will give him a five~year contract next month. They are Writ-

about this odious individual who should be removed from the entertain-

not a good example particularly at this time when the emphasis is on the
protection of the young in this very field criminals, crime, hoodlums,
gangsters, rackets, drug addiction, narcotics in all its ugly phases.

pointed out that the key to the control of the operations in Las Vega!
was in the counting room and that only a select few have access or know-
ledge regarding the true counts. He continued that there are legitimate
people who are investors in the various hotels but that their investi-

which they draw six percent or less and do not share in the lucrative

As an example of possible legitimate investors, he named FRANK SINATRA.
He said that he believes that FRANK SINATRA probably does not share in
profits from the casinos even though SINATRA is well known as being an
associate of certain mobsters. He expressed the opinion that the variou
casinos bring in many legitimate well known individuals to make it ap-
pear that the entire operation is legitimate. -

he was undoubtedly acting in the position of nominee.
"Source expressed the opinion that the same circum-

entertainers such as FRANK SINATRA and DEAN MARTIN. He
noted that the entertainers might be given one or two
points in order to insure their future services as
entertainers at that one particular hotel, Source in-

not be permitted to obtain more than one or two points
a_ince the management of the Les Vegas establishments
does not desire to share any more than possible such
lucrative investments.
"Source stated that it would be foolish to believe
that stockholders in Les Vegas hotels did_not receive
some return on their inwestment...and stated that this
would be interwoven with and paid from proceeds and earn
ings of the hotel and casino, particularly the casinos
whichxare taken off the top and not accounted for for

....Tha source said that he did not know but assumed
that the leaders or the group he termed the Eastern

Source stated that based on his experience and sources
he concludes that considerable money is being divided
among the mobsters on which tax is not paid. ....
He continued that there are legitimate people who are
investors in the various hotels but that their invests
ments, in all probability, are purely investments in
the real estate for which they draw six percent or less
and do not share in the lucrative profits skimed from
the casino operations. He estimated that the take off
the top in the casinos runs into many millions each
year and that this-is all handled in cash and dis-
tributed by courier.
As en example of pos ate investors, he
named FRANK SINATRA. e said that he believes that
FRANK SINATHA probably does not share in profits from
_.the casinos even though SINATRA is well known as being
an associate of certain mobsters. He expressed the
opinion that the various casinos bring in many legit-
imate well known individuals to make it appear that
the entire operation is legitimate. '
