#2 July 29. 1959 J.S.K,
The Daily News has been attempting at odd times in the last few weeks
to build up in the public mind an idea that the gambling and racketeering
interests are breaking their hearts to have Safety Director Reynolds re¬
moved and also Manager Puller. Facts are there is only one gambling syndi¬
cate here. It is headed by Charlie Thomas, who for years has been reputed
Dan Mahoney's principal political contact for votes among the gambling ele¬
ment. Hardly any of the syndicate's bookie joints have been molested by
Reynolds and they are eminently pleased with the present set up.
John Tempest and his sister Elipabeth came in today with a letter from
Edward H. Butler, editor of the Buffalo Evening News. It developed that
they were hitch-hiking around the world and wanted to sell us a series of
articles on Miami. They told me that they had sold some material to the
Sunday editor of the Beacon Journal in Akron. I turned them down in spite
of Mr. Butler's enthusiastic recommendation of them.
With,regards, I am
