4 Hoodlums
Kill Moretfi;
Use 2 Slugs
CLIFFSIDE PARK, N.J., Oct.
4—(AP) Glib-tongued Willie
Moretti, pal of undprwbrld king
pins, was silenced today by- the
guns of four men who joked with
the bigtime gambler just before
the triggers were squeezed.
Authorities said the. pudgy,
balding chatterbox, who once
boasted he’d never be murdered,
had been “taken for a ride by his
friends.” .
Talkative Witness
Shot twice in the head, Moret
ti was found sprawled on a tile
floor of a small restaurant. A
waitress, who had gone into .the
kitchen just before, the shooting,
discovered the body beside a
slnall, square-topped table.
-Moretti, an intimate of the late
A 1 Capone, Frank Costello and
Joe Adonis, had been perhaps the
most, talkative witness to appear
before the Senate crime investi
gating committee. Former .Mayor
O’Dwyer of New York told the
committee Willie was one of the
directors of Murder, Inc.
Sen. Kefauver (D-Tenn.) for
mer chairman of the committee,
the _ slaying, by a Senate
reporter, said, “it is pretty clear
that Moretti talked too much and
had been talking too much for too
long. He was one of the most co
operative witnesses we heard.”
Crime-sleuth Rudolph Halley in
New York echoed Kefeuver’s sen
timents. He said gangsters, may
have ordered the mobster’s execu
tion because he “talked too
much.”

Reds
Site
The Allied proposal came two
hours after release here of the
Reds’ flat refusal, to accept Ridg
jvay’s offer made a week ago to
move the talks, from Kaesong to
Songhyon, a ruined, village in no
man’s land..
Ridgway Asks New Site
. The Communist message, ending
a seven-day silence by the Reds,
again proposed the armistice del
egates return to Kaesong.
Ridgway in his brief message
to the Chinese and North Korean
commanders reiterated that his
UN command finds Red-controlled
Kaesong an unsuitable place for
resuming the talks. Noting .the
Red rejection on his proposal to
meet at Songhyon, he said,. “I
propose that our delegations meet
at a site, selected by you and ac
ceptable to me approximately
midway between our respective
front lines.”
Battle Blazes Anew '
Ridgway insisted that the talks
must be conducted in “an area
which is not under the exclusive
control of either" side.”
The sudden exchange of. mes
sages came as fierce fighting
blazed along, the - Korean , war
front. ' The Eighth Army , was
pushing its ’ “autumn offensive”
proclaimed by Gen. James A-
Van Fleet.

Truman Backs
Security Order
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4-h'AP)—
President Truman said today he
issued his hotly-disputed security
order because a survey showed
that “the newspapers and slick
magazines” had published 95 per
cent of the nation’s secret infor
mation.
He said this is what he -is trying
to stop. He disavowed any effort
at censorship, said he hates it, and
has np desire to curb freedom of
the press.
During the question period,
Truman said publishers have a
responsibility not to print infor
mation that might help an
enemy even though it has been
cleared by a government agency.
This, puzzled newsmen, but the
President repeated that this was
what he meant.
Senator / Lectures /
GOP's Gabrielson
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4 (API-
Republican National Chairman
Guy Gabrielson testified today he
tried to get the presidency of the
New York Stock Exchange for an
RFC director last year. Senator
Nixon\ (R-Cal.) lectured him
sharply for the effort.
Gabrielson. said he acted in be
half of Harvey Gunderson, a Re
publican member of the old RFC
board, who left it last Oct. 12.
Nixon told his party chief that
his sponsorship of Gunderson
certainly creates a bad impres
sion,” since Gabrielson’s gas re
fining company then owed the Re
'cpnstruction Finance Corporation
$18,500,000.
Dr. George L. Haller, dean -of
the School of Chemistry and
Physics, has announced that 61
