City and Federal rewards for informa-jtion leading to the capture, dead or alive,&#39;01 Louis Lepke! Buchalter now come to.a total of $30,000-since the Board� of Esti-mate raised the city�s offer to $25,000.g That is a lot of money for government

to give away for the capture of a racketeer-enough to pay a year�s home relief fortwenty-tour families or to support 6,000refugee children abroad or to build tensmall suburban homes.

The $30,000 is being offered in anattempt to persuade some one of the manypersons who must know Lepke�s where-abouts to tell the police despite the fearof gangster reprisals. The reward is

loffered to make it seem worth the chance.In this case the reward should produce

results. Any one who gives a clue toLepl-:e�s hideout can be sure of full pro-tection trom United States AttorneyCahill or District Attorney Dewey. Theywill- keep the name of the informantsecret. - �

The very fact that fear of reprisalsfrom the Lepke mob e:_<ists_ justi�es theo�ering of so large a reward. The Lepke

"mob, by committing a series of murdersof potential witnesses against its chief, p tthe racketeer�s weapon of terrorism to t :8te �against the weapons of civilized go &#39;-18 pment. The government has a right &#39;o�u h its arsenal. . .

When the trial came in 1938,the fear instilled by the racketeerscreated a cynical attitude. E�.&#39;ery-one was saying that the twowould go seat lree. that no onewould dare to identify them.

But Potash put the finger onGurrah, revealing his connectionswith the buses racketeering as-sociation. So did Sam Burt, man-
