Nationwide crime probe asks if a mob syndicate exists
Senate panel led by Estes Kefauver launches a nationwide inquiry with investigator staff to probe crime across cities.

Backers note state laws vary on gambling, especially pari mutuel racing. Massachusetts figures estimate annual U.S. gambling at about 21.5 billion dollars across tracks, illegal handbooks, sports pools, numbers, and slot machines.
