Two guards at North Carolina’s Central Prison in Raleigh were convicted of bootlegging to inmates. The Enterprise notes earlier coverage was dismissed as political attack, and urges broader investigations into prostitution gambling and misuse of prison labor and state materials.

A sprawling collage notes Winchell and others banned in Argentina, Garbo dating Baron Rothschild, Ann Miller and Conrad Hilton to merge in June, Al Capone estate valued over 250000, Kefauver praised for crime exposure, and multiple society and political mentions across media, finance and famous names.
