Racing Service Profits Told
Two Kansas City witnesses testified their racing news business grossed 40 000 dollars a year from a 7 500 dollar investment but refused to answer questions about Kansas City’s 34 500 000 dollar annual gambling racket. They said answers could incriminate them. The witnesses Teno Lococo and Eddie Spitz Osadchey were partners in the Standard News Service of slain mobster Charles Gargotto before a senate commerce subcommittee. Osadchey admitted the service received racing news from the General News and Publishing Company in Chicago. A Western Union executive testified that Chicago’s General News Service Bureau leases a Western Union wire for transmitting racing news. The senate approved the special inquiry by 36 to 35, with Republicans losing the fight to place it under the judiciary committee. Vice President Barkley cast the deciding vote. Final approval passed 69 to 1.
