Crime Probe Nation for Kingpin Targets Abner Zwillman
New York Aug. 1 AP Richard Moser counsel to the Senate crime committee asked a nationwide alert for Abner Longie Zwillman who is apparently a fugitive from a subpena. Zwillman once testified in Washington last March and is sought in a New Jersey probe of gangster influence. A Boston marshal reports Zwillman sailing on a 100 foot yacht Howdy Podner, possibly off to an undisclosed destination. Irving Sherman, a key link between underworld and politicians, will be the first witness as the committee resumes its crime questions in Washington Wednesday. The panel plans a day on narcotics distribution and importation with ramifications possibly touching Costello and former mayor William O Dwyer.
