His five man committee will probe organized crime links to politics, gambling operations, race track bookmakers, policy rings, narcotics, and lotteries. The inquiry may also examine the sending of crime books via the mails. A perjury test is underway on Frank Erickson's testimony relating to his ties with Frank Costello.
