Costello Not Deportable, McGrath Tells Senate
Attorney General McGrath testified that Frankie Costello, a New York racketeer and naturalized citizen since 1925, cannot be denaturalized or deported under current law. He noted Costello’s single serious-crime conviction in 1915 and explained deportation requires two such offenses within five years of entry. He dismissed reports of DOJ denaturalization methods and urged tighter perjury laws while preserving press freedom. The hearing on crime and reform continued with witnesses including Wayne Coy and Abner Zwillman.

Governor To Sign Liquor Bill Ends Indian sale ban
Governor Howard Pyle said he will sign a bill ending the state ban on selling liquor to Indians after meetings with Hua lapai and Supai representatives. Federal law remains in effect. The measure, introduced by Rep. E. C. Johnson, was pushed by tribes who called restrictions discriminatory. Tom Dodge, son of Chee Dodge, supported the bill.
