Kefauver probes shift focus to New Jersey gambling
United States Senate crime investigators move their New York gambling inquiry toward northern New Jersey amid a graft scandal in the city. Senator Estes Kefauver says the closed hearing is not the committee’s full New York investigation. A Chicago probe previously led to questioning Police Captain Thomas Harrison about income versus assets. Harrison was dismissed in 1943 during a gambling inquiry but later rehired after a court challenge.
