Touhy Widow Wants to
‘Get Away from Mob’
CHICAGO, OP — "I want to
wipe my feet of Chicago and Illi
nois. I want to get away from
the mob.”
So spoke the widow of Roger
Touhy, prohibition era gang
leader who was shot from am
bush December 16 only 23 days
after his parole from Stateville
Prison.
Clara Touhy had told a Probate
Court hearing Monday that her
late husband died broke and had
no assets of consequence.
“■Nothing matters at all any
more,” she said with finality.
“Nothing but the child. And she
must not toe hurt."
The child is Mrs. Touhy’s only
granddaughter. She believes her
notorious grandfather is confined
in a convalescent home.
The girl doesn’t even know her
name is Touhy, for Mrs. Touhy
and her two sons, Thomas, 33, and
Roger Scott, 34, long ago took
other surnames.
Mrs. Touhy lives with Thomas
and her granddaughter in sub
urban Park Forest.

GSA Files Protest
To Hike in Alaska
Cargo Tarrifs
WASHINGTON, UR — The Gen
eral Services Administration says
a proposed 10 per cent increase in
water freight rates to Alaska
would add more than $45,000 to
its transportation costs.
The agency in filing a protest
against the proposed increase,
said it shipped 14,885 tons to
Alaska in 1959 through its federal
supply service.
Both the GSA and Alaska ask
an investigation and suspension of
the proposed increase, which
automatically becomes effective
next Sunday unless the Federal
Maritime Board takes other
action.
The increase is asked on
grounds of increasing costs by the
Pacific Coast-Alaska Freight Con
ference, made up of the Alaska
Steamship Co. and the Coastwise
Line.
The GSA document refers to a
general 15 per cent increase in
rates between Alaska and other
Pacific Coast ports approved in
October, 1958.
“Because of this recent and sub
stantial general increase of rates
there is no apparent need for fur
ther increases at this time,” the
GSA protest stated.
“The carriers should be re
quired to submit justifications for
their proposed additional ten per
cent increases of rates at a hear
ing before the board, and the
board is requested to deny the
increases, or any part of them,
found not just and reasonable,”
it added.
The GSA said the board “should
discount representations of the
carriers, made at this time, as
unduly pessimistic in relation to
revenue needs.”
The GSA said the company
predicts for 1960 the same ton
nages as estimated for 1959. How
ever, it added, ‘a strike of con
struction workers during 1959 un
doubtedly had an effect on these
tonnages, and in 1960 freight ton
nages should increase to amounts
greater than in 1958.”
On the other hand, the GSA
noted, if tonnages should decline
Western Hotels Inc.
Reports Millions Spent
In Property Improvements
PORT AND, Ore., Uf> — Western
Hotels said yesterday it spent
nearly 3 million dollars last year
on major improvements to its
properties in the West.
Edward A. Carlson of Seattle,
executive vice president of the
hotel chain, said major improve
ments were in Seattle and Belling
ham, Wash.; Portland, San Fran
cisco, Denver and Butte Mont.
Carlson said the chain did 55
million dollars worth of business
in 1959, and is well along on its
multi-million dollar expansion
and modernization program.
He said new properties acquired
last year included the $3,400,000
Edgewater Hotel in Vancouver,
B. C., and the Westward Hotel in
Anchorage where a $2,900,000
building program is under way.
in 1960, that fact would indicate
that rates are so excessive and
unreasonable as to discourage
and divert traffic.”
The .board has also received a
number of objections to the in
crease from individuals and
groups in Alaska.
The state’s Congressional dele
gation asked the GSA to request
a hearing, saying “We feel the
proposed rate increase will result
in inflationary consequences to
the Alaskan economy.”
