According to Miss Ottenbergs story. the Attorney General of the United States was interested in the following legislation: 1. More control over gambling in Interstate commerce. 2. Measures to expedite court procedures in order to prevent long delays in deporting gangsters. 3. Extension of the immunity statutes into more criminal fields to compel the small fry of the underworld to inform on their bosses. Mr. Kennedy put particular emphasis on deportation because a number of major underworld figures are subject to deportation action but wage successful delaying actions through the courts. "If a criminal has enough money." he explained yesterday. "he can delay deportation for 12 or 15 years. That was not the intent of Congress." He cited particularly the case of Carlos Marcello. of Louisiana. described as one of the principal crime figures in the United States. Marcello has been fighting off deportation since 1952. I repeat what I said in my opening remarks. the Congress owes it to the people of the United States to enact this legislation.
