SILSBY, shown above, may not look it, but he is a hard man-a tough criminal. Yet he does have at least one redeeming quality
-his willingness to frankly expose the methods of organized crime in its perpetrating of wholesale robbery, extortion and
murder. It is best that the youth of our country should know what is actually happening around them, and learn of its fright-
ful penalty in the end. Not part, but ALL of these enemies of society pay the penalty. Those who do not get bumped off
by their own "pals," eventually land in prison. They escape for a time-yes. But ONLY FOR A TIME.
