DETAILS _ Last night's program, entitled "The Frank Nitti Story," was narrated by Walter Winchell. No mention of the FBI is made; _ however, the violation of extortion is clear-cut. Ness is also shown making an arrest on a Mann Act warrant which is clearly FBI jurisdiction. Briefly, the program is as follows: The story is localized in Chicago, Illinois, in 1934 and it is noted that prohibition has been repealed. Frank Nitti, described as Al Capone's successor, decides to concentrate on the motion picture world as a means of replacing the money he lost with the end of the prohibition era. He begins intimidating some of the theater owners and in one attack, Nitti's chief enforcer, Louis Companian, throws acid in the theater owner's face, which blinds him. . co . _ After "signing up" some of the independent theater managers in his protection plan, Nitti starts "working on" the Star Theater chain which has approximately 1,000 theaters under its management. Jerry Dockstone, the Chicago manager of the Star chain, is approached by the two front men of the Nitti gang, Sidney Rogers and Ramsey Lennox, ~ a former attorney. Dockstone refuses to pay tribute to them and _ immediately the Star Theaters become the focal point of beatings, destruction of property and mysterious explosions. ‘Dockstone agrees to cooperate with Ness; however, before he can do s0, he is killed when his car is wired with dynamite and he dies in the explosion. Oo, The owner of the Star chains, J. M. Miller, comesto . Chicago from Florida with $100, 000 to pay off the extortion demand of Nitti. Nitti is not satisfied with this money and also demands that Miller sign up local managers under his control for protection in the amount of 5 per cent of their gross. The Star chain has an annual gross of approximately $100, 000, 000 and Nitti demands $5, 000, 000 ofthis - figure. Miller agrees to do this.
