It is a story of perjured detectives gang wars organized crime overthrown convictions imprisoned law enforcement officers and prosecutors faulty police work and corrupt officials. "Vincent 'Jimmy the Hammer' Massaro was hit by the mob. His death generated conspiracy prosecutions against what was alleged to be the top echelon of the organization in Rochester New York. The testimony of informers including two of the alleged triggermen and detectives who surveilled mob meetings where Massaro's fate was plotted produced convictions. But there had been no surveillances. Detectives admitted perjuring themselves. Alleged mobsters were released from prison. A bloody gang war erupted and Federal Indictments were returned against Detectives and Prosecutors. A saga of fabricated evidence and corruption unprecedented in the war against organized crime.

The author served in the 328th Infantry of the 82nd Division. Holden came from "distinguished Confederate stock". The 328th Infantry Regiment was a unit of the United States Army. Organized during World War I as part of the 82nd Division the regiment took part in combat in France as part of the American Expeditionary Forces. Its most famous member was Alvin York who received the Medal of Honor for heroism near the Decauville railway line of Chatel-Chéhéry as part of the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. The 328th manned its positions in the Toul sector until early August when the 82nd Division was relieved by the 89th Division and moved to reserve positions around the towns of Troussey and Rigny-la-Salle. In September the 328th Infantry took part in combat around the town of Norroy as part of the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. Subsequent advances moved the regiment closer to the town of Vandieres and it sustained numerous casualties. Between September 24 and 26 the regiment moved to the Argonne Forest and occupied former French positions on the first's southeastern edge. On October 7 the 328th Infantry advanced near La Forge intending to seize key terrain from the Germans and take possession of the area's Decauville railroad. Fighting continued into October 8 and when American forces were prevented from advancing by German machine guns in key locations including one known as Hill 223 a detachment of soldiers from the regiment's Company G attempted to infiltrate German lines and capture them. The detachment of 17 had captured a large group of German soldiers when sudden German fire resulted in nine casualties leaving Corporal Alvin York in charge of the remainder. York left his men in charge of the prisoners and worked his way into position to attack the machine guns. After York killed several German soldiers with his rifle and used his pistol to kill six more as they rushed at him their commander offered to surrender. The Company G detachment returned to the regimental command post with 132 prisoners. The regiment was able to continue its attack towards the railroad and York later received the Medal of Honor. The 328th continued to fight through the rest of October primarily near the town of Sommerance. <br/>On November 4 the regiment took over positions in Maxey-sur-Vaise Montigny-devant-Sassey and Burey-en-Vaux where they remained on the defensive rotated soldiers off the front lines for leave in the rear area and received replacement soldiers to take the places of the killed and wounded. Between November 10 and 18 the 328th Infantry marched to new positions near Dijon. They were in Neufchâteau Vosges on November 11 when they received word of the Armistice that ended the war.

194113411Riverdale N.Y.: Frank A. Parker 1941. Three issues of Frank A. Parker's far right mimeographed newsletter which began with Vol. II No. 1 in September 1940 and was superseded by The Green Mountaineer in 1942 which ran until 1945. What Parker referred to as Vol. I was what he described as "several hundred miscellaneous 'mimeos'; and letters of the author published in the New York SUN since early in 1938 on these same general subjects." Parker discussed compiling these into a book but we're unsure whether it was ever published. <br /> <br /> Both newsletters focused on economic matters the Federal Reserve Lend-Lease "isolationism" American nationalism and cryptically Jews. Regarding the latter on the last page of the Vol. II No. 1 issue Parker discusses the platform for his Independent Constitutional Party which he maintains "will never accept or give favors to that class of people and their accomplices who have sought to wreck the Republic of the United States ever since its founding; neither will they buy their goods borrow their money installment or otherwise or even use it when avoidable patronize their press radio amusements speculation and gambling devices; or even patronize advertisers using such services." <br /> <br /> Included here are issues Vol. II No. 1 4 p.; September 22 1940; Vol. II No. XVIII 2 p.; January 28 1941 and Vol. II No. XIX 4 p.; February 7 1941. Other material includes a sheet reprinting two Parker letters to the Independent Republican Committee for Bronx Co. announcing his resignation in favor of an Independent Constitutional Party and a two-page memorandum solicting funds for an Independent Economic Survey magazine stapled to his Syllabus of Important Economic Facts 8 p.<br /> <br /> All items consist of stapled mimeographed sheets various pagination. Most have penciled notations labeling Parker as an 'anti-Semite' 'pro-Nazi' and 'Native Fascist'. Scarce. Only five institutions with any issues of either Deeds Without Names or The Green Mountaineer. Frank A. Parker unknown
