Said Showing Signs Of Cracking

By JAMES M. LONG

PALERMO, Sicily (AP)——The “birds” are singing in Sicily,

Police say the informers are finally talking, at last cracking the wall of silence that has stood for centuries between the law and the lawless on this island of the dreaded Mafia.

If the w ll can be broken down, it may mean the end of the Mafia, Sicily's so - called “honored society," after seven centuries sodden with the blood of unwanted thousands slain for power, profit or vengeance.

A year ago, before a massive police crackdown began. it was easy to hear fascinating stories about th Mafia. In any village you could find someone willing to talk—naming no names. He would pull open his jacket to show the short gun stuffed in his pants we and, give you a cold-eyed stare, and start off: "Well, I don’t speak for myself, ofh course. But I haVe a cousin w. o 0!

Today the waistband pistol is hidden. And it is hard to find a Sicilian who has a cousin.

The ‘honored society" thrived through the medieval days of foreign conquerors. It survived everything that Mussolini’s fas- cism could do to Wipe it out. It endured the violent opposition of postwar communism, and held its own against the assault of modern trade unions.

GONE UNDERGROUND Sicilians think the loose-knit alliance of "families" of the lawless league has merely gone underground, ready to ritse against as strong as ever. It has always done so in the past. Mafia. elder brother of the old American “Black Hand"

Time and the taste of blood and power brought a cruel metamorphosis.

It imposed the rule of omerta ‘

Don Calogero Vizzini, who police say ruled the Mafia for years as "chief of chiefs," finally died. Internal strife developed as regional Mafia chieftains tried to take over control But there was a new and deadly factor in the struggle for power. Scores o depo gang- sters were coming home to Sic- ily from their tough trainin schools in the underworld of the big cities of the United States. The old - school "respected men" of the Ma 'a were men of deceptively mild manner and old world courtesies. They did not dirty their hands with law- breaking or violence of their

wn. The new school of Mafia im- ports were ﬂashy dressers, tough talkers, and Ztrigge their own guns. WILD GANG BATTLES Gang battled gang in bloody ambushes on the mountain roads and in pitched gunfights in broad daylight in the city streets. Palermo alone has counted 560- vlolent deaths since 1961, most of them attributed to the

Mafia.

Last July the tempest broke.

Seven policemen and two gar- age workers died in a dynamite explosion. In distant Rome, Par- liament acted. Carabanieri. It- a-lf’s national police, went on a war fotting against the “hon- ored society."

New laws cut down the pro- tection that even Omerta had always given.

In one: drastic opening move, almost 16,000 local police were transferred overnight from the western Sicilian Mafia country to lassignments in continental lta .

Zorln Hits At Both West And Red Cihina

MOSCOW tReuters)—Valerian Zorin, Soviet deputy foreign minister, who heads the Soviet delegation at the Geneva dis- armament conference, has at- tacked the Western powers and Communist China together for their opposition to Soviet dis- armament moves.

Zorln said in an article in the government newspaper Izvestia Monday the Chinese leaders had ranged themselves “in company wt most aggressive imper- ialist circles. hindering every means of easing international tension."

But Zorln's criticism of the West was ly less severe.

The Soviet Union had great difficulty in bringing about its disarmament program “above

the Western powers to take any

e We'st‘ for peace. but said there was no- need ‘to~ discuss these "absurd assertions which
