Saturday’s Chicago newspapers carried the traditional memorium signed by the “loving wife and chil dren” of slain mobster Sam De- Stefano, reputed to be one of the crime syndicate’s bloodiest butch ers. The tributes appear each year on the anniversary of DeStefano’s death. “Darling,” the family wrote, “the silent tears are with us every day, seems the pain just won’t go away. You can’t come back, we know this is true, but we know that you know how much we miss and love you.” The DeStefano case record lies in a police homicide file gathering dust. Any homicide cop will say, confiden tially, that the case will remain open but will never be solved. Such cases, they say, seldom are. DeStefano’s life was ended on April 14, 1973, by two shotgun blasts. At the time of the slaying, DeStefano was awaiting trial on murder charges. He was accused of the 1963 slaying of a reputed loan shark who was im paled on a meathook, beaten with a baseball bat, stabbed repeatedly with an ice pick, shot and, finally, stuffed in the trunk of a car. DeStefano’s body was found lying in a pool of blood in the garage of his West Side home. Investigators theorized the syndi cate ordered DeStefano killed be cause of his threat to “take a lot of people with me” if he was convicted in the murder case. DeStefano, who allegedly headed the city’s juice loan racket, was known for violent outbursts. Once, while being held in the Cook County Jail, DeStefano went on a rampage, destroying plumbing and other fixtures in his cell and screaming that he would have the syndicate kill the warden, the guards and their families.

But instead of revelations of in competence or cover-up, the 1,200 pages depict conscientious men con fused about an event nobody had planned for, angry at the nuclear plant operators but trying to work smoothly with them, and genuinely worried about public safety.

Unlike Richard Nixon’s Watergate tape transcripts, there was no “smok ing gun” evidence here, and only a few expletives deleted. But like those blockbuster tapes, these pages show besieged govern ment officials fretting over the public relations fallout from their decisions. In fact, the commissioners antici pated most of the questions that would be flung at them by the media and the six congressional committees now planning to rake over the NRC’s crisis management record. “I suppose somebody will want to know, did we behave ourselves in this particular incident?” com mented Chairman Joseph Hendrie, sometimes evasive in front of Con gress but an authoritative voice within the commission. Aware President Carter would appoint a commission to investigate the affair, Hendrie told his col leagues they could let the panel come in “and then simply stand back and order the staff to be fully cooperative, and let it go forward, and let the report issue as it will.” There was no evidence, as some had suspected, of a self-serving con spiracy between the NRC and Met ropolitan Edison, the utility whose brand new atomic power plant failed to meet safety standards. Harold Denton, the NRC’s top regulatory staffer, began criticizing “Met Ed” as soon as he learned it had vented radioactive gas into the air Friday morning, March 30. He accused plant operators of “piddling around” and withholding vital information, saying that the data was very difficult to obtain. Days later, Denton was, in effect, running both the plant and the NRC’s public relations. He stressed the need to establish better working relations with the plant operators. But he also said the utility people wanted to move too slowly in trying to bring the crisis under control. Commissioner John Ahearne said an explanation of some kind was needed for the “three-quarters of a million people sitting on the edge of their chairs, intense.’’ Denton agreed. Although a general evacuation was never officially recommended, it weighed heavily on the discussions after the March 30 radiation release. Denton and NRC safety director Roger Mattson recommended evacuation early on, but later agreed it wasn’t necessary. The commissioners also re lentlessly questioned and second- guessed the plant operators and themselves on the possibility of a devastating explosion from the hy drogen bubble inside thei containment building. They worried about ri levels in the air and in then about news reports — mosti fairly accurate, it turned out might unduly alarm the puli I They spent hours that first 1 real crisis — March 30-diJ news release.
