THE NAME ON A BUILDING
By Sherman H. Skolnick

This is the story of two brothers and a federal office building 
in Chicago. John C. Kluczynski was born 1896, his brother Thomas 
E., 1903. Starting in the 1920s, they and their family ran a 
restaurant in the Windy City, on Milwaukee Avenue. It was a 
criminal enterprise -- gambling deals and arranging bribes to 
public officials.

John became a member of the State legislature in the 1930s. By 
1950, a Congressman. Thomas became a judge in 1950, starting in 
Cook County Circuit Court. He went on to Chicago's highly corrupt 
Illinois Appellate Court, 1st District. By 1966, he was on the 
Illinois Supreme Court.

Thomas used old-time mob methods to avoid having his phone calls 
overheard by wire-taps. He had a big-old rumbling fan with a 
switch right near the phone. When the phone rang, even in the 
middle of winter, the noisy fan made it hard to eavesdrop.

Called "Klu" for short, the brothers were interlocked with 
gangsters that had the food and beverage concessions in the Park 
District and such.

Tom Klu became a stockbroker in and consultant to the United of 
America Bank, formed jointly with CIA and mafia money to launder 
funds for the CIA's 1961 plan to invade Cuba at the Bay of Pigs. 
Fellow stockholder in this small, closely-held bank was gangster- 
mouthpiece Irv Kupcinet, gossip columnist for the Chicago *Sun- 
Times*. Patriarch of a large, corrupt law firm, Albert Jenner, 
jr., was a director of the bank. He was a member of the infamous 
Warren Commission, whitewashing CIA's role in the assassination 
of President Kennedy.

In 1969, our group touched off the largest judicial bribery 
scandal in the nation's history -- half the judges of the 
Illinois Supreme Court went to the wall. As their defense 
counsel, Jenner failed to protect all the judges except Thomas E. 
Kluczynski. Tom Klu's national security role with the mafia/CIA 
bank was enough to let him walk away from the mess. After all, 
the judge was also tightly wound into the Cook County Sanitary 
District, site of uncorrected corruption for decades and decades. 
Benefitting for many years with the Kluczynski brothers from the 
Unsanitary District rip-offs was Henry Crown, infamous head of a 
family fortune started in cement and gravel, Material Service 
Corp., based on massive bribery of judges and such. The Crowns 
were major stockholders of war monger, General Dynamics.

A former top Justice Department official confirmed to us that 
Judge Kluczynski on a rather regular basis had breakfast on 
Saturday mornings in a restaurant in Lincolnwood, a Chicago 
suburb. Usually meeting there and negotiating business with him 
were known gangsters. When the judge retired, he became a 
"fixer", corruptly hushing up wiretapping scandals as a so-called 
"consultant" for Illinois Bell Telephone Co., now part of 
Ameritech. As we have told you in exclusive stories, the phone 
company has a crooked past -- just like these Kluczynski 
brothers.

So, it should come as no surprise, when they built the second 
federal office building in Chicago, they named it, naturally, the 
John C. Kluczynski Federal Building. To some, it was the same as 
calling it the Al Capone Building. 230 So. Dearborn St., site of 
the IRS -- top IRS officials there, named as corrupt in a 1989 
Congressional report, were not removed but promoted. The building 
is also the headquarters of the Treasury's stormtroopers, the 
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Fire-Arms, booze bandits, 
cigarette stamp thieves, and gun-grabbers.
