NEW YORK, Oct. 2. — The New York police department disclosed today that it would refuse to re- new the licenses of approximately 650 night clubs and dance halls, but said such establishments would be permitted to operate without li- censes "on probation" while an ex- tensive examination was conducted. The new order, reported to have been instigated by Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia, was said to be part- icularly directed against the owner- ship of hot-spots by "racketeers and gamblers." Police said they would look closely into the backing of all such clubs land asserted that a number of them had "front men" who were not the real owners. Licenses of the' establishments had expired at midnight Saturday and the permits of about 450 more will expire in April. Officials said these would not be renewed either until full examination was made. Among the best-known clubs af- fected by the order was the Copa- cabana, which previously had ac- cepted a city claim that it was $37,- 371 in arrears on taxes and made a U.S. Army Signal Corps Photos, $10,000 first payment.
