By HOWARD WHITMAN
TRANSFORMATION of ex-triggermen of Chicago's gangland into polite. bar-tenders who shake a neat cocktail was described in London recently by crackly- voiced Judge Robert Crowe, former Chicago Public Prosecutor.

"But the gangster's day is done now he is the vanishing American," Judge Crowe declared.
