'Friendly Poker Game'
Ends Not So Friendly
SAN PEDRO, Calif., Dec. 17
OF) You never know what a
friendly little poker game may
lead to.
George Waters told police yes
terday that:
He won $1,600 from one Frank
Billings In an Impromptu poker
session. Billing's paid him with
a $2,400 check, for which Wa
ters forked over $400 In cash and
a $400 check. But Billings' check
bounced.
Waters went looking for Bill
ings, found him on a street and
asked what he was going to do
about the check. Said Billings:
"Why, there's nothing wrong
with that check. Lemme borrow
your car and I'll go to the bank
right now and get your money."
Reported Waters to police:
He'd now like to find hb $400,
the $400 check, his new automo
bileand Billings.
Dependable!

where his own party members
turned him down but It seems
that Pendergast politicians don't
learn from history," lerguson
said.
Boyle announced the pressure
campaign in Key West, Fla., af
ter conferences with Mr. Tru
man. He said the administration
wants party members in Con
gress to support the party plat
form with their votes.
Some southern Democrats did
n't subscribe to all sections of
that platform, particularly the
plank pledging enactment of civil
rights legislation.
These lawmakers form most
of the members of the democra
tic bloc who haven't gone along
with the President's domestic
program In the past. They are
the party members most likely to
oppose other controversial pro
posals of Mr. Truman, including
repeal of the Taft-Hartley act
and his plan for compulsory
health Insurance.
While Boyle was urging that
pressure be put on the balking
Democrats, Senator Murray ID
Mont) held out something of an
olive branch to them.
Murray told reporters he
doubts that Congress could pass
either Taft-Hartley repeal or
compulsory health insurance
measures at the coming session.
He urged that they be given
study, but not be pushed to a
showdown at this time.
Extension Of Draft
To Be Asked In '50
(Continued from Page One)
congressional leaders cited sev
eral points to support his re
quests. The draft Is needed, he said,
to back up President Truman's
declaration that the "United
Slates supports the powerful
forces for freedom, justice and
peace which are represented by
the United Nations and the free
nations of the world."
Johnson added that Acheson
fears the end of selective serv
ice might be regarded abroad
as Inconsistent with our policies
under the Atlantic pact and mili
tary assistance program.
Finally, he said, unsettled
world conditions which caused
passage of the 1948 peacetime
draft still prevail.
Johnson's request to the Sen
ate and House merely asked a
three-year extension of the draft
act as it stands now.
Seems To Be Concession
Since the present act Is con-
sideiably less than the adminis
tration originally asked, this ap
peared to be a concession to a
strong congressional feeling that
the need for the draft no longer
exists.
Originally the administration
wanted the right to draft men
for at least two years service In
the 18 through 25 age bracket.
Congress cut this down to 21
months, and gave 18 year olds
the chance to resign.
Senator Edwin C. Johnson (D.
Colo) and other draft critics said
inese moves Indicated to them
there was no need for the peace
time selective service and thai H
should be abandoned.
bven Chairman Tydings (D
Md) of the Senate armed serv
ices committee said it mav he
difficult to get Congress to ap-
l'ive an extension.
Johnson apparently anlicpated
opposition.
Although men are not actually
heing drafted now, he said, hav
ing the law on the hooks stimu
lates voluntary enlistments.

Salvation Army
Christmas Plans
Not Chest Deal
The Salvation Army's Christ
mas program la not a part of the
Community Chest campaign.
Capt. Claude Bowden today ex
plained that throughout the na
tion and other countries recog
nizing Christmas, the Salvation
Army carries out a Christmas
program of distributing food and
clothing to needy families. '
The extent to which Christmas
giving is made possible depends
upon local contributions toward
this specific cause, said Bowden.
He said that 600 letters have
been mailed out to residents of
the area, and the Salvation Army
ketlle Is out on the city streets.
However, he emphasized that
this is not a drive to collect any
specific amount. He said the pur
pose is to raise only the funds
that may be contributed volun
tarily. No pressure will be exert
ed from any source, and persons
receiving letters who do not wish
to contribute are advised to dis
regard the letter, he said.
By no means should the con
tribution be considered a chest
donation, he stated.
He differentiated by stating
that the Salvation Army's budEet
share from the chest goes for the
year round administration and
operation of the local program.
The Christmas program is for
a specific purpose. Grocery or
ders and in many cases elothine
and some toys are purchased for
neeay lamines. Also a Christmas
party Is sponsored. An estimated
150 children are expected for the
party scheduled next 'Wednesday
at 7:30 p.m. at the Army head
quarters, 1005 Winchester street.
Candy, fruit and nuts will be dis
tributed to give the children an
enjoyable Christmas, said Bow
den. A limited number of toys

Girl Refuses
Pledge, Killed
NEW YORK, Dec. 17 (JPt At
midnight, a bullet struck down
26-year-old Carmen Seda, be
cause she refused to pledge her
love to the man who police say
killed her.
The man, handsome, 21-year-old
Israel Justiniano, was quot
ed by detectives last night as
saying he had given the pretty
Carmen 20 minutes to make up
her mind, while he sat beside her
with a gun in his hand.
It was either promise herself
to him, or die, according to po
ice. They said Justiniano gave
this account:
As the minutes ticked awav,
Carmen knelt before him in his
urnished room Monday night in
the Bronx, and begged:
"Please let me go."
The clock said 20 minutes until
12.
"You have until midnight to
come to a decision as to whether
you're going to stay with me or
not," Justiniano told her. "If not,
I'm going to kill you."
Carmen shook her head. She
kissed his sleeve, and began to
cry. Then she prayed. At mid
night, he shot her through the
head.
Police said the girl who worked
with Justiniano at a downtown
warehouse.had told her mother
several months ago that the
handsome Puerto Rican had been
annoying her. She had agreed to
see him to "talk things over."
When police arrested Justinia
no last night after seeking him
since Tuesday they asked him
about a lipstick smear on his
shirt sleeve.
"That?" he said. "That was
Carmen's kiss."

Chinook fishing also be made the
