Basketball Bribery Scandal
Draws Confessions From
Five Bradley U. Hoopsters
PEORIA, 111., (AP) The ugly spreading story of
college basketball bribery today fixed its shady glare on an
All-America player at Bradley university who went shop
ping for games to "fix"' last season.
Gene (Squeaky) Melchiorre,
giduuaieu King-pin oi cradiey s na
tionajly renowned teams the past
two seasons, flax accused by the
New York district attorney's office
of visiting New York last Novem
ber to tell gambling henchmen he
had three other Bradley players
lined up to manipulate scoring at
$4,500 a game.
The fact that the fix was on in
only one game last season, after
a be-smirched 1949-50 campaign in
which at least nine Bradley games
were gambler-touched, did not les
sen the disgusting aspects of Mel
chiorre's "business deal" last sea
son. Melchiorre during the season
talked with gamblers over some
10 to 12 Bradley games.
Vincent A. G. O'Connor, as
sistant New York district ltor
n e y, disclosed that there was
boldly-made contact between Mel
chiorre and Nick (the Greek) Eng
lisis and Jack West, a pair of gam
blers, throughout the 1949-50 and
1950-51 seasons.

For consumers, OPS had a n
nouncement of a "slight" increase
in the general price level of all

The new regulation covering the
billion-dollar canned vegetable in

The order permits packers to
base their prices on 1948 costs of
materials, cans, labor, labels and
supplies, plus "specified cost in -creoases
since that year.
OPS announced that higher
prices will be allowed on canned
prunes because of "substantial"
crop losses in Washington, Oregon
and Idaho. Canners and freezers
will be permitted to allow up to $67
a ton on the cost of prunes in cal
culating their ceiling prices, OPS
said.

Inderworld Trio Accused
Of Contempt In Defying
Crime Investigation
NEW YORK P) Frank Cos

world, was free on S5.000 bail to
day after pleading innocent 1 a)
charges of contempt of the United
States Senate.
Imprisoned Gamblers Joe Adonis
and Frank Erickson, also indicted
Monday by a federal grand jury
for allegedly defying senate crime
probers, will be arraigned today
or tomorrow.
After the jury handed up the in
dictments, Costello gave himself
up before Federal Judge John F.
Y llpflnhau
Fingerprinted in the U. .j
Marshall office, Costello, wh ad
mitted he served several months
in prison in 1917 for illegally carry
ing a gun, asked, "what have they
got against me now?"
The indictments against the trio
of underworld characters resulted
from their refusal to answer ques
tions put to them by the senate
crime committee during its tele
vised Jiearings here last March.
Costello was named 4n a nine
count indictment, Adonis in 16 and
Erickson in 74. The top penalty on
each count is one year in jail and
a SI. 000 fine. 0
The 60-year-old Costello Sflent 40
minutes in a cell before bond was
arranged and he was released in
custody of his attorney, George
Wolf.
Costello, the 49-year-old Adonis
and the 54-year-old Erickson all
balked at answering numerous
questions asked by the crime com
mittee members, bach maintained
silence on certain queries on the
grounds that they might tend to
incriminate themselves.

Adonis now is serving two to
three years in a New Jersey prison
on gambling charges.
Erickson, who admitted heading
a $12,500.(K)0-a-year bookie ring, is
serving a two-year gambling sen
tence on Kickers island peniten
tiary here.
The senate committee called
1 Costello the kingpin of a nation
wide crime syndicate. Costello de
nied this, although admitting he
has keen a gambler and bootleg
ger. Linked with powerful political
figures in New. York City, Costello
contends he couldn't even fix a

Adonis, known for years as an
associate of Costello and Erickson,
also has been mentioned in con

The Douglas county court has
awarded a contract for construc

crossing the South Umpqua to the
Todd Construction company of
Roseburg. which submitted a bid
of S46.949.20.
The projected span, about five
miles northeast of Canyonville on

The Todd company bid had been

Field Refuses
To Give Solons
Answer On Bail
WASHINGTON (P Freder
ick Vanderbilt Field, millionaire
"angel" of left-wing causes, re
fused today to tell a senate com
mittee whether he posted bonds
for Communist leaders.
Field was brought before the
senators from New Y'ork, where
be is serving a 90-day jail term for
contempt of court. That sentence
was given him for refusing to tell
a federal judge who contributed
to the Civil Rights congress bail
fund.
The fund posted 80.000 bond for
four Communists who skipped after
losing an appeal to the supreme
court from convictions with seven
others of plotting to teach the over
throw of the government by vio
lence. Hearings by the senators are
directed at determining whether
there have been subversive influ
ences on U. S. Far Eastern policy.
The senate group is inquiring
into alfairs ot the institute ot t a
cific relations. Field is a former
official of that organization.
With Field was Victor RabinowU
of New York, his lawyer.
Justice Reed of the supreme
court refused to order release on
bail of Field and two other fund
trustees, mystery writer Dashiell
Ilammett and W. Alphaeus Hunton.
Solon May Name
State, Dept. Group
In Loyalty Probe
WASHINGTON (JP) Senator
McCarthy (R-Wis) says it appears
to him he has no choice but to name
in the Senate 29 persons he con
tends are under investigation for
loyalty within the State depart
ment.
Commenting on the department's
brusque rejection of his demand
for assurance that the 29 persorrs
do not have access to state secrets,
McCarthy told a reporter:
"I am inclined to think I have
no choice but to name them un
less the State department com
pletely reverses its stand. The situ
atinn is too dangerous not to do
so.
Assailing the sMiator's threats to
I'tiame the 29 as a "political strat
agem, the department said that
some of the persons on McCarthy's
list are not even in the department,
some have been cleared, and all
employes are barred from secret
papers if the department tinds tnat
"such access might constitute a
danger to the security of the United
Stales."
McCarthy on Monday had writ
ten Secretary of State Acheson he
would name the 29 persons he said
face loyalty checks unlets he re
ceived assurance they did not have
access to secret papers.
He has named only two of them:
Ambassador hilip Jessup and

gencies.
In the eyes of Massachusetts pol
iticians, MacArthur has thrown
himself into the 19S2 presidential
fight either as a candidate or a
campaigner.
Both Republican and Democratic
leaders see the 71-year-old gVneral
as fin from 'facfi$t away" after
he opened a two-day tour of the
Bay state with a bristling attack
on administration policies foreign
and domestic.
And MacArthur himself white
claiming "neither partisan fili
ation nor political purpose"
served defiant notice he intends
"to raise my voice s loud and as
often as I believe it to he in
the interest of the American peo
ple." Whether the general hopes to run
himself in 1952 or merely lake
the stump as a champion for his
policies drew divided opinions in
this histories countryside.
MacArthur chose a bi-partisan
Massachusetts legislature a Re
publican Senate and a Democratic
llouse to lash out with one of
the bitterest attacks on American
policy since President Truman
fired him from his Far Eastern
commands. ,
Grim-faced and even more de
termined than when he addressed
Congress, the old soldier charged
that United States has "no plan"
ether for Korea or St. home.
Delivers Sarcastic Thrust
While skirling around the cur
rent cease-fire negotiations under
way in Kaesong, he declared:
"Now that the fighting has tem
porary abated the outstanding im
pression which emerges from the
scene is the utter uselessness of
the enormous sacrifices in life and
limb which has resulted."
MacArthur contended the result
of the war in Korea has been "in
decisive" and o charged Russian
propaganda "completely domin
ates American foreign policy."
The general said one of the rea
sons for his ouster was for offer
ing "to meet the enemy comman
der at any time to discuss accep
table terms of a .pease-fire ar
rangement."
"Yet," he added, with a tone of
sarcasm, "for this proposal, I was
relieved of my command by the
same authorities who since have
received so enthusiastically the
identical proposal when made by
the Soviet government."
But MacArthur struck out even
more vigorously and drew some
of his loudest applause in de
nouncing policies on theo home
front.
With emphasis, he criticised ris
ing taxes, inflation and what lie
called a threat to the "system of
free enterprise."
'At Vital Crossroad'
Shaking his head for emphasis,
f.iacArthurQold Massachusetls leg
islators and a radio-TV audience
"we stand today at a critical (So
men! of history at a vital cross
road." And he concluded his 4.1-minule
speech with the assertion the peo
ple must choose the "course our
nation shall) follow."
"In one direction," he said, "is
the paw of Courageous patriots
seeking in hirfnilily buO'he op
portunity to serve, their country:
the other than of those selfishly
seeking to entrench autocratic
power.
"The one ground stands for im

Rainmakers
Hired For Burn
In Tillamook
PORTLAND (,Pi Rainmak
ers have been hired for six weres
to try to relieve what loggers ami
mill operators called a "desperate
situation" in the tinder dry Tilla
mook burn, some 40 miles west of
here.
Hugh Wicks, general manager
of the Dye Logging company, said
nine or ten of the area's principal
operators had hired the North
American weather consultants of
Pasadena, Calif., lo attempt to
kcepOthe area moi enough for
logging until the rainy season.
Two fires have struck the burn
already this year, the last just
brought under control. These and
dry weather have prevented 'og
ging in the woods for 3.1 days since
April 1.
"Our situation is desperate,"
Wicks said, "the mills haven't ac
cumulated any inventory for win
ter and the men haven't had nor-
mal earnings."
James Ednuindson and Ron Bol
lay, two employes of the rainmnk
ing firm, have been in the area
since Saturday, but clouds have
r.nt lifn the proper tvpe to seed
with silver iodide crystals to Iry
to bring moisture.
Edmundson said it would cost
less than $10,000 lo seed the clouds
for the six-week period.
The timber loss alone in the
Tillamook burn since the first great
fire in lf.tt is estimated by the
stale forestry department at more
than $21,000,000. No estimate has
been made of the luss in this
year's fires, but one operator
placed his felled timber and equip
ment destroyed at $100,000.
Most logging crews helping to

Negotiators Still Apart
On Major Issues, However,
Including Exodus Of Troops
U. NT. ADVANCE HEADQUARTERS, Korea (AP)
Allied and Red delegates agreed today on the exact limits
of Korean armistice negotiations.
United Nations spokesmen said negotiators approved
a five-point program and immediately disposed of the
first item. A Communist spokesman heralded this as a
"progressive move toward an armistice."
Rut the U. N. announcement cautioned: (1) delegates
are far apart on themaining four point.'fT) (2) nobody
knows how long it wT?l take for them to agree, and (3)
snooting will continue until an armistice is signed.
Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway's headquarters announced
the five-point agenda (list of subjyts to be debated)
covers :
1. Adoption of agenda. (They did that in tha first nine
minutes of Thursday's session.)
2. Deculing where to dra)the truce line and estab
lishing a buffer zone between opposing armies.
3. ConcrOe arrangements to end the shooting and su
pervise the truce.
9. Arrangements for exchange of prisoners,
o. "Recommendation to the overnmentsfW the coun
tries concerned on both sides." (The 'Communist demand
for withdrawal of foreiiOi troops from Korea comes under
this heading.)
Negotiators agreed on the
agenda in the shortest session they
have yet held. It lasted only 58
minutes. They will go into it lajire
deeply in the 11th session sched
uled for tomorrow.
The announcement emphasized
that agreement on the agenda "is
merely the . initial step for the
final gosl of a military armistice
and resultant cease-fire."
The second and third points
listed on the agenda offered the
biggest hurdles that negotiators
wiil have to overcome.
The first poinfc adoption of the
agcfida, is a routine matter sim
ilar to approval of minutes of a
preceding session.
Setting a buffer zone raises (he
question of whether it is lo be
along the present battle lines in
North Korea, as the U. N. wishes,
or along the 38th parallel as the
Beds want.
These two possible demarcation
lines are 20 or 30 milcs0 apart in
some places.
In settling this single point, ne
gotiators will outline the exact po
sition to be assumed by each army
"so as to establish a demilitarized
zone as the basic condition for
cessation of hostilities in Korea."
Suparviton Big Obstacle
The third point is the most com
plex and reaches to the heart of
Communist sensitiveness to any
foreign groups acting as supervis
ing agents in territory they control.
Officially point three was listed
as:
"Concrete arrangements for the
realization of cease-fire and ar
mistice in Korea, including the
composition, authority and func
tions of a supervising organiza
tion for carrying out the terms of
a cease-fire and armistice."
The United Nations wants ade
quate supervision and actual in
spection by some international
commission on each side of the
cease-fire zone.
Allied spokesmen have identified
this as an absolute must to guar
antee against possible prepara
tions for a surprise jiltnck or a
buildup for new advantages if sub
sequent truce negotiations break
down.
The Allies have indicated they
want both air and ground super
vision, communists nave always

"There is much to indicate that
the resolute Resistance of U. N.
troops has gin pause to those
aggressive forces which cold
bloodly brought tragedy t o Ko
rea." These views were contained in
a letter which the President sub
mitted to Congress on United States
participation in the U. N, during
19r.o.
Secretary of Stale Acheson said
that regardless of the course of
the Korean armistice negotiations
the danger of Communist aggres
sion is "no less real than it was
a month ago."
"There may be a period p com
parative - quiet ic mere is an ar
mislice in Korea," he told sen
ators. "If so, we must not our
selves be pulled off balance by
a shift in tactics.
"If the armistice talks should
collapse, we should be ready for
a major Communist assault on the
United Nations forces. The enemy
has been building up his forces
throughout this period."
Acheson was urging approval of
the administration's $8,500,000,000
foreign aid program at the outset
of hearings by the senate foreign
rotations committee.
