o O o O 'Harry, I don't think youre going to like this one any better' .81 O? Ae eve o Me Aome games, the Series fever had complete control (Note: This dispatch was writ ten from Los Angeles before the scries ended.) LOS ANGELES Towns have gone bugs over athletic events be fore, but we'll bet no town ever was as completely In the throes of World Series fever before as Los Angeles was the day the Dodgers beat the Yankees for the second time. Both teams immediately climbed on planes from New York to Los Angeles, to be greeted by several thousand fans at the big LA airport. Tickets were hard to get, unless you either had some pull with a friend who has been a regular Dod ger customer throughout the regular season, or unless you were willing to pay high prices to the scalpers. Regular Series seats cost $6 per game; box scats went for $12 per copy. For two persons, the tickets cost cither $36 or $72 for the expect ed three days of games In Los Angeles. And there's not much really exclusive about box seats in Dodger stadium half the seats there arc boxes. There was a crowd of several hundred waiting for over 24 hours at the stadium to pick up limit two to a customer some of the only 4,000 general admission seats which went on sale the day before the first Los Angeles game. It was a pretty good-natured crowd. The Dodger management rolled a teevee set out in front of the ticket booth so the early arrivals could watch the two games in New York. But once you got those tickets In your hands, you were an envied person in this town. Box seats which originally sold for $12 each are ac tively scalped at prices up to $60, each. Everyone who might be ex pected to have a ticket soon found he had more good friends than he ever before knew existed. Reporters have more offers than they can use from unlucky local residents who would like to carry a typewriter through the gates. The Dodgers won the first two games In this best-of-seven series. But knowledgeable baseball fans to day (Friday) arc not counting the Yankees completely out of the whole thing. Twice before in recent years the Yanks have lost the first two games, and then gone on to win the Series. The surprise in this affair, during the first two games, at least, is the Dodger batting power. Baseball observers always had felt the Dodgers deserved an edge In a short series because of their pitching. Sandy Koufax, now that he has conquered his early wildness, bids fair to become, barring injur ies, one of the game's great left handers, somewhat in the Carl Hub bell tradition. Johnny Podres is an otheptop southpaw, still nt the peak of his career. Don Drysdale is a top flight right-hander. Against them the Yankees really only had Whitey Ford, a "great" too, but only one man. The Dodger bullpen due to Ron Perranoski and Larry Sherry is more than a match for the Yankee relief strength. But the Yankees have the hit ters, or so everyone thought. The Bronx Bombers didn't get their name for nothing. Mantle, Maris, Howard, the still-dangerous Yogi Berra, Pepitone, etc., etc. Only Tom my Davis of the Dodgers belonged in that crowd, or so the pundits thought. And Davis got there only on his batting average, not on his power. So what happens? Willy Davis, a fine outfielder and extremely fast, suddenly starts hitting doubles. Tommy Davis bangs triples. Moose Skrowron, a former Yankee, knocks out home runs just as if lie still wore a Yankee uniform. Maury Wills manages to get on base, and drives a young Yankee pitcher and half the Yank infield Into a frenzy. The Dodgers, in the first two games, managed to score two home runs, two triples, and three doubles. Dur ing the regular season that was more than they hit in a four game scries. And the powerful Yanks have had trouble getting singles. Things may be different when the Series starts in Chavez Ravine. But you'll never persuade one of these stark mad Los Angelenos that the Dodgers aren't the greatest baseball aggregation ever put to gether, or that Walt Alston, nearly out of a job only a month ago, isn't the world's best manager. Nikita should share blame for wheat woes By Phil Newsom UPI Staff Wrlt.r In the Ukraine surveying the wreckage of what had been hoped would be a banner crop year, Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev delivered himself of another of his proverbs. "As long as the thunder does not crash," he said, "the peasant docs not cross himself." The remark was interpreted as a suggestion to Soviet planners that they might have done more to foresee this year's disaster which has turned the Soviet Union from a normally grain-exporting nation to one forced to scramble on to the world wheat market to meet its minimum needs. For this, aside from a bitterly cold winter and a long summer drought, the Soviet premier could give himself a large share of the credit, since the direction of So viet agriculture has been his own particular baby. Landi Project Fails His virgin lands project had not been a success and it ap peared he now was abandoning a previous belief that the Soviet Union's growing population needs could be met simply by expand ing acreage. Instead, the emphasis now would be on irrigation and a vast ly expanded output of fertilizer. Contributing also to the disaster were the weaknesses which an nually plague the Soviet agricul tural economy low incentives, inadequate transportation facili ties and a shortage of farm ma chinery. At any rate, as the premier said, the U.S.S.R. was in a '"dif ficult position." For Canada and Australia, one man's loss was another man's gain. From Canada alone, Soviet buy ers purchased nearly seven mil lion tons of wheat in a record $500 million deal which scraped the bottom of the bins of Can ada's exportable surplus. Interested In U.S. Wheat From Ottawa, where U. S. wheat dealers were meeting with a Soviet delegation, came re ports that the Soviets wanted still more and would buy up to 200 million bushels from the Unit ed States if the U.S. government would authorize it. Wheat has been on the U. S. list of goods embargoed against salo to Russia and such a sale re quired a major change in U.S. policy. There also was the virtual cer tainty that if the United States sold wheat to Russia some of it would find its way back to Cuba. But the temptation also was great. The U.S. government held more than a billion bushels of sir plus wheat and another billio.i was on the way. Crop damage suffered by the Soviet Union and by much of the remainder of Europe already had benefited U.S. farmers. Analysts already were predict ing record wheat shipments and total farm exports of another record close to $6 billion. By this week, it seemed the U.S. government had made up its mind. If they asked for it, the Soviets could have 200 mil lion bushels of wheat for $330 million cash on the barrel head. ANNOUNCES DISCOVERY DAR-ES-SAI.AAM, Tanganyika. UPI British anthropologist Dr. L.

Passage of 1.2 billion higher education legislation would be meaningful to state By Yvonne Franklin Bulletin Correspondent ' WASHINGTON - The $1.2 bil lion higher education construction bill which passed the House in August, is expected to be brought to the Senate for a vote within the next week, according to auth oritative sources. Passage of the bill would be meaningful to Ore gon colleges faced with financial cutbacks if the tax referendum fails. The priority given to Rep. Edith Green's bill was news to the staff of Sen. Wayne Morse's subcom mittee on education, who said they were going ahead with plans to prepare for floor debate on an other education bill. A spokesman said that when Senate action was completed on that bill, only, then would the committee file a report on the higher education bill. Last week, the full Senate La bor and Education Committee vot ed out several education bills, among them the higher education and vocational education bills. Morse at that time was quoted as saying it was a "miracle" that the committee took the action. His subcommittee had not act ed on Mrs. Green's bill, and the full committee took the unusual action of voting out the bill even though the sub - committee had failed to report the measure. Morse's committee staff denied rumors that he had been deliber ately withholding action on Rep. Green's bill. The differences in the House and Senate bills are less drastic than last year, when the bill foundered over Senate - approved scholarships and House approv ed grants to private as well as public colleges. The House bill calls for across-the-board grants. Last year, Morse's position had been that such grants to private colleges were unconstitutional. He did, however, support categorical grants when the Senate - House conferees compromised their dif ferences. Here is a break-down of the two bills. The House bill calls for spending $1.2 billion for three years for classroom construction ($230 million in matching grants and $120 million in loans) for un dergraduate colleges and about $50 million a year for junior col leges and technical institutes, us ing no more than one-third fed eral funds. Mrs. Green added a feature of especial benefit to Oregon call ing for $25 million the first year and $60 million the second and third for cooperative graduate re search centers, such as proposed in the Portland area. This is only in the House bill. The Senate bill calls for $1.5 billion ($900 million in categori cal grants and $600 million in loans) plus $50 million in grants for community colleges. Both pub lic and private colleges would be eligible, however, the grants would be limited to science build ings, libraries and engineering buildings. Both versions forbid money for divinity schools, classrooms for sectarian use or gymnasiums. The House construction money could be used for all classrooms, and laboratories. State Commissions would decide priorities among the schools. Republicans At Quie of Minne sota and Charles Goodell of New York, key men on Mrs. Green's education subcommittee, main tain that the House Republicans will not accept categorical grants. Republican votes are essential to carry an education bill, and the House has had good bipartisan support. Congressman Quie thought that the Senate position that across-the-board grants werp somehow unconstitutional but that categori cal grants were constitutional was "ridiculous." He pointed out that the Senate bill provides money for libraries in which a student could study subjects other than science, and "jfcU t 5 ' wiwj ",-.ia further, "to say that to study bot any or chemistry was constitu tional, but to study in the human ities was not is ridiculious." Goodell thought that categori cal grants was too arbitrary. He believes the time has passed when we faced a national crisis in science which led to the Na tional Defense Education Act, the space program (NASA), in creased funds for the National Science Foundation and the De fense Department programs. He thinks the Government should not be setting priorities for universities as they would in mak ing categorical grants, in deciding what classrooms would be built. Morse's slow-motion handling of the joint Senate - House confer ences last year led supporters of the higher education bill to be lieve he was deliberately delay ing action on Mrs. Green's bill this year until there was no chance of passage this fall be cause of the expected southern fil ibuster on the civil rights bill. Last year the House bill passed in January and the Senate bill shortly thereafter, and yet confer ences to iron out differences in the two bills were postponed all spring and summer, with Morse refusing to hold meetings because of "irreconcilable" differences. At the insistence of Sen. Joseph Clark of Pennsylvania and Mrs. Green, Morse finally agreed to another conference in September when Congress was hot. tired, ir rascible and anxious about elec tions. When the conferees came up with categorical grants and nonreimbursiblc loans to stu dents, the House refused to ac cept the bill. Republicans Quie and Goodell say the scholarship provision really killed the bill last year and Quie was pleased that the Senate bill did not include scholarships this year. He was optimistic that a compromise with the Senate could be reached "if" as he said the bill actually does get to the Senate. Washington Merry-go-round Valachi merely confirms earlier findings, lobbyists kill bills to halt U.S. crime By Drew Pearson WASHINGTON How can or ganized murder be committed right under the nose of federal and city authorities for years and go undetected? How can a crime syndicate roll up millions of dol lars without paying taxes? How can a crime syndicate exist at all in a country supposed to be the leader of the free world? These are questions a lot of peo ple have been asking ever since Joseph Valachi startled the Sen ate and the public with his grisly revelations of murder, graft, and crime. The questions are punctuated by the fact that the late Sen. Estes Kcfauver held almost ex actly the same kind of investiga tion twelve years ago, except that he was much more exhaustive. He relied not on one witness but on hundreds. Ho showed in 1951 not only that the Mafia dominated some of the big cities of the Uni ted States, but that the police and big political bosses were sub servient to them. Despite that probe, almost noth ing happened. The testimony of Valachi now shows that the un derworld continued just as strong as ever. At the close of his Investiga tion Kefauver introduced several bills to curb crime. Only one of them passed. This was to re quire gamblers to take out a $50 tedera license. The other Kcfauver bills were considered an infringement of states rights the same argu ment which southern senators make against civil rights today. Or they were killed because some of the big city bosses had too much Influence with friends in Congress. Their lobby was ac tive. The present chairman of the Un-American Activities Commit tee, Rep. Edwin Willis of Louisi ana, for instance, was seen at tending a stag party given by Frankie Costello's lobbyist in Washington, Murray Olf. Other congressmen also hobnobbed with Olf. Willis states that he did not know Olf had any connection w ith the underworld and was not in fluenced by him. However, Joe Adonis hid out in Olf's Congres sional Hotel apartment when Ke fauver was looking for him, and Meyer Lansky, the famous Las Vegas iwrtncr of Costcllo, parked his car at the hotel at Olf's ex pens. Olf was once the prison- The Bulletin Monday, October 7, 1963 An Independent Newspaper Robert W. Chandler, Editor Glenn Cushman, Gen. Manager Jack McDermett, Adv. Manager Phil F.

UK. mate of Jake (Greasy Thumb) Guzik, famous czar of Chicago's underworld. Today, one decade after the Ke fauver probe, the overlords of crime are right back where they used to be. The only difference is that the cast of characters has changed. Frankie Costcllo is 73 years old and broken by two stretches in a federal penitenti ary. Younger men have taken his place. Why Crime Continues There are probably three gen eral reasons why the underworld continues to flourish: Reason No. 1 is jurisdiction. The federal government cannot step into cities and states to make arrests except in certain types of crimes such as income tax eva sion, narcotics, violation of the Lindbergh Act for kidnaping, and violation of the Mann Act. This is why the infamous Al Capone, once lord of the Chicago gangland during the bootleg era, reigned unmolested by Chicago police until the federal govern- merit finally caught up with his income taxes. Today, in order to escape this risk, most gangsters overpay their taxes. Reason No. 2 is the fact that little pay-offs at the bottom roll up into big crimes at the top. Perhaps the most lucrative source of income for the over lords of the underworld is the numbers racket, slot machines, and other types of gambling. Rev enue from this rolls up into hun dreds of thousands of dollars a week when it gets to the top. Most people see nothing wrong with a slot machine in a club or tavern. But when a cop will take 530 a week to protect slot ma chines, lie will take $1,000 to fix a murder case. Once the pattern of a dishonest police force is set, there is no boundary line where it can bo stopped. Furthermore a whole series of murders has been committed in some cities to get the exclusive right to run the numbers racket or operate gambling. Immunity on lop Reason No. 3 is influence in high places. You can't expect the police to be vigilant or to re frain from taking payoffs when they see the top men in the com munity getting immunity. The police in New York, for in stance, know that Lucky Luciano was let out of Sing Sing on a quiet evening during the war and hustled off on a boat to Italy, with one man seeing him off Frank ie Costcllo. This was right in the middle of Tom Dewey's crime clean-up. The story was that Lu ciano was going to help work in side Italy to prepare for tlie land ing of US. troops, but nobody ever knew the real reason. In Philadelphia more recently, some of the top business leaders u involved in a Profumo case just as sexy as anything happen ing In England. A radio broad caster was made the goat and had to leave town. The top men got immunity. The police knew this. It didn't encourage them to root out crime in powerful places. In Kansas City during the Ke fauver probe, it developed that Charles Binaggio, head of the un derworld, carried the town for Harry Truman by resounding ma jorities. I am certain Truman had nothing to do with it; in fact, his administration later cracked down on Binaggio. But for a long time this leader of the Mafia was the real boss of Kansas City and the police knew it. The influence of the underworld is slow, sometimes almost imper ceptible. Frequently it gets start ed through heavy campaign con tributions to a candidate who needs money to get elected and doesn't think twice alwtit the ob ligations he must fulfill after he takes office. In Kansas City, for instance, it was Forrest Smith, an honest, well-meaning Democrat, who ac cepted the backing of the Binag gio gang when he ran for gover nor of Missouri. After the elec tion, Binaggio was admitted to the secret caucus of the Missouri legislature and Binaggio's friends were named to the Kansas City Police Board. Such are the backstage influ ences which have permitted or ganized murder to flourish in some parts of the ISA. Travel Talk 'Scram, boys' LaBelle France tells Americans By Lyle C. Wilson The GI's who hit the Normandy beaches and fought their way cross - country to help liberate Paris would have trouble now recognizing the petulant voice of LaBelle France. The word now is that France has little time for . the United States and, more specifically, feels no need for U.S. protection. The French don't want any di rection, cither from the Ameri cans. "Scram, boys," says LaBelle France to Uncle Sam, "beat it!" Or, anyway, that is what Presi dent Charles de Gaulle is saying in the series of speeches he is de livering now. Le Grand Charles spurned further U.S. protection in a speech delivered in the last week of September in Belley. Only this week De Gaulle's represen tative at the International Mone tary Conference in Washington, D.C., opposed policies designed to help the United States and other countries with balance of pay ments problems. Viet Nam Interference Recently, too, De Gaulle hap pily volunteered to interfere with U.S efiorts to hold the anti-Communist line in Viet Nam. De Gaulle, in short, is conducting himself as though he were a ma jority stockholder in Western civ ilization and not merely the pres ident of a weak sister who would have flunked both 20th century tests of nationhood but for the armed assistance of the British, their dominions and the United Slates. Tlie last time the French went it alone and triumphed was dur ing the Napoleonic wars. Even Napoleon's magic finally ran out of while rabbits. In 1870-71, the French tried to handle Prussia, a small kingdom that became the core of the German empire. Soon Paris was besieged and the de feated Parisians were eating rats. They had better luck in 1914-18 when British and Ameri can arms helped fend off the Germans. In HUH ll,rt TTcnnnU UIa politically, morally and militarily under pressure. They got their country back again courtesy of British and American young manhood and the Allied taxpay ers. Do Gaulle flails on cooperation within the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. His predecessors contributed mightily to the chaos in Southeast Asia thereby com pelling the United States now to engage in a nasty little jungle war. The French genius for messy colonial operations helped to charge North Africa with ex plosive instability. Considered a Nuisance Americans might be forgiven if they decided that France and De Gaulle are not good neighbors even at a trans-Atlantic distance of 3,000 miles. Given due allow ance for his clforts to rally French resistance during World War II, it is a fact that the Al lied high command, military and political, rated De Gaulle as pretty much a nuisance during the war and thereafter. He seems not much to have changed. Le Grand Charles' bold spurn ing of U.S. protection should be had in writing, if possible. And thcrealter. the United States should seek some system of col lective security in which De Gaulle and France would be left as once proposed to "stew in her own juices." Tlie trouble is that no such col lective security without France could be devised, French geogra phy and natural endowments be ing what they are. But if there is any isolation sentiment in the United States, De Gaulle will keep it alive and growing. ii a' VXt-'!i!SWSl3t ACROSS 1 While or Blue 4 Alleviates 5 Popular travel stream vehicle 5 Good Hope, (or fi Herbs instance 7 Keyptian god fi Com for 8 Fisherman Chevalier o Shielded 12 Notion 10 Trieste wine IS Poker slaVr measures 14 Periods ot time n Vmn'ioyed lab. 15 Pertaining to a barber 17 Manner's direction 13 Kroien rain 19 Bombarded 21 Lateral part 23 Rodent 14 Art lUtin) 27 Evict 29 Be prolific .12 Traveler's bag .14 Disinclined 38 Turkish hospice .17 Procenitor 18 Nickname 39 the seven seas 41 Deacon (ab.) 42 Number 44 Crawford's nickname 49 Appends 49 Course 53 Hariian earland 54 Pmrd 5 Kf.cs 57Cirdct S Has eitrd SBKvrn i poet.) 60 Official proceedings '1 Sumatran squirrel shrew POWS 1 L:rsr-?ces 2 Fayvsod 3 Cnaspirated 16 Indolent 20 Tardier 22 Songs for two 24 Keenly eager 25 Chibchan Indian !
