Hit On Head
With Pistol
Los Angeles, Jan. 14 U.R)
Former major league pitching
star Tommy Bridges was ques
tioned this afternoon by officers
in connection with his being hit
over the head with a pistol when
lie interceded in an argument be
tween a Portland, Ore., truck
driver and his estranged wife.
The truck driver, Verle Pen
ney, 41, was charged with assault
with intent to commit murder.
The violence occurred early to
day in a Hollywood drugstore
where Penney's estranged wife,
lone, 39, was a waitress.
Death Plot Charged
Officers said Penney planned
to kill Mrs. Penney, then take
his own life if she refused to
come back home with him.
Penney claimed the trouble
started when Bridges, former
Detroit pitcher who hurled for
Portland last year, tried to pre
( vent him from talking to Mrs.
Penney. After an argument, Mrs.
Penney said: "Why don't you
fight it out like men and I'll go
home with you if you can whip
Bridges."
But Pennev said Bridges
wouldn't go any place where
they could fight. .
"I had a gun in my hand so
I hit him over the head," Penney
said.
Television Fight
Turns Into Real Thing
Los Angeles, Jan. 14 (U.R)
A fight viewed on a television
screen became a real fight in
the parlor and ended up today
with the jailing of Donald
Mulche, 19, on suspicion of as
sault with a deadly weapon.
In the hospital, the victim of
a stab wound, was Donald Stout,
19. a high school student.
Mulche told officers he was
watching the fight performance
of Rocky Slater last night at the
home of Elizabeth Farris, Slat
er's girl friend. Besides Miss
Farris, and Mulche, several oth
er youths were present.
When Slater lost the decision,
Mulche said, Miss Farris became
so upset she requested Mulche
to clear the others from the
house.
The action angered Stout and
his friends, Mulche declared, and
when Mulche left, he said the
youths were wailing outside for
him.
"They began roughing me up,
declared Mulche, "so I went over
to my car and got something to
fight with. When Stout went
down, everybody else disap
peared." Alexander Hamilton was the
lawyer for the defense in the
first American case for freedom
of the press.
The office of the Treasurer of
the United States averages 1,500
employees.

Beverly Hills Church
Damaged By Blaze
Beverly Hills, Cal., Jan. 14
(U.R) A one-year-old church was
partially destroyed today when
a three-hour fire which broke
out in the recreation room gutted
its interior and roof.
The Rev. Guy L. Hudson, pas
tor of the Beverly Hills Lutheran
church, said the building had
been the object of 17 years' sav
ing and preparation by his con
gregation. Seven companies battled the
raging flames, which caused an
estimated $50,000 damages, for
three hours after the fire was
first reported at 3 a.m. today.
The church staged a square
dance for young people in the
recreation room last night.
Today, the art works of Ben

them for their valuable metal.

Schmidt In Plea
The seven Virginia, Virginia
Military, Virginia Tech, Mary

and The Citadel beat expulsion
by a vote of 111 to 93, a two
thirds majority being needed to
oust them. Those favoring expul
sion thus fell 25 votes short de
spite a plea by Pacific Coast
Conference Commissioner Victoi
Schmidt that "we wear the red
badge of courage instead of the
white feather of despair."
Yet despite the failure to ex
pel, Dr. Karl E. Leib of Iowa
the NCAA president, said tha
"the decision will not material
weaken our principles."
Leib insisted that leniency was
indicated because all seven had
admitted that they were violot
ing the "sanity code" limilini
aid to athletes and most of then
were attempting to comply. Vil
ianova, Boston college and Mary
land announced that they had
fulfilled requirements and the
others defended their stands.
May Revise Code
The general opinion among the
delegates was that this "pardon"
would not open the way for a
new wave of college subsidiza
tion but that the sunlly code
would have to undergo some sort
of revision because now it is too
general to govern all situations.
