Cole denied today -that he killed San Francisco Police Sgt. Joseph E. Lacey during a tavern holdup , two and one half years ago. Cole, 32, who was one of the FBI's "10 most wanted" criminals until he was cap tured Monday night, said he left California while on a drinking spree and "was afraid to go back because I had violated my parole by leaving the state." Cole said he knew nothing more about Lacey's fatal shooting in a San Francisco bay tavern, Dec. 30, 1956, than what he had read in crime magazines. Accused of Shooting ' ' Thomas Hamrick, who is serving a life sentence in San Quentin prison for his part in the slaying, accused Cole of firing the two bullets that killed Lacey. Cole admitted he knew Hamrick and saw him at Hamrick's apartment the night of the slaying when he returned Hamrick's pistol to him. "But I wasn't with him any more that night," Cole said. i Cole was taken before U.S. Commissioner James Bennett Tuesday and jailed under $50, 000 bond pending extradition proceedings. ? - Announcing the Appointment of RALPH BELL INSURANCE AGENCY 1133 S.

The only warning to be found in the brokers' predic tions is to buy only on a care ful, selective basis. Martin Gilbert, analyst for Van Alstyne, Noel Co., says there is no reason to believe the upside strength is likely to weaken and predicts even higher levels over the inter mediate and longer term. He says any pause for profit-taking will be only temporary. In view of the recent sharp advance, adds Bache. Co., it would not be surprising if a slower pace developed in the near future. It also believes that any profit-taking that might develop will be "of only minor consequence to the market in general."

By RICK DU BROW UPI Hollywood Writer Hollywood (DPD - The late George Bernard Shaw once remarked to British star Sir Cedric Hardwicke: "You're my fifth favorite actor." "All right," said Sir Cedric, "who are the first four?" "The Marx Brothers," re plied Shaw. Nearly everyone in every generation has a favorite en tertainment team. Few of the old-time partnerships remain, and few new ones, have been formed. But TV has come up with several partnerships that have caught the public's fancy. They have one thing in common: . They are, for . the most part, real people in real situations unlike .the old time teams that depended mostly on songs, dances and jokes. Jokeless But Funny There are, in some cases, jokeless but funny or human like Marshal Dillon and Ches ter, the Maverick Brothers or "The Thin Man" and his wife. In other cases such as Jack Webb and Ben Alexand er in "Dragnet" or Ward Bond and Bob Horton in "Wagon Train" they may .be just working partners." And in still other cases, they apply the successful An dy Hardy movie technique in such family shows as "Father Knows Best," "Leave It to Beaver" and "Ozzie and Har riet." Why . are the new - style teams becoming more and more prevalent? Partly be cause there aret only a few of the old-style teams left -taxes have made it more prof Olfl IfJJ itable for them to work as "singles." Holdouts on TV The holdouts on television include Lucy and Desi, who don't work. together nearly as much as they did in their salad days; Amos 'n Andy, who are not the originals of radio fame; and Peter Lind Hayes and Mary Healy. Elsewhere, there are the Three Stooges, dormant for years until their recent come back; Jimmy Durant and Ed die Jackson, who have worked apart as much as together in the last year; and Louis Prima and Keely Smith. But the main reason for the emergence of .the new breed is this: A comedian no mat ter how great is bound to run out of material faster than a writer who pens aver age things about average peo ple. The constant pressure for first - rate material helped break up one of TV's finest teams Sid Caesar and Imo gene Coca. f - . Split Furnished Lesson The tremendous work and strain that goes into getting topflight new material and then rehearsing it-also helped write an end to the superb three - way comedy of Jackie Gleason, Art Carney and Aud rey Meadows. But the split also furnished a lesson: The -part of their show that survived and was shown in half-hour segments for months . afterward was "The Honeymooners," their comical tribute to the average man and his problems. "We .played the parts for so long," said Carney, "that the characters are almost real to me. And I miss Jackie after seven years of working to gether. I feel we're almost a team for real - like Laurel and Hardy." The team that led the way for the family comedies was, SB mm . V i .. of course, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz - although they frankly stressed old-time rau cous humor more than the rather sedate series that fol lowed. Lucy still is amused that her hugely successful show came about mainly be cause she and Desi were not entirely happy about 'their family life. "We'd been trying to get together for . 10 years," she said, "but I'd always be mak ing a movie and Desi would always be playing ' a night club tour. Even when he was in town he'd be getting home just as I was leaving for the studio. "He always saw me at my most unglamorous self. What else ... at 6 a.m.? or worse, weTd meet on the road and then have to back up, park our separate cars, get out and chat a minute or two. t "Then he'd go home to bed and I'd go to work. At night, I'd shake his hand at the door as I came home and he went out. Solo Role Difficult Once a team - particular ly a family team - is estab lished in the public mind, it is difficult for one of its mem bers to go it alone. George Burns tried it last year when his wife, Gracie Allen, retired. His show went off the air this spring, so now George is on the night-club circuit. "People ask me why I keep working when I could retire and play golf and cards," he said. "You don't get any ap plause playing golf and cards. "I'm too old to retire. Peo ple work harder at retiring than they do at a job. It's murderous trying to kill eight hours a day." Right now, entertainment teams still are an important factor in TV. But unless the trend is reversed they'll fade off the home screens as they have from the movie screens and from what's left of vaudeville. Sierraville Fire Believed Controlled Sierraville, Calif.- (DPD -After six . gruelling days, offi cials today signified that Cal ifornia's worst forest fire of the season was under control. Bulldozed fire lines were holding in Tahoe National forest. "Unless the wind increases and carries sparks over the firebreaks, we have just about got it licked, said Su pervisor Henry Branagh. Officials estimated that the blaze has spread across 1,000 acres, destroying almost 40 million board feet of timber valued at $400,000. The 1,000 residents of Loy- alton were still on the alert Tuesday night against flying embers, but the town ap peared safe; New blazes 50 miles away near Portola and in El Dora do National forest were con trolled. An increase of 20 to 50 per cent in India's industrial pro duction is potentially possible through the uniform applica tion of advanced quality con trol methods.

Nearly a score of scientists were aboard three ships as signed to the three-week sur vey called "Expedition Fan fare." The experts will make seis mic soundings to determine the thickness of the earth's crust, take bottom cores, measure gravity, record depths and note weather.- Somewhere - perhaps off Guadalupe island, about 300 miles to the south-the scien tists hope to find a spot for drilling from sea level 30,000 feet into the earth's mantle.

In fact anvthinsr that li has the power to think, move, breathe, or react to, instinct, is likewise an animal. If the animal is warm blooded, and feeds its young with milk, it is a mammal. So a man, a mouse, a whale, or a porpoise are all mammals; and of couse they are all ani mals.

The crew of Braniff Flight 526 from San Antonio to Chicago tried for an hour and a half to lock the landing gear. Fi nally, Capt. W. W. Garbett touched down lightly at the Olathe Naval Air Station, locking the wheels in place. He made another approach and landed smoothly. The birth rate in Alaska is ten points higher than the U. S. average. animals with a backbone, such as the snakes, lizards, etc., are cold-blooded and are classed as reptiles, but, too, they, are also animals. Microbes Too The insects, although cqjd blooded, or almost no-blooded, are animals. Microbes, too, as are also myriads of tiny crea tures that form the so-called plankton of the sea. In this strata of life there are billions of individuals. Usually they are called micro-organisms, because of their small size, but they are animals just the same; animals without a semb lance of a back-bone, or a suggestion of blood: but they all move and eat and live. When we want to be par ticularly disparaging to some one we say, "he eats like an animal" or "he acts like an animal." This is supposed to give them a highly derogatory character, but in reality it only indicates a lack of scien tific knowledge on the part of the speaker.

The members of the dog family are about the only ones that habitually bolt their food, not because they do not know better, but because they are afraid some other dog, or something else will take it away from them. All things considered, say ing he, or she, eats like an animal would really indicate superior eating manners, -for wolfing one's food is not soley a characteristic of four footed animals; many of us do it real ly worse, and perhaps among the "speechless creatures" there may be an understand ing, or even a thought that an enemy, or another who is held in low esteem, may be considered to "eat, or act like a human."
