Ever drive a Volkswagen? Try One Yourself - Just Come lo Morse Motors! This Week! MORSE MOTORS Southern Oregon Volkswagen Headquarters SIXTH AND IVY - MEDFORD i e PDffiT Ladewig, Bunetta Lead Way Into All San Bernardino, Calif, Mrs. Marion Ladewig, a 47 year - old grandmother from Grand Rapids, Mich., goes aft er her eight title in 12 years and Bill Bunetta, Chicago, 111., tries for his first title as finals Pittsburgh Club Picks Sharman By RUDY CERNKOVIC United Press International Pittsburgh -(UPD- Showman John H. Harris, elated because Boston Celtic star Bill Shar man has agreed to coach a Pittsburgh entry in the NBA, hoped today fans will be as patient with his team as they were with the Pittsburgh Pi rates. "The Pirates won their first world championship in 35 years," said Harris. "I hope it doesn't take us that long to produce an NBA winner but the baseball fans waited. I hope our basketball fans are that patient." Sharman, former University of Southern California star now sparking the Celtics, was not expected to continue as a player when he takes over the Pittsburgh team. Concentrate on Coaching - "We want Bill to concen trate on coaching," said Har ris. "Now that we have a coach, we'll get our players in April and we're ready to go next season." Harris said Walter Brown, owner of the Celtics, agreed to release Sharman. "Los Angeles had tried to get Sharman but Brow.n wouldn't let him go," Harris said. "We are fortunate to get a man of Sharman's 'stature for Pittsburgh." Harris, who pioneered in the production of ice shows, is president of "Icecapades." Brown is vice president of the show. Harris embarked on his sec ond venture into professional basketball with optimism. He fielded the Pittsburgh Iron- men in the old American Bas ketball league during the 1946-47 season. "We played 30 games and we didn't do too well," said Harris. Harris, who also owns an inactive franchise in the American Hockey league, said he was ready to draft players from the current eight teams in the NBA in April. Selec tions will be made after the 1960-61 season. "Each team will have a list of four 'draft-cligibles' and we can choose one from each team," Harris said. "Chicago gets first choice because it had made applica tion for a franchise ahead of us. Both of us should be able to get the nucleus of a good ball club from the draft." Robertson In Hall of Fame Los Angeles-OJPIJ-Six play ers headed by Oscar Robertson and six coaches have been chosen as 1961 selections by the H e lm s. Athletic founda tion to its basketball Hall of Fame.

The coaches named to the Hall of Fame were Harold Anderson, Toledo and Bowl ing Green, still active in coaching; John W. Bunn, Stan ford, Springifeld and Colo rado State who is still active; Louis Cook, Oklahoma, 1939 1955; Pete Newell, San Fran cisco U., Michigan State and California; and Alex Sever ance, Villanova, 1937-1960.

Federal Investigators Seek Answers To Baffling Iowa Bank Embezzlement Case Editor's note! A tiny farm town in northwestern Iowa is the seme of one of the larcest and at the same time one of th most baffling bank embezzlement rases In the annals of the U. S. Department of Justice. The cunfessed perpetrator Is the 58-year-old wife of a well-to-do man; and daughter of the bank president. How and why did she do it? The following dispatch treats un these questions and describes the Impact of one of the greatest em- oezziement cases Of an tune on a town of only 4, .51 persons. By DAVE SMOTHERS, FRED MOHN and BOB HOIG UPI Special Reports Team Sheldon, Iowa - IUPII - Fed eral investigators moved into the Sheldon National Bank to day, trying to find answers to two baffling questions: How bank president's daughter covered a fabulous $2 million embezzlement and how she spent the stolen money. There was no hint of what Mrs. Burnice Iverson Geiger, 58, did with the cash she ad mitted taking from the finan cial institution headed by her father. But most residents of this Dutch Iowa community, stun ned by the revelation of the gigantic theft, doubted that Mrs. Geiger was a "Robin Hood" who took the money to finance charities. She's Not Telling Mrs. Geiger, the kindly well-liked daughter of b a n k President W. P. Iverson, ap parently wasn't telling what became of the $2,126,859.10 she admitted taking over a period of years in possibly the nation s largest bank em bezzlement. Federal authorities, includ ing three officials of the Fed eral Deposit Insurance Corp., were not talking. E. L. Cox Jr., FDIC super visor of liquidation, said other FDIC fieldmen from the mid west would join him in the next few days. The FDIC officials were ex pected to audit the books to determine the exact amount the federal agency would be obligated to pay off to de positors. Bank officials estimated de posits totaled $3 million at the time the embezzlement became known. The deposits were insured up to $10,000 per depositor. Payments to depositors were expected within a few days. Resident! Bewildered The admitted theft of Mrs Geiger, a woman respected for her sympathetic heart, had residents shaking their heads in bewilderment. As her minister, The Rev. Thomas Lutman, 63-year-old pastor of the First Congrega tional church, said in puzzled anguish: 'What has happened has happened to one of the kind Invitational Track Meet Date Scheduled Portland - (UPD - A date al ready has been set for the sec ond annual Oregon invita tional track meet.

Logging Truck Is Involved in Mishap A loeeing truck driver suffered slight injuries yester day when the truck left the Jacksonville highway at Ruch and struck an oak tree ac cording to state police. The driver, David Don Legg, 37, of 502 South Peach St., Medford, suffered cuts and bruises about the head ana face, state police reported. The truck was travelling west on Highway 238, the driver told state police. When the truck rounded a curve, the right wheel went off onto the shoulder, and the driver lost control. Officers said the truck travelled 270 feet along the shoulder and into the Sunny side grocery parking lot, then crashed into a large oak tree in the lot, knocking it down. The truck was extensively damaged, police said. CLOSE CALL Austin, Tex. - IUPII - Reed Granbury, parliamentarian of the Texas House, had a bad moment Tuesday at Gov.

If the preliminary figures prove correct, the looting of the Sheldon National Bank would top any case in the na tion's history where a bank failed because of embezzle ment, though there was one savings and loan case in Nor folk, Va., involving more mon ey. Turni Down Bond Mrs. Geiger could go free on $10,000 bond but she does n't want to. Perhaps she is ashamed; or afraid to return to this thriving Dutch farming community of 4.251 persons where she had been a first lady of the town.
