Ousted Marshal To Meet With Attorney Former Companion Os Knetzer Ousted SPRINGFIELD. 111. UP—Robert Grant, ousted U.S. marshal and fo'rmer companion of Robert L. Knetzer on the slippery auto tycooh’s fund raising trips, today conferred iwith U.S. attorney Howard L. Doyle. ; Grant came here from his Pekin. 11l. ,\ home Friday after he got word that he had been fired on orders from President Truman. A Grant said he planned to meet With '• Doyle 'but otherwise refused to discuss his dismissal. Although some federal officials here speculated the firing stemmed from Grant’s trips with Knetzer, who escaped from the Springfield jail two weeks ago in the company of a phoney \U.S. marshal, there was no confirmation from Washington. Attorney general James P. McGranery said in Washington thht the U.S. marshal was apparently involved in “something, that to say the least, would be irregular.” He indicated Grant was involved with “a gentleman charged with mail fraud.” Knetzer’s escaped, his second, set off a nationwide search but no trace has tbeen found of the newused car dealer who ran up a $3,6'00,000 debt in the post-war auto market. e The escape was pulled off when h man, V(ho falsely identified himself as a> U.S. marshal came to the jail and took Knetzer away. Grant accompanied Knetzer on several “vacations” from jail which were arranged so the auto dealer could attempt to raise enough money to pay creditors and escape a contempt conviction. Federal Judge Charles G. Briggle said he was “fust guessing," /but he thought the dismissal of -Grant was due to some phase of the Knetzer case.

UP — The mysterious “Mr. X.” accused of providing the false tip that Owen Lattimore planned a trip behind the Iron Curtain, will be arraigned Monday on a charge of wilful falsification of facts. Harry A. Jarvinen, 32-year-old naturalized Finnish immigrant, was indicted by a federal grand jury Friday and released on SSOO bail. The FBI said that Jarvinen was the man who informed the state department of Lattimore's supposed trip. The information resulted in the department’s issuing a ban against the Johns Hopkins University professor’s right to\travel abroad. Jarvinen's attorney, Gerald Shucklin, said his client, an employee of a Seattle travel bureau, “doesn’t even know Lattimore" and would plead “not guilty.” “He did make some statement at a social gathering when he was a bit tipsy and a central intelligence agent was there,” Shucklin said. Whether that "statement” was the one concerning Lattimore was not revealed by the attorney. Shucklin said his client had made statements before to the CIA, but he did not disclose the nature of the remarks. Trade In a Good Town — Decatur 1948 Chevrolet Tudor A Nice Car, Radio and Heater.

He will sign a contract this afternoon calling for about |35.000 a year and extending through the 1953 season. O’Neill, fired and replaced by Lou Boudreau as Red Sox manager at the end of last season, faces a tremendous challenge in his new post: the rebuilding of a term .Which heemed only two years ap UK have been built ihto a leagiepower for years to come, but which tUrned out to be the National League's most' disappoint! ig team this season.
