Attacks Choice Os So-Called 'Experts' VNDIALVAiPOLIS (INS) —The Indiana sportswriters and broadcasters association placed the official Attucks high school basketball title ehanches. The never-right but never-say-die "experts” voted overwhilmingly in favor of Attucks for the title- today as it battles New Albany and (it the winner of the Gary Roosevelt-Fort Wayne North contest. Horseshoe League To Meet Next Friday All persons interested in the Adams county horsehoe league are invited to attend an organization meeting at the Monroe town hall next Friday night at 8 o’clock James Johnson, secretarytreasurer of the organization said that all team captains and others interested in organizing new teams especially were invited to the meeting. No Closed Season In Indiana On Panfish , INDIANAPOLIS (INS) —The Indiana conservation department has ruled that there will be no closed season on panfish in Indiana this year. Os the 45 fishermen attending the public meeting Friday, 37 favored an open season. And director Harley Hook said only a few of the 6,000 persons who voted by mail favored a closed season.

Lady Eden, who has often visited Ten Downing, recently made a detailed inspection of the prime minister’s official residence. HATOYAMA IS (Continued from Page One) opposing Socialist and Liberal parties joined to grab the key posts of speaker and vice-speaker in the lower house of the diet. This was taken by observers as an indication that Hatoyama may have trouble pushing through his own ideas on legislation. ROCKY ROAD (Continued from Page One) in the report was the possibility of disruption of a charter conference by the Soviet Union and its satellites. Such a development, the document said, might touch off a drive to oust the entire Red bloc from the UN and Tnight even lead to the withdrawal of other nations and the break-up of the world body. Russia is opposed to the calling of such an assembly on the ground that its specific purpose would be to alter the veto power. The U. S. and some other western nations favor eliminating the veto on the questions of admitting new member states into the UN, and peaceful settlement of disputes. Any such moves for amending the charter would run up against a stone wall of Soviet resistance. The unanimous consent of the veto powers in the security council—the U. S„ Russia, Britain, France and Nationalist China — and approval by two-thirds of the general assembly would be required to effect any revisions.

Indiana Prep Champ To Be Named Today INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — Today is the day of destiny for one of four teams remaining from the field of 752 which started the chase for the Indiana high school basketball title one month ago. To date 748 games have been played.* 64 sectional champions crowned. 16 regional champions similarly honored, and last Saturday, these four came through at Elkhart, Bloomington, Lafayette and Indianapolis. One thing certain before the first whistle is heard is that today s final three games will produce a first-time champion because none of the four has ever won a championship. New Albany athd Crispus Attucks start the ball bouncing in the first afternoon game and will be followed on the hardwood by Gary Roosevelt and Fort Wayne North. The winners will meet tonight for the championship. Veteran final-foursome in this year’s elite is New Albany, which has reached three previous fourteam finals but never has gone beyond the afternoon game. This year’s SIAC champions have the offensive leadership to carry them into the title fray. The Bulldogs boast an 86.4 point per game production. They do not boast about letting 54.3 points per game score against them. But the Buldogs don’t plan to lose out in the afternoon round as they have three other times and particularly the last time in 1952 to eventual champion Muncie. Attucks. which eliminated title favored Muncie in the semi-finals last Saturday, plans to bring Indianapolis its first state title and capture the first crown for an allNegro school. Attucks was the first all-Negro school to get to the finals and then only in 1951 when it was dumped by Evansville Reitz in the afternoon. This year the 28-1 Tigers of Indianapolis (favored for the title after their victory over Muncie) are joined by another all-Negro school, Gary Roosevelt. For Roosevelt, which won six national Negro high school basketball titles, 1933-38 before joining the IHSAA in 1938, this is the first time it ever got beyond its sectional and it won its first firstround title last year. Fort Wayne North (darkhorse of the tourney) wants to keep the geography straight in the Summit City. Both Fort Wayne South and Fort Wayne Central have won titles. North’s closest approach was back in 1933 when it got to the four team final only to lose to Martinsville, the eventdal champion. With Lakers Friday By International News Service The eastern and western division semi-finals of the National Basket'ball Association championship will be determined in playoffs today and tonight at New York and St. Paul. The Boston Celtics and New York Knickerbockers meet for the deciding game of their best-of-three series for the right to meet regular season champion Syracuse in a best-of-five set. ■Rochester, which came from be’’’nd to defeat visiting Minneapolis Friday night, 94 to 92, takes on the Lakers in their "clincher” for the privilege of meeting champion Fort Wayne. The finalists in both divisions meet in a best-of-seven series for the NBA title. Chicago — U. S. railroads pay out 3611,600 in wages every hour of the day and night.

Editor's Killer On Most Wanted List Final Article On Most Wanted List (Editor’s note: This is the final article in a series on the dangerous criminals now listed by the FBI as the nation’s “Ten Most Wanted” fugitives. Described today are escaped murderer Patrick Eugene McDermott and forger-drug addict Garland William Daniels.) WASHINGTON (INS) —A hired killer who was convicted of one of the most shocking crimes in American history and a sullen, suicidal forger rank as Nos. 9 and 10 on the FBI list of "Ten Most Wanted" fugitives. - Patrick Eugene McDermott Nearly 30 years ago, McDermott was sentenced to life imprisonment for the cold-blooded murder," on July 16. 1926, of Don R. Mellett. crime-hating, crusading editor of the Canton, Ohio, Daily News. ’--McDermott was a gunman in the pay of underworld bosses who decreed Mjelleht’s execution because he had exposed in his newspaper the sinister operation of Canton vice rings. Caged in tne onio state penitentiary at Columbus. McDermott plotted escape, year after year, until with 27 yeai? as h prisoner behind him, he fled to freedom last Nov. 28. A gun had been smuggled to him. Outside the prison walls, he hailed a taxi, robbed and kidnaped the driver, and forced his victim to speed him away from the penal institution. 'McDermott boasted to the taxi driver that he had “connections” in Chicago. But law enforcement officials have found no trace,,of him there-or elsewhere. This fugitive is rated as an unusually intelligent criminal. In prison, he acquired an extraordinary knowledge of chemistry, bacteriology and hematology- He also became an “expert” in the preparation of horoscopes. 'McDermott, a restless type who braids and unbraids small pieces of rope or burns bits of paper with a cigarette, is now 56 years old. He was born Sept. 13, 1898, at Dunlo, Pa. He is five feet four and one-half | inches tali, weighs 172 pounds, is

stockily built, has brown, graying hair, brown eyes, and a medium complexion. The tip of his left finger has been emputated and he has a one-inch oblique scar over the left eyebrow. McDermott usually wears glasses with tortoise-shell fromes and has complete plates of upper and lower false teeth. He has an odd drinking habit-taking his whisky straight with two or three aspirin tablets in each drink. Garland William Daniela Garland is a narcotics addict with suicidal tendences who, under more than a dozen aliases, has passed hundreds of fraudulent checks from coast to coast. He has been sought since Nov. 4, 1951, when he escaped from the U. S. public health service hospital at Lexington, Ky-, where he was taken after his arrest at Daytona Beach, Fla., for auto theft. At that time, Daniels admitted that he had been taking massive injections of morphine sulfate for. 20 months. The? fugitive was identified last December as the man who, posing as a television film salesman and using the name “Rudy Snyder," passed a bogus check at Miles City, Mont. Other aliases he has used include these: R. B. Abbott, Floyd Babcock, J. J. Bowman, C. C. Brun, Bob Golman, William C. Corbin, William Darrow, George Denrow, George W. Dillon. Luther F. Godwin. W. C. Mercer, Robert Thomas Peabody, Jimmy Vernon. Besides the bad-check racket, one of Daniels’ favorite gimmicks is to rent. a drive-it-yourself car, re-register it: and sell it. His phoney check activities center on first-rate establishmens, where his “sharp” appearance stands him in good stead. He is a neat dresser with a preference for sports clothing. Daniels, a native of Henderson, N. €., is 50. He is five feet, eight inches taH, weighs 175 to 190 pounds, had a medium, muscular build, brown, graying hair receding at the temples,, gray-blue eyes, and a ruddy complexion. He has a deep dimple In his chin, sometimes wears glasses, and has on occasion affected a small mustache. He has tattoos -a heart pierced by a dagger and the initials “G. W. D.” on his left forearm and a sailor’s head on the right forearm. Daniels has worked as a salesman~seaman, jclerk, baken and accountant- He has a criminal record in Maryland, the District of Columbia, Connecticut, California, Florida, and Kansas.

San Francisco And LaSalle In Finals Os NCAA KANSAS CITY, Mo. (INS)--East meets west in the "battle of the giants" as the 1955 basketball season reaches its climax tonight when defending champion LaSalle duels the University of San Francisco for the national collegiate basketball championship at Kansas City. One of the nation's outstanding individual battles is expected to be provided by a pair of talented All-American eenters Tom Cola of LaSalle and “Big” Bill Russell of the San Francisco Dons. Russell, a 6-foot-10-inch hawking center, helped to smash Colorado’s Big Seven champions, 62 to 50, in semi-finals Friday night, while the sharpshooting Gola pulled his teammates through to a 76 to 73 verdict over the lowa Big Ten champion. Gola and his Philadelphia teammates had a tough time before finally subduing the Hawkeyes in the final minute of play. It was Gola, however, who provided the spark which ignited the LaSalle attack with precision-like efficiency in the late stages of the first half. During the first 12 minutes of the first half. Gola was anything but the All-American center he was supposed to be. Up to that time, he had scored only six points. But, he tossed a long one-hander through the netting and connected ! on a pair of free throws while team--1 mate Charley Singley hit on a lay--1 up attempt. e The Explorer center poured r through six more points before the half was over and LaSalle walked , off the floor with a 45 to 36 lead . at the intermission. j The Hawks were fired up in the second half and after 10 minutes, only .trailed by six points, 57 to 51. In the next five minutes, lowa closed the gap to two —64 to 62. j lowa kept it close with center Bill r Logan and forward Carl Cain con--5 necting with one-handers. t Charley Greenberg of the Ex plorers drove in for a layup with 1:07 remaining to give LaSalle a 3 74 to 70 lead and Singley clinched the contest with a pair of free 5 throws. t It was the 13th straight win for > LaSalle and its 26th win in 30 games this season. It also was 1 LaSalle's ninth straight victory in » tourney competition enabling the r.
