King Os Cincinnati Racketeers Slain , Clark Is Slain In Pistol Duel Monday CINCINNATI (INS) —The king of the Cincinnati numbers racket was slain by a former “bug'’ man in a pistol duel Monday nigfit and police feared that a long Expected racket war was on. Melvin Clark. 40, was shot and killed by Frank "Screw” Andrews. 34. who pleaded self defense. The gunbattle took place In an alleyway between two Newport, Ky., hotspots, just acrpss the Ohio River, known as Sportsman's Club and Club Alibi — an area well known to the victim. Three years ago dark came out on the better end of a gun duel in the Club Alibi with Oliver 'IBull” Payne, manager of the club. Clark claimed self defense and was acquitted. Monday night, •'Screw” Andrews said, he stepped out the rear door of the Sportsman’s Club, which he manages, and saw Clark standing a few doors away at the rear ot the Alibi. Clark, he said, opened fire on him. "Screw” dashed for hi# car, got out his own gun. and emptied it at Clark. Four of the bullets connected. One of Clark’s shots at "Screw” nicked the wall behind him. The gang slaying baffled local police, who believed that “Screw” was permanently out of the numbers racket. In fact, they understood. he had gotten out of tt three years before Clark took over, so that there was no known rivarly. But lately, Clark was suppsed to have found a "big money guy” to back his numbers game and had been paying 700-1 for winners compared with the usual 600-1 paid by the opposing numbers game. And recently. Clark’s opposition, has been hard hit by consistent winners. Consequently, police had been fearing a renewal ot gang warand said the killing may be the beginning of it. Clark, the victim, was known as a real “toughie” in the Greater Cincinnati underworld and a quick man with the gun. His car was bombed recently, but he escaped injury. Campbell county, Ky., authorities released “Screw” Andrews on SIO,OOO bond.

Informants said that Bulganin was conciliatory in his answers. He explained that he did not seek to set any definite date for abandonments of “blocs," including NATO. He said he simply envisaged the eventual replacement of regional security organizations in Europe by a general organization — when distrust between East and West had been dipersed. Faure is proposing that to accelerate the work of the conference the delegates agree to drop consecutive translation of statements and rely simply on simultaneous translations. Both systems are being used now, with consecutive translation into two other languages following simultanedfcs translation of state-. meats. v? iit-gio Bar tex . skip the question of divided Ger-, manyj which involves Western plans for,, “free elections." It has preferred priority for its proposals for an all European security arrangement to include both the West German Federal Republic and the communist ruled East German regime. International News Service learned that Soviet foreign minister V. M. Molotov proposed that the agenda also should include the following points: 1. Cold war problems such as war propaganda. 2.

No Special Stamp For Santa Claus INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — The office ot Gov. George ff. Craig has been informed that the United States postal department won't play favoritism with Santa Claus. It turned down a centennial stamp request for the town of Santa Claus, Ind., with the nota- . tion that it has “never looked with favor upon stamps which would commemorate only a part of the whole subject.” Hearings Planned On Social Security House Passes Bill Expanding Benefits WASHINGTON (INS) — The senate finance committee decided today to start hearings Friday on the house-passed bill expanding social security benefits for women and disabled persons. However, it is considered unlike- , ly that the committee can get a bill to the senate floor for action r at this session of congress. Chairman Harry F. Byrd (D ! Va.), indicated that the question of how far the senate can proceed with the measure will depend on ' the length of the session. He said his group will act with, speed on all legislation 'before it. The committee decided also to ask for jurisdiction over the tax features of the house highway construction bill. It has several other matters before it. The house approved the social security bill Monday by a vote of 372 to 31. Many Democratic leaders feel, however, it would be far wiser politically to wait until 1956 to change the law. Passage of the Democratic sponsored measure then would still be fresh in the minds of the voters in the presidential and congressional elections.
