N. J- K, The National League pacesetters disclosed they bad tcbeduled seven 1956 '‘home’’ games in Jersey City's Roosevelt Stadium, which ac- ■ comodates 4,000 automobiles to 700 for Ebbets, and that they would vacate their old park otter the ’57 Season far a new home in Brooklyn, Long island or New Jersey. Wagner said he is “actively interested in keeping the Dodger franchise in town If possible.” Brooklyn borough president John ’ Cashmere is rlady to propose an appropriation of |60,000 for a sur- * vey of the problems involved in moving the tea'm into a new ball park. While city fathers struggled to ’ keep the Dodgers at home and ' New Jersey prepared to dust off welcome signs, the borough of ’ Queens threw its hat into the ring. Borough president James Lundy issued a statement which read in part: “The problem of obtaining a new location within the city that will afford eohveniebt, rapid transit facilities and adequate parking provisions, can very readily be solved by moving the team to the borough of Queens.” Lundy cited several locations, including the old New York World’s Fair site. Dodger President Walter O'Malley is proposed that the cost of a new Brooklyn stadium be financed by the ball club itself rather than “have baseball tied up with politics in any way.” Palmer Is Leading In Canadian Open TORONTO (IN§) — Arnold Palmer, a 25-year-old career golfer but a pro for only eight months, held a two-stroke lead today going into the third round of the Canadian open golf championship.

Many Driving Aller Licenses Suspended Indiana Bureau Has New Filing System INDIANAPOLIS (INS) —The Indiana bureau of motor vehicles estimated today that 25.000 Hoosiers are still driving after their licenses have been suspended. The bureau, however, has a new system, based on a cross index file, which tells police immediately if the driver is operating with a suspended driver’s license. Policemen have been instructed to fill out information cards whenever a driver is stopped for a violation and cannot show a license. These cars are sent to the bureau where they checked against bureau records giving the pSrson’if record 6f tfiffic offenses, suspension lists and registration files. Thus repeat offenders and drivers with suspended licenses are disclosed at once and the information is turned over to officials the s day after the arrest. To conlbat the ease with which drivers obtain licenses in other states, Morris J. Carter, state commissioner of motor vehicles, said he will negotiate with Tennessee and Kentucky Officials for exchange information on suspended drivers. Utley, 32-year-old Indianapolis foundry worker, who allegedly admitted he went to Tennessee to obtain a new driver's license after his Indiana permit was suspended last year, has been ordered to appear in municipal court today. New Delhi — India's .population is gaining at a rate of about five million per year.
