Turns Up $30,180 In Hidden Money Man Convicted Os Income Tax Evasion BLOOMINGTON (UP) -Joseph T. Solomito, convicted earlier this week on income tax evasion charges, Friday took Bloomington newspaper reporters and aU. S. commissioner on a tour of his home during which he turned up 830,180 in hidden money. During his income tax evasion trial, Solomito contended he buried money he received as gifts in fruit jars in his basement and yard. The jury evidently disbelieved the 40-year-old former stone company executive and convicted him. He currently is awaiting sentence. Solomito took the group to his home where he showed them how he was in the habit of concealing money. He moved clothing aside in a closet to reveal a safe from which he withdraw more than 810,000 in currency. Solomito removed a section of wallboard from the closet and took another 810,000 from a small wall safe hidden there. In his backyard, Solomito broke through grass turf and dug up an object which he opened to reveal another 810,000 wrapped in a plastic sack. Solomito said he invited the group to witness the events, to show that witnesses at his trial were telling the truth when they said he was in the habit of hiding money. He said he wanted “this to be a warning to anybody else not to try to operate their businesses and their homes from a cashbox” because “nobody is going to believe you.” . Driver Is Arrested Following Accident Norbert Engle, 33, of Bryant, was arrested on a charge of driving to the left of the center of the highway following an accident Friday at 3:15 p. m. about eight and a .half miles east of Geneva on state highway 116.

* ■ Braves Take Fourth In Row Fromßedlegs By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer The Milwaukee Braves owned undisputed possession of first place in the National League today because they’re beating the Cincinnati Redlegs at their own game—the home run. The Braves swept to their seventh victory in eight games and their fourth straight over the Redlegs, 9-2, Friday night with a salvo of four homers that gave them a league-leading total of 13 for the season. Joe Adcock walloped two homers and drove in five runs and Johnny Logan and Del Crandall also homered lor the Braves. Warren Spahn scored his third straight win of the season and the Braves took over first place when the Pittsburgh Pirates knocked out 1955 World Series hero Johnny Podres and beat the Brooklyn Dodgers, 7-1. Rookie Don Cardwell of the Philadelphia Phillies shut out the New York Giants, 5-0, in the other N.L. game. - , Chisox Beat A’s In the American League, the Chicago White Sox solidified their hold on first place with a 4-3 victory over the Kansas City Athletics after the Boston Red Sox beat the New Yoflt Yankees, 6-2, in an afternoon game. In other night games, the Detroit Tigers downed the Cleveland Indians, 5-0, and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Washington Senators, 4-3. Bob Purkey scattered nine hits for his second win of the season as the Pirates kayoegl Podres in 5 1-3 iniyngs. Frank Thomas knocked in. three runs for the Pirates with a homer and a single while Duke Snider saved the Dodgers from a shutout with a homer in the eighth frame.

Two unearned runs in the third inning and Jimmy Piersail’s three-run homer off relief pitcher Tommy Byrne in the seventh provided the Red Sox with their big runs. Al Kaline knocked in four runs, three with his first homer of the season, as the Tigers downed the Indians.

Joe Ginsberg, subbing for the injured Gus Triandos, doubled home the tie-breaking run in the eighth inning to give the Orioles the decision over the Senators. Ray Moore won his second game for the Orioles and Camilo Pascual suffered his second loss for the Senators.

Today s Sport Parade (Reg. U.S. Pat. Off.) By OSCAR FRALEY United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK <UP) — Fearless Fraley’s facts and figures: The Harlem Globetrotters leave by air today on their eighth European tour, during which they will play 119 games In 24 countries, and the only site they don’t enjoy is the Palais des Sports in Paris. -— "The Germans used it as a concentration center during the war and held as many as 30,000 people there waiting to be sent to Germany,” says Abe Saperstein. "When you get down in those dark, gloomy dressing rooms there’s a ghost around every corner.” The whisper around the National League is that Andre Rodgers, currently hitting .259, is having his troubles against curve ball pitching. This figures after the greatest Giant buildup since the days of Clint Hartung, the Hondo Hurricane who became a mere zephyr. Needs More Seasoning The general sentiment is that Rodgers, only in his fourth year of organized baseball, should, have had another season of minor league seasoning. The spring raves really put him on the spot and the one-time wicketeer from the Bahamas probably would be the first one to admit ft just "wasn’t cricket.” An amateur hasn’t won the U.S. Open golf championship since Johnny Goodman turned the trick in 1933 and veteran Lloyd Mangrum doesn’t give the simon-pures much of a chance vfhen it is staged at Toledo’s Inverness golf course June 13-15. “HaftfisaWard is the only amateur who has the shots to win a tournament against the current crop of pros,” bluntly says the outspoken Mangrum. Quite A Stir This held true when the Open was held at Inverness in 1920, too. That time an 18-year-old amateur playing in his first Open created quite a stir by being among the contenders at the end of three rounds. Then he blew it with a closing 77. . Oh, yes, the youngsters name was Bobby Jones. If Lew Burdette of the Braves is throwing a spitball, as charged by Birdie Tebbetts of the Redlegs, it wouldn’t come as much of a surprise to the Yankees’ Casey Stengel* "I've seen at least two guys 1 thought were throwing spitters already this season,” Stengel asserts. "Understand, I can’t prove it. But somebody’d have to prove

to me that they weren’t." Great Expectorations! Threats Pays NILES. Mich. — (IP) — Judge Thomas W. Cain’s threat of jail , for drivers who failed to heed parking tickets paid off. Officers I said an estimated 85 delinquent motorists jammed the police station to pay fines.

Spike Briggs Resigns Post With Detroit DETROIT (UP) — The Briggs name, a part of Detroit Tiger baseball for early four decades, was removed front « the Tiger scene Friday when Walter O. (Spike) Briggs Jr. resigned as executive vice president, general manager and director. Only the stadium retains the designation of "Briggs.” "And I wonder how long it’ll be before they change that,” Briggs said. Briggs was embittered over his forced resignation which was brought on by published reports of his differences with the Tigers’ owners. Harvey R. Hansen, Detroit lumberman and president of the team, and John E. Fetzer, chairman of the board, «met with Briggs Friday after all three had denied Thursday Briggs* blast that the owners were trying to run the team "like a factory.” Spike was named president when his father Walter O. Briggs, died five years ago. He wanted to hold onto the club but in order to settle the estate the team was ordered sold. He tried to buy it himself and failed. A syndicate headed by Fred Knorr, a long - time friend of Briggs, and Fetzer bought the franchise for 95,500,000. Briggs was retained as a director, general manager and executive vice president. He never really had a chance to run the team on his own. . Knorr stepped down as the new owners* first president a week ago and Hansen was elected. It was said that Knorr’s business interests forced the move. But some said it was done to pave the way for the removaLof Briggs. Johnny McHale, who is with the Tigers in Cleveland trying to arrange a trade with the Indians, was seen as the logical choice for the general managership. McHale is a former Tiger first baseman and Notre Dame graduate, and spent most of his playing time in the minor leagues. He is 36. McHale recently was given permission to work trades on his own and it was then seen as a buildup to the general manager’s post. CONTROL (O—ticnec w Ptun Ot», Local 136, a Long Island labor billon. Before entering the hearing room, DeKoning told newsmen he had “nothing to hide” and would answer all questions. At the end of the hearing, DeKoning's counsel, James G. Blake, said McClellan and Committee Counsel Robert F. Kennedy had checked into the union president's financial affairs "as far back as 1940." Blake said DeKoning had been asked to submit to the committee by Monday his personal financial records dating from Jan. 1, 1950. The attorney said DeKoning would comply.
