Senators To Seek Shift Os Franchise WASHINGTON fUPI) — The Washington Senators, looking to beat the Cleveland Indians to the punch, will petition the Afnerican League to move to Minneapolis either before or during the World Series, United Press International learned today. Two Senator officials who were opposed to the move resigned suddenly Friday to ease the way for the franchise shift. The two men who quit were club secretary and attorney John E. Powell and club treasurer Chris Jacobsen. Jacobsen told UPI he stepped down because he “would never vote for moving the club" and he wanted to give club president Cal Griffith and the rest, of his family “a free rein to do whatever they think is right.” Powell was understood to share the same views as Jacobsen, who added. “I didn't want to stand in' the Griffiths’ way and I knew they wanted to go.” Minneapolis is ready, willing and eager for a major league -club, —preferably the—Cleveland. Indians, who served blunt notice -earlier this week that they will move their franchise in 1959 unless their sagging attendance shows a substantial increase. The only discouraging note as far as a posible move to Minneapoli is concerned came from Tommy Thomas, general manager of t he Minneapolis Millers, who said the American Association would be doomed if a major league club moved in. Tho m a s said any move to Minneapolis by either the Senators or Indians would force two American Association teams — Minneapolis and St. Paul — to move or disband. “I don’t know where they would move if they wanted to,” he declared. “The American Association will be ruined if these two clubs are out of it.'” Mayor P. Kennedy Peterson of Minneapolis, on the other hand, practically put out the welcome mat for the Senators. “It’s no secret we’d like to have themhe said. "I'm friendly to the idea. You can say that I'm more than friendly.” Murry Dickson Is Traded To Yankees KANSAS CITY. Mo. LUPI) — From washup to World Series in less than 12 months is the apparent accomplishment of the American League’s oldest active hurler. Murry Dickson. Kansas City officials announced the veteran righthander’s sale to the New York Yankees Friday. Less than a year ago, Dickson had been regarded as “through" when he was handed an unconditional release by the St. Louis Cardinals. The frail - appearing 42-year-old learned of the transaction in Washington and said he was “flattered that the Yankees have shown some interest in me. I’ll give them my best and I’m looking forward to a chance at a fourth World Series.” Traded for undisclosed cash and a player to be delivered before the start of next year, the knuckleballing Dickson replaced ailing Tom Sturdivant on the Yankee roster. Sturdivant is on crutches with a spike wound suffered on his left foot earier in the week.

Terry Tosses One-Hitter To Beat Senators By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International Close, but no cigar. That’s how it was for both Ralph Terry of the Athletids and Sad. Sam Jones of the Cardinals. Terry pitched a one - hitter and barely missed a perfect game in beating the Senators, 1-0, Friday night, while Jones came within six outs of a no - hitter and then had to settle for a three - hit, 9-1 victory over the Phillies. The “villain” who spoiled Terry’s bid was his pitching rival Russ Kemmerer. Kemmerer connected for a clean single in the third inning and was the only Washington runner to reach base as Terry did not walk a man and faced only 28 batters en route to his eighth win. z ' Jones Ties Record Kansas City scored the only run of the game in the third on Bob Cerv’s triple and Harry Simpson’s double. Jones, the free - wheeling, toothpick - chewing firebailer, tied the major league record of 14 strikeouts in a night game as he held the Phils hitless until Rip Repulski led off the eighth inning with his 11th home run. Jones was bidding for the second no-hitter of his major league career, having pitched his first against the Pirates, May 12, 1955, while still a member of the Cubs. Gene Green hit a three - run homer for the Cards and Gene Freese belted one with the bases empty to help Jones record his 11th triumph. Stan Musial had doubles to set a National League record for 2.167 total bases. The Yankees, back on the right track again, ran their American League lead to 12% games with an 8-5 decision over the White Sox; The Red Sox defeated the Indians, 4 - 3. and the Orioles topped the Tigers, 2-1. Bucs, Reds Win Pittsburgh crushed Chicago, 8-2. and Cincinnati beat San Francisco 7-3. The Braves and Dodgers were idle. Mickey Mantle clouted his 36th homer —in the —Yankees ’ victory while Elston Howard and Gil McDougald also homered. S h er tri Lollar’s homer in the sixth helped the White Sox to a 4-3 lead but the Yanks clinched the win for reliever Duke Maas with, a fourrun rally in the seventh. Early Wynn was the loser. Frank Malzone slammed his 12th homer for the Red Sox in the fourth inning off loser Hoyt Wilhelm and ’then drove in the deciding run with an eighth-inning single. The Redlegs won their game from the Giants with a five - run rally in the eighth inning. San Francisco led 3-2 until the eighth when Jerry Lynch tripled and George Crowe singled to tie the score. Frank Robinson doubled and Ed Bailey followed with another double that drove in the tiebreaking runs. MAJOR -1 American League W L Pct.

Hoosier Marine Is Held For Slaying Honolulu Police Report Confession HONILULU (UPD—Police held a Hoosier Marine today who confessed the slaying of a middleage widow after a night of drinking in a Waikiki bar. Mrs. William G. Geer, Muncie, Ind., was on the verge of a breakdown after she received the news of the arrest and confession of her son, Pvt. James Hedges, 21. Hedges was arrested at a naval ammunition depot near Pearl Harbor. He was identified as the man who accompanied Mrs. Helen Peoples, 55, early Thursday when she last was seen alive. Her body was found by a refuse collector. She had been beaten and strangled and her play suit had been partially ripped from her body. Police said Hedges confessed the slaying but claimed he was "hazy as to the details because I had been drinking.” Police said Hedges admitted picking up the tinted-haired widow at a Waikiki bar which catered to servicemen. He said he and Mrs. People left the bar after several rounds of drinks. He said he lost his head when she said some things to him and he hit her with his fists on a deserted street. “I became frightened when she fell and I dragged her into an alley by the throat,” Hedges told police. “After that I remember nothing." Police said they traced Hedges through a check he cashed at the bar while buying drinks for Mrs. Peoples. Hedges was described in Muncie as a tall boy of about six-feet-three-inches and “good looking." He dropped out of school in his senior year at Muncie Central and joined in Marines in 1955. He had not been home in two years. Lutheran Graduate Exercises Sunday In graduation exercises Sunday. three area girls will graduate from the Lutheran hospital school of nursing in Fort Wayne.

DEMOCRATS (Continued from Page one) Hartke said his opponent, Governor Handley, would lose because voters felt he had "more obligation” to serve out his term as governor instead of trying for Washington. .Hartke said Handley couldn’t shake off his responsibilities for the irregularities under Craig, because he should have known what was going on. Handley was lieutenant governor then. Charles Handley “Failure” The nominee for secretary of State, John R. Walsh of Anderson, joined the attack on Handley calling his a man who staked his career on his ability to “buy friends and influence delegates.” •Walsh, a former congressman, said Handley was a “disappointled furniture salesman” who was a “failure” in three terms in the State Senate. He said Handley had nothing but “his polka-dot tie. his warm, warm smile, and his commercially developed handshake.” Hartke announced a full-fledged harmony program with: State Sen. Matthew E. Welsh, Vincennes, chief speaker to open the Hartke campaign in the Pocket City Labor Day. State Sen. Marshall Kizer, Plymouth, to head a “Hoosier factteam” to answer GOP arguments. Marshall Hanley, Muncie, to head the Citizens for Hartke Club being organized. Bartel Zandstra, Highland, agreeing to speak for Hartke along with Floyd County Circuit Judge Paul Teagart, New Albany, who will be a member of Hartke’s speakers committee.

Louisiana Negro Seeks House Seal Integration Leader In Primary Today NEW ORLEANS <UPH — New Orleans voters today decide whether they will send a Negro integration leader to Congress. Alexander Tureaud, an attorney who has led the legal fight to integrate Louisiana schools, is pitted against veteran Rep. F. Edward Hebert in the highlight of Louisiana’s Democratic primary election. Registered Democrats take to the polls to- select eight Democratic nominees for Congress and a host of city and state officials. But the focal point of an otherwise listless summer campaign was New Orleans, where Tureaud has made the strongest challenge by a Louisiana Negro for a national office since reconstruction days. Tureaud, a 59-year-old newcomer as a political candidate, but an “old pro” in precinct organization, has the solid support of 17.000 Negro Democrats in the Ist Congressional District. Hebert, a popyjar ex-newspaper-man seeking his tenth term in Congress where he is chairman of a House Armed Services subcommittee, admits he is "running scared.'' A switch in the voting day from Tuesday to Saturday when many Orleanians leave the city heat for Gulf Coast resorts, and lack of labor’s support figure to cost the congressman votes. Tureaud dismisses the current Little Rock integration troubles as a factor in his campaign for election, but political observers note that it might have shaken prosegregationist voters from any apathetic tendencies. But even if he is nominated, Tureaud would probably face another harsh test against a Republican opponent in the November elections. Normally, however. Democratic nomination in Louisiana is tantamount to election. Train Kills Woman Walking On Tracks INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Mrs. Olive K. West. 78, was killed Friday when a Baltimore & Ohio Railroad freight train crushed her as she walked down the middle of the tracks near her home.
