ence that General Grain, Inc., headed by Samuel R. Harrell, who once was a candidate for the Republican nomination for governor of Indiana, will build the elevator. Harrell said grain could be shipped out of Indiana at one-third the cost of rail freight, and this would mean better prices for Hoosier farmers who grow the grain. Handley said the elevator would help convince Army Engineers that an Indiana harbor is economically feasible. Only two days ago, the governor announced that National Steel Co. will build a 100 million dollar steel njill in the same area in what he said was the greatest economic development in Indiana in 35 years. Handley said he will return to Pittsburgh tonight to negotiate with officials of National and Bethlehem Steel Co. for the state to buy more land for the harbor. The steel companies own land in the proposed harbor area. Michigan City Is Blanketed By Snow MICHIGAN CITY.

Dig In Roots Os Chicago's Underworld WASHINGTON (UPD — The Senate Rackets Committee dug into the roots of the Chicago underworld today to take a look at juke box racketeering in the city where it may have been conceived. Some classic examples of gangsterism were expected to come to light in this phase of the juke box investigation which will last about four days. Chief Counsel Robert F. Kennedy said the inquiry would center on some of the top figures in the storied Chicago underworld. He said these would include iSam (Mooney) Giancanna. reputed to be the latest successor to the gangdom throne of Al Capone. Kennedy said witnesses would relate threats by mobsters to outfit juke box operators with “cement boots” and drop them in the river. — He said the testimony also, would touch cn often-heard rumors that underworld figures have helped the careers of their favorite singers with enforced sales of their records. Kennedy said the Chicago style of juke box racketeering involved even more violence than that exposed during the New York hearings, which closed Wednesday. He said it also included the now-familiar triangle or collusion among mobsters, union officials and leaders of juke box trade associations. The lead-off witnesses will be a group of operators,, including Don Maloney, Max Brier, Robert E. Lindeloff. Nicholas Galetano and Bernard Poss. Kennedv said they would tell about efforts of Chicago gangsters to take over juke box operations in outlying areas.

Zoo Keepers Strike Ends At St. Louis ST. LOUIS, Mo. (UPI) — A three-day strike by 50 zoo keepers ended Wednesday night when officials gave in and granted organizational rights to employes. A > zoocup. some called it. On one side were St. Louis Zoo Director George P. Vierheller and the zoological board, besieged by opposing forces from the Institutional and Public Employes Union Local 410, who demanded organizational rights. Union spokesman Joseph L. Ames said battle lines had been drawn at “arms length.” Caught in the crossfire were the animal kingdom's subjects, its lions , and llamas, elephants and ells. "Vierheller and 10 supervisory staff members worked day and night, without rest, to feed the 1,600 animals. Monkeys’ Morale Suffering “The monkeys’ morale is suffering,” trainer William Rogers said shortly before the walkout ended. “They know something’s wrong and it’s not good for them.” The picketing keepers were not disinterested. “Hibernation or no hibernation, I miss my bears,” trainer Howard W. Hoffman said Wednesday. “If I find my elephants aren’t being taken care of, I’ll be back (there,” assistant trainer Joe Stevens said.' Bitter cold weather Wednesday kept all but the hardier animals inside their pehs. A few blackbuck antelopes, braving the chill, stood as tough whispering in a corner, glancing at the few visitors between comments. Moby Dick Profits On the street, pifkets appeared Wednesday morning and strolled back and forth. Inside, the goatlike mouflens paced their barelytended, sawdust floored cages, eyeing newcomers suspiciously. Powerless to do anything one way or another, the traditionally outspoken lions and tigers were silent. . ; As might have been expected,

Jury Deliberating Dave Beck's Guilt By MAB.TINHEERWALD United Press International TACOMA, Wash. (UPD—A federal court jury of eight men and four women resume deliberations today to attempt to decide if former Teamster Union President Dave Beck is innocent or guilty of income tax evasion. The jury deliberated for about five hours Wednesday and retired for the night at 10:40 p. m. p.s.t. (1:40 a.m. e.s.t.) without reaching a decision. Beck, 63, is charged with evading more than $240,000 in income tax payments for the years 1950 through 1953. < A’ If convicted, he could be sentenced te as much as five, years in prison and fined as much as SIO,OOO on each of the six counts against him. To help in reaching its decision, the jury can consider the testimony of more than 100 government witnesses, one defense witness, about 1,100 exhibits and the final instructions of U. S. District Judge George H. Boldt. Boldt told the jury that if it found the funds Beck received from the union were not loans, as claimed by the government, those funds must be considered as able income. If the funds in question were loans, as /the defense claimed, they were not taxable, Boldt instructed the jury. He stressed the jurors must find Beck wilfully intended to evade income taxes in order to convict him. Over 2.500 Daily Dofnocrats art sold and delivered in Decatur each day.
