I Valachi Telling Senate Sleuths Os Crime Ring 4 ■* WASHINGTON (UPI) — Stool pigeon Joseph Valachi emerged from the security of his prison hideout today and was reported to be “singing” freely to Senate investigators about operations of the sinister “Costa Nostra” gangland syndicate. The short, burley hoodlum, who has a SIOO,OOO price on his head, arrived at the Senate caucus room at 10:01 a.m. to give the Senate investigations subcommittee a preview of the testimony he will give publicly Friday. Sen. Edmund S. Muskie, DMame. a subcommittee member, I emerged from the private hearing later and told reporters that Valachi was “perfectly cooperative" in describing his former underworld connections. Valachi had been with the senators for about 30 minutes at that time. Muskie said Valachi spoke in a kind of “code” which required frequent interruptions to make sure what he meant. He said, for

example, that Valachi said “family” when he meant gang and used other gangland terms which arc unfamiliar to the senators.

In deference to the gangland offer for his death, Valach-i was flanked by U.S. marshals when he arrived.

The , special security precautions, rivaling those afforded a president, were taken to insure the safety of Valachi, who violated a blood oath to turn informer. Today’s brief excursion from seclusion was Valachi’s first since it became known that he had been “singing" to federal authorities in violation of the Mafia code which inflicts death on snydicate members who spill

family secrets. Subcommittee chairman John L. McClellan, D-Ark., who had a private hour-long meeting with Valachi Tuesday, said the former syndicate executioner and narcotics peddler could give the panel particulars of more than one unsolved murder.

Valachi was described by McClellan as a long-time “soldier” in Cosa Nostra’s legions and not a syndicate boss. He was serving a sentence for murder in the federal penitentiary at Atlanta when he killed a fellow prisoner he thought was a Cosa Nostra executioner out to get him. It was after the slaying that he decided to tell all to federal authorities.

DeGaulle (Continued from Page 1) drop hints that he will seek a second term as president of the French Fifth Republic. Because all of the projects under attack are particularly De Gaulle’s. The strongest hint of DeGaulle’s intentions thus far came tn his current tour of France’s Rhone Valley. He said that for a quarter of a century he had understood the wishes of the French people And: “I am determined to continue to do so since I have the strength.” De Gaulle’s present seven-year term ends at the close of 1965. On Nov. 22 of this year, he will be 73. For some time now the question of De Gaulle’s successor has been a favorite subject of speculation among French newspapers But recently the same newspapers which had been pulling out the names of various ‘‘crown princes” suddenly erupted with reports that De Gaulle might not quit after all. May Be Trial Balloons There is reason to believe the reports were planted by De Gaulle himself. De Gaulle’s nuclear program is still some eight to 10 years away horn making France an effective nuclear power. Among his possible political successors are many who gladly would welcome Britain into a united Europe, scrap De Gaulle’s own grand design and willingly sacrifice some French sovereignty in exchange for that unity. Before he steps down, De Gaulle wants to be sure that France irrevocably is bound to

the course he has outlined. One theory gaining ground is that De Gaulle may decide to quit dramatically next year and then announce a plan to run again as his own successor with hand-picked vice president. This would permit him to build up and train his man and then perhaps to quit around 1970. It would require constitutional changes which would be nothing new to De Gaulle who is used to having his own way. But whatever his plan, De Gaulle has no intention of becoming a lame duck. Ed Knych Holds Narrow PGA Lead FORT WAYNE, Ind. (UPD— Medalist Ed Knych of Fort Harrison slipped above par for the first time today in Windy weather but held a 3-up lead over George Thomas of Michigan City halfway through their 36-hole Indiana PGA golf championship match. Knych, who won the State Open this year, had a one-over-par 72 while Thomas carded a 74. Knych was 1-up after the front nine as the two played giveaway with each counteracting several of his own bogeys with birdies and doing a lot of three-putting on the breezy greens. Knych, the tourney medalist, qualified for the payoff round by besting Paul Gross, Indianapolis, and Thomas ousted Wayne Timberman Jr., Indianapolis, by identical 5 and 4 margins in Thursday’s semi-finals over Orchard Ridge’s rolling acres. Knych was in control all the way after blasting out a red-hot five-under-par 31 on the front nine Thursday morning for a 5-up lead. And when he opened up an 8-up lead on the backside, Gross was hopelessly beaten. Thomas, a former Purdue football player, trailed by one hole after nine, but won sfir of the< next seven with a pair of birdies and a flurry of pars to take an insurmountable lead. Thomas went 7-up in the afternoon with just eight holes to go before Timberman rallied briefly. Neither of the two finalists has ever captured this tourney, the last major event on the Indiana linksscheduleof the season. The winner succeeds Charlie Harter of Indianapolis, who surrendered the title Tuesday when he was beaten in the second round. Bryant Driver Arrested Following Accident A. Bryant driver was arrested thi^/morning following, a two-car accident four miles south of Berne on U. S. 27 at 9:35 a. m. Carl Alah Brookshire, 34, Bryant, was charged with reckless driving after his auto rammed the rear of a car operated by Weir Lincoln Shafer, 63, route 3, Warren. Both drivers were northbound when Shafer attempted a turn into a driveway. Brookshire failed to see the car turning, and rammed into the rear of the Shafer car. Damages were estimated at $175 to the Brookshire car and $l5O to the Shafer auto. State trooper Alan Coppes and deputy sheriff Warren Kneuss investigated.
