Young Heavies In Armory Go
Two of the leading young heavyweights in this territory have been signed for a match on the Armory wrestling card Tuesday night where George (Cry Baby) Zaharias, 245,
clashes with Champion Everett Marshall, 224, in the feature. The young grapplers are Ray Eckert, 216, St. Louis, and Bob Bruns, 220, Chicago. Bruns, a former Northwestern University athlete, gained a draw with Dorve (Iron Man) Roche here last Tuesday, turning in an impressive performance. Eckert has one draw and seven victories in eight local encounters. The BrunsEckert tussle will be for one fall, Marshall, listed as champ by the National Wrestling Association, will be facing one of the trickiest and roughest grapplers in the game when he takes on Zaharias. George always comes through with an assortment of grips and groans and usually manages to sneak over a triumph. John Granovich lost to the “Cry Baby’ last Tuesday, while Joe Cox was a victim two weeks ago.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 24 (U.P.) — Southern California abandoned all hope today of creating a _hitable defense for its Rose Bowl ga. with Duke and decided to stress passing.

By DON BEATTY World All-Events Champion Most bowlers develop a hook after they have mastered a straight ball to the one-three pocket. Wrist action provides the hook. I prepare to put english on the ball by turning my wrist in the backswing and obtain my hook simply by turning it back with a slight twist on delivery.

Blue Devils Reported Ready To Go Heavy on Attack in Rose Bowl.
By CHILES COLEMAN United Press Staff Correspondent : RALEIGH, N. C., Dec. 24—The|
Duke football team, which arrives
for almost the first time this season —to throw its full offensive strength into the Rose Bowl game with Southern California. Most of the things that have been said and written about Duke fhis
season have stressed the team’s great defensive record—unbeaten, untied and unscored on. But what ‘most people don’t realize is that Coach Wallace Wade made Duke a defensive team because the luck of the game forced him to do so. Wade knew last spring that he had a potentially great team. Then misfortune struck, George McAfee, triple threat back and a great ball carrier, underwent an operation on his foot that kept him on the side lines most of the season. Injuries struck Erie Tipton, Duke's best punter, and Jap Davis, the blocking back, and they missed many games.| |

JRAL ARGUMI BEGINS TUESDAY “IN FRAUD TRIAL
Baltzell Overrules Motion Of Defense for Verdict 3 Of Not Guilty. |
Oral arguments in the case of an alleged million-dollar mail fraud,
| being tried in.Federal Court, are to
begin at 9:30 a. m. Tuesday, Judge
| Robert C. Baltzell said today. !
Five officials of the Continental Credit Corp. of Winchester or of its alleged subsidiaries are defendants ‘was heard yesterday. Both the defense and Government rested their cases, U. 8. Attorney Val Nolan is to have two hours for the Government’s arguments and a total of three hours is to be divided among attorney for the five defendants, ‘Judge Baltzell stated. ei) The jury is to be instructed to reurn a separate verdict on each defendant, the Judge added. Motions for a directed verdict of “not guilty” were .overruled yesterday by Judge Baltzell. The Government had waived the right of rebuttal. ;
- Withdrawal Denied - ‘Motions for ‘the withdrawal - of
‘| some of the evidence made by the
attorney for Ralph S. Phillips, a defendant, also were overruled. Exceptions were read into the record. Russell E. Wise, last of the defendants to testify, told the jury that after his discovery of duplicate warehouse receipts, he notified the Department of Justice office in Indianapolis. Mr. Wise was counsel and later receiver for Continental. He also is president of the Union Trust Co. of Union City, a bank, and for almost a month was manager of Continental’s Winchester office. Gs Until the time he was appointed manager on May 14, 1937, he had
other than he testified. He. did not prepare contracts for atinental’s use with their customer companies, he s#id. At all times, he said, he was paid separate fees for his work and was never on a straight salary. In March, 1937, he said, he was called to the Commercial Bank & Trust Co. at Winchester by State bank examiners. They told him that Continental had a $93,000 overdraft at the bank. At a further conference of bank examiners, he told the jury, men from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. told him the bank should be closed.
Ball Loans $36,000 Mr. Wise said he asked them to wait until Continental had an opportunity to pay for the “protested” checks. At a- meeting later George Ball loaned Continental $36,000, Mr. Wise: loaned them $4000 and the balance, except for about $7000, was given the bank in collateral, Mr. Wise stated. The following day, he said ,James P. Goodrich, former Indiana Governor, sent over a check for the $7000. Of his $4000, Mr. Wise testified, he has received all but $1200. This is secured, he added, by John W. Moore Jr.'s: Union Trust Co. stock. Mr. Moore Jr. is one of the deferidants. Mr. Wise deniéd, as Government witnesses had testified, that. there were “substantial overdrafts” in the Continental's account in Mr. Wise’s bank, When he went into Continental as manager, he said, he found “several weeks” mail unopened. Most of this, he explained, was inquiries from banks concerning unpaid notes
that of legal counsel,
.| of Continental's customer compa-
nies. On June 5, 1937, he said, he left Continental as he had found evidence of duplicate warehouse -receipts. When he informed Mr. Moore Jr. of this, he stated, the latter said he would check into it. At that time, Mr. Wise told the jury, evidence showed that there were between $162,000 and $164,000 in duplicate receipts. After his resignation he found that letters over ‘his signature were being sent from the firm to banks regarding notes which were backed by these receipts. “Collateral Missing” Earlier in the trial O. E. Ruth of Columbus, O., former salesman for Continental, testified that after he found collateral missing on which notes had been issued he went into the office of John Macy, Winchester attorney, to write his resignation. At that time, he has stated, Mr. Wise and Mr, Macy were in the office together. When he told them that he intended to resign, he has said, Mr. Wise said to Mr. Macy, “we can’t let him do that. It would stir things up.” Mr. Wise.in ‘his testimony yesterday denied this. Later Mr. Macy took the stand. He stated that Mr. Wise at no time ever had made such a statement. The latter added that it was no concern of his what Mr. Ruth did as Mr. Wise then had no connection with Continental. He said that when he was manager he had no authority whatever over the employees or the money of the firm. 5
All information concerning transactions of the firm he obtained from H, Emerson Butts, Continental kkeeper, he said. Mr. Butts subtatiated Mr. Wise’s statements. Defendants in the case include Mr. Wise, Mr. Moore Jr., secretary treasurer of Continental and vice president of the Indiana Warehouse Corp.; John W. Moore Sr. Continental president; Mr. Phillips, Mineral Felt Co. treasurer, and Kenneth P. Kimball, president of the Kim-Murph Co.

EXTENSION LAW WILL BE SOUGHT
Governor Says New Deadline For Autoists Wouldn't Hinder Funds.
Legislation moving ahead | dendline for purchasing motor’ hicle licenses from Jan. 1 to Ma 1. would not affect the allocation} of funds derived: from license sale to the State's highway construction and maintenance program, Governor Townsend said today. The Governor, who announced yesterday that arrangements had been made to extend the Jan. 1 deadline to March 1, said he would recommend to the General Asse bly the passage of laws necessary to change the date of license sales to some time ' between, March 1 and July 1. . “I don’t’ believe such a change would interfere with the highway maintenance fund provided it were not later than March 1,” the Governor said. “However, the date would be decided by the Legislative, which would have to work out ithe mechanics of the change.” The executive order does not apply to operators’ licenses, which must be obtained by Jan, 1. Extensions of motor vehicle license pur= chases have been granted for [the past two years. f T. A. Dicus, State Highway Commission chairman, held the same view, but added: “If the Legislature should pass & law setting the date for motor |vehicle license purchases after March 1, we would have to adjust lour building and maintenance program to meet a change in revenue collections. | Gas Tax Principal Source
“Under the present system, most of our expenditures don’t fall due until midsummer. However, the gasoline tax is the principal source of revenue in the “Motor Vehicle Highway Account.” i The Commission’s records show that revenue derived from licenses, which also include the weight, certificate of title and auto transfer taxes, is less than al fifth of| the total account. { During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1938, the gasoline tax amounted to $11,429,587.20 whilesthe motor vehicle license taxes were $4,019,338.48. State Police and all local enforcement units have been requested by the Governor to allow motorists to operate with their 1938 plates until March 1, 1939. :
