MacArthur to Enter ' City “In Triumph.
By WILLIAM B. DICKINSON United Press Staff Correspondent
YOKOHAMA, Sept. 7.—Plans were completed today for Gen, Douglas MacArthur's triumphal entry into
Tet ¥.
bomb-tavaged Tokyo about 10 a. m.|;
tomorrow (8 p. m. today, Indianapolis time). The supreme commander is expected to raise the Stars and Stripes over the American embassy across the street from Emperor Hirohito's| palace at 10:30 a. m. (8:30+p. m, today, Indianapolis time). The ceremony will symbolize the final act of Japan's capitulation. The flag is the same one which flew from the capitol on Washing-| ton on Pearl Harbor day in 1941] and since has flown over Berlin and Rome and from the masthead of the Missouri during the signing of Japan's surrender last Sunday. MacArthur will return to his Yokohama headquarters after the flag-raising. He ultimately will establish his headqfarters in the Tokyo embassy building, but not until sufficient’ office space and billets can be found in Tokyo for his staff. The 7th and 8th regiments of the 1st cavalry division, chosen by MacArthur to spearhead the occupation of Tokyo, will roll into Tokyo In trucks and other vehicles about breakfast time tomorrow. They will assemble at the main Tokyo railway station by 10 a. m.

Police Chief Jesse McMurtry today ordered special detective squads sent out each might for an indefinite period to combat a series of slug-
ing entirely too numerous.” His action was the direct result’ of the latest slugging in which a 92-year-old. north side funeral director's wife was the victim. The woman, Mrs, Alice Hamilton was in serious condition today at ‘City hospital. She was. criminally attacked early last night as she went ta.the rear of ‘her home at 3002 Winthrop ave. to empty a pan of garbage. The special police squads were

Arrested in Park Meanwhile, two youths —one 18 and the other 20—were held for questioning today. But Detective Chief Cliff Beeker disclosed he did not consider either a suspect in the Hamilton caSe. One youth, 20, was arrested at University park early this morning, He ran’ when he saw police and stopped only when they threatened to shoot. Police said he had been an inmate two years at the Central Indiana hospital, having been sent there following convictions for burg- | lary and rape. About 8 a. m. police arrested the 18-year-old youth. Armed with a knife and a piece of metal pipe, police said he had threatened Mrs. Clara Applegate, 45, of 2120 Broadway, Apt. 2. Flourishing a knife, he was said to have warned: “You better be good.” Marks on Throat A man, whom Mrs. Hamilton was unable to identify immedidtely in her incoherent condition, stepped from the shadows near a garage at her Winthrop ave. home and beat and choked her, Hospital physicians found fingernail marks on her throat and cuts on both jaws, apparently inflicted by the attacker's fists, Mrs. Hamilton went out the back door to two garbage cans at the rear of the house. Her husband, Orville C. Hamilton, who operates a funeral business in his home, and a friend, George Mann, 75, were sitting in the front of the house. They heard no cry, police learned, but a moment later Mrs. Hamilton

Promises to Earmark Fund For Calumet Region.
Governor ‘Gates today ended chances for establishment of* the Wolf Lake state park at Hammond, at least during his administration. However, the Governor conceded that additional recreational facilities were needed ‘in the Calumet area and said that $566,000 in taxes collected for the Wolf Lake project had been earmarked for that pur-
“I shall therefore recommend to the next session of the general assembly, which will be called upon to make disposition of the existing state balance, that the Wolf Lake fund . . . be used for the creation of greater recreational facilities for the people of this heavily populated | area,” the Governor said. Gates gave his views after the] state department of conservation recommended that further steps to establish the park at Hammond be discontinued. Z The governof said that the effect of the department's report was

The investigation was approved in the senate yesterday with the President's indorsement. It will be agreed to in the house next week. There will probably be a joint committee of five members from each house, Questioned at his press conference yesterday aiternoon, Mr. Truman quickly aligned himself with the rest of the public by saying he knew nothing about the Pearl Harbor disaster except what he read in the newspapers. in other words, this isn't his vibe) and if it cries someone else will}

A 62-year-old man was found dead early today in a ditch in the 5400 block of N. Keystone ave., not far from the place where two youths were slightly injured earlier in the evening when their car hit a utility pole. co The man, who was virtually dea {capitated, was George Eniwistle of 5457 N. Keystone, a night watchman- at a filling station at 52d st. and Keystone ave. The sheriff's office was planning to question the youths this afters noon to learn if it was thefr car which caused the death of Mr, Entwistle, _ EERIE A deputy sheriff, Earl Cozart, “said a man’s shoe was found in the car, another near the utility pole and that none was on Mr. Entwistle’s body. It was presumed that the shoes were Mr. Entwistle’'s. A .shers ifl's office investigator, Virgil Quinn, said city police had told him there were reports that cars had been racing down Keystone ave, about that time of night. .
No One in Car
The story, as told by investigators from city police and county sherty 8 offices, was this: About 10:30 last night city polies were called to 5400 block of N. Key~ stone ave. There they found a car which had hit a utility pole, No one was in it. In radio contact {with police headquarters, they | learned that the driver and -pas- | senger of the car had been taken to a north side home and treated for cuts by a private physician, "The boys. both in their mid-teens, told police they were driving south on Keystone ave. when the car went out of control, swerved to the left and then to the right, hit & couple of mail boxes and then struck the utility pole... Towed to Mofor Inn *_ The mother of the youth who was driving had the car towed to the Pennsylvania Motor Inn, 1450 N. Pennsylvania st. There was nothing more to the case until the Pennsylvania Motor Inn attendant telephoned the police at 1:30 in the morning, saying the car was “gov. ered with blood.” The towed-in car was reported to have blood on one side and even on the top.
