illegal. It.wvas illegal, they said, because: ONE: The affidavit requesting the

search warrant was not signed. TWO: Police had based their repauest for a search warrant on “hearsay” evidence, THREE: Allegations in the search warrant were not set out verbatim | as they were written in the amdavit, but were paraphrased, , FOUR: The gambling equipment was not brought to the justice's house, as specified in the search warrant, but lodged in the court house, Gibbs Is Puzsled

Prosecutor Gibbs said this last point puzzled him: While the language, of the search warrant instructs police to bring confiscated at goods before the peace officer issu-] ing the warrant, the statute speci» files that such equipment must be turned over to the sheriff, “The defendant's attorneys told the justice of the peace that he had stuck his neck out when he issued a search warrant on an une signed affidavit,” sald Mr, Gibbs. “We argued that it didn't make any difference, but the justice decided against us.” Today, Justice Greenlee said there was no question in his mind that the search warrant was illegal. He is a kindly old gentleman and a little nonplussed himself at the. myriad angles in the statutes against gambling. He used to be in the construction business before he retired to become justice of the peace, Meanwhile, some Hendricks county folks are betting that'state police won't succeed a third time if the Clermont casino, a formger dance hall, reopens under the same management. The law seems to make raiding a gambling house a losing gamble for state police. ¢,

Sports Fix’ Case Who Offered Bribe, Graziano Asked

his feet after nis round with .the district attorney. He , insisted he thought the man was ‘kidding him about laying down for Cowboy Ruben Shank of Denver.

Graziano, a one-time “dead-end kid” from New York's East side, may have throwh away his chance at the title—and the winner's share ‘of a $400,000 gate—by not reporting the incident. Col. Edward Egan, state boxing commissioner, summoned him for a hearing next Friday. The state athletic commission's rules provides that a fighter who is asked to participate in a “sham or collusive” contest must report it to the commission. Graziano didn't. His amazing revelation to Hogan that he had listened to a proposition to throw his Dec. 27 hout at Madison Square Garden to Shank, then faked a back allment because he didn’t want to go through with the deal, provided boxing with the most sensational scandal in its history. Seeks to Learn Name Graziano was not under arrest, but. Mr, Hogan let him know the round of questioning would eontinue to a decision. There is no law which makes it a crime for an athlete to listen to a bribe so long as he does not accept it. Mr. Hogan questioned Graziano for 15 hours on Saturday night and Sunday morning before bringing him before the grand jury yesterday, The district attorney was convinced that he still would learn more from the fighter. “Graziano hasn't told me everything he should,” Mr. Hogan said. “I think he could tell me the name of the man who approached him.” Phone Tapping Permitted A full-dress investigation of professional prize fights in the New York City area is being supervised by Assistant District Attorney Alfred Scotti. It is reported to inlude obtaining of 60 court orders by police for the tapping of telephone lines of bookmakers, fight managers, suspected racketeers and Broadway gamblers. Paris is now awaiting sentence for his attempt to bribe two New York Giant backfield stars, Merle Hapes and Frankie Filchock, the latter a former Indiana university star. At the time of his arrest the names of Stemmer, Zarowitz and David (Pete) Krakauer were brought into the case. Phoned Bets from Jail Paris and five other witnesses appeared” before the grand jury yesterday and their revelations led to the indictment. Stemmer’s involvement in the “betting scandal was fantastic. Serving out a year's term as a trusty at thé city prison for bribing five Brooklyn college players to throw a game against Akron university at Boston in early February of 1945, he still made bets by telephone, it was alleged. Offered Cash Bail Krakauer was identified as the alleged head of a flourishing New Jersey syndicate, one which reportedly took in upwards of $70,000 on one Friday in December, most of it on a garden bout between Charley Fusari and Chuck Taylor. The district attorney's office identifled Krakauer as the man who offered to put up $328,500 cash bail When Paris was arrested. Zarowits is alleged to be a liaison man between gamblers and hookies. He was arrested and held under $10,000 bail as a material witness

Strohm Sees No War Threat Now

(Continued From Page One)

Russia is the cry of ‘Wolf,’ If war is in the cards, it is in the far distant future. Meanwhile, it is our job to prevent it through a firm but fair foreign policy.” Mr. Strohm had difficulty getting into Russia. His visi did not come through, Five months and nine countries after leaving the states, he still had no visa. He used the direct approach and cabled Stalin personally. : It worked, just as it had with Mahatma. Ghandi 10 years before in India. A combination reporter-photog-rapher, Mr. Strohm expressed admiration for The Times reproduction of one of his color films in the opening article of the series. “I believe The Times was the only paper to do this in their regular editions. I have sent a copy fo Russia to the monk who posed for it.”

‘Pictures Lend Weight “I feel that the combination of reporting and photography is the coming thing in journalism. I am sure that the pictures lent weight to my series for they proved graphically that I actually went where I-said I did, and talked to- whom I said I talked.” Mr. Strohm is married to a Pur-

Ex-Suitor Sought

Victim Had Jilted Former Convict

CHICAGO, Jan. 28 (U. P)~A disgruntled suitor, missing from his wood-processing business for the last two days, was sought for questioning today in the slaying of Mrs.

Irene Shawsky, 30, whose strangled |- body was found in a desolate swampland near Gary, Ind. A police teletype message identified the siutor as Joseph Muscarello, 34, an ex-convict, who police said had kept company with Mrs, Shaw=sky until the two quarreled last month. Sgt. John Ascher. of the homicide buerau said police began an intensive search for Muscarello after learning he recently had threatened Mrs. Shawsky’s life and at one time attempted to drag her into an automobile in a desperate effort to see her again. Husband Estranged Frank Shawsky, husband of the dead woman, told police he had been living apart from his wife since his discharge from the navy fast September because of -their inability to find housing. However, included among the victim's personal effects was a receipt for $50, paid to a Chicago lawyer as a retainer to institute divorce proceedings. Joseph Gervase, Muscarello’s business partner, told detectives Muscarello failed to appear at their factory either Sunday or yesterday, as planned. Mrs. Shawsky, a lingerie saleswoman for a mail order firm, was found bound and strangled Sunday afternoon in a swamp just off an unimproved and little-traveled road. Doctors said she had been dead 10 or 12 heurs. She had. not been raped. : Returns Diamond Ring Mrs, Shawsky’s fellow workers said she had confided to them that she had returned a $1000 diamond ring to a friend named “Joe” and qudted her as saying she had found out “he wasn't what he said he 'was—he was just a cheap crook.” Mr. Gervase told police Muscarello got back a diamond ring from Mrs, Shawsky shortly after Christmas, Police records showed that Muscarello had been paroled from Joliet penitentiary Feb, 4, 1944, after serving part. of a term for armed robbery.
