Ship Operation

WASHINGTON, June 28 (U. P), —President Truman today signed into law legislation which will enable the United States to continue to meet some of the problems in the domestic and international oil

authorizing the U. 8. maritime commission to operate or charter until next March 1 government-owned ships of which about 258 are tankers. About 60 of the tankers are in domestic operation. : Unless the law had been passed operation of government - owned ships in the merchant marine would have ended June 30.

Thug Faces Quiz In Hoosier Slaying

Indiana state police, despairing of ever solving the 20-month-old Rockport wheatfield slayings, ? planned today to question a desperado held in Chicago. Capt. John J. Barton, chief of detectives, said Hoosier police would try to learn if Amiel R. Barker, 40-year-old St. Louis ex-convict, knew |anyning about the southern Indiana mystery. The bodies of George Tyson, 38, and Miss Ethel Sparks, 18, East St. Louis, Ill, were found in a shallow grave on a farm in Spencer county in October, 1945. They had been strangled and shot. The girl had $3200 hidden in her brassiere, The only clue was a folder of matches advertising a Jeffersonville night club. Barker, tagged as “Public Enemy No. 1,” was caught in Chicago yesterday. He was charged with violation of the federal car theft act. Barton said there was no particular reason to suspect Barker of knowledge of the Hoosier crime except that he had St. Louis underworld connections and the Indiana deaths were believed related to gangland warfare in that city.

Hits Another Snag

The proposed sgnate investigation of alleged vote frauds in Missouri's “purge” primary encountered another snag. ; Chairman Homer Ferguson (R.

Senator Pat McCarran (D., Név.), a member of the subcommittee, contends that a senate inquiry would merely duplicate the efforts of the FBI. But Mr. Ferguson said he might report to the full committee Monday, even without Mr. McCarran’s approval.

A taxi driver reported that he had picked up a fare who fitted the description of the driver of the truck in which Mrs. Reyman was found Thursday. The cab driver termed his passenger of “stocky” build, between 28 and 30 years old” The man alighted from the cab when the! meter reached $1, the driver said. Squads of detectives continued to search for the wooded area where Mrs. Reyman’s head probably was crushed by a club after she was. criminally attacked. Almost a hundred lovers’ lanes and groves had been examined at the outskirts of the city but none showed evidence of being the slaying scene, where police believed they would find major clues. : Twigs Are Clues Twigs between her toes definitely established that the victim died in a glade where hickory trees and honeysuckle grew, police said. Also sought were Mrs. Reyman’s handbag and underclothing. The articles were not in the truck where the trussed body was found when blood was seen leaking from the vehicle—an estimated 12 hotirs after the chunky man had abandoned the car on busy Moreland ave. The comely victim and her husband, R. M. Reyman, moved to Georgia about six months ago from Winchester, Ind, and purchased a farm at nearby Bogart. They were building a tourist camp on their property.

Link Siegel To Drug Ring

Million-Dollar Racket Revealed by Police

—A police official hinted today that Benjamin (Bugsby) Siegel may have been murdered in Hollywood because of his leadership of an international narcotics gang. The gang helped build the drug traffic between the United States and Mexico into the largest in the world, Ignacio Mancilla Vega, assistant chief of the judicial police of the federal district and territories, said Siegel might have been killed as a result of a fight within the gang, known as the “million-dollar ring.” Siegel's ring controlled most of the drug traffic between the United Sfates and Mexico, Mr. Mancilla said. Mexico has become the chief supplier of the United States, the largest user in the world. Deported to Italy Charles (Lucky) Luciano, former U. 8. gang leader, tried unsuccessfully to gain control of the narcotics traffic more than a year ago, Mr. Mancilla said. Luciane, deported to Italy from the United States, was latér deported from Cuba also at U. S. request. He said he doubted that Luciano or his agents had anything to do with Siegel's murder. Luciano came to Brownsville, Tex, frqn Cuba and established contact with Chinese poppy growers in Mexico, Mr. Mancilla said, but failed to make a deal. Mexican and U. 8, police had known about the activities of the “million dollar ring” for several years, Mr, Mancilla said. Like other gangs, it reportedly used various types of transportation—airplanes, boats and automobiles. Mr. Mancilla said the head of the ring in Mexico was Max Cossman, alias Max Weber, alias John Smith. Mr. Mancilla's jurisdiction includes Baja California, which adjoins the state of California.

Green Cool to Bid For Labor Bloc

WASHINGTON, June 28 (U. P.). —C. I. O. President Philip Murray’s bid to form a united labor bloc for the 1948 elections and fight for repeal of the Taft-Hartley law today appeared doomed to failure. A. F. of L. President William Green took a dim view of the new C. I. O. attempt to establish joint political action with the A. F. of L. and the railroad brotherhoods. Mr. Green refused to comment directly on the proposal Mr. Murray announced last night. But he pointed to his statement of two days ago as expressing the A. FP. of L's position on the issue. Other Unions Shy Mr. Green said then that the A. F. of L. would have a parallel political action program to repeal the Taft-Hartley law and defeat members of congress who voted for it. But he emphasized that it would not be a program carried on jointly with the C. I. O. Mr. Murray's plea for united action failed to win immediate approval from other branches of organized labor as well. Doesn't Mean Third Party The C. 1. O. president made it clear that he was not thinking in terms of a third political party. The C. I. O. executive board dis~ approved suggestions for a general labor law. It ordered the C, I.

Ammunition Order Bolsters China

SHANGHAI June 28 (U. P).— China's feeling that she had been abandoned by the United States was turned into elation today by the state department announcement that surplus rifle ammunition would be sold to the Chinese government at a cut rate, The Chinese had felt they had been let down when Secretary of State George C. Marshall announced the deadline for the half billion dollar export import bank loan to China would be allowed to expire. But today, pro-government afternoon papers printed a Washington United Press dispatch on the arms sale under a banner equaling the one on the story about the loan. The papers played up the angle that the sale signified support by the United States of the national government in its fight against communism. Other observers, however, claimed the announcement was an “alibi,” because it ‘emphasized munitions were made for Chinese rifles before the end of the war under the lendlease program, but’ had not been sent to China’ because of a shortage of shipping space.

Mr. Truman's fiscal advisers differ sharply on what he should do if new bill reaches him. Those who think he should sign are same ones who wanted him to base veto solely on argument that tax reduction was premature.
