Bill Pinkston Given The Adam Sajko Award At The Rotary Foofball Banquet

Bill Pinkston, halfback on the Golden Arrows this season, was crowned as the winner of the Adam Sajko Award at the annua football banquet held at the Methodist Church Annex last I night. Pinkston is the second Arrow player to be given the award that was originated in memory of Adam Sajko, who died during the latter part of the 1945 football season. Following his death, a committee of local fans decided to make a living memorial to him, in the form of an annual award to the senior football player who best exemplifies the virtues that Sajko displayed. The committee who selected Pinkston as the senior player who showed the same qualities as Sajko was composed of Bill Jones, football coach; Homer H. Murray; H. C. Gilmore, principal of the high school; J. Allan Campbell, superintendent of schools; and Jack Fisher, representing the alumni of S. H. S., and the 1947 football team. . The award was announced by Mr. Fisher during the program at the church last night in which he gave the certificate of award to Pinkston. Last year, when the award was given for the'first time, Jack Turpen was named as the winner. This year, Turpen is a student at Ball State Teacher's College, Muncie, where he is a member of the football team. The banquet was attended by members of the Rotary Club, the

WOMAN SHOT BY JEALOUS CAB DRIVER

GARY, Irid., Dec. 2. (UP) Records in the Chicago and Gary police departments told a story of passionate love that ended last night when a husky Syrian shot his sweetheart to death in a taxicab, hurled her body into a river, and then was killed in a fight with police. Police said that Alex Habeeb, age 47, a Chicago cabdriver, apparently was enraged with jealousy last night when he stalked Georgia Cummings, age 23, until he found her about 9 p. m. in a tavern here. As soon as he saw her in the tavern, witnesses said, he fired a shot which narrowly missed Miss Cummings and then he forced her out of the saloon at gun-point. Outside, he hailed a passing taxi and forced the driver to drive around town until he killed the woman by firing several shots into her body as they sat side by side in the rear seat. Patrons at the tavern called police, who launched a swift search for the cab. After Miss Cummings had been killed, Habeeb forced the cabbie to drive to a bridge over the Calumet River. There he . dragged Miss Cummings' body from the cab and heaved it over the rail into the stream. Wile doing so, the cabbie drove away, and police found Habeeb at the bridge.

Molotov last week refused an invitation to the American Embassy, but replied by inviting Marshall to the Soviet Embassy. Marshall promptly accepted. The action came as Trench strong man, threatened to campaign against any Bidault compromise that he did not like. Bidault left England last night for a twenty-four hour visit to Paris to consult urgently with his government.

HALLECK SAYS, AID AMOUNTS ARE TOO HIGH WASHINGTON, Dec. 2. (UP) House Republican Leader Charles Halleck today reported "considerable 1 sentiment" among House Republican leaders for cuts in the emergency foreign aid bill. Halleck made the statement after a meeting of the House Republican steering committee. He said the committee had made no decision on the bill. "There was a lot of discussion about the amount," the Indiana Republican said. "I can say that there is considerable sentiment among a lot of Republicans th.the amount in the bill is too large." Halleck referred to the House bill which is already $7,000,000 below the $597,000,000 authorization approved by the Senate yesterday by a vote of 83 to 6. The Senate bttl covers aid for France, Italy, and Austria in substantially the form " asked by President Truman. The House version as approved by the foreign affairs committee not only slashed the total, but added that $60,000,000 should go for China, Halleck said no decision had been reached as to whether or how much should be cut. He said general debate on the bill might start Thursday and might cover from ten to twelve hours, all told. "We want to give the members plenty of time because a lot of them want to make it plain that they are not committing themselves on the Marshall plan at this time," he said.
