shootings, police alleged.
zuta and Geisking first met when
zuta was pay off man for the
Bugs" Moran gang in Chicago,
and Geisking, after a few years OF
Terre Haute gang work, wanted to
show Moran how tough he was.
Moran put him on the working

and hijacking. Moran thought lot
of the Indianapolis gangster and
protected him in every instance
where it seemed probable that he
might be apprehended.

On more than one covoy trip Mo-
ran is said to have told Geisking's
partners to take a rap if you have
to, but let Ted clear, because there's
plenty of heat under him"
In other words, Moran kept him
working, but didn't want him
nabbed and his past record barred.
Geisking is feared by gangsters in
Indiana. He has the reputation of

CRIME GROUPS
REPORT SCORED
AS IMPRACTICAL
FifieId Demands Wardens
Be Included in Safety
Department.

While members Of the state crime
commission met at the statehouse
in secret session today to discuss
their new executive committee re-
port, it was assailed by department
heads as being both unfair and i'm
practical.
Charge Of unfairness came from
Secretary Of State Otto G. Fifeld.
He based it on the recent change
in the original report which would
leave the state game wardens out
Of a proposed department of safety.
Chairman j. A. Van OSdol Of the
commission contended in presenting
the new report to Governor Harry
G. Leslie Saturday that the depart
ment of safety and state judicial
council are the high points for
legislative action.
Wants Wardens In
Il favor a department of safety
with the game wardens and ali
other state employees with police
powers being included" Fi1eld de-
clared.
Surely no favorites should be
played in determining a new gov
ernmental policy. We do not need
department Of safety and a safety
commission to handle only my forty
state police and the criminal identi-
flcation bureau.
The game Wardens were with
drawn from the proposed depart
ment set-up after objections tc
their inclusion by Attorney Leo M
Rappaport, member of the crime
commission and brother-in-law OF
Director Richard Lieber of the state
conservation department. Game
wardens now function under Lieber
Board Of Four Members
AS discussed today, the commits
sion report on a safety department
would include bipartisan board
of four members to have charge OF
all police and deputy sheriff licens-
ing, the state police, criminal iden-
tiflcation bureau, arson investiga-
tors and oil inspectors.
Since arson investigation now is
financed by insurance fees as part
of the state fire n1arshal's functions
State Fire Marshal Alfred E. Hog
ston declared it is unlikely that this
would be done, if they are removed
to department Of safety.
DR.. William F. King. director OF
the state health department, stated
that transfer of the oil inspectors
from his Office to a safety depart
ment might be all right if it was
"a safety department"

HOWARD Is FAVORED
TO BEAT LIVINGSTONE
Clash Tomorrow in Bison Stadium
Showing Against West Virginia
State Pleases.

Towards showing against West Vir-
GINA State last week, In spite Of the
hectic firSt half, was satisfactory and
strengthened its confidence that this
seasons eleven will show o marked I'M
provement over 1929.
West Virginia was as strong as ex-
pected, and there Is no doubt that it
had hoped to win by large score with
the work Of its splendid back, Edwards,
and its hard-plunging line.
Last years team probably would have
been helpless against the varied and
smooth smashing attack of West Vir-
ginia, and almost surely would have
been defeated by at least four touch
downs. That Howard could come back
in the second half with the brilliant
passing attack 1t exhibited is thought to
indicate that Verdalls squad possesses
more potential offensive strength than
was expected.
The team has been working hard in
preparation for tomorrow's tilt with
Livingstone College Of Salisbury, N. c.,
in the Howard Stadium. In Living
stone, Verdall Is expecting to have at
least as hard an opponent as in West
Virginia, though 1t has no outstanding
stars like Edwards and Boxsdale. How
ever, there is every reason to believe
that Howard will be much stronger with
its running attack and should win by
at least three touchdowns.
Outwardly, Coach Verdall Is greatly
worried over his offense and Is drilling
his squad hard in that phase of the
game. Verdall is . graduate of North
western University of Evanston, Ill,
and was luminary there at end.

A SSIsTANT professionals Of the

~ play for the assistants cham
pionship next Thursday ct
Rodgers Forge Golf Club, and II you
think the boys are not in earnest
about winning this event, watch them
these days a. they 60 through their
morning workouts. The assistant pros,
be it known, are the gents who have
not quite arrived at the stature OF a
real golf professional. That simply
means that they do lot Of work by
way of repairing clubs, giving lessons
and generally cleaning up the odd jobs
the boss has no time to do, and in be-
tween, when they get a moment to
spare. they hit a golf ball around.
Two years ago Brick Wood, the as
sistant pro at the Washington club,
caught streak of hot golf and won the
assistants championship. They gave
him something in the neighborhood OF
$40 for winning and at that time Brick
could use the $40. But Brick is for
ward-looking lad, and he wanted scme-
thing to tell his budding young family
that their daddy at one time had won
a golf tournament.
So Brick took the $40 and went down
town to a jewelers. where he had q
medal made with the proud inscription,
Assistant Professional Championship,
1922 Brick didn't do so well last
year, for during the interim they had
made him the guard over q lot OF cad
dies and set him out on q cold hillside
