pressed surprise that records of

PROBE IS DELAYED:
IN WIRE TAPPING
Senate Committee Loses
Time Locating Former
Interior Official.

Failure Of Senate committee to
get In touch with Louis r. CLAWS,
former chief OF the Interior Depart
ment's investigation service, caused
postponement today OF an inquiry into
wire-tapping within the department.
Chairman Adams of the Senate
Public Lands Committee put the
hearing of until Monday when efforts
to reach Mr.. CLAWS failed. Later
however, Mr.. Adams said Mr.. CLAWS
telephoned from New York, saying he
would "be glad to appear Monday to
answer all questions"
Appearance OF Mr.. CLAWS was re-
ouested by Senator Steiwer, Republi-
can, OF Oregon, in connection with
the committees hearings on the nomi-
nation of E. K. Burlew to be First
Assistant Secretary Of the Interior.
Mr.. Steiwer said he wanted to ask
MIR. CLAWS about wire-tapping in the
department.
The committee today was in DOS
session OF the amazing story of a
$2,3O0-a-year clerk at the depart
ment who sWindled the Government
out OF $4,000 over four-year period
BY issuing and cashing vouchers for
dummy" c. c. c. comp.
The former clerk is E. X. Stitelv %
who recently pleaded guilty in Dis
trlct Court to a nine-count forgery
indictment. In accordance with rou-
tine procedure, his case is now before
the probation officer for study and
recommendation.
Tell Of Spending.
Three department investigators told
the committee how Stitely, who was a
voucher room chief in the National
Park Service. executed the forgeries
and used the money to pay off a s6 900
note on his residence. purchase an ex-
penslve automobile. gamble on sports
events. speculate in the stock market
and spend lavishly to entertain friends.
One of the investigators said the ac-
cused might still be getting away with
At If we hadn't shifted the scene of his
operations from one department to
another.
Chairman Adams called D. H.
Rozler. jr.; Robert c. Mccarthy and
Cecil G. Miles, the Investigators to
testify after Senator Pittman, Demo-
crat. OF Nevada interrupted his ques-
tlonlng OF Mr.. Burlew with a demand
that the departments files on the
Stitely case be submitted to the COM
mittee. MIR. Burlew previously had
told the committee he had no connec-
tion with disbursement of funds and,
IN reply to Senator Pittman's ques-
tlons, had explained he did not know
full details of the Stitely case.
Investigators Rozier, Mccarthy and
Miles said Stitely began in August,
1888, to forge vouchers on the
dummy c. c. c. camp he "estab-
hshed' in the Shenandoah National
Park IN Virginia, collecting them
through the War Department Dis
bursement Office, cashing them or de-
posting them to his account at banks
and then destroying copies that, in
regular procedure, would have been
nled with Park Service records.
Escaped Detection.
While Senators Pittman, McCarran,
Democrat, Of Nevada and others ex-
pressed anazement that Stitely was
able to continue his operations through
March, 1887. and expand them to in

CALLING THE CAGERS- No. 5:
 Nebraska m Big Six

KANSAS CITY Jan. 22.-Big Six basketball critics are desertlng a custom of long standing this year. In the past they selected the prob able champion by looking over the field and pointing to Kansas This year they are overlooking Kansas and pointing to the field, with slight nod towards Nebraska,
 In other words, for the first time in many a year, Dr. F. c. (Phog) Allen and his Kansas Jay hawks enter a conference campaign without the halo of favorites, al- though the fact they have won or shared the title six of the nine years since the formation of the loop makes the fans point elsewhere with miSgivings.
 With Nebraska preferred in a Big Six campaign that looks closer than bread and butter, the Missouri Val ley conference, which will match it's basketball against that of any loop, starts a race which also has the ear marks of dog fight, with any slight edge going to the defending cham pion Oklahoma Aggies.
 There is logic behind the choice of Nebraska as the Big Six favor ite. The Tuskers, co-champions with Kansas last year, are rich in veterans who possess both size and ability, and although the absence of the center jump, which the Ne braSkans seemed destined to control, may provide a handicap for sheer man-power they have the edge on their conference rivals. Kansas State Is the only rival to Nebraska in the matter of veteran material.
 The other conference schools = Iowa State, Missouri and Oklahoma are as green as gourds, with soph- omores overbalancing the veterans in the lineups.
 Although Coach w. Harold Browne lost two heavy-duty players from his potent 1887 Nebraska squad, he can put a team averaging feet 5 inches on the floor with a veteran at every position. In Bob Par sons he has one of the best guards

in this section, and in Floyd Ebaugh he has a star center.
 Oklahoma A. & M. which won the 1937 Missouri Valley conference crown, with II victories against one defeat, lost two regular guards, but replacements are capable and the cowboys loomed as contender again from the start.
 Champions or sharing the title five of the last nine years, the Crei- ghton Bluejays who finished second last year, again loom as threat despite the loss of three regulars.
 Drake and Grinnell, tied for third last year, again figure to be in the title fight Drake with an ambitious bunch of sophomores and Grinnell with tall, veteran team.
 The valley conference ushered in the leagues season January 3 by trying something new double header. Drake played St. Louis and Grinnell played Washington on the Washington court. The next naIht the teams switched partners and played a twin bill on the St Louis floor

got another toe hold, but Eustace broke it with reverse body slam and on his feet again, delivered still another body kick by the air route.
 After another exchange of flying body kicks and half nelson follow ups, the match was stopped after l8 minutes of fighting, and five min- utes later it was announced that Muma had broken two ribs. The decision called the match a popular draw.
 Doctor Council was called from the audience to attend him.
 The first match of the evening, the curtain raiser between Gil De- Vault and Mike Daniloff, from the High School, showed two boys who have learned a lot since the last bout they fought.
 They still fought for everything there was in the sack and pulled ring tricks that a lot of profess sionals often pass up opportunities to use. They drop kicked. body slammed, over kicked, scissored, used flying mares, wrist locks, toe holds and the rest of the list.
 Both boys fought hard and clever. ly. Both were fast and both could dish it out and take it." Daniloff showed he had been receiving ex- pert coaching somewhere and he showed definitely more polish than before.
 After l3 minutes of the scheduled Is minute fight. Daniloff threw Dc Vault and scored a fall with a body press. The decision was popu- lar and the crowd displayed approv- al of both boys.
 All in all it was god wrestling card and a good show It was not exactly a big crowd that attended, but it was a good looking crowd and a pleased crowd. Next Febru- ary 7ths mat card should be well received.

SEMI FINAL The Real Show)

When Doctor Webb climbed through the ropes at 187 pounds, 8 knowing wrestling audience moved forward in their seats and when big Bill Donovan followed him at 19s pounds, the crowd knew there would be a shoW-and nobody can deny there was not.
 Both came out slowly, Doc using that locomotive warm up motion with arms and feet, then suddenly went to the mat after a pair ot trippings.
 Doc suddenly rose from the melee with a triumphant sheer and spread MT. Donovan with a standing leg split and when Donovan broke loose, Doc rubbed the best part of the Donovan nose with tape the cagey doctor had on a left wrist.
 Donovan got a little peeved, slap- ped the doctor with a rabbit punch, tied him up in a head scissors, but then found himself going over in what can only be called hair throw"
 Bill retaliated with a body slam, arm scissors and another body slam, then a head lock, but Doc worked loose, got an arm scissors that he finally worked into figure four arm scissors before the break
 When the Donovan boy rolled out, he came back quickly with a nicely executed double step over toe hold but suffered a leg split in the trade, and then perhaps just to get even, kicked the Doctor out of the ring when he broke away.
 When Doc came back, Donovan threw him with a rolling wrist lock and made knot of him with head scissors. Doc grabbed him in a cru cifix and then to bring his stock back to par, kicked Donovan out of the ring.
 Back in the ring again Doc do- ing the locomotive Big Apple) , Donovan used flying tackle and a

body slam that he ended in a figure four arm scissors.
 Not content with that, MT. Dono- van did another body slam with 1 the Doctor and ended with an arm bar after a series of rolling wrist locks but while Doc lay on the mat wondering what to do, he got a beautiful inspiration.
 Referee Bill Byington was stand l ing within range and Doc grabbed him, ripped his shirt off, and when 1 Byington ripped bot h wrestlers apart, Doc went after him again ! Then the fight was on, but the By ington shirt was minus a right 1 sleeve.
 The crowd was getting a kick out of it and Doc made the fight really good when he punched Donovan in the midriff and followed with a fly ing kick and another Doc special hair throw"
 
 got toe hold; Bill got a leg split and Doc got leg split, and then finally, Donovan got a toe hold by himself.
 After the break, Doc was wrap ped in step over toe hold and Doc did a crawl to the edge of the ring, got purchase with his hands and pulled loose. Back in the ring again, Bill hit him with flying body shoulders.
 Watch his shoulders!" screamed Ia woman.
 You watch 'em!' hoWled Doc.
 After an arm scissors and body slam by Donovan, Doc broke loose and for some unaccountable, but profit-making reason, jumped the referee, MT. Byington.
 Then the battle royal beganl Doc tried to throw Byington out of the ring, Referee Byington did not want to get out of the ring and fought VdllanUly DaCk. Both were Strug- gling on the ropes, when Donovan decided he'd had enough of the foolishness and would throw them both out of the ring.
 He nearly did, but somebody in the mess reached out an arm and got headlock on Donovan and all three fell through the ropes and half into the aisles. With Dono- vans back bowed over the edge of the ring and one wrestler and one one referee on top of him, specta- tors rushed to his aid to hold up his shoulders.
 When the whole thing was over,

threw a head scissors and began tc try again for the Indian death lock but the willy Bill got hold of a Gas ton toe and hung on.
 That was Bills mistake. Gaston worked out and suddenly got be- hind Walthers, with both of Walth- CTS hands in the Gaston grip-ano presto. MT Walthers became a surf board, with Gaston's feet braced against Walthers shoulders and pull ing for all he was worth on Walth- CTS arms.
 That was fall number two, going to Gaston to even the score. Time, l3 minutes.
 Gaston walked out after the rest, ripped Walthers in a step over toot- sy hold, received a headlock himself, then got on Walthers and polished it of as he broke and stood up, by slapping Walthers a dirty rabbit punch.
 Walthers then grabbed Gaston in a beautiful head scissors and wrist lock; Gsston got a head scissors, and they broke. Walthers bucked Gaston one, got head scissors, fol- lowed by a body slam, and Gaston ended Walthers' fun with a rabbit punch on the back of the head ,egain.
 Gaston snapped over with those capable legs of his and got a head scissors, changed to an arm scis- sors, then missed one that left Wal thers on the top deck with a leg stretch.
 Again the Old Mexico man grab bed a head scissors, but Walthers gave him a body slam in return; Gaston got a wrist lock, followed with a head scissors which he lost when Bill tied the Gaston head in leg meat.
 The trade did not stop there. Gaston got his head scissors back again and worked it into a figure four arm scissors. Walthers rolled out and got an arm bar on Gaston then Gaston began to work for the Indian death lock, but changed his mind and threw another head scis- sors that developed into still an- other figure four arm scissors.
 When Walthers finally broke the grip, he found himself standing on Gaston with a standing arm bar which Gaston easily got out from under.
 After a few minutes more of fran tic trying for holds, Gaston got a grip on Walthers' wrist, and the latter went over in three hammer throws in a row Gaston polished it off with body press and fall after ten minutes of knot tying Tally: First fall to Walthers, sec ond two to Gaston.
