Very truly yours,

Mr. Frank ("I am the law'D Hague,
Mayor of Jersey City,
Jersey City, New Jersey.
Dear Sir:
After reading a story in Newsweek
under date of May 21st (and this is
only one of the articles l have read
about your activities as mayor of Jer-
sey City, l could not resist the temp
tation of dropping you few lines to
give you my reaction, although | feel
sure it will fall like water on a duck S
back.
1t is hard to believe that we have
such dictatorial set-ups in these Unit
ed States as exists in Jersey City
Years ago Montana had a Vigilante
Committee that did great deal of
service for the state but as you have
the largest and most efficient police
force (gestapo) on your payroll of
any city in the United States of its
size, it may be an impossibility for
such a committee to exist in Jersey
City, although | do know such things
could not happen in Montana - at
least for over one term of office be-
cause the people of Montana are not
bunch of dubs as the inhabitants of
Jersey City seem to be.
We did have a governor here by
the name of Roy Ayers whom / have
known since 1907 and whom l sup
ported for congress after he went |
broke. The one reason l supported |
him then was to get him out of state |
politics, knowing full well that he
was elected governor at one time and |
l believe was counted out at the in
stigation of some corporations in |
Butte, Mont, and it was a good thing
because if he had he would undoubt-
eddy have prostituted the state. After
serving two terms in congress, he
came back and was elected governor
through a lot of Misrepresentation
but only for one term and got the
worst beating that any Democratic
governor ever got in the state of
Montana
Your regime in Jersey City would |
compare favorable with Hitler and |
Mussolini although in my personal
opinion it is even worse because it
exists in democratic country. Ayers

Singleton Loses
 To Johnny Cool; Dave Butler Wins

New Bedford, Mass, Feb. 21-(UP) New England lightweight titlist Benny Singleton, 137, of Waterbury, Conn. suffered his first setback in l8 professional fights last night when he dropped a 10-round de. ciSion to rugged Johnny Cool, 136, of Worcester in a non-title bout at Bristol arena.
 The 18-year-old Negro from the Nutmeg state started off slowly, and his late rally was not enough to turn the tide. Cool scored consist ently with left jabs to the head and body
 Only two weeks ago the Massa- chusetts Boxing Commission had permitted a 12-round bout between Singleton and the veteran Oscar St. Pierre 0: Fall River for the New England title. The commission had contended that these two boxers, who had been featured in number of preliminary matches, were the winners of an elimination" tourney sponsored in Massachusetts and Rhode Island clubs directed by Pro- noter Sam Silverman.

LA GUARDIA AGE
 SAYS GARDEN
 GAMES HONEST
By CARL LUNDQUIST United Press Staff Correspondent

V New York, Feb. 21 - (U.P) - A report by an ace city investigator today showed mo evidence of any dishonesty" in basketball games by teams at Madison Square Garden. It also reported that two players had turned down offers to deal with gamblers.
 Commissioner of Investigation Ed ward Bromberger, assigned by Mayor F. H. LaGuardia to get at the bottom of the alleged basketball ir- regularities, gave college teams in the Metropolitan area clean bill of health.
 There is no evidence of any dis honesty, culpable irregularity or corrupt dealings with the exception of the five Brooklyn College players who admitted taking a bribe," Bromberger said in a lengthy off, cial report to the mayor.
 No Fault
 Although he covered only city owned colleges in his investigation, 1t went into detail on all games at the Garden and the report stated that there was no fault to be found with operations there.
 Bill Levine, captain of City Col lege of New York team, one of IA witnesses questioned by Bromberger, revealed the attempts by gamblers to fix" games. He said he had been contacted by man whom he recog- nized as a gambler shortly before the Syracuse game played at the Garden on January TO- He said he ignored the gambler who asked if he wanted to make some money. Levine also recalled an incident in- volving Bill Hickman, head of the l941-42 City College quintet, who used force" on a gambler who ap- preached him.
 New York, Feb. 20 - (UP) Police Commissioner Lewis J. Val- entine of New York and other police officials will be called as witnesses at the open hearing into the col- lege basketball gambling situation when 1t is resumed Friday, Assist ant District Attorney Charles N. Cohen announced today.

ODT Closes 33rd
 Boston Dog Show

Boston, Feb. 21.-(UP) - With nearly 1000 entries on hand from as far away as California, the East ern Dog Clubs 33rd annual show was canceled early today only few hours before it was to have opened for two-day exhibit at Mechanics building,
 The cancellation followed a meet ing of the clubs executive commit- tee which was called into session when notified by the Office of De- ense Transportation in Washington that the show could not be held un- less events and entries were re- stricted strictly to Boston and it's suburbs.
 Even as the committee was meet ing, representatives of the finest breeds in dogdom were being bedded in the hall where the shows tradi- tionally are held.
 Until the ODT order last night, officials of the club had said that the show would go on since it's par ticipants were confined to strictly local area. .,.,t..

RUBBER VS TIME KEY CLASH AT
 YMCA TONIGHT

A "key" game of second round basketball competition in the IRA league at the YMCA is billed for to- night when defending champs and first round winners, U. s. Rubber of Naugatuck come up against U. s. Time, recent winners by a decisive margin over the surprising Scovill entry. A time of 9:l5 has been set for the USR-UST game tonight, which figures to attract near-ca- pacity turnout of fans to see a game that should be interesting and per- haps exciting from opening whistle to closing shot of the contest.
 Lineup
 AS result of Bob McDermotts separation from the team, Coach Henry Cieslewski will probably lean more heavily on the able services of Frankie Edmons as a starting guard with Bill Schell; with Chet Wojack at center, Lefty Farrar Bobby RhoadS, Walter YackoWski and Don Gounod as forwards. Coach George Graham has Jack and Bill Delaney, Stan Grey and Johnny Stollar, and husky "Whitey" Hop kins as starters. Both coaches, Cies- lewSki and Graham, can report as players if the occasion demands, but they will probably "sit it out" tonight in the all-important game.
 With Rubber needing an overtime period to defeat Chase last Sunday without McDermott, the Time team figures to have a real good chance to win, especially if their play com pares with that which defeated Sco- will last week.
 Benrus and Bristol teams of the "B" division meet in an 8 D. III. preliminary game, with dancing available between halves and after the main go.

Washington, Feb -CUP)-The nations bowling alleys will comply with the midnight cur1ew on enter tainment spots, Chairman A. L. Eb- ersole of the National Bowling Council siad today after conferring with government officials.
 EberSole said he requested the conference because there seemed to be doubt whether bowling could be chased as entertainment" in- asmuch as no state requires alleys to pay amusement taxes.

It was removed from the special train along side the shim- mering Hudson just below the hills which sweep up to the es- tate.
 The casket was placed on cais- son driven slowly along between lines of men in uniform standing stiffly alert to honor their late Commander in Chief. Behind the caisson Negro cavalryman led a black horse draped in black and carrying sabre, both symbolic of MT. Roosevelt's position as head of the nations military froces. It was exactly ten am. eastern war time, when the first gun of the Presidential salute was fired from the battery in the library grounds in the east quarter-acre garden. Then boomed solemnly at spaced intervals. The Honor Guard lining the helmolck hedge around the garden stood at attention. A fewI moments later the distant melody of a bugle came to those within the garden while a flight of bomb- CTS and other training planes droned overhead.
