.RocerOwed Gamblers
 LOioRdFe Failed
 To Bot on Horse

Woonsocket, R. l., April 25.-(UP) The disclosure that John F. (Big Jack) Letendre reputedly owed Q group of gamblers between S3O0,0 900 and S35O,000 which he desperately was trying to borrow gave added support today to the theory that he was slain by hired killers.
 Investigators, working ct the Mar ragansett Park Horse Race Track where Letendre was stockholder and director, were told that the big French Canadian was at the track on opening day Saturday to bet e35, 900 on a single race. The money, 1t was said, was furnished by his gambling friends to wager on a certain horse.
 According to the story un- covered by investigators, Letendre hesitated to place that money on the specified horse because a "favorite" in the race looked like certain winner. However, the faVorite ran out, the horse on which he was told to place the money came in and Letendre, was faced witheh problem of raising about e30O,OO0 which would have been the winnings had he bet the 43b, GOO.
 It was said that he sought des- peTately to raise this sum and was warned that unless 1t were forth coming immediately his life hung in the balance. Apparently he failed to furnish the sum since he was slain by a gunman while driv- ing home from his Hotel Blackstone early Tuesday.
 Sole clues uncovere to date in- cluded a king of spades playing card found in the slain mans sta- ton wagon, .38 caliber stub that was fired from the gunman's pistol and some fingerprints on the side of Letendre's station wagon that may be those of the slayer.
 Letendre may have had a pre- monition that death was close at hand. On Monday, few hours be- fore he was slain, Letendre attempt ed to draw up his will but his at- torney was in New York and he was forced to abandon his plans.
 His son-in-law who disclosed the plans to draw the will said that SC far as he knew there was no will disposing of the estate that may total $500 900 or more.
 Only a short time ago, police said, Letendre was threatened by four men who planned to take him for a ride" But Letendre man. aged to talk his way free of the group 1t was said.

was what the verdict was going to be-" Durocl1er, known to the trade as the "The Lip" said.
 Durocher had maintained that while he ordered Moore to bring Christian to him under the stands, he only gave the complainant Q tongue flashing in his best umpire batting style, but did not use his fists.
 The jury retired after Judge Goldstein told them they could bring in one of three verdicts:
 1--Guilty of assault in the second degree.
 2-Guilty of assault in the third degree.
 3-Innocert.

 The flour order amendment was prepared several days ago while of. flcials still were studying the order itself. Even then, some officials feared that bakers would take ad- vantage of the lack of regulation and make the entire cut in bread

 It finally was decided to withhold the amendment, however, and let the bakers work out their own ways of absorbing the cut. Officials did not believe the bakers would dare to cut bread production diSpropor- tionately and take 6 chance on rousing public anger,
 The Government already has been informed that at least two Balti- more bakers plan to cut bread pro- duction to concentrate on pastries. There also was reason to believe the same thing was happening in some other cities.
