By the Associoted Press

Senators Butler, Republican, of
Nebraska; Willis, Republican, of
Indiana, and Gossett, Democrat,
of Idaho, face strong opposition

one of the trio will 60 down to
defeat for the first prediction cas-
ualty in the Senate this year.
Nebraska and Idaho hold primar-
les Tuesday. Indiana Republicans
meet in State convention Thurs
day. 1ntraparty rivalry in all three
States has been intense.
Senator Butler is being opposed
for denomination by Gov. Dwight
Griswold. The contest has been en-
livened by intervention of Harold
E. Stassen, prospective candidate
for the COP presidential nomina-
ton in 1946, on the side of Mr..
Griswold.
Three in Indiana Race.
The Republican Senatorial con-
test in Indiana is a three way

year-old small-town editor serving
his first term; Representative La
Toilette, whom supporters call
liberal" and William E. Jenner,
former COP State chairman and
short-term Senator in 1914.

paign has been stirred to the boiling
point by charge by the Indiana
polls Star that some Republican
politicians were tied to liquor
interests
Senator Willis and Mr.. Lafollette
both have said they will not run as
independents if Mr.. Jenner wins.
Mr.. Jenner claims to have a ma jor-
ity of the convention delegates.

of some union leaders and Senator
Glen H. Taylor. He and his sup
porters have criticized the method
by which Mr.. Gossett became
Senator. Senator Taylor has occused
Senator Gossett of "hobnobbing with
Republicans"
On the Republican side, Repre-
sentative Dworshak, Burley publish
er, is seeking to advance to the

BY the Associuted Press

MANILA, June 8. Seizure OF
Pantabangan. only 80 miles north
Of Manila, by hundreds of armed
men who looted the town and set
up their own government was re-
ported today by President Roxas.
Mr.. Roxas told press conference

described as Hukbalahaps (peasant
guerrillas) or bandits.
The Mayor and other town off,
cials fled, Mr.. Roxas said, and the
invading force set up its own re-
gime, erecting road blocks against
possible interference from the out

Expert Penn1on at 80 Decided
On Hobby When Postmon at 78
Only Two Years Ago
Did He Get Around
To Attaining Goal

If there's anything mailman
likes, it is good handwriting. So ii
was not illogical that George T.
Campbell, while delivering letters
in the Shenandoah Valley at the
age of 10, made up his mind to do
something about his own PEN
manship.
That was 10 years ago. And only
two years ago did Mr.. Campbell
get around to the matter. Today
he is an expert penman and can
dash off sample for anyone who
doubts the two diplomas he holds
as proof of his ability.
The 8s-year-old Mr.. Campbell,
who lives with his daughter, Helen,
at 1758 Lyman place NE, says
there is hope for all the people
who cannot read their own notes
and those who are embarrassed
when hotel clerks look at their
signatures and call them by another
name.
The secret. naturally, is practice,
and Mr.. Campbell, not satisfied with
being an expert, still practices day
and night, sometime till after mid
night. When he came to Washing
ton a few years ago he spent some
time sharpening lawnmowers and
doing odd jobs. Now he is retired
and spends more time on his hand
writing.
He has no intention of quitting,
but instead is working at perfecting
round hand writing and is learn
ing how to make the bird flourishes
like those found on priced 10Th CEN
tury writing.
I'm not so good yet on the BIRDS"
he says.

Tie National Association of
Broadcasters threw out a new feeler
Yesterday for peace powwow with
James c. Petrillo. president of the
American Federation of Musicians.
Mr.. Petrillo told the ATM con-
vention at st. Petersburg, Fla.
Monday that he would stop radio
network music broadcasts if the
Supreme Court upheld the validity
OF the Lea Act, which imposes heavy
penalties on the use of coercion
against broadcasters.
The NAB said yesterday in
statement that it has taken the
position that neither legislation nor
judicial determination can obviate
or diminish the ultimate necessity
for industry and labor to sit down
together and reach fair agreements
by proper discussion, adjustment
and negotiation"
An NAB official said this meant
that the broadcasters are leaving
the door open to conversations"
Mr.. Petrillo announced last week
that he had deliberately violated
the Lea Act to bring about a court
test of its constitutionality.

 London, May "A = (UP) >- With q sell-out crowd and record British boxing gate assured, Champion Gus Lesnevich and Freddie Mills of England will fight tonight for the world light heavyweight title at Harringay Arena in the first im- portant post-war international bout.
 Lesnevich of Clinsside, N. J., is favored at 6-4 to win the 15-round bout before 1O,5O0 fans, paying ap- proximately 920O, 900. This gross will better the previous British record of $l20,O0O drawn by the George Carpentier-Joe Beckett scrap in 1919. Ticket prices ranged from A.25 to $06.
 - AGGWe 'fClass"
 1esnevich-mufan-faced, tawny haired and slightly taller than his bull-shouldered, black -l1aired op- ponent-is favored to retain the title in his second defense for three major reasons:
 CD Jersey Gus combines boxing skill and punch, whereas Mills merely bores in, throwing punches from all directions and hoping to knock out his opponent or to wear him down; @ Lesnevich is rated sharper" than the British Empire champion, who returned only re- gently from the Royal Air Force and (2) Mills had difficulty in par ing down to the 175-pound limit o1 the light heavyweight or "cruisel weight class, and may have weak ened himself.
 Lesnevich made his first defense of. the title against Tami Mauriellc of New York in November, 1941 after previously winning world rec ognition by beating both Mauriellc GNew York State) and Antor Christoforidis (National Boxing AS Sociation).
 Although Lesnevich is favored Mills has been well supported 1T heavy. betting that passed the mil l.on-dollar mark yesterday.

 Follow him back to Omaha and if you can't get room in his house get one across the street." Rickey told Scout Tom 0reenwade. 'N0 matter what, sign him"
 So, with offers from the Yanks and Detroit in his pocket, young Barney picked the dodgers. That Summer they sent him to Durham but in two months he was up with Montreal, and, before the season ended, young Rex. was up with the Dodgers. He won two and lost two. pitched a Affirming tic with the Giants, and then went into the Army.

 T pitched at least once a week and my arm felt fine," he recalled. T was bigger and stronger and while my fast one seemed as good as ever I had more on my curve, too"
 While awaiting his discharge in Omaha, Barney worked out with i1is old high, school team and would have been ready to pitch when he rejoined the club. However, he Shf- fered sinus attack and had to be hospitalized.
 That's the only thing which made him late getting to Brooklyn. For, af as Barney said when he rested, in the dugout after his workout, "T'm as free as the breeze"

New York, May 14-(UP)-Rex Barney, Q long, loose-jointed kid from Omaha, walked up into the Dodger dugout with Q wide Boy, it's good to be back" grin on his face, straightened his bright new uniform and then went out to the practice rubber to throw a few.
 The ball made a loud boom" as it smacked into the catcher'S nnitt and one of the players looked up from the bench and said:
 That could mean the pennant for uS."
 Just like that, Rex. Barney, a l85-pound, six foot, three inch pitcher, came back to the Buns af- ters three years absence. After that one wide smile as he looked up tn- to the stands the 21-year-old hurler was all business. Bushy black eye brows knitted over green eyes as he concentrated on hitting his target but there wasn't a trace of nervous ness.
 Nervousness Gone
 "Nervous?" Barney said as he juggled the ball and pulled his cap down tighter over his brown hair 'They took all that out of me in Germany"
 Rex doesn't think he'll ever be excited again, even if he should be picked to pitch the opening game of the World Series next fall. T picked up three battle stars ir the Bulge, the Rhine and in south ern Germany" he said. Nothing will ever touch my old armored out fit for excitement mot even Brook lyn."
 If that be heresy, Flatbush, make the most of it. But do it lightly, be- cause this youngster may be the final touch necessary to tack tha' banner up at EbbetS Field again.

 Ansonio Boys
By WIN MALONEY


 Coach J. F. Roland, mentor of the Crosby Track and Field squad, IS highly confident that his Blue and White squad can take Boots Jarvis's Ansonia "Cinder Path' array, in their clash at the Municipal Stadi- um tomorrow afternoon at S:1S. To back up his claims Coach Bo- land has Jimmy Latimer in the sprints, as it was this lad who copped high individual scoring hon. ors in the Sacred Heart track meet, with 20 points, last Friday. In the field the Blue and White mentor can count on Co-Capt. Warren Latimer, Blacker and Bowling to cop the Discus, shotput, javelin and high jump, respectively. Lou Mor- in, a freshman at Crosby, and Coach Boland's only pole-vaulter, is developing rapidly and will soon be one of the best in his line. Morin beat Al Sullivan and Bill .'Warmerdam" Barrett of Sacred Heart, last Friday, by vaulting the bar at eight feet eight inches. Not Too Strong
 The outlook for Ansonia in this meet is not bright although some surprises may be in store for the locals. In their only other meet this season Ansorlia was clipped by | Warren Harding of Bridgeport by a decisive 70 to 30 margin. The l Jarvismen have Pete Goumas, for mer football star and ex-servlce- Fman in their lineup, in the shotput department. Short and diminui- tive 'sWhitey' Alu may take the high jump while the AnsoIlia men, ] tor may have an lace in tha hole 1 in Lou Salce, who will do the 40 |. In all, both teams have 6 definite number of 'unknowns" which might just throw the balance of points one way or the other.
 Ansonia entries are incomplete as yet but those which are known include:
 100 .yards-Huston and Barbieri.
 200 yards Huston and Barbieri. 40 yards-Manley and Salce.
