Gambler Slain By. y.Cangsters

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (P)- Gangland bullets late Friday night snuffed out the life of Benjamin Bugsie) Siegel, 41 year old gam bier and one-time public enemy, as he sat quietly in a home here reading a newspaper.
 Police Capt. William w. White said an unidentified gunman sneaked up to an open window shortly after Siegel and a party of friends returned from dining at an ocean park beach, and fired through the curtains.
 At least four shots entered the body of Siegel as he sat reading the paper on a divan. Beside him sat one of the guests, Allen Smiley well known sporting world figure here.
 "I heard the glass scattering and I ducked," Captain White quoted Smiley. "I don't know how many shots were fired, but when I looked at Siegel, I could see he had taken most of them"
 Siegel who, White said, had been active in the sporting world in this area for about ten years, once was designated public en- emy" by Governor Thomas E.. Dewey of New York while the lat- ter was district attorney there.
 The slain man was witness before a New York grand jury that investigated former public enemy No. 1, Louis Uepke) Buc- halter, racketeer and erstwhile head of New York's Murder, Inc, who later was electrocuted at Sing Sing prison.

Brownen Registers As Lobbyist .t

O(Pp Special Washington Service)
 WASHINGTON, (P,-Don Car los Brownell, a member of the Alaskan Senate. said Saturday he had registered as Congressional lobbyist because of his activities here to try to save the town of Seward from extinction.
 Brownell told a reporter that friends said he should register un- der the lobbyist act since he has been here 63 days trying to influ- ence Congress to pass legislation which he says is needed to keep Seward from being left without land transportation to the remain der of Alaska.
 The Alaska Railroad which for merly had its terminus at Seward and which led to the establishment of the town of l,700 persons, plans to abandon it's line south of Cook Inlet and has established a ter minus on the Inlet. This would leave Seward without ground transportation.
 Plans for an $11,O00,0OO road from Seward to connect with the Alaska highway system now are before the budget bureau and Brownell said he expected the bureau would ask Congress short ly to approve the expenditure.
 The Senate appropriations com mittee in approving the interior d ep rtment appropriation bill wrote into it's report a clause re- quiring the Alaska railorad to continue to serve Seward for two years, or until the road is com pleted.
 Brownell, former mayor of Sew ard, said he was told he must give an itemized account of all of his expenses while here and who pays them and his salary. He said the last question is easy, for it is ex- actly nothing.

Two More Bills Up For Truman. Veto.

WASHINGTON tP)-Two more controversial bills, for which op- ponents have urged Presidential vetoes reached the White House Saturday.
 The measures, dealing wi h tariffs and price support for wool and extending rent controls, were passed after stormy Congressional debate.
 The wool piii authorizes the President to increase wool tariffs or impose import limits whenever foreign wool shipments endanger the domestic price support pro- gram for wool. The bill extends the support rrogram through 1948.
 The second measure extends federal rent control until March 1, 1948. and permit an increase in rents as much as Is per cent if landlords and tenants agree on a lease running through next year.
 Rent bill proponents believe the President will sign the measure, though perhaps reluctantly, be- cause otherwise there will be no federal controls after July when the present law expires.
 The White House said the Pres ident has until midnight, July 2, to act on both bills.

Urge Changes In Timber Sales

KETCHIKAN, (P Territorial Senator Frank Peratrovich of Kla- wock and Fred Grat of Hydaburg, were enroute to Washington, D. C. by plane Saturday to urge changes in a proposed bill permitting the sale of Tongass National Forest timber to paper manufacturers.
 Both will testify before House and Senate public lands commit tees.
 Peratrovich said before his de- parture the measure should con- tain a clause listing the exact amount to be paid Indians from timber revenues under so-called aboriginal rights" provisions.
 He added that Indians in the Territory strongly favor the de- velopment of new industries since they will provide fuller employ ment among the native population. hibitions. After yesterday he was merely ready to leave. .. Fashion note: three golfers in the PGA tournament wore knickers.

|FauIiIess Looks Best
or 3-Year-0 Old Group,
Despite Derby Loss
BY Sid FEEDER
A,soe;cted Press Sports Writer

BALTIMORE, Md, May 12.-The
--latest of the Calumet conets-tall
lashy Faultless-stands out today
as the 3-year-old to beat to pick up
lthe marbles, and the folks are won
dering if he might not be aiming at
a Triple Crown sweep. but for the
Derby goo at Louisville.
Now this isn't taking thing away
from Jet Pilot and his Jet job on
Churchill Downs slippery stepping
on Derby Day. He showed up, ran
a mile and a quarter around the
track the quickest and they put his
number up. And that's as much as
any galloper is asked to do.
Nor is it handing the Belmont
Hundred Grand, still three weeks
away, to Faultless on a platter, even
though On Trust, who was second
to him in the Preakness Saturday.
is heading home to California and
will miss the third Jewel jaunt.
PhaIanx Seen Lord b. of 1947.
Phalanx, who has been the "big
horse" all spring, still will be the
threat there, even though he is be-
ginning to look the Lord Boswell of
1947. Lord B., you remember, was
the fellow who kept putting on those
grandstand finishes in all the big
heats last year-and always wound
up with too little, too late. This
season the gentleman from Virginia
has been doing the same-from 18th
to second in the Derby, tenth to
third in the Preakness-rushing like
the wind, to lose.
But Faultless admitted to one and
all before the Derby that when it
came to mud or any kind of Off
footing, he might just as well be
running through tank-full of Ken
lucky burgoo, made especially thick.
Yet, he was beaten only two heads
by the Pilot and Phalanx for the
whole pot in Col. Matt Winn's Derby.
Last Saturday, the track was just
what the doctor ordered, fast and
hard. although it was somewhat
dead" from early-week rains.
FauItleses May Miss Belmont.
And Faultless showed what he
meant by roaring past the wearying
Pilot and the game-but not good
enough-On Trust in the last quar-
ter to smash home length in front.
On Trust held on for second as
Phalanx put on his usual show to
beat out the Pilot for third money.
If the track had been less on the
chocolate pudding side and more on
the crisp toast side down there in
the blue grass for the Derby, there's
no telling whether the colt the Jones
boys-Ben and Jimmy-sharpened
up like a razor might not be out to
duplicate the job his old stablemate
-Whirlaway-did half dozen
years ago in the three big spring
heats. ~
OF course, he still has to show up
for the Belmont May 81 and the
Jones boys, who are not exactly
palsy -walsy with New York racing
and some of its bosses, haven't yet
made up their minds whether they'll
even send Faultless up for it.
