New Players At
Sports Arena

New faces have appeared ir
the lineups of both the Toledo
Jeeps and the Mercurys as the
two clubs who call the Sports
Arena home bottle for playofi
positions in the National Basket
ball League and international
Hockey League.
Added to the Jeep roster has
been Wyndol Gray, the classy
former Bowling Green Univer-
sity All American performer
who is expected to bolster the
Jeeps' drive to snatch a playoff
spot in the cage battle. Gray
has had considerable profes-
sional experience since leaving
the Bee Gee campus and his
speed and height should spark
more than one Toledo drive on
the hardwood.
The hockey club has added
Len Schneider, a stocky play T.
maker who will perform at cen
ter, and George Harrison,
speedy wingman. Schreiber, who
started his hockey in Winnipeg,
played with the Detroit Good
years last year and rang the
bell for % points in % games.
Harrison, after trial with the
Chicago Blackhawks, has been
doing his playing in the Pacific
Coast League. He is rated a
strong skater and a fast, heady
performer.
Both the Jeeps and Mercurys
have been hit by injuries to no
little degree this season. Play
ing-Coach julie Rivlin and For
ward George Sobek barely got
back into the cage lineup when
when Dale Hamilton, veteran
guard and the steadiest perfor-
mer on the team, went out with
torn knee ligaments. The hockey
team has been missing a quartet
of star operators in Barney
O'Connell, Orville Smith, John
McGrath and Jack Kernahan.
The injuries of McGrath and
Kernahan are minor but skull
fracture sustained by O'ConnellI
will KEEP him out for the season.
while the same applies to Smith
who has required knee opera
ton to correct an aggravated
injury.

Hunting and fishing violations
in Ohio reached an all-time
record-breaking high in 1947 ac-
cording to Lester c. Bailey,
Chief of the Law Enforcement
Section of the Ohio Division of
Conservation. Complete records
for the year show that 1854 per-
sons were arrested by Division
enforcement officers and added
to the Divisions fish and game
conservation and restoration
treasury a total of $44 445.50 in
fines.
The 1947 violation figure sur
passed the previous all-time high
of 2113 in 194l and represents
a considerable increase over 1777
arrests in 1916 with fines total
ling $39,121.90.
The 1854 arrests in 1947 rep
resent a sharper increase over
the previous year with 1777
when it is pointed out that hunt
ing license sales records show
that the total number of hunters
in the field during 1947 dropped
almost 20qo over 1946.

These are the so far real facts
about the murder of the unfortu-
nate Polk, and as to the reasons for
which it was committed Stakto-
poulos says exactly these words;
MY personal opinion is that Polk's
murder was planned by the Comma
form and was carried out by the
Communist Party of Greece Ia ordes
to throw the blame Of the murder
to the right, thus to defame Greece
abroad and to stop the application
Of the Marshall Plan to Greece, by
protest in the United States against
Greece, and also to frustrate the
military aid to Greece. I know
the Greek Community Party, it
cannot do anything, it cannot even
breathe unless it receives orders
from the Cominform."

MIAMI, FId., Oct. 18.-FOtLotD-
ing is the tert of President Tru-
mans address today to the Amer
tcdn Legion conpention:
I am glad to be here today as a
delegate from Missouri, as a COM
rade in arms and as Commander In
Chief Of our armed forces.
We Legionnaires have been meet
ing together for long time. This
makes the 30th year that the Legion
has met to keep strong the ties that
bind together men who fought to-
gether for their country. In those
years the Legion has been serving
our country in peace as we'll as war.
I am happy to see the younger men
OF World War II joining and
Strengthening our organization
which has never failed to be vigilant
for the welfare and security of our
country.
I have looked forward to this
opportunity of counseling with you
as veterans. Among our country
men, you understand best of all the
tragic meaning of war. You learned
the hard way how to hate it. Today
I want to share with you my views
about the things that lie nearest
our hearts-the peace and freedom
Of the world.
Duty to Find Leaders.
AS President of the United States
it has been my duty to find the
men to staff our efforts for security
and peace.
1t has been my duty to initiate
and approve the great proposals
which have advanced both our
security and the recovery of the
free nations of the world.
AS your Chief Executive know
OF the patriotic efforts of men of
both parties to support these pol
icies.
The plain fact remains, however,
that while the President of the
United States can delegate author
ity he has the responsibility, under
the Constitution, for the conduct of
our foreign affairs.
In that capacity I want to stress
something which I am sure every
veteran and every real American
Will approve. So long as am Pres
ident of the United States there
Will be no chip on the shoulder of
America.
Events Cause Deep Concern.
AS I have said before, would
rather see the peace of the world
preserved than be President of the
United States.
In recent months, the trend of
events has caused us deep concern.
The great need today is for action
to strengthen the United Nations in
dealing with the disputes which now
challenge its authority action to
create an improved atmosphere for
all future negotiations looking
toward peace.
Lately, in Europe and even here
in the United States, there has been
loose and irresponsible talk to the
effect that the United States is de-
liberately following a course that
leads to war. That is a wicked
falsehood.
We have taken, and will continue
to take, firm position where our
rights are threatened. But our firm
ness should not be mistaken for a |
warlike spirit. The world has
learned that it is weakness and ap-
peasement which invite aggression.
A firm position on reasonable
grounds offers the best hope of

|munist Party Of Greece since le4l
and was employed as q reporter for
the newspaper Laiki Phoni, a Com
munist, Party organ for the district
Of Macedonia and Thrace.
In October, 1946, he fictitiously
withdrew from the Communist
Party at the designation of the
party. The party officially and i'm
pressively crossed out his name
from the party rolls for the pur-
pose of protecting him against pos
sible police persecution because the
party went into illegal activities
after that time.
On Tuesday, May 4, Staktopoulos
was informed by telephone at his
office to 60 at midday next day to
a certain cafe located near Kalkeon
street, to meet an individual under
the name of 'Nikos," who an
nounced to him Folks arrival from
Athens within that week and who
fixed an appointment with him for
the night of the next day at a
determined place in town. On that
night "Nikos" told him that Polk
was arriving next day, May Z, 1948,
that Staktopoulos should meet him
in order to give him fresh instruc-
tions.
Polk arrived Friday, May, Z, and
stayed at the Astoria Hotel, where
on that very same day In the after
noon he had a visit from Staktop-
oulos. Polk made an appointment
to meet Staktapoulos again at
1900 q PM at the Hotel Mediter-
ranean, and shortly after Staktop-
oulos departed and rushed to inform
Nikos about Folks arrival and his
contact with him.
Embarked in Rowboat.
Nikos informed Staktopoulos to
bring Polk into contact with Evan
gelos Vasvanas at 0l0O q a.m.) at
the corner of Metropoleos and Saint
Sofia streets.
This meeting materialized and, at
the designation of Vasvaras, Stalk
topoulos announced to Polk that
the departure had been arranged
for the night of the next day and
that the place Of departure and the
means to travel would be commu-
n:cated to Polk by Staktopoulos.
Next day, Saturday, May 8, Stalk
topoulos informed Polk to be at a
certain location outside the center
Of the city, wherefrom he would
depart by sea.
Staktopoulos arrived first at the
appointed place at 2O30 $3.50 PM
and half an hour later Polk arrived,
carrying soft package in his hands,
presumably pajamas, in view of the
fact that these were missing from
his room.
After they had their dinner, Polk
having eaten lobster, Staktopoulos
informed Polk that they would en-
bark in rowboat, which in the
meantime came alongside, their
destination the small Cape Kara
bournaki.
Polk followed by Staktopoulos, got
into the rowboat at 22::30 10:30
p.m0. Staktopoulos, seeing the
boatman, recognized Adam Mouze-
hides, an old acquaintance of his
from the newspaper Laiki Phoni and

vestigated in all directions to en-
tighten the crime, examining all pos
sibilities. Every step of the two
days sojourn of Polk in Salonika
was examined, his known contacts
and his trips. However. no positive
and enlightening information re-
suited.
Three .months elapsed, during
which the employees of the Astoria
Hotel were repeatedly invited to
interrogation, as was News Reporter
Gregory Staktopoulos.
Searches were made in the houses
of all the above mentioned. A spec
linen of the handwriting of Stakto-
poulos' mother was found to be the
same as handwriting from the first
envelope by which Folks identity
card was sent to the third police
station. The above was officially
confirmed by the official graopholog-
ical experts report made in Athens
by Ptofs. Aristides Pouratza and
Socrates Kouyea.
This disclosure became the basis
of further inquiry and investigations
and became the starting point of the
enlightenment of the case. Anna,
widow Of Ioannou Staktopou1os,
mother of the journalist, was ex-
amined and she testified that the
inscription on the envelope ad-
dressed to the third police station
was written by her upon ORDERS
from her son, Gregory. Another
expert report certified that the ink
on the envelope was the same as
that found in Staktopoulos house
The inquiry showed there was no
doubt that Staktopoulos had par
ticiRated in the crime,
Ink Also Checked.
When it was told to Staktopoulos
that, according to experts reports,
the handwriting on the envelope
was his mothers and that the ink
on the envelope was found in his
house, he finally confirmed this and
proceeded to serious revelations be-
fore the examining magistrate
which led to the following picture
Of the odiouS crime.
According to his own testimony,
he has been member of the Com
