Police Due oComp|ete
Probe Of Cab Drivers
Beating in a Few Days

The Police Departments inveS-
tigation of the facts behind the
mysterious beating of cab driver
at Thomas Circle January IA will
be completed within a few days
Inspector Robert S. Bryant, chief
of detectives, said today.
Focal point of the investigation
is whether the beating was inf1ic-
ted by two out-of-town hoodlums
or by two members of the vice
squad.
Police Supt. Robert j Barrett

two plainclothesmen were involved
prompted the reassignment of De-
tective Sergeant James Roche and
Pvt. Angelo Bonaccorsy, both OF
whom were attached to the vice
squad.

The injured cab driver. James
Rowell, said he thought his asail-
ants were from out of the city and
were not policemen.
Inspector Bryant, it was learned
was to get a statement today from
two second precinct policemen
who were in the vicinity OF
Thomas Circle at the time.
The two uniformed men, Pvt.
M. w. McClanahan and Pvt. D. F.
Reid, reportedly stated that they
heard commotion while they
were north of Thomas Circle and
ran across the circle to the scene.
When they reached the other
side of the circle. they are reported
to have told their superiors, a
car with three men in it. had dis
appeared and nobody seemed to
know anything about it."

said, and approached the two mer

the ground. He said the police
men then turned and walked
slowly away. He said he ther
saw the two men lift the faller
man and put him in a car which
drove away.

he was beaten up he was put In

PHS Wins and Shamroeks, Independents Each Lose Game In Weeks Court Action

The jaunty juveniles of Palmer High School were fattening their win percentages last week, while both the Palmer Independents the Palmr Shamrocks were be- ing pushed around by opponents in early week court games. The PHS squad now remains the only Valley team without a loss to blacken it's early season record.
 The high school had an easy time with a five from Army's Joint Commissary Center on Sat urday, winning by a score of 52 to 28. The Army men, previous ly undefeated in six starts, weren't able break through for single field goal during the en- tire first half. They counted just three times from the free throw line in that half.
 Spectators saw excellent bas- ketball on the part of the PHS five during that opening half on Saturday. The game grew some what slipshod in the third and fourth quarters, but the school boys continued to pile up points, even with a poorer brand of basketball. George Pederson led scoring with Is points, and Edi- son Thuma followed with 12 Seven tallies from Army's Berg was the best record the Commis- sary men could show at games end.
 Palmer's Jay-Vees measured Wasilla by 28 to 21 in the pre- liminary.
 Palmer's Independents register ed their first loss of the season last week, when Hq. Go. of the 57th Fighter Wing slipped past

them for a 44-4O win. The Army men led by a point or two for almost the entire game. The tussle was slow-paced with both teams patently off their best game. Slaughter, playing right guard for the Army, tied the h. dependents Lee Young for point honors, each man gathering 19 points.
 While the Independents were losing on the Palmer home floor, the Palmer Shamrocks were opening play in the Anchorage City League with heart-break- ing 53-52 loss to an Alaska Rail- road five. The two teams battled on almost even terms for the first half, but the Shamrocks weak ened in the third quarter to al- low the Railroad a 6 point lead going into the final period.
 The Shamrocks surged back in the fourth quarter, with Bud Billot's six points adding the steam behind their push. They battled furiously, pulling even in the final minutes, only to lose by the margin of a free throw. Spec tators classed this game, and the second City League scrap which followed it, as two of the finest" ball games to be seen on Anchor age courts.
 Ray DePriest, tall Shamrock center, was handyman in that league opener, counting for g points in all. Vern McNeven of the Railroad, an Anchorage High School court star of the past year, led his teams scoring with 16 points.

Thomas Asks For .Disarmament:
 Not Arms Aid

WASHINGTON, (P - Socialist Norman Thomas urged Congress today to take the lead in one more attempt at world disarmament be- fore voting to send military sup plies to Europe.
 Thomas testified before the combined Senate foreign relations and armed services committees as the House prepared to open de- bate on the administration S1 ,45O,- 000,000 foreign arms bill.
 House leaders said they are con- fident the measure will be ap- proved, possibly by Friday, with out substantial change in it's terms.
 Thomas, many times candi- date for President, told the Sena- tors he thinks any arms shipments under the bill should be delayed until a coordinated defense of the North Atlantic community is worked out.
 Such concerted agreement for defense would have practical and moral backing now lacking, if, preceding any further expendi- lures in the ghastly arms race, an effort were made by the United States or by the nations in the At lantic Pact through the United Nations to bring about universal disarmament under effective in-

To Try Strategy
 On Statehood Bills

WASHINGTON, (P) - Last = ditch strategy which would seek to bring action on the Alaska and Hawaii Statehood bills was being considered yesterday.
 Postponement of House recess until Aug. 25 gave, advocates of Statehood for the two areas an op- portunity to try Monday to get ac- tion on the enabling measures.
 Rep. J. Hardin Peterson O. FlaO said he would ask approval of his plan by the House public lands committee when it meets to- day. The committee recommended earlier that the House pass the Statehood bills.
 T think the advice of the com mittee will be to attempt to call up the bills by direct resolutions by-passing the rules committee"
 He said next Monday probably will be the last day this may be done and if it fails then, further action is improbable before Jan uary.
