Shapiro Case Recalls
Varied Attempts 10
Bribe Athletes
by the Asseeiatsd Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-The arrest
Of four men last night on charges
Of attempting to bribe David Sha-
piro, George Washington University
basket ball player, recalled num-
ber of similar cases involving sports
In recent years.
Outstanding OF the gambling cases
involving college basket ball was the
Brooklyn College scandal Of 1945.
Five members of the Brooklyn
team signed a statement they had
received 81 900 to throw a scheduled
game with Akron in Boston and they
said arrangements were under way
to fix another game later.
The game wasn't played. The five
players were expelled from school.
Two men were arrested on gambling
charges.
Last year Charles Mas, Butler
University performer, said he was
offered a $500 bribe to keep down
the score of the Butler-Ohio Uni
versity game. Mas said he hung
up on the caller from New York
and didn't get his name.
Fulks Makes Charge.
Less than a month ago Joe Fulks,
a member Of the Philadelphia team
In the professional Basket Ball AS
sociation of America. accused a
poolroom operator of trying to fix
games.
On December 10 Fulks told a
Philadelphia magistrate that Nor
ris Fleishman offered him money
to throw games. Fleishman was
released on $500 bail after being
arrested on a misdemeanor charge
The gambling scandal reached out
and touched other sports.
Last March Clarence S. Camp
bell, president OF the National
Hockey League, expelled Billy Tay-
lor of the New York Rangers and
suspended Don Gallinger of the
Boston Bruins.
He accused Taylor of knowingly
associating and communicating" with
o known gambler.
Pro football was affected late in
l946 when Frank Filchock and
Merle Hapes. both Of the New York
Giants, were implicated with Alvin
J. Paris.
Entertained lavishly by Paris, the
two players we're offered cash to
fix the Giants-Chicago Bears play
off game for the National League
championship.
The story came out just before
the title game. Filchock and Hapes
were suspended indefinitely by the
league.
Graziano's License Revoked.
Rocky Graziano, former middle
weight ring champion, had his Ii
cense revoked in New York State
for failure to report bribe offer.
The district attorney said Grazi-
ano admitted he had been offered
100000 to lose bout to Reuben
Shank. The fighter, the district
attorney said, never reported the
offer to the Boxing Commission, as
required by law.
Graziano's license never has been
reinstated.
In December. 1947, IS members
of the Hawaiian Warriors, a pro-
fessional football team, were fined
for betting on themselves. -Four
players were suspended for life and
10 others given indefinite suspen-
sions.
Last October four men were in
dicted on bribery-conspiracy charges

tempt to fix a Carolina League base

APPRECIATE LOYALTY

In France, Maurice Thorez, secretarygeneral of the communist party, has said that the French people should welcome the Soviet army if it marched into France.
 In Italy, the communist leader Palmyra Tagatt, re- gently declared that it would be the duty of the Italian people to help the Soviet Union if the Russian army tered Italy in pursuit of an aggressor.
 The declarations of these leaders represent something of challenge to the existing governments of France and Italy. The French government moved quickly by ndicting four Communists a charge of holding di vulging defense secrets and in Italy Premier de Gas peri is carefully considering what action his govern ment will take
 The Communist leaders are carrying out their idea that communism is international The Russians maintain that nationasm is out of date and that loyalty to the communist party alone is the supreme patriotism, whe ter happens to be Hungarian, Bulgarian, French or Russian.
 The gentlemen who make the easy assertion that na- tona royalties outmoded who suggest that such loyalty is absurd do not happen to have the power reform human beings Consequently, may still ex pect that the people of the various countries of the world will retain their loyalty to the lands of their birth and that such nationalism continues to constitute fac tor" which must be reckoned with in connections with all schemes for world regimentation or reform.

ITS YOUR BUSINESS


 Who owns Americas industry? It's easy to say who the hOt-dOg stand down the street the candy store on the corner But you say bg business is diff ferent The chief difference is that most large firms Corporations, which owned by many people rather than just one two persons Maybe the hotdog and the candy store OWner-maybe you these big businesses That's very likely for the peo- pie of America do own them
 Sometimes you'll find fellow who is afraid of that word corporation Mostly that is because he does understand what 1t The modern corporation is built around this idea many people working together sometimes do things in better way than just one do them alone You it takes lot of money for an automobile factory oil refinery. But we have to have them if they do cost millions of dollars to build. Then who'll build them?
 The corporation makes 1t possible for you and for to have share in the enterprise of business Actually business be forward looking and enterprising only if lot of willing to buy in and become share holders in these corporations This risk There is hardly anybody who would want to lay down ten or twenty million dollars for industrial venture. Few have that much money and fewer still would want to risk that much at time.
 But there many of us who would like to invest a little hoping for small return money. This may be done through the corporation It obtains char ter from the State which permits it to seek capital by inviting people to take shares of stock Money thus put up by stockholders used to build factories to gather in machinery and materials and to handle payrolls til earnings in. If managed we'll the company may pay dividends to those who put up their money.
 A modern industrial corporation, then, is simply a group of people who own tools for production There perhaps 500000 corporations in America. Some of them are small. Others equipped and financed by thousands of people for the purpose of doing big jobs we'll. Anyone who buys stocks bonds is direct in- vestor There perhaps 20 million such persons, and they hardly could be called ''bloated capitalists"
 About half of all corporation dividends go to with annual incomes under $10,OOO But whether they be called rich poor those who invest money corpo- rations very important to all of Their invest ments help make jobs and create payrolls Money in- vested in business is not idle money It working daily to get out the production of goods that need This is the way American industry has made possible higher
