D. {. Cage Bribe Case
Awaiting Action by
New York Court

Court action here against three
men awaiting sentence in New
York after pleading guilty of at
tempts to Elk" the George Wash
ington Manhattan basket ball
game will depend on what sentence
is meted out to them in New York
Under indictment here are Jo-
seph Aronowitz, Philip Klein and
Jack Levy on charges of attempt
ing to bribe David Shapiro, G. w.
basket bail captain to fix or
throw" several G. w. games. In
New York yesterday all three
pleaded guilty to bribery and con-
spiracy charges. A fourth man,
William Rivlin. pleaded guilty to
conspiracy charges. He is not
involved in the Washington indict-
ments. Sentencing is set for
March 10 and the men are under
$4,000 bail each.
Whether the three will be
brought here to face trial depends
to a large extent on how stiff the
New York sentences are, according
to John Finely. assistant United
States district attorney here. I'm
der New York law they face fines
Of $4,000 and up to five years
imprisonment.
Fihelly said that under the Fed
eral laws applicable to the District
of Columbia the men could face
fines of $4,000 and five years
imprisonment on each Of three
charges against them. 1T is sitter

vide" he pointed out.
He said that the local United
States District Attorneys office
may be inclined to ask New York
that the men be sent here for trial
Such requests usually are met by
other States. he said. I'm any
event. we will put a detainer on
our indictment here to provide

beat the Baltimoreans, winning
at Loyola last February % with a

Bob Feerick pushed his creaky
old bones away from the banquet
table at the Touchdown Club yes
terday and stood on his tired old
legs-the captain of the Caps and
one of the pro games all-time
greats.
Its very nice" he said, ito be
honored this way at the end of
a career. Id like to see every
player be honored like this when
he is at the end. with all his play
ing days behind him."
There was a note of sadness in
Feerick's voice as he talked about
his old playing days and all the
many friends he had made all
over the country. There were no
violins in the vicinity. but one
with an imaginative ear could
pick up faint strains of Aud

But wait minute. Bob Feerick
is only 20 years of age. He's

Has Eyes on West Coast.
What's the explanation? Feer-
ick either is leaving the Caps
after this season or he is laying
the groundwork for contract talk
with his boss. Mike Uline.
F'eerick admitted after yester-
days dinner that he has his eyes
on a coaching spot on the West
Coast. He wouldn't elaborate
other than to imply the job prac
tically is his for the asking.
But at this time last year Fee

McLennan Odds Drop
After Coa|town Ties
World Record for 1Hs
BY the Assoeioted Press

MIAMI, Fla. Feb. 15.-It looks
today as If Hialeah's McLennan
Cup-in circulation IL years-may
be put away for keeps in Calu-
NETS trophy case after Saturday.
The reason is simple. Calu-
NETS CoaltoWn is entered in the
l ls mile 5000 McLennan.
The Hialeah track price-maker
slashed Coaltown's odds to l to
for the McLennan today after the
Calumet flyer knocked three-fifths
of a second off the track record
and equalled the world record for
the mile and furlong yester-
day.
Coaltown also unofficially bet
tered three world marks for
shorter distances, but they don't
go into the racing record books.
The McLennan Trophy was in
troduced in 1887 by the late
Joseph E. Widener with the pro-
vision it be won three times for

first leg in 1914 with Sun Again

Coaltown's unofficial time of ST
for furlongs was Is of a second
faster than the worlds standard
set by Pan Zaretta in 1915 at
Juarez. Mexico.
He hit the 7 furlongs in 1:204s.
The accepted mark of 1:214s is
held jointly by Honeymoon and
Buzfuz and was established in 1947
at Hollywood Park.

by Is the mark hung up by
Equipoise in 1882 at Arlington
Park around one turn. Coaltown' S
performance was around two turns.
The only mark from yesterday,
however, which will actually go
into the record books is 1:473s for
the 1Is mile.
This was g of a second better
than Hialeah's track record shared
by Brevity and Stagehand and
equal to the world mark set by
Indian Broom in 1895 at Tanforan
and tied by Shannon I'd last Oc-

PASS SOME OF 1T!

The 8lst Congress, which convened Jan. 3, hash passed
a single piece Of major legislation.
It's true that the first part of the session was devoted to
reorganization of the House and Senate. but we think 1t
appropriate to quote part OF an editorial we ran last Nov. II;
There is a strong inclination on the part OF truman sup
porters to count their legislative eggs boiore they We Matched.
MANY of them assume that the new Congress will Jump
at the chance to enact into law the program the President
advocated during his campaign.
In doing so they re making a bad mistake. They
are discountins-or completely forgetting-the forces in
Congress opposed to various portions of the Truman
program.
We're not predicting that Congress will toss the Pres-
dents legislation plans into the ash can. Far from it.
We're merely saying that it would be foolish tor the
voters who put the Democrats in power to ignore the real
ives of legislative procedure-to ignore the ani-civil lib
critics block in c ongress-to ignore the need tor reminding
some Of the lawmakers they have a mandate from the
people.
1T is a reasonably clear mandate and the Democratic
voters should not permit it to become clouded.
And it won't become clouded if the folks back home
keep reminding the men and women who were elected that
the do nothing for the people attitude of the 8Oth Con
eress caused many political heads to roll.
None of our big legislative eggs has been hatched. Some
of them haven't even been put in the incubator.
So. we suggest that the folks back home start telling
their senators and congressman that they want quick pas
Of the Truman Fair Deal measures.

Said Taft Il can see no objection to nominal repeal OF
he present law. so long as the basic principles are preserved
in the new Legislation.
The Senator could have said the same thing more bluntly
if he put it this way: Il don't care il my name comes oil

The No. principle is that the law must be loaded in
favor of employers. That's basic. Yes, sir!
The principle Of government by injunction must be pre-
served in dealing with unions. Absolutely
And. OF course, there must be some provisions which will
enable strikebreakers to vote a union ot OF existence while
members are out pounding the bricks, lighting tor their rights.
Unquestionably!
In al the Senator'S interested, lets make one thing
crystal clear. Labor doesn give a darn what the new law $
called. 1t doesn't care whether Tafts nam is on it or not.
But the unfair basic principles Of Til must go. They

SIDE TELLS STORY

Bic business and many other Of the small special interest
groups have been taking full advantage OF the time that
has elapsed since Congress went into session nearly Z2
months ago. They have really been turning on the heat
in Washington.
If you believed some of the stories their lobbyists are
telling. then the election Of Nov. 2 meant nothing. The
voters didn't vote for a change. Truman didn't really
win. The Republicans weren't really defeated.
Unfortunately they We been able to sell some OF their non
sense, largely because of the silence OF those who put the
Democrats back in control of Congress.
incidentally. some Congressional committee could per
form a valuable public service by investigating the activities
and xpenditures-of the lobbyists. And those who
claim they represent small business shouldn't be skipped
either)
It's time for those who spoke loudest at the polls last
November to begin speaking Alphabetically to the men
and women they sent to Washington to represent them.
It's time for them to tell again-in communications to
senators and conference.-the same story they told at the
polls Nov. 2.
