23 doubles, 16 triples, and six
home runs.
Those who have seen him in
action maintain that Cal really

feet. The fans there still talk about
the drive.
SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY is
still beefing over Mel Seeman's
transfer to N.Y.U. The high class
frosh, much sought after, has
caused bad feeling between the
two schools.
Arnold Burdick, Syracuse pub
licist, blames Adolph Schayes for
Turing Seeman away from upstate.
Schayes, a former N.Y.U. star,
performs for the Syracuse five in
the National League. He used to
visit the school gym often to watch
Seeman until the authorities there
finally tossed Adolph out of the
gym and asked him to stay away
from practices of the frosh.
In the meantime Seeman, like
able but moody boy, can't make
up his mind. Evidently he still isn't
satisfied and talks of another

CINCINNATI, 0. -(CNS)-
The moment we stepped on Gin

going te Walnut Hills.
The cabbie turned out to be

heavyweight champ, Ezzard
Charles, SO he had to point out
Lincoln Park Drive, few
blocks from the station, and his
convertible Cadillac, which GER
taiHly seems the style these
days, out front.
We rode through a downtown
section strongly resembling New
York's busy corner" and then
hit short highway. Soon we
were gliding down Gilbert Ave
. nue. and making a right turn at
Chapel St. This was Hotel
Man8e, Cincinnati's largest Ne
gro owned with its huge sun
porch and annex under CON
struction.
So this was Walnut Hills, the
section Of town where Negroes
were buying homes and retiring
comfortably. Did we say retire?

In downtown Cincinnati, by

his a page newspaper which was
begun to fight back at politics.
Dabny, too, has home in Wall

The most interesting people
we found were youthful Ernie

Of course, the beauty spot OF
Cincinnati is the Water Falls in

and no Park Avenue either. But,
as we left the city, enroute to

Perhaps the new fashion de-

Just stick to the cut of dress
that is good for your figure. If
the style is slender, don't try to
slenderize your body by a too
tight corset. because the fat will
surely spill over top or bottoms
but, select a broader waist line
to suit yourself In fact, what
ever the style be, disregard It,

Detroit Police Hunting
Definite Suspect in
Reuther Shooting
By the Assoeiotsd Press

DETROIT, Aug.t 27.-Police
Commissioner Harry S. Toy dis
closed today Detroit police had a
good description of a definite
suspect" being sought in the Vic
tor Reuther. shooting
Mr.. Reuther, CIO United Auto
mobile Workers educational di-
rector, was shot and seriously
wounded May "a as he sat in the
living room of his home here.
He lost his right eye.
Mr.. Toy said police are hunt
ing a man seen by neighbors near
the UAW officials home two
nights before and on the night
of the attempted assassination.
Brother Attacked Previously.
Mr.. Toy made the disclosure in
commenting on a report quoting
Mr.. Reuther as saying police have
been lax in hunting his own as
Isailant and the man who shot and
seriously wounded his brother,
Walter, year and a half ago.
Walter, UAW president. was Grip
piled by shotgun blast under
ISimilar circumstances.
The UAW, however. issued a
statement yesterday denying that
Victor Reuther had said police
had been lax in investigating his
shooting. Mr.. Reutf1er was quoted
by the New York Post as saying
police had given the brushoff to
an important witness.
Mr.. Toy declared there has
been no laxity on the part Of
police in an attempt to solve the
Reuther shootings.
The man sought by police, he
said, was seen riding slowly past
the Victor Reuther home in a car
driven by another man. More
than one neighbor got a good
look at him but none saw the
driver.
Description Called Good.
"The description was so good
that we will have no trouble
identifying the sman when we lay
our eyes on him" Mr.. Toy said.
The police commissioner said he
has several teams of detectives
travelling around the country at
tending labor union and COM
munist meetings in hope Of find
ing the man. The mans descrip-
tion does not fit any of the photo
graphs in the police criminal
records.
We've known about this man
since shortly after the Victor
Reuther shooting" Mr.. Toy said.
We've kept it secret until now,
but Victor's statement about
police laxity forced my hand.
II had to reveal the search for
this suppect to prevent Victor's
charges from hurting the morale

BY the Assoeioted Press


NEW YORK. Aug. 27.-Paul G.

Western European nations to get
busy and earn every dollar they
could so that they would be in
better position when Marshall

Back from 16-day visit to Mar

he went to Europe Ito hammer
home to them the necessity for
them to earn dollars and empha-

they got busy"

Mr.. Hoffman told newsmer that
with the help of the Marshall

That is the encouraging fact
which I found during my trip to

He visited France, Italy, Greece.

Looking very realistically at the
progress which thus far has been
made, I am convinced that Eu-
