The orders came from acting
Mayor Vincent r. Impellitteri, who
said he had alarming reports"
that strong-arm methods were be-
ing planned to intimidate voters
In the red-hot city campaign.
There must not be another
Scottoriggio case while I am
Mayor" he told his new police
commissioner. Thomas F. Murphy.
Thousands Might Be Caught.
Mayor Impellitteri referred to
the unsolved murder of Joseph

day In 1916.
Mr.. Murphy issued his own or
ders Immediately last night to the

Mr.. Murphy said the hunt

much larger uniformed force.
Mayor Impellitteri insisted that
the November 7 election be "ter-
ror free" He refused, however,
to elaborate on what he called his

Candidates Call Names.
His orders came after the latest
outburst in an already bitter cam

Il say he is nothing more than
a respectable front for the lowest,
vilest elements this town ever
saw" Mayor Impellitteri said in
radio talk. He added, however,
that he was not attacking Justice
Pecora's personal integrity.
Justice Pecora denied the
charges and challenged Mayor
Impellitteri to meet him in a
public debate on the accusations
at Times Square.
Republican Makes Charges.
Even as the police hunt went
on, Edward Corsi. Republican can
didate for Mayor, promised to
rock the town" if his rivals
don't tell the whole truth" about
each other.
In a statement issued early to-
day, Mr.. Corsi said:
Il hope that Impellitteri and
Pecora will now tell the whole
truth about one another and
about the part played by the un-

Of Tammany Hall.
IF they don't do it now, I will
give it in detail in a few days
in a way that will rock this town.
"1mpellitteri and Pecora are
proving every accusation that I
have made in this campaign
against each of them. I have
said they are making this fight
for the control of Tammany Hall
more than for any other pur-
pose, and we are proving it to

KEGS have to be stronger than

You appreciate that fact when
you see Joe go a country mile

day of the season. There were
three on bases and two out when
Matt Bats smashed a line drive

to clean the bases. But this drive
became nothing but the final out
Of the inning when Joe extended
his glove. stopped the ball with
his finger tips and then finally
grabbed it securely after 1t had
seemed to bounce away.
But there are other reasons for
this feeling. The Yanks have
added a young infielder named
Billy Martin. This kid looks like
a natural ball player. He's the
type of youngster who seems to
rise to the occasion. It's my
opinion that he will see a lot of

When he entered the Army he

hands and Jack Fournier, a scout,
heard of him.
HE offered me some money for

Browns as soon as I got out of the
Army" Lehner said, so I grabbed
the dough-"
One of Paul's four years in the
service was spent at Guam, where
he met Ferris Fain, AS first base
man, and a Red Cross worker
who in civilian life worked in
the Browns front Office.
There's a fellow out here who
plays in his bare feet" the Red
Cross worker wrote Charley De-
Witt, one of the Browns owners.
