As They Crowd Yanks

Once again the American
League race is a traffic jam Of
Sunday drivers with everybody

the speeding Yanks, Red Sox and

Probably the top thrill of a busy
day was Bob Gains remarkable
relief job for Detroit at Yankee
Stadium. The curve -balling
Isouthpaw saved Hal Whites shut
out-and first win-with a bril-
liant performance.
Here's the picture: Detroit led
20 in the seventh. The Yanks
had three men on, nobody out
and the count was two balls-no
strikes on Pinch-hitter Johnny
Hopp. Then Cain replaced White.
Gains first pitch was a ball. He

Former New York Mayor Will

The Manchester Union said the

million figure used by Mr.. O'Dwyer
was true"

Senator Tobey, a member of the

made by Mr.. ODwyer.
He said: Il should put an aSter-
tsk after that statement In
portant if true"
Several New Hampshire law en-
forcerS also denied Mr.. O'Dwyer's s
charges.

brought shots from both parties.

The Ambassador said his may
orally campaign helper was Irv-
ing Sherman, a missing witness
sought by the committee for the
last six weeks. Mr.. O'Dwyer
added that he knew Sherman was
"a pal of both Costello and Joe
Adonis, another reputedly big un-
derworld figure.
However, Mr.. O'Dwyer insisted
his relations with Sherman left
him completely independent of
Costello.
Sherman May Testify.
The first indication that Sher-
man might have been found was a
statement late last night by Sena-
tor O'Conor, who said Sherman
might testify today. The rest of
the committee refused further
comment.

friendly terms with Tammany
bosses right up to the present.
These include Hugo Rogers, who
succeeded Mr.. Kennedy, and Car
mine G. DeSapio, the present
leader, Costello declared.

suade politicians?"

once claimed he couldn't even

Picket Was Killed.
A New Jersey union official then
told of armed goonS hired to break
up a Phelps Dodge Co. strike al
Elizabeth. N. j.. in 1916. The wit
ness was Theodore Narushef OF

of Local AL of the United Elec-

In one of the clashes, Mr.. Naru-
shef said. a strike breaker shot
and killed a picket. He said the
Staying was reported to Union
County IN. j. authorities, but as
far as he knew. no one was ever
prosecuted.
He said the goons were led by
Anthony Anastasia, a brother OF
the notorious Albert.
Anthony AnaStaSia himself took
the witness stand. In heavy &C
cent, he said he met the Phelps
Dodge pickets and talked to lead
ers and try to settle strike"
What were you, a Good Sa-
maritan?" asked Senator Ke-
fauver.
NO" answered the witness.
O'COnor to Ask Check.
Later. Senator O'Conor, who
was acting chairman at the night
session. said he plans to ask i'm.
migration officials to check the
, naturalization papers of both
Anastasia brothers to see whether
they are faulty" The Senator
, told Anthony he was "flt subject
| for deportation" if he failed to
mention in the application that he
irst enered the United States

Anthony had testified that he
entered by jumping ship, and said
he believed he put that statement
on the naturalization papers.
/ Costello, who faces both a Sen
ate contempt citation and perjury
charges, maintained his previous
testimony when he returned to
the stand yesterday.
This testimony, under eXamina-
ton by the United States attor-
ney, concerns Costellos denial that
he ever paid any one to check his
telephone for a wire tap. A wit
. ness last week swore Costello paid
him to perform just such a serv-
ice.
Turn to Politics.
The senators then turned to
Manhattan politics and Tam

Costello the admission that he
kept contact in Tammany
through at least three member
district leaders.
