OPS on Sept. l.,
Aides Report
Rx The As,aeinte,d pr...

Price Stabilizer Ellis Arnall was
reported today as likely to turn
in his resignation to President
Truman tomorrow.
Mr.. Arnall was not Immediately
available for comment. Only last
week he told a reporter that his
departure was not imminent but
that he planned to leave before
long.
A source familiar with the plans
of the former Georgia Governor
said that he hopes to get back to
his home State September to
resume his private law practice
and other business duties. The
resignation would be offered to
take effect September !. it was
said.
MIR. Arnall has headed OPS since
last February when Michael v.
Disable quit to seek a United States
Senate seat in Ohio.
Mr.. Arnall has differed sharply
with other Stabilization officials on
the question Of how big a steel
price increase should have been
granted. He bitterly opposed the
increase Of $500 per ton approved
by Acting Defense Mobilizer John
r. Steelman. The price chief said
the ceiling hike should have been
held to $2.84 as provided under
existing price standards.

CHICAGO, Aug. Theodore
Roe, wealthy Negro gambling
boss, was killed from ambush last
might by assassins who blasted him
with shotgun slugs when he
stepped from his South Side
apartment.
Roe, So. a reputed millionaire
and last of the old guard to resist
Syndicate control over the lucra-
tive South Side policy wheel
racket, was hit from fairly close
range twice in the chest and once
in the neck.
He died soon after arrival at q
hospital.
Police found four spent shotgun
cases on the ground behind q
|signboard south of Roe's apart
ment building. Joseph Turner
As. an attendant at a nearby I'LL
ing station. said he saw three
white men in a car parked behind
the signboard about 20 minutes
before the shots were fred.
Wife Hears Shots.
Roe's wife Mary told police Roe
had just left their apartment
when she heard five shots. She
ran to the window and called to
him. She telephoned police when
he failed to answer.
Police found spent shotgun pei
lets in Roe's car, in q car parked
ahead and in nearby trees. The
shots shattered two apartment
windows.
Kidnapings and threats were
enough to drive other leaders from
the multi-million dollar policy
racket when the syndicate started
moving in, but Roe stayed on.
On June Is, 1851, Roe shot and
killed Leonard Cat Lenny) Cal
fano, q West Side hoodlum. A
murder charge against him was
dropped when he contended he
shot in self-defense when Caifano
and three companions tried to kid

The District cab driver who
claimed diplomatic immunity as
chauffeur for the Saudi Arabian
Embassy today lost both his driv-
|er's permit and hackers license.
The cabbie is Walter c. Hook,
jr., of Route 6. Alexandria. Police
reported he claimed diplomatic
immunity twice last week, once
after being stopped for speeding
in the District and a second time
on a speeding arrest in Prince
Georges County.
In a companion action to the
revocation. Commissioner F. Jo-
Seph Donohue told Traffic Director
George Keneipp to check his files
to see if any other chauffeurs
claiming diplomatic immunity also
hold hackers licenses.
The Commissioner said that If
any were found he would be in
favor of revoking their hackers
licenses. Corporation Counsel
Vernon E. West told the Commits
sioners at their board meeting,
however. that there was some
question whether the Commission
ers could revoke the hackers Ii
censes merely because drivers
claimed immunity.
Could Refuse Renewal.
Mr.. West said the Commis-
sioners could refuse to approve
the licenses but once they were
issued, it was doubtful whether
they could be taken away. He
is looking into it.
The moves against Mr.. Hook
came in separate actions by the
Commissioners and the Board of
Revocation and Restoration. The
board, which had restored Mr..
Hooks drivers permit July after
it was revoked in an accident
case, took it away again.
The Commissioners, acting on
Mr.. Donohue'S suggestion at a
board meeting, revoked the
hackers license.
Meanwhile the police traffic di-
vision had been drawing up a re-
port recommending cancellation
of his hackers license. Traffic Of
ficials said the completed report,
reviewing Mr.. Hooks alleged
speeding last week, would be sent
to the State Department and
Police Chief Robert V. Murray.
Arrested After 9O-m.p.h. Chase.
The Hook case gained sudden
prominence when Prince Georges
police arrested MIR. Hook last
Thursday after q chase that re-
portedly reached 80 miles an hour.
Mr.. Hook was driving an embassy
car and claimed diplomatic i'm
munity. Instead of letting him go
at once, county police insisted he
post bond and a hearing date was
set. The State Department, how
ever. has confirmed MIR. Hooks
claim Of immunity.
District traffic officials revealed
today that Mr.. Hook was stopped
