Neo- Nazi Party Activities
By the Associoted Press

KARLSRUHE, Germany. July
16.-The West German constitu-
tional court has banned all public
rallies, conventions, newspapers
and other publications of the Neo-
Nazi Socialist Reich Party.

to outlaw the party as unconsti-
tutional.
The presiding judge. DR.. Her
mann Hoepker-Aschoff, said the

ganda activities by the SRP to
maintain public order. 1t accused
the party of having attempted
during the first 10 days of the
hearing to influence the public
and the judges by meetings and to
stir up unrest among the people.

Cars Get Tune-up
And Adjustments
For Bio Event
By Meredith S. BueI

The National Guard Armory
Bparkled last night with gaily
colored coasters covered with
everything from tin to tarpaulin.
It was the first night of Soap
Box Derby pre-race inspection.
And each boys face radiated with
happiness as officials stamped his
car ready to roll on Saturday.
Derby Day.
But there were tense moments
beforehand. Derby pilots watched
silently as their products of
months Of hard work went
through rigid inspection tests.
Anxious families and friends gath
cred around the scales when boy
and racer weighed in. The total
weight of both could not exceed
go pounds.
An error in the scales was
caught by Dewey LaRochelle, 13,
son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Eugene La
Rochelle Of 1887 Valley place Sc.
He and his car totaled 244I
pounds. Il thought there was
something wrong" he said. II
had tested the weight previously
on another scale, which I knew
was of a few pounds. The total
then was 253 pounds"
Scale Caught on Ramp,
Dewey told the inspection crew.
Ofncials discovered the scale had
caught on the ramp leading to-
the weighing platform. This had
kept the needle from registering
the true weight.
The youngster was warmly
praised for his action. IF I win,
I want to win fairly" Dewey de-
clared. II also realized that if
I won Saturday I'd be disquali-
1ied in Akron (scene of the ma
tional race)."
He plans to have his sleek, blue
racer weighed again tonight. He
fashioned most of his car out of
an old bench he got from a bowl
AA1S d4lCy.
Dewey won one heat in his first
race last year. There's been moth
ing but Derby talk in our house
since then" his mother said. She
took it upon herself to write to
IL boys who had fast heats in
the 81 Derby. Her questions
ranged from what lanes they
thought were the fastest to how
much their cars weighed.
Il heard from 10 of them and
they answered everything I
asked" she added. Dewey took
note OF their answers by distribut-
ing, his cars weight evenly and
building as close as possible to the
weight limit.
"Red Devils" on Hand.
The Red Devils" of the Ger
man Orphan Home were out in
force at the Armory. For years
they've been Steaming down the
track using the Red Devil"
insignia. This year their racers
are white with a thin black line
along the top from the front to
the tail.
One of the four boys entered
from the home, located at 2300
Good Hope road Sc, is Benny
Swami, Is. Benny will be racing
in his fifth and last Derby. He
said his racer showed "fast pick
up" when he tested it on the
homes grounds. Its now or
never" he added. shaking his
head.
Many Of the gravity-powered
cars had to have minor adjust
ments before they were passed.
Such was the case for Edward
King, IA. son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Claude King Of TOOL Emerson
street, Woodlawn, Md. His black
and white racer is covered with
rat wire and piece of tarpaulin.

Lakers Picked 10 Top
Knicks for Title in
Final Game at Home
By the Associated Press

ST. PAUL, Mimi, April 21.-
Strictly on the theory that the
home floor gives "a pro basketball
team a big advantage, it looks to-
day as if the Minneapolis Lakers
are headed for victory in the Ma
tional Basketball Association play
offs.
The Lakers last night gained
their third win in the series, ex-
plotting the home floor advantage
to the fullest for a 1929 de-
cision over the New York Knicker-
bockers. A crowd of 1900 saw
the game.
The teams headed, for New
York for the sixth game of the
best-of-seven series Wednesday
which, in theory again, should go
to New York. That would even
the series and put the seventh and
final game on the Lakers' home
floor in Minneapolis Friday.
Last nights game was marked
by George Mikan going over the
l0,O00-point mark in his profess
Sional basketball career. The
Lakers' center scored his 1O,0O0th
point with his first basket in the
fourth period. In all, he tailed
80 points during the game, a total
equalled by teammate Vern Mix
kelSen.
The Lakers, playing without
Jim Pollard who injured his back
in last Friday nights game in New
York, took an early lead. The
teams battled more or less on even
terms until late in the second
period when New York went
ahead. The Knicks couldn't get
more than three points away
from the Lakers, however, and the
Minneapolis team fought back to
a one-point lead at 49-48 at the
half.
With the opening of the third
period. the Lakers started draw
ing farther ahead of the visitors.

Ray and Roy Shields, twins and
lessees of the White Flint golf
course, today had phone calls in
to Ben Hogan and Sam Snead in
an attempt to get the worlds
greatest golfers here for an ex-
hibition match.
The Shields brothers were so
encouraged over the turnout for
the exhibition at White Flint yes
terday that they talked the mat
ter over with Fred Bolton and Ed
Oliver, and are attempting to get
Snead and Hogan to play Bolton
and Oliver.
A crowd estimated at $500, a
fair appraisal, watched Bolton
and Oliver smash par over the
short White Flint course yester-
day in winning an exhibition
match over Lew Worsham and
Frank Tenney. the new host pro,

Oliver May Be Signed.
Another development of divers
weekend visit to this section was
that he may be signed as the play
ing pro at the Woodmont Club,
where he played an exhibition
Saturday. Club officials were to
consider the move today, and if
Oliver is signed he will spend time
between tournaments at Wood
mont.
Bolton thinks there is a good
chance Of getting Snead and Ho-
gan for the match, possibly on
May 4. as both are scheduled to
play in the pro-member tourna-
ment at White Sulphur Springs,
w. Va. Snead's home club, that
week.
Bolton said Hogan called him
after the masters tournament and
said he would like to play IN ex-
hibition in Washington and would
do so for $1,000 and expenses.
Ben has been getting as high as
$500 for exhibitions. Bolton has
played in three exhibitions with
Hogan in the past few years.

pared to offer 81, 500 for the match

Cleveland's rampaging Indians
baseball's only unbeaten team, are
closing in on the major league
lrecord for consecutive victories at
,the start Of a season.
And Detroit's Tigers are on
their way to a record in reverse

Combining brilliant pitching
with long-range hitting, AL Lopez

md 1910 Brooklyn Dodgers.
Tigers Set Mark in 1920.
Detroit. without a victory in its

half way to its own major league
record of 13 successive losses at
the start of the 1920 campaign.
The Tigers. only big league club
never to finish in the cellar, are
there now, seven full games be-
hind the Indians.
Bob Lemon and Steve Gromek
each went the distance to make it
five complete games for Cleve-
land hurlers in seven starts.
Lemon yielded seven hits in the
opener for his second triumph.
Gromek permitted five for his
first.
Luke Casters homer in the
ninth. his third in three days,
broke up a pitching duel between
Lemon and Art Houtteman. The
Indians unloaded four round
trippers in the nightcap. AL Ro-
sen hit two and Pete Reiser and
