Ruled by Murder,
Crime Inquiry Told
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.--An ex-
convict says the luxury-liner
docks punched along New York's S
waterfront are run by mobSters
who muscled in via murder and
who rule with iron-fisted vio-
lence. -..-.
Dominick Geneva, who served
time at Sing Sing prison for
robbery and who has an assault
charge against him, took the
witness stand yesterday at the
New York State Crime Commits
sion hearing.
Geneva testified that a mob
home when Mr.. and Truman
arrived.
Mr.. Truman went out into the
street to congratulate the leader.
You're better than the Ma
rine Band" he said.
He turned when he mounted
the steps and said: "If I'd been
elected to something I'd have ex-
pected this-but I haven't been
elected to anything"
I'VE have never had a welcome
equal to- this anywhere in the
World.s' Mr.. Truman said into the
microphones, "and I've been

across Ohio, Indiana and Mis-.
sour the Truman train drew
crowds. The one in the st. Louis
station was almost as large as
the one that said good-by to him
in the Washington station Tues
day night.
The former President was not
content to stay in the private
car in the rear. He was con-
tinually coming forward, some
times at the request of photogra-
piers, sometimes on his. own,
Once he patted the head of a
baby lying in Pullman seat and
sucking on bottle.
THAT good?" Mr.. Truman
asked.
He poked his head in an open
compartment door and was
pleased when he saw that the
woman inside did not recognize
him.
Things are getting back to
normal" he said.
Not long later, he was out of
his private car again-this time
to make a little talk for tele-
vision cameras and sound truck.
Seated before the microphone
at a table in the dining car, MIR.
Truman said:
Its a pleasure indeed to be
going home as a private citizen
once more. I look forward to
grand time doing what / please
and going where I please. am
sorry can't say what please
yet.
"I've been through a day coach
for the first time in eight years.
I think I prefer them You get

the lack of it that gets people
into devilment.
Apparently I have to join the
army of unemployed. I'm look
ing tor a job. If you have any,
thing to offer-get in touch with
me"
He made it quite apparent that
this was all in fun
He was in such high good |
humor that he had a gag for
every stop. At st. Louis he ex-
hlbited a small bottle and said

that he had a chair at home he |

public they have grown up in
and that it has reached it's
present condition only through
struggle and that they eshould
continue that struggle" he said.
Mr.. Truman was asked if he
felt let down about relinquish-
ing the Office, and he said no.
he had always assumed the re-
sponsibility and never shirked it.
Would he do it the same way
again? he was asked. and he
answered that he would like to
have one think different.
I'D like to have the next so
years ahead of me instead of
behind me-" he said.
He was asked If he would run
for Congress two years from
now. and he answered that he
didn't think there was any pos
sibility of that.
Mr.. Truman said he talked
with the only other living ex-
President, Herbert Hoover, just
before President Eisenhower was
sworn in Tuesday and that Mr..
Hoover suggested I'VE ought to
have a reunion of ex-Presidents."
Would Like to Take Trip.
Mr.. Truman wants to take a
trip, he said. a, rest trip, like
several members of his cabinet
are doing.
" Il haven't been able. to get
away" he said, 'swhenever
there's work to do, I'm there." ~ ".
His voice dropped into a seri-
Gus note, and he said sthat the
Office he had just left was the
most powerful Office in the world,
that Napoleon. S GenghiS Khan
and other corduerihg heroes
never held the power that rests
with the President"of the United
States. It
Il am not going to do anything
that would reflect on that great
Office. ethically or otherwise" he
said, and made it clear that
would be his greatest considera-
ton about any future employ
ment ~
More than 5000 persons
crowded around the presidential
private car Ferdinand Magellan
when it Arrived at independence
last night almost an hour late.
1t was a crowd stirred by rip
roaring enthusiasm. Shouts of
1--WE love you, Harry" and
Three cheers for Harry" inter-
rupted his short speech of ap-
probation as he stood before a
group of microphones with Mrs.
Truman.
The air was crisp. It was be-
low freezing. Piles of snow
from a storm, a week ago were
all about. The breath of his
admirers who had waited so
long to greet him was visible in
the station flood lights as they
shouted.
Mr.. Truman sold the crowd:
Thank you very much, I
can't tell you all how much we
appreciate this reception. It's
magnif1cent-much more than
we expected.
Its a good feeling to be back
home for good.
I'm in the army of. the un-
employed nova small army,
however, I've got a job to do,
though, one for Mrs Truman.
That's to unpack all our goods

eight people several months to

me some time to unpack it.

For the third straight year, a
Baltimorean has won the tough
Clarendon Open duckpin tourna-
ment, but after IL years of COM
petition involving many OF the
best bowlers in the country, the
event still is without a repeater.
John Gaise, topf1ighter in
Baltimore, won last night with
seven-game score of 1000. an
average of 147-1. The runner
up was Guy Andes, Navy Yard
bowler, who in mid-winter scored
the most surprising victory in
the history of the Campbell
Open. Oldest tournament of it's
kind in the duckpin world. Galse
tailed 1,O1O at Clarendon for an
average of 144-2.
Gaise's games were 1877. 119,
1865, 1856, $50 and 1861 His prize
was 5000.
Russ Spilman, with 999, was
third: Bill Moore. 997, fourth.
and Mike Avon, who with Spill
man holds the national three
game doubles record at 929. was
fifth with 900. All are from this
area.
Sixth place fell to O'Neill
Wynne of Norfolk, who set an
all-time 15-game record OF 2,l42
in winning the United States
Open this season in Baltimore.
Dave Volk of Baltimore. who
won the Clarendon Open in 1851.
was seventh with 973, tralled by
three area bowlers, Larkin Wee
don. 968; Nick Rinaldi, 964. and
Bill Stalcup, 953. Jack Talbert
won a consolation prize with a
game of 1872, but the top game
of the tournament was Avon's
100.
There were 76 entries, two
fewer than last year.
Henry George, who averages
los in the Navy Department
League, but 115 in tournaments,
won the Vernon Graves Handi-
cap at PetWorth and it was the
high point of his career in four
respects. His TOT from scratch
was the highest f1ve-game set
he ever rolled, his Alb for the
first three games his best total
for that stretch: 289 for the
last his best for pair of strings
and 178 in the fourth his highest
