Four Straight Wins
Helping Eastern High
Toward Another Title

Eastern, after a lapse of one
year, may be on it's way to an
other football championship in
the Interhigh division y
League. The Ramblers won the
title in 1850 and 81.
After dropping its opener to
Lebanon (Pa.), 1916. Eastern has
come back to take four straight,
scoring 113 points and giving up
only 18.
Despite the fact that two of
those victories were over sup
posedly weak teams (Chamber-
lain and Bell), the Ramblers un-
questionably have power. In
| Quarterback Ed Mulligan, who
does most of the passing and
place-kicking: Halfbacks Dave
Eddington and Gay Clark and
Fullback Bob Ellis, Coach Dick
Mentzer has a backf1eld that is
clicking under the split T. The
forward wall, spearheaded by
Tackle Clyde Shippfe and Guard
Mike Monahan, is doing a stand
out job on both offense and
defense.
Play Riders Tomorrow.
The Ramblers will need to be
operating at full steam tomorrow
when Roosevelt visits Eastern for
a game that means much to both
teams. Eastern. if it gets by the
Riders, will have only Anacostia
and Western to contend with for
Eastern Division honors, and
neither of these two figure to be
too much trouble.
Should Roosevelt win tomor-
row it still has stumbling
block in Tech, a winner last
week over Wilson, defending
champion, and improving with
each start. Roosevelt and Tech
will meet November 6 in a game
which will probably decide the
Western Division representative
Tor the championship playoffs.

Gun, Tests Show
BY the Asseeieisd Press

PITTSBURGH, July 29.-State
police disclosed today the same
gun killed two drivers within
four days as they slept in the
cabs of their trucks on the Penn
sylvania turnpike.
Commissioner c. NJ. Wilhelm
made the announcement after
ballistic tests at Harrisburg, con-
hrming beliefs of investigators
that a maniac armed with a 80
automatic committed the Slay-
ings.
Stirred by the killings. truck
erS on the super toll highway
turned to wagon train tactics OF
pioneer days as police pressed
their hunt for the slayer.
Not a parked truck was visible
last night along the open road
from New Stanton to the Pitts
burgh interchangeS. Much the
same condition was reported
along the rest of the pike.
The big vehicles, however,
swarmed around turnpike res
taurants. taking up much of the
parking space.
Virginia Driver Slain.
Latest victim of turnpike vio-
lence was Harry Franklyn Pitts.
80. of Bowling Green, Va, whose
body was found in his parked
truck yesterday near Donegal. SO
miles from Pittsburgh. A bullet
had been fired into his head.
Lester B. Woodward, 30-year-
old driver from near Harrisburg,
was shot to death under similar
circumstances last Saturday. His
truck was parked near the Irwin
interchange. about 80 miles from
Donegal.
=. Coroner Joseph r. Check said
both men were shot with 80
caliber bullets.
State Police CorpI. William

ened away after shooting Mr..
Pitts.

There's a maniac loose on
the turnpike"

All exits from the 360-mile
turnpike were blocked after Mr..
Pitts body was found. Police
searched every auto and checked
each passenger as the traffic
moved off through the inter-
changes.
The two killings touched off
reaction in the State Legislature
and among members of the
Pennsylvania Motor Truck Asso-
citation. In the Legislature, Sen
ator Joseph M. Barr told the
State Senate additional police
protection Is needed on the turn
pike. He said most of the pres
ent 1900 members of the State
police should be assigned to the
super road.
The truck association set up
safety patrol headquarters at
Bedford and began helping State
police patrol the turnpike. Asso-
citation members warned truck
ers not to pull off the highway
to sleep.
Instead. truck drivers were told
to park their vehicles near gaso-
line stations or at all-night res
taurants when they get sleepy.
Drivers formerly were told to
pull off on the shoulder and nap.

Future Listinq
OF BoIky p
Is Undecided

Pentagon officials said today
they have not yet decided what
to do about the % pro-Red
American POWs in Korea who
today refused to return to the
free world despite last-minute
broadcast appeals.
Reports have persisted that
the group would be declared
absent without leave at midnight
tonight, and would be classed as
deserterS after 80 days. A de-
fense Department spokesman
said today. however, that the
Americans will be carried on the
rolls as prisoners of war until
next January %. The Neutral
Repatriation Commission is re-
quired by the armistice agree
ment to give asylum to all un-
repatriated prisoners until that
date, when they are to be re-
leased as civilians.
If the prisoners still refuse to
return after January %, the
Government will have to reach
decision about them. It can
drop them from the rolls, and
in effect declare them deSerters.
AS an alternative. it might give
them so-called undesirable dis
charges. Such discharges are
not considered dishonorable, but
they automatically stop all pay
and allotments to dependents.
Theoretically, the Govern
ment could also take no action
in the hope the prisoners might
eventually return. This would be
an unlikely course, however,
since it would mean the pay of
the absent men would continue
to accumulate on the books and
their dependents would continue
to receive allotmentS indefinitely.
