"And," he added, "this is the
only place where this has happen
ed to me twice.
''It shows to what extremes the
powers that be will 60 to try to
keep me from giving you my mes
sage"
Check Urged
He told the crowd that there
should be a check on the governor
and that the legislature should be
able to call itself into session if
two-thirds of the members desire
it.
although it is possible to i'm
peach a governor" he said, ''you
can't do it for the % months be-
tween sessions of the legislature. :"
Oldham also said that a law
should bar any legislator from en-
gaging in business with the state.
At one point during the question
and answer period following his
talk, Oldham said:
81 don't suppose Bernie is a
round. He might be up In the
trees out there. Or maybe some Of
his boys are around?"
Apparently this was a reference
to Bernie Papy, state representa-
tive, with whom Odahm has feud-
ed before.
Reference Draws Laughs
Odham's reference to the Over
seas Road and Toll Bridge Dis
trict drew a laugh from the crowd.
He said that at Pigeon Key
headquarters for the district they
wouldn't eat a ham unless it was
two years old and they had to have
cocktail onions.
when they finish with this au-
dit, we'll know more about it" he
said, cor else we'll have another
audit when / am governor.
He said the district had gone q
wears without an audit. This got
another laugh from the crowd.
To a questioner who wanted to
know if he favored taking the tolls
off the highway, Oldham did not
give a definite answer.
He also said he wanted to open
up the government for the people
and not just for politicians.

Police Seek

Missing Cash

NEW YORK R-Police are look

other woman" in the case of the
runaway bridegroom who left his
67-year-old bride of two days but
took along her $243,OOO bankroll
and jewels.
Percy william Herman, 40, and
Mrs. Dyoll Prather Herman were
married in Palm Beach, Fla,
March 2. They started on their
honeymoon by car with the cash
plus SIS, 800 of the woman's jew
els.
At Fredericksburg, Md, March
4, Herman dropped his bride off
at a motel and was looking for
a garage to have the car repaired,
he said, when he thought he was
being followed and got nervous. "
Herman told this story last Mon
day, March Is, when he was
picked up here by the FBI.
His bride relented when they
met in New York and asked Off
Gals to cancel her complaint, but
they refused. She put up $4,000
bail for Herman.
Yesterday federal officials told
Mrs. Herman they recovered the
jewels and $4,000 in cash in two
safety deposit boxes in banks here.
But another deposit box, they said,
contained nothing but ozone"
Further, authorities said, Her.
man checked into Broadway no.
tel March 8 with Kathleen Nag
Ter and put most of the money in
the safe deposit boxes in her
name.
Asst. U. S. Atty. William Esbitt
said the Nagler woman gave an
Oregon address, Central Point, and
Herman gave California address,
Millbrae. Esbitt said the couple
took a suite with two bedrooms
and a connecting door.
AS for the woman, Esbitt said,
"we have been unable to find her
or to identify her further"
Mrs. Herman said she was ''puZ-
zled and surprised" to learn of
the missing money.
It was the fourth marriage for
the wealthy Mrs. Herman.
Esbitt said Herman has been
married at least twice previously.
Herman gets hearing here next
Tuesday, when action may be TAX
en- on his removal to Richmond,
Va, where his wife made the or
iginal complaint-which involves
violation of the federal stolen prop
erty act.

LaSalle Meets
Bradley For
Cage Title
BY SKIPPER PATRICK

KANSAS CITY R-La Sale
UnlverSity's Explorers, featuring
All America Tom Cola, and Brad,
ley University's big, battling
Braves, will meet for the National
Collegiate Basketball champion
ship tonight.
La Sale, making its first ap-
pearance in the NCAA-sponsored
tournament, burned little energy in
beating badly outclassed Penn
State 1884 In the Semifinals last
night.
The rugged, hustling Bradley
team came from behind in the last
minute to beat the Southern Cali
tornla Trojans 74-72 and gain their
second spot In the NCAA finals.
City College of New York whipped
the Braves 7l-6S in the 1850 finals.
Penn State and Southern Cal
will play for consolation honors
at S:45 (EST). Bradley and La
Sale begin their nationally tele-
vised (NBC) game at 11:IO.
Trailing 29-4O late in the second
quarter, Bradley's power pai1 &c

stay.
Southern Cal, with Roy Irwin
winning individual scoring honors
with % points, was ahead 42-36
at the half and 1851 after three
periods, but couldn't stand off the
raQying Braves.
Big Dick kSrergard threw in 81
points for Coach Fordy AnderSon'S
Bradley team, which was barred
from NCAA competition last year
because of rules violations.
La Sales performance last
night left the experts in state of
confusion. Fans-there were about
10000 of them-poured out in
droveS during the second half as
it became evident Penn State
couldn't make a contest of it.
Penn State-the team that upset
Louisiana State and Notre Dame
in the Iowa City regionals-did
nothing right. The Lions hit only
25 per cent of their field shots,
made numerous wild passes and
defended poorly.
Cola, who got his first field goal
just before the end of the first
half, showed an All America
touch, but never had to turn on
the steam. He wound up with 10
points, 9 of them on free throws.
Frank Blatcher also got
10.
