Beard Gets 5 Years,
Is Fined $4,000 for
Income Tax Evasion
BY The Asseeiaisd Press

BALTIMORE. Oct. ~. - Sam
Beard, 81. Washington gam
bier, was given five-year prison
term and fined $4,000 yesterday
for income tax evasion.
Federal Judge William G. Cole
man said he'd have made the
sentence heavier if the law al
lowed.
Judge Coleman declared
Boards trial was unusual in that
1t involved a total lack of de-
fense."
Boards conviction last Friday
was for evading $483,563 in 1914
taxes. He was found not guilty
by the jury Of evading 81 million
in 1916 and 1947 taxes.
The judge dismissed motions

Beard. He also refused to re-
lease him on bail when defense
attorneys said they would ap-
peal.
The defense called the judges
attention to the 290-pound de-
fendant's age and to treatment
he has undergone for q heart
ailment.
II find no extenuating circum-
stances to give you special
treatment. There is no concrete
evidence you are in bad physical
shape" replied Judge Coleman.
The judge continued:
"You have a bad record in
addition. You have served over
five years and apparently you
haven't learned what 1t means
to obey the law.
II sentence you to five years
and fine you $4,000. That is the
maximum. If the court could
impose a greater sentence, it
would be disposed to do so.'

Hormel Packing Heir Arrested In Narcotics Case In Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES, R - An early morning arrest put George A. Hormel II, musician and meat packing fortune heir, in jail for 10 hours in a narcotics case high lighted by an encounter between arresting officers and Hormel's friend, actress Rita Moreno.
 Hormel, 26, divorced from French actress Leslie Caron, is free today on $1,50O bond on a habeas corpus writ returnable on Thursday in Superior Court.
 At a press conference arranged by her studio last night Miss Mor- enc, 22, who wasn't arrested, said "When the officers said they were O'Grady and O'Connor, I thought it was a gag. But I didn't kick him, I just pushed him in the stomach and slapped his right hand"
 Sgt. John O'Grady, of the police narcotics detail, who was in the arresting party with Matthew O'Connor, state narcotics inspec- tor, had a different version.
 q was met by 100 pounds of wildcat" said O'Grady, claiming that Miss Moreno kicked and struck him.
 Hormel was arrested in front of his Laurel Canyon home by the officers who said they found 13 marijuana cigarettes above the sun visor of his automobile. He had just come from a night club where he plays the piano with a trio. O'Grady said a parking lot near the night club had been under investigation for several weeks as "a hot bed of marijuana peddling-"

$2OO,OOO Fire In Anchorage P.U. Power Plant

ANCHORAGE, R-A fire and explosion ripped through the An chorage Public Utilities diesel plant here Saturday night, caus- ing damage estimated at nearly a quarter of a million dollars. Sev- eral firemen were injured fight ing the blaze.
 City manager George Shannon said the fire apparently was touched off by an overloaded diesel motor, one of five in the plant. An explosion followed the fire, shattering windows.
 Shannon said one of the ex- pensive diesels was a total loss. The other four were heavily damaged but salvagable. Shan non estimated damage to the $6O0,00O plant at $2OO,O00.
 The fire and explosion dealt a serious blow to the city's power supply, Shannon said.
 In all, 32 firemen battled the blaze with eight fire trucks, in cluding two from Elmendorf Air Force Base. There were no hy- drants in the vicinity of the diesel plant and the firefighters had to run more than mile of hose to get water with which to fight the flames.

Scientists Find Ready-Made Air Field In Arctic

NEWARK, N.J., R-Wilbur E. Dow Jr., of Short Hills, admir- alty lawyer who returned this week from an Arctic expedition, said Saturday he found ready made site for a modern air base directly across the North Pole from major Russian bases.
 Dow said in an interview with the Newark Sunday News the site is located on Prince of Wales Is- land off the Canadian Northwest Territories.
 "We found a three-mile long dry river bed at sea level run ming into the sea which could be easily converted into an airstrip," he told the newspaper. We made a regultr speedway on the hard strip racing our jeep up and down it whenever we had the oppor- tunity."
 The strip is protected from crosswinds by its location, he said. Dow and his associates, who included the Rev. Daniel Linehan, head of the Weston Observatory, Weston, Mass, charted and map ped the area and turned their data over to Canadian authorities.
 Dow declined to give the exact location of the potential airbase on the 18,000 square-mile island.
 Dow said major Russian air bases are known to be located in Soviet Arctic regions on the op- posite side of the North Pole and that 50 per cent of the Rus sian air force has been reported stationed there.

Sexy American Polar Bear Wins Right To Work In Great Britain
By COLIN FROST

LONDON, lR-Aurora, an Am erican polar bear with sex appeal, won the right today to work her wiles on Britain.
 After hectic two-hour confer ence, top officials of the govern ment board of trade decided to lift the ban on Aurora's entry and let her in.
 Aurora was shipped here as too hot to handle from a Chicago zoo where she stirred five male polars to a fighting passion of rivalry.
 She came as free gift to Man chester's Bellevue zoo, but the board of trade barred her entry into the country on her arrival aboard a freighter.
 Gerald Hes, Bellevue zoo super intendent, called the board of trade ban fantastic" and sped from Manchester to protest.
 The board of trade had said earlier: Polar bears are not es- sential imports so they are ban ned. As we do not allow com- mercial ZOOS to buy polar bears in America, we cannot allow them to accept them as gifts. That might lead to abuse"
 Explaining the boards change of heart today, an official spokes- man said: "We have, for the first time, got the full story. Since it is now quite clear the bear came here as a gift, we have decided to cut through the red tape and let her come ashore"
