The "World Series" of East
Cleveland Little League baseball
is scheduled to get underway to-
night when Diamonds Mems Shop,
Shaw Division champs, meets Koe-
mig Sport Goods, Superior Division
titlists, in the first game of two
out-of-three series at Shaw Field.
Although the Koenig nine has a
better season record, II victories
and 2 defeats, as against Dia-
mond's 1913 mark, they are very
evenly matched. The two teams
have met twice in regular season
play and each chalked up vic
tory. In their first, meeting two
weeks ago, the Shaw Division
kings pounded out 1878 win but
the Koenigmen came back to
avenge that loss by taking a As
decision.
Both teams have an array of
good hitters. Diamonds has an
edge in the offensive department
with seven of their starting nine
hitting over 300. Larry Lako,
diminutive catcher, PAGES the Dia-
mond attack with a current .553
average. Five of the Koenig var
sity have better than 300 marks
with Marv Levey leading the par
ade with a .537 average. Defen-
sively, there is little to choose be-
tween the two clubs.
The respective pitching staffs
have given rival clubs plenty of
trouble all season. Joe Benich,
Koenig's 11-year old moundsman,
is the No. l hurler in the league
with a so record. The Diamond
nine also boasts an undefeated
slabster in husky Butch" Di Bar
tolomeo who has racked up three
straight wins. However, Joe Sau-
to, Diamond manager, is expected
to call on his ace hurler, Bob
Dwors, to start tonight's impor-
tant game. Dwors, with a AZ rec
ord, has shown remarkable control
in his eight appearances on the
mound, walking only four oppon-
ents in 40 innings of work. Benich
is expected to assume the mound
duties for Koenig's tonight with
Dick Germaine handling the catch

Householders will get a chance
to complain officially about Junk
mail" early next year.
II. VT. Rrawley, Democratic
staff member Of the Senate Post
ONCE and Civil Service Commit
tee, said today the group would
hold public hearings. probably
early In January, on Postmaster
General Summerfleld's order
permitting "simplified address
circulars"
The order, issued in August.
1863. requires letter carriers to
dutifully place In each manbox
on their routes circulars ad-
dressed merely to shousehelders'
or patrons or Occupants"
In the first year Of Its opera
ton, the order increased by al
most 364 million the number of
pieces oil third class mail han
dled BY the country's postmen.
MaiImen Plan Action.
The mailmen themselves plan
to do some complaining. The
National Association OF Letter
Carriers said 1t has lined UP
congressional support for legis-
lation banning sunk mail.
Mr.. Brawley said pressure
for . change has been terrific"
He noted that the Junk mail"
order was issued by the Post
master General and could be
rescinded without congressional
action.
The plan seems to be to hold
hearings to get at the facts. II
the committee decides the order
should be changed, it can ask
for action by the Post Office.
If the Post Office stands pat,
the committee can offer q bill
to force o shutoff in the flow
Of Junk mail"
The position Of the Post Office
is this:
Junk mail" Is cheaper to
handle than addressed mail be-
cause 1t does not have to be
sorted for delivery. The service

when postage is guaranteed. In
many instances the patrons
simply boycott the advertisers
product. The more desperate
patrons are reserting to two
mailboxes - q regulation re-
ceptacle for mail they want and
a trash can for circular matter.
"One patron" MIR. Doherty
said, s'has raised the interesting
legal question Of Illegal entry to
his home, since the circulars are
unsolicited, unWanted and una
addressed"
Besides all that, he says. '1et-
ter carriers are tired Of being
pack mules and handful ped
dlers.'
Post Office Gives Addresses.
Prior to the funk mail" order,
advertisers bought local mailing
lists to use In their direct-mail
campaigns. They can now get
from the post Office q book list
ing all mail route numbers with
the number Of houses and apart
mems on each route. From this
book. they can determine just
how many circulars to pack to
each mailman.
The biggest user of the new
advertising system apparently is
Pillsbury Mills. Inc. For this
client, the F'ulfillment Corp. OF
America, Marion, Ohio, late in
the summer sent out 800 tons of
advertising circulars. This un-
addressed mail was given to post
masters with q timetable SO that
the delivery of the circulars
would tie In with the colnpany's
campaigns using other advertis-
ing media.
The letter carriers contend the
Post Office loses money on third
class mail, addressed or not adj
dressed, and that the increase
caused by the Junk" mail order
merely adds to the postal deficit.
Mr.. Summerfield's position is
that the answer should be found
in higher rates. Third class mail
now moves for one and half
cents. He wants an increase to
at least two cents. -

Prosecutor Indicted
By phenix City Jury
In Patterson Killing
by the A Associated Press

PHENIX CITY, Ala, Dec. 10.
A prosecuting attorney and .
former sheriff's deputy who rose
to power during the racketeer-
ing heyday in Phepix City have
been indicted as the killers OF
the man whose crusade against
vice had won the approval of
Alabama voters.
Circuit Solicitor Arch Terrell
and former Chief Deputy Sheriff
Albert Fuller we're held without
bond on first degree murder
charges for the Staying June 10
Of Attorney General nominee A.
L. Patterson.
Neither indictment sought to
specify which OF the two men,
II either. actually fired three 49,
caliber shots into Mr.. Patter-
sons body. Under Alabama. law
a murderer and an accomplice
are equally guilty and can be put
to death in the electric chair.
A third unidentified defendant
was indicted together with Fer.
rell and Fuller yesterday by the
same grand jury which has
smashed the vice empire that
reigned here for many years.
Arrest Awaited.
The name of the other defend
ant, and the charge against him,
were kept secret because the law
prohibits such disclosure until
an arrest is made. An official
source close to the grand jury
said the third man was indicted
as an accessory after the Patter-
son Staying. T..
Speedy trials appeared likely
for the 37-year-old Terrell, de-
scribed by Mr.. Patterson and his
associates as the brains" of the
Phenix City political organiza-
ton, and Fuller, 3d.. denounced
by vice prosecutors as the mas
ter"
Acting Attorney General Ber-
Tard Sykes said he hopes to
start the trials early in january.
Mr.. Patterson's crime-fighting
career ended the night of June
ID when a gunman waylaid him
in an alley outside his law Office
here. He had won the Demo-
cratic nomination for attorney
general in a bitterly contested
runof primary on June /.
Indicted Previously. =
Both Terrell and Fuller also
had been indicted during the
vice housekeeping in Phenix
City. They pleaded guilty four
days ago to vote fraud charges
and Fuller was fined $3.50, Fer
rell 5000.
The 200-pound veteran chief
deputy had already been con-
victed of taking payoff money to
let a bawdy house operate I'M
molested during the era of easy
night life in Phenix City, and
was sentenced to seven years in
prison.
Terrell had acquired a reputa-
ton as quick-tempered but
keen-minded lawyer whose work
in the American Legion brought
him recognition as State COM
mander in 1949. He was an
infantry captain in World War
II.
