EIIender Raps Plans
Of Senate 10 Spend
81 Million on Probes
By the Associated Press

Senator Ellender, Democrat
of Louisiana today criticized Sen
ate plans to spend more than
So million. on Investigations this
year and said 1--WE seem to be
running wild"
There is no question that we
are going overheard on inveSti-
cations; he said in an inter-
view, adding:
professional job hunters and
investigators cause lot of this
to be sure of a payroll spot, and
some Senators apparently want
to put cronies and friends on
investigating staffs."
Voted Over Protest.
Senator Ellender protested
vainly yesterday as the Senate
voted $482 1000 in special funds
for investigations by four COM
mittees. Requests from other
groups have not yet been
acted on.
Longest dispute was over a
100000 investigating fund ap-
proved for the Commerce Com
mittee under Senator Magnuson,
Democrat, of Washington. to
probe into io-television, rail-
roads, aviation, telephone. elec-
trio power and other fields.
Senator Magnuson assured the
Senate that if his Investigations
develop evidence of monopoly
in any of these fields. he would
turn the information over to
the Senate Judiciary Committee
which handles antitrust legis-
lation and enforcement prob
lens.
Senator Ellender said this was
about twice as much money as
the committee had asked OF
spent in recent years. He sug-
gested that Senator Magnuson
and other committeeman get
along on $150,0O0 and then come
back to the Senate if they need
more.
Backed by KnOwland.
Senator Knowland, Republi-
can, of California, agreed with
Senator Ellender but the Senate
on voice vote, approved the full
fund.
Then, over Senator BLENDERS
protests, the Senate:
l. Handed 100000 to it's Bank
ing Committee. under Chairman
Fulbright, Democrat, of Arkansas
to conduct a study of the stock
market and to continue a probe
of housing scandals.
2. Gave an additional $50, ,000
to the Foreign Relations Com
mittee to continue Investigations
of foreign aid and proposals to
revise the United Nations charter
3. Approved $3.50, 900 to COM
plete pending Investigations by
the Interior Committee.
4. Authorized enlarged STATS
of investigators for other COM
mitteeS.
$4,000 Each Year.
Senator Ellender said each OF
the 16 Senate committees gets a
fund of 100000 or more each
year for regular operations and
staff. That amounts to about
$1la million.
AS a chairman of the Agricul-
ture Committee, Senator Ellen
der said he had been able to op-
crate on only $4,000 a year, yet
half a dozen Senate investiga-
tions are asking funds ranging
from 100000 up to 100000.
These include the Investiga-
tions subcommittee, formerly
headed by Senator Mccarthy,
Republican. of Wisconsin, which
has spent about 100000 a year; /;
separate Red-hunting Internal
Security subcommittee which got
100000 last year under Senator
Jenner, Republican. of Indiana,
and the Civil Service Committee,
which plans a probe Of Govern
ment loyalty and security cases
under Senator Olin D. Johnston,
Democrat, Of South Carolina.

Archie Moore
Owes $4,000
Must Give
Rematch

New York-(ANP)-Mike Di-
Sale, "benefactor" of Archie Moore
and his associates, in Toledo, have
bill in for $4,000 for their SER
vices, which, according to New
York sports writer's will have to
be paid out of the Hockey Marciano
fight purse.
Archie's manager was handed
the bill after the Bobo Olson thing,
and Infatuated, promptly tore it
up, but with the Marciano fight a
reality, so is this bill. Besides, out
of Arches purse, should he win,
he's got put 100000 in the bank
to guarantee a return bout with
Hockey.
Archie has been warned that AL
WE'LL, Rockey's manager, would
stop at nothing to save his meal
ticket. and this is just the beglnn-
ing. WE'LL insisted that Archie meet
hockey in a return match should
Archie snatch the title.
Archie's manager had best pay
attention, or a little attention to
WE'LL. He's been in the business
a long time and will take every
advantage he possibly can land
some he can't) for his, man. He
denies demanding a small ring for
the cokell fight but the size of the
ring had lots to do with Marcel
amos finally catching up with the
durable British champ.

Several persons gathered at the
jail after the men were locked up
at about 10 PM EST and asked
that they be freed Shield said, but
that was no indication of possible
violence.
There was hard feelings toward
me for putting them in Jail / told
them I've got to do it," the sheriff
said.
Shield said the case bore a SINH
larity of the "Wolfe Whistle" in
cident in Mississippi in which a
was abducted by two white men for
14-year-old Negro Emmett Till,
alledgedly insulting a white wo-
man. Till was later found slain.
Shield said he charged the men
formally with assault and battery
and presenting firearms at another
and would notify federal authorities
of possible grounds for federal
kidnap and civil right charges.
The men dragged the Negro into
car and drove him to a beer
parlor at Columbus, Miss, where
the alleged blackjacking occurred
last Saturday night, shield said.
The sheriff said he notified Sher-
iff C. E. Farmer of Lowndes
County in Mississippi that part Of
the kidnap ride and part Of the
beating occurred in that state.

GrambIing Opens
Against Paul
Quinn Sat. Night

Grambling, La. Especially The
Grambling college Tigers, eager and
anxious to atone for last years
commonplace 4-3-2 record, will open
the season here Saturday night
against Paul Quinn with a brand
new look of solidarity.
Eddie Robinson and his staff are
setting the stage for productive
football picture that stars big
and seasoned first line, strong in
side running, and the well-fanged
passing of Pitching" Paul Green
and Jammie Caleb.
.. The Manufactured Tigers are
firmly on the upgrade and will
take the field against the East
Texans with far more than take
it-for-granted temper.
Grambling was held to q semi
failure 90 tie by Paul Quinn in
the "a opener.
A reliable mixture of heft and
whoopla running should put the
team in a much. better shooting
position for Saturdays assignment.
For one thing, seasoned timber
is well-distributed, and producer
Robinson, on his own free will and
accord, admits that the squad Is
not starvingly thin at any position
Shoulder-pad stickouts are Ed
ward Murry, a 155-pound tailbacF
positively remarkable for his YER
satility; Caleb, stop-and-go fresh
man with blazing speed; Leon CAT
ford, Sterlin Dyer, Fred Kirkpat-
rick, Foster Wheeler, James Cul-
mer and Theopolis Roach, a pair o.
glue-fingered ends. Joe Dixon. Will
lie Davis, Melvin Lee, George Glenn
Lem Coleman, WILDER Heggar anC
Ronny Muschatt.
All are steady performers whc
command the respect of teammates
and opponents alike.
Paul Quinn, as usual, will play
an extremely tough schedule ant
has enough of a nucleus surviving
from the "a squad to engendeI
hope for a good season-despite
new coach, new material in the
backfield and a new system.
Newly appointed Clarence Bush
has openly predicted his squad vii!
be ready for any Grambling hot
foot.
Bush has given his boys two-wav
zip and expects them to maintain
their traditional perch as a South
west independent.
His offense will be varied, but
he could use a whip-armed passer
to supplement the double-barreled
running game.
Saturdays opener will attract g
crowd of 10000 and will inquest
ionably command an important
position when the honor summaries
are discussed in late November.

'MvC Delta Devils
Face Zine Game
Schedule

ITTA BENA, Miss, Sept. IL
Athletic Director and Head Coach,
U. Mcpherson, announced here a
nine game schedule for the Missis-
sippi Vocational College Devil
football squad for the 1866 season.
The potentials of this years team
are exceptional after such a great
showing last year. If the spirit and
drive of last years team is still in
this years unit, there's no telling
what to predict or expect from the
team and it's a great possibility
that they won't be stopped.
This years team, in all proba-
bility, will be centered around MVC
all American halfback, Adam Der
vim, who possess tremendous power
and dexterous running ability.
Other threats with the same poten-
tialities are Rudy Battle, Lawson
Presley and Walter Taylor which
could complete the galloping mule
backfield.
The strength of the seven mules
in the line is showing vast i'm
1rovements from last year. The
inc was mostly made upon fresh
men in the "a season but now after
year under their belts, ole man
experience is showing the lessons
It has taught.
The Coaching Staff which is
made up of u. Mcpherson, Head
Coach and Athletic Director; Clar-
ence Jackson, a new conner to the
staff and formerly of Kentucky
State, serving as backfield coach;
Charles Luckey, backfield coach
and Big Jim Edmondson, line coach,
all express agreement that they are
pleased with the teams showing
luring practice. Coach Mcpherson
.tated that most of the boys fol-
lowed advice given them for the
summer months while working at
nome and returned in prettygood
londition.
A moral factor to this, years
team will be the spanking-brand-
new Magnolia Stadium which is
3cheduled for completion by Octo-
Der /.

in charge of the FBI in Birming-
ham, said his office was making
an immediate investigation" to
determine whether federal laws
were violated.
The federal laws apply in a
kidnap case when the victim is
carried over state lines. In this
case the victim was carried from
Carrollton Ala. to Columbus, Mis-
sissippi.
A federal charge of kidnapping
would carry penalties, upon con-
viction, ranging up to death.
Pickens County Sheriff R. R..
Shields said he arrested the men
as they drove along U. S. Highway
90 last night after releasing the
Negro Mutt Jones, beaten and
frightened but otherwise unharm-
ed.
Asked why the three men kidnap-
ed Jones, Shields explained, "it
was just case of mistaken identity.
A Negro hit McGee's father with a
blackjack Saturday night in Column
bus, Miss, and they though it was
jones'"
The three are scheduled to be
tried Oct. 3 in Pickens County
Court.

set an all-time record when 455

Forty-seven pros, headed by
stocky Charlie Sifford, Washing

tered the tournament. St. Louis

Jaguars' Hopes
Held High
By S. w. Austin

Baton Rouge, La Sept Ia -
Southern University's Jaguar Cats
facing tantalizing ten-game slate.
hoped off to a flying start here
last week with the largest aggrega-
ton in the past five seasons.
The Cats are to be sent through
double sessions daily until the be-
ginning of classes. The staff is
fronted with a big problem of whip
ping the local eleven into condition
for the lidlifter here September "a,
against Texas Southern at Memoir
al Stadium. Head Coach, A. W.
Mumford said he is elated over the
Jaguars' prospects which are ex-
cellent and that there should be
adequate requirements for all posi-
tons.
The quarterback slot which is
the nucleus of the grid machine
has an abundance of talent, some
experienced and some freshman
with a promising future. Emile
Pope, a poised senior field general
with a glittering past, is schedule
to climax his college career in a
blaze of glory. Eldridge Mitchell,
Percy Johnson, and Kermit Cour-
vile are the other followers.
For the halfback positions, there
are hordes of aspirants who will
be used freely to keep up the tor
rid pace set by the offensive-minded
Cats.
Weight is also a noticeable fea-
ture in Southern's camp, particular
ly in the line. Some of the wing
men are actually on the hefty side
but they are exceptionally fleet
footed.
Getting a punter into condition
may take quite bit of the coaches
time since kicking sometimes proves
a lethal weapon if two stubborn
lines check opposing backfields. The
Jaguars have had very little OPP
portunity to exhibit their kickers.
In one game last year, the Cats
