East Bay KeaIers End
First Lap Of Campaiqn

Oakland, Calf. - The first
half of the newly organized
East Bay GU. Mixed Han
dicap League has come to a
successful conclusion with the
Golden Caters of Lodge 876,
emerging as victors.
Second and third place
honors respectively were ia
ken by the So What's of
Lodge 352 and Jets, Lodge
900. It was a close exciting
race all the way and all the
ei g h t teams participating
were in contention for the
three top berths right into
the last week of play.
The closeness of the stand
ings is attested to by the fact
that during the 18th week of
play the two top teams were
tied for first, the next four
teams for second and the last
two for third, all three with
only a four game spread in
the standing.
Individual honors went to
John Vitalich whose high SER
les of 578 remained unshaken
through most of the season,
although Al Sankovich gave
John a scare when he rolled a
$40 for his high of the sea-
son. High games went to
Charlie Roach who, on his
first night of play rolled a
high of 240, to top Joe Has
sons 236.
In the women's department
Kay Petrucela walked off
with honors for both high
series, 480 and high game,
1872. Kay set these highs ear
ly in the season and though
threatened they stood the
test of time.
Team statistics showed the
Who Cares to be hardest on
the pin boys. They took pin
mage with total of 3O,327.
High team series went to the
Hot Rods with 2319 and high
game to the SO What's with
$50. -
If the first half is any indi-
cation of the things to come
the second half should prove
to be just as close and excit-
ing. It's certain everyone will
be in their rolling away for
a chance to playoff against
the Golden Caters for the
seasons championship.

Matt Radko Died
January 9th, 1856

McKees Rocks, Pa. - On
January 9th, the Spirits
Lodge 143 lost one of it's most
valued and trusted members,
Matthew Radko.
Matt, as he was known to
all of us, was born in Mart,
Yugoslavia, in 1908. He came
to America in 1921 with his
late mother, Anna, and bro
ther Stephen to join his faith
err, the late Imbro. The family
settled in McKees Rocks.
Matt made quick adjustments
to the American way of life.
In 1880, Matt enrolled in
our lodge and became a very
active participant in lodge af-
fairs. He served two terms as
our lodge president an d
several terms as a member of
the lodge board of trustees.
Even recently he was re-
elected to the trustees board
for the year 1856.
A great sports enthusiast,
Matt played on past Spirits
softball teams in competition
with other CFU lodge teams.
His wit, his pleasantness
and his boundless friendliness
will keep the memory of Mat
thew Radko long in our
hearts. The members of the
Spirits lodge join in this ex-
preston of deepest sympathy
to his wife, Catherine, daugh-
ters, Irene and June, and
brother Stephen.

his special Senate committee is
Just about through with its in
vestigation of lobbying.
He said there had been a
dearth of information from the
Eisenhower administration and
the public.
Senator Mcclellan disclosed
another administration turn
down-at least for the time be-
ing-of his request for the evil
dence of highly questionable"
industry activity cited by Presi-
dent Eisenhower in vetoing the
natural gas bill.
And he reported to newsmen
lack Of response from the
public, the press and from fell
low Senators to appeals for
information about lobbying &C
tivities.
OAAJ ASNRAACC ASCNNANN0
Senator Mcclellan said that OF
the SO Senators only AZ, counting
himself. had replied to COM
mittee QUESTIONABLE about lob
bVing. A public appeal to the
press. he said, Melted no replies.
Although some limited future
hearings are in prospect, he said
what's left in the 100000 in
quiry is mainly to find out the
weaknesses and try to develop a
better law" on lobbying.
The Arkansas Senator made
public a series of letters ex-
changed with administration Of
flcials concerning his request for
evidence" mentioned by Mr..
Eisenhower in connection with
his February veto of the bill to
free natural gas producers from
direct Federal controls.
Mr.. Eisenhower said he favored
the principle of the bill, but that
"a body Of evidence has accumu-
lated indicating that private per-
sons have been seeking to
further their own interests by
highly questionable activities"
Letter From Rogers
The latest letter to Senator
Mcclellan came from Deputy
Attorney General Williams P.
Rogers on October 3. 1t said
much of the available evil
dence" has already been publicly
aired in the row following the
disclosure of Senator Francis

kota. of a $500 campaign fund
offer from Superior Oil Co. of
California representatives before
the Senate vote on the gas bill.
Senator Cahe rejected the prof
erred contribution and voted
against the bill.
Mr.. Rogers said further that
since oil company Attorneys Ell
mer Patman and John M. Neff
are under indictment in the case.

son of Senator Bush, Republican
OF Connecticut. George Bush.
