department heads.

First to grant salary hikes
without the commissioners
approval was Probate Judge
Robert B. Ford. At the jan

Judge Ford said he had prom

Although the commission
ers appropriated the same
amount of money for each
department to operate thi S
year as they did last year,
department heads still could
increase salaries by spending
less for other items. It is
this path which Phillips and
the judge have chosen.

sorry for the commissioners
because "they are in the mid

right grant of $4,000 to st.

district Congressman Robert

arranged his visit here for
the festival. The two will
transfer to a smaller plane
for the trip to Chardon.
Main reason for Kennedy's
visit to Ohio this weekend
Is to speak at a large rally
In Akron Saturday night. 1t,
too, was arranged by Cook.
Although local democratic
leaders and festival officials
are not quite sure exactly
what the Massachusetts, SEN
ator will do when he arrives
in Chardon, they have a sche-
dule worked out which they
think he viii follow.
Kennedy is scheduled to
hold a press conference" at
las pm. at Chardon a ir-
port, with invitations having
gone out for this event to
most all area newspapers.
This part of Kennedy's vi
sit is being arranged b y
John Reithoffer, Geauga De-
mocratic chairman, who said
today the senator's visit here
is definitely not political. He
reported Kennedy will ans
wer such questions as "How
was your trip from Cleev-
land?" saving political blast
ing for the Saturday evening
meeting.

ther funds are required t o
carry out the statutory re-
quirements of that depart

Now therefore be it r e.

the foregoing reasons til e

not approve or sanction the

Two Indicted
In Art Fraud

NEW YORK, Dec. 4 (AP).-
Two Picasso paintings for
SITS, 900 each.
Sounds like a lot, doesn't it?
Especially since Pablo Picasso
himself says he has never seen
them before in his life.
Until recently you could have
bought the bogus Picassos,
along with many other fake
masterpieces, at an art gallery
on Madison avenue. Now the
two brothers who ran the gall
lery are charged with attempt
ed grand larceny, false labelling
and misleading advertising.
A grand jury returned a IS
count indictment yesterday
against Boris Lass. 64, and
Mark Lass, 81, who ran the
Re-Mi Gallery.
District Attorney Frank S.
Hogan said detectives seized
AZ paintings in the gallery and
2l2 in the brothers apartment
that were falsely tagged or
signed as originals of famous
painters. Among the names
used were Van Gogh, Gauguin,
Rembrandt, Duffy. Soutine,
Manet, Rouault, Cezanne and
Renoir.
Mr.. Hogan said the brothers
insisted the works were genuine
and worth $25 million. They
told Of feeling Russia in 1921
with the works, which they
said were collected by their
wealthy mother in tours of
Europe.
An investigator called the
paintings Studio sweepings
fraudulently represented as
originals"
Mr.. Hogan said the paintings
were pronounced false by art
experts from the Metropolitan
Museum of Art and the Museum
Of Modern Art.
Painters Unknown
He said he didn't know If
the brothers actually had sold
any of the paintings. 1--WE also
don't know where, when or by
whom the canvases were paint
ed or who forged the sigma
tures." he added.
He said photographs of two
OF the so-called picasso paint
ings were shown to Picasso, the
only living artist involved, in
France last month. Mr.. Picasso
said he had never seen them.
The Lass brothers are free
on $1,000 bail each pending
trial.

Cohen, 3 Cronies Held
In SIoying Of HoodIum

SHERMAN OAKS. Calf,
Dec. 4 (AP).-Mickey Cohen
and several cronies were locked
up today in the killing Of a
hoodlum.
Jack Whalen. Al, a bookie
known for brutality. was shot
in the head Wednesday night.
Cohen sat six feet away in the

Sear-old dancer-model, his
date: George Bart Piscateille,
alias George Perry, %, of Bev-
erly Hills, Calf, and Tony
Reno, 25, a singer also known
as Anthony Amereno.
The bookings admittedly were
intended to give police a chance
to question the prisoners at
length. Cohen denied any part
In the killing.
Varying Stories
Stories of the killing varied
widely. But they agreed on one
thing:
Whalen was roughing UP a
man who presumably owed a
gambling debt.
Police were told the dead
man visited several bars, ap-
parently looking for someone.
He was repeatedly out to collect
a 5000 gambling debt.
Cohen, an ex-bigtime bookie
and an ex-convict, has wit
messed many gangland slay-
ing-some of them aimed at
him. He personally shot and
killed rival gambler Make
Shaman in l945, he told police,
claiming self defense. He was
cleared.
Cohen said he was alone ex-
cept for his dog. Mickey Junior,
