iff Russell Brown said last
night that the results of a lie
detector test apparently cleared
David Bush, 18, in the fatal
shooting of his mother.
Sheriff Brown said: "In the
opinion of William Abernathie,
the polygraph operator of the
State Division of Criminal
Investigation, the boy is telling
the truth. I am convinced the
boy is innocent"
' The sheriff added that Mr..
Abernathie wanted to study the
results of the lie detector test
several more days before reach
ing a definite conclusion in
the death of Mrs. Lavaughn
Bush, 43, and the wounding
of her daughter, Carol, 13, in
their home in Gillespie, Ill.

been suicide and attempted
murder rather than homicide.

Gambler Costello
Loses Round in
Deportation Fiqht
BY the Associated Press

Frank Costello, New York
gambler and underworld figure,
has lost another battle in his
1O-year fight to keep from be-
ing deported to his native Italy.
The Board of immigration
Appeals yesterday upheld a de-
portation order against h m
growing out of his conviction
of income tax charges.
The dapper, 70-year-old Co.'S
tello had asked the board to
overrule a special inquiry Of
ficer's order June 81 that he
be sent to Italy.
The boards action can be
appealed to the United States
Court of Appeals and to the
Supreme Court eventually.
Before he was released last
June from a five-year sentence
for income tax evasion, Cos
tello was served with an order
asking him to show cause why
he should not be deported.
Costello has fought the de-
portation proceedings to the
Supreme Court, arguing that he
was immune because of his
status as an American citizen
at the time of his conviction.
He was naturalized in 1925.
The Justice Department be-
gan action in 1852 when it
filed a suit to cancel his citi-
zenship on grounds he con-
cealed facts about his arrest
record at the time he was
naturalized.
The Supreme Court last
February 20 affirmed a Federal
district court order stripping
him of citizenship.

Win Over Warriors

San Francisco (ANP) - The
Chicago zephyrs won their first
National Basketball League game
over the San Francisco Warriors
last week as Big Walt Bellamy
held Wilt Chamberlain to 81 points
while also scoring 81 before a scant
crowd Of 1858, the smallest home
turnout of the season.
The 81 points total was the Big
Dipper's smallest score of the sea-
son. The 7-foot-plus Chamberlain
is the NBA scoring champion. But
last week he looked anything but
a world beater as Bellamy, former
Indiana university All-American
and 1861 NBA rookie-of -the-year,
dogged him all over the floor.
With Bellamy playing sensational
basketball, the Zephyrs scored
their first victory over the War
riors since the Chicago team en-
tered the NBA two years ago.
The zephyrs also dealt the War
riors their sixth consecutive de-
feat. The former Philadelphia War
riors, at that point, also had lost
eight out of their last nine games.

New drugs against hyperion

- began to appear in 1858. AS
a result the death rate from
high blood pressure declined 20
per cent from 1852 to 1859.
Except for reserpine, an anci-

Pierre, S. D. - A regional sec
retary Of the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People (NAACP) said the South
Dakota legislature should get in
line" by approving a Public Ac-
commodations Law next year.
Leonard H. Carter, Kansas City,
Mo-, said South Dakota was way
behind" in view Of its north-cen-
trail geographical position. Carter
said South Dakota Negroes would
present evidence at a hearing
Tuesday, that they have had "a
good deal Of trouble the past few
years"
There is a continuous problem
Of discrimination" in Rapid City,
SD, where Ellsworth Air Force
Base is situated, Carter said.
The South Dakota Advisory
Committee to the us. Civil Rights
Commission will hold a public
hearing at Rapid City to deter
mine whether the discrimination
charges are true or nothing more
than hearsay."
Carter said the state admins
tration should be concerned with
this type Of a practice that ad-
versely affects a number Of its
citizens"
Oliver e. Laymon, chairman of
the South Dakota Advisory Coun-
Gil, said he anticipated that we're
going to get a lot of testimony
and a lot of nationwide unfavora-
BILE publicity"
Airman 3rd Glass Joseph Rich
ardson, chairman of the Rapid
City branch of the NAACP which
claims 22O members, said at least
10 airmen will present written
and notarized affidavits attesting
to incidents of racial discrimina-
ton"
He said known racial discrim-
ination" exists in most Rapid City
barber shops, motels, restaurants
and bars.
II feel that the vast majority
of the people in South Dakota are
liberal minded" Richardson said,
but the legislators have a tenden-
cy to . . try to cover up the fact
that there is, in fact, discrimina-
ton"
Gov. Archie Gubbrud said he
would pass judgment on Public
Accommodation Law whe2 see
it," He said it was a little pre-
mature of the NAACP to criticize
the legislature one month before it
meets"
State Sen. Robert Hirsch blamed
present controversies over alleged
discrimination on a New York
Times dispatch last October.
Those clowns back there should
look in their own back yard first.
There's more discrimination in a
few blocks of New York City than
In all of South Dakota" Hirsch
said.
