Senate Group to
Probe Teamsters
In Scranton, Pa.
WASHINGTON, UPC-S enate
rackets probers said today they
will explore more deeply into al
leged payoffs to teamsters union
officials in Scranton, Pa.
One question intriguing them is
whether—if you can’t jail them
both—the giver should be prose- |
cuted.
The Justice Department has ob- 1
tained federal indictments accus
ing three business agents of
Scranton Teamsters Local 229 of
receiving illegal payoffs from
business firms.
The Senate committtee that is
conducting the inquiry has or
dered its staff to ask why no
charges were brought against any
of the companies of their officials.
“We are going to find out why j
they were not prosecuted,” Chair
man McClellan told reporters. “It
is something we ought to find
out.”
A pragmatic explanation came
from Oliver Dibble, the special
federal prosecutor in charge of
the Scranton case.
“If we indicted both men in
such cases,” he told newsmen in
Scranton, “we wouldn’t be able
to make one testify against the
other,” and he added:
“The grand jury decides which
one is, so to speak, the more guil
ty and returns the indictment
against him. Then the other serves
as a witness.”
CASES SCHEDULED
AND PENDING IN
U.S. DISTRICT COURT
The next cases scheduled in
District Court are civil cases, the
first of which will be heard on
May 8 and is the case of Jennie
Martin Frazier vs. Claude Ander
son and George Hite in a suit for
damages.
Other civil cases pending are:
Robert Oliver, trustee, for the
estate of Alaska Tankers, Inc.,
bankrupt, vs. the M & M Bank
for $15,077.95. The suit is con
cerning payments involved with
debts of another company.
Paul Mandeville vs. Northern
Paint Co. for $2,046.74 for board
and room of its employees. The
last known address of this com
pany was Fairbanks.

Newspaper Reports That
Hoodlums Running Wild
In Prince George, B.C.
VANCOUVER, B.C., OP) — The
Province says hoodlums appear to
be running wild in Prince George,
B.C., and there has been a de
mand for the resignation of the
city’s only police magistrate.
The newspaper says the attor
ney - general’s department is in
vestigating the situation at the
request of Mayor John Morrison.
A school principal is reported
to have said his staff has been
threatened and students beaten
up.
Six citizens, who asked to re
main anonymous so their children
would not be beaten, seek the
resignation of Police Magistrate
P. J. Moran, the paper says, be
cause the magistrate “couldn’t
handle the situation any more.”
They say measures taken against
gangs of hoodlums are not se
vere enough.
A citizen’s committee told dep
uty Attorney - General Gilbert
Hogg that several gang leaders
are easily identifiable by their
duck-tail haircuts and black
windbreakers, the Province says.
High School To
Present Mystery
Thursday, April 25
The high school will present a
three-act mystery-comedy, “The
Eyes of Tlaloc” on Thursday,
April 25.
Out of the mysteries of the Az
tec race, their beliefs and wor
ship, comes the motivation for
this unusual and fascinating mys
tery.
The scene is laid in southern
Arizona, close to the land of the
Aztecs and the Spaniards. In John
Wayne’s ranch house is a large
and vivid figure of the Aztec god,
Tlaloc, whose eyes gleam out
through the shadows and whose
wail pierces the storm at inter
vals throughout the night.
It is a strange group of people
who come under the influence of
his watchful eyes. What brings
them here? What causes Tlaloc’s
tempest?
Archaeologists have found many
secrets in this colorful land, and
who knows how many more there
may be? All are interested in its
hidden knowledge. A treasure
box, a secret passage—they may
mean wealth, they may mean
honor. All are sufficient motives
for the strange happenings in this
lonely ranch house, from which
the host and owner is missing.
Be sure to save the date —
Thursday, April 25! Since no chil
dren will be admitted to the per
formance, a free nursery will be
available to parents with small
available to those who cannot
find baby sitters that night.
