GANGLAND KILLERS ELUDE POLICE
NEW YORK, Iff)—Gangland si
lence cloaked the killers of Albert
Anastasia Saturday as plans went
(forward for a modest, non-under
world type of funeral for the one
time Murder, Inc., executioner.
Police questioned more than 60
hoodlums and others—without re
sult—about the slaying of the
mobster by two gunmen Friday
as he sat in a barber chair.
“I never saw so many blind
people in my life,” commented
Chief of Detectives James B. Leg
get. “Nobody knows anything.”
Costello Absent
Police wanted to question gam
bier Frank Costello, known as the
prime minister of the underworld,
but he was not in his usual plushy
haunts.
The body of the underworld
bigwig went on public display in
a plain, steel, $900 casket in a
Brooklyn funeral home that can
I seat 125 morners.
The modest arrangements con
i trasted sharply with the funeral
; given last year for Anastasia’s
i brother Joseph, a pier hiring boss
; who died peacefully in a hospital,
: of illness.
The casket that carried Joseph
i to his grave was built of bronze
- j
and mahogany and reputedly cost j
$6,000.
Campaign Issue
The barber shop shooting raised j
political overtones in the city,
which will vote in a mayoralty
election a week from tomorrow.
Robert Christenberry, Republi
can candidate seeking to unseat
Mayor Robert F. Wagner, Demo
crat, seized upon the slaying as a
campaign issue.
This gangland murder, com
bined with the wounding of Cos
tello in an assassination attempt
earlier this year, and the acid
blinding of labor writer Victor
Riesel last year “demonstrated
the underworld scorn for law and
order as administered by the
Wagner-Tammany administration.”
"Full-Scale Civil War"
“There no longer can be any
doubt,” said Christenberry, “that
the forces of organized crime are
now engaged in a full-scale civil
war being waged in the streets of
New York over the selection of a
successor to Frank Costello as
prime minister of the under
world.”
Wagner, in his campaigning,
made no reference to the killing.

Brownies Kickoff
Party Saturday
Was Real Lively
«/
The Brownie kickoff party on
Saturday drew a turnout of 56
high-spirited little girls to the
Boy Scout hall. Brownie Scout
leaders present could not give a
completely accurate count be
cause the energy and activity of
their small guests gave an im
pression of at least twice that
number.
, The girls began by ..crayoning
bright designs on their own paper
napkins. Prizes were awarded for
the two prettiest napkins to San
dra Osborne and Iva Sockpick,
and for the two funniest designs
to Ruth Ann Emmons and Helena
Dimmick.
Next, the youngsters paired off
for a “Squirrel in the Tree” game
and then proceeded with a bal
loon relay race, which generated
so much excitement that it nearly
broke up the party. Some of the
tinier girls found they could not
break a balloon merely by sitting
on it and their team-mate’s frantic
advice from the sidelines rose to
near fever pitch.
Nancy Gray was the winner of
a game called “Magic Carpet,”
object of which was to avoid
being caught standing on a draw
ing of a jack-o-lantem when the
music studdenly stopped.
The girls ended the party with
a hilarious “old clothes race,”
each Brownie tearing madly
down the length of the hall in
clothes and shoes that must have
belonged to older Boy Scout
brothers.
Halloween cupcakes and Kool
aid were provided by mothers
and Brownie leaders.
The leaders present were: Nel
da Liebig, Evelyn Langhus, Ade
line Ullrich, Agnes Walsh, Betty
Walsh, and Roberta Ross. All
were gratified at the enthusiastic
response of the little girls and
hope that other women will be
interested enough to offer assist
ance with the unexpectedly Large
number of girls.

j Army Reassigns
‘Mathematical Genius'
From Clerk-Typist Job
WASHINGTON, UP>—'The Army
has reassigned Pvt. Ernest E.
Shult, a mathematician who has!
been working as a clerk-typist, to j
other work at the chemical cen- ’
ter at Edgewood Arsenal, Md.
Professor Carl C. Lindegren,
director of biological research at
Southern Illinois University, ear
lier in the week had protested
against assignment to a clerk
typist job of Shult, whom he de
scribed as an “outstanding math
ematical genius.
Schult made no protest.
Shult, drafted last April, did
not receive a college degree be
cause he lacked one hour’s credit
in physical education. The Army
said Saturday it had been un
aware of his talent “since Pvt.
Shult has no baccalaureate degree
and neither he nor his record in
dicated his special training.”
The Army said his talents can
be “more effectively utilized” at
'his new job.
