school involves the 7th and 8th
graders, the Mustangs who will
be turning out for the coming
basketball season.
From the tentative lineup of
players, the team this yeor looks
pretty strong, with 15 boys signed
up. The Mustangs will have speed,
some height, a strong bench and
will offer a little comedy.
The first big practice is sched
uled for Saturday morning. A ter
rific series of games is being
planned against some of Coach
Hahn’s most talented freshmen
The players turning out for the
and sophomores.
Mustangs this year from the 8th

The biggest groan for the class
is the study of the Civil War in
history. It seems the biggest dif
ficulties are learning which gen

what fight of a particular cam
paign.

Grand Jury
Indicts Grunewald
On 22 Charges
WASHINGTON, (/P)—A federal
grand jury Thursday indicted
Henry W. (the Dutchman) Grune
wald, shadowy man-nbout-Wash
ington, on 22 charges of contempt
of Congress.
Grunewald’s name flitted in I
and out of the sensation-packed '
hearings last year by a House •
committee that was investigating j
tax frauds.
Grunewald finally tvas called as
a witness last January, but de
clined to answer any questions.
About all the investigators
got out of him in five sessions
was the statement: “I was bom
in 1392.” He declined on advice
of counsel to say where he was
bom or talk about anything in
volving him since that date.
Thursday’s indictment charged
among other things that Grune
wald refused to tell the House
Ways and Means Subcommittee,
headed by Rep. King (D-Calif)
what officials of the Internal |
Revenue Bureau he knew, and |
whether he had ever discussed
any tax cases pending in that
bureau.
Grunewald, if convicted on each
count of the indictment, would
be subject to maximum penalties
of 22 years in prison or $22,000
fine, or both.
The matter the King committee
particularly wanted to explore
with Grunewald was the story
told by Abraham Tietelbaum,
Chicago lawyer und one - time
counsel for Capone interests.
Tietelbaum swore to the inves
tigators that an attempt was made
to shake him down for $500,000
under a threat that he would have
bad tax troubles if he didn’t pay
the sum.
Tietelbaum said Frank Nathan,
a Pittsburgh promoter, and Bert
K. Naster, a Florida businessman,
sought the money and told him
they were in cahoots with a group
of Washington officials who were
looking for “soft touches.”
Tietelbaum said too that he re
ceived a telephone call from a
man who identified himself as
“Mr. Watson” and who told him
he had better “play along” with
Nathan and Naster. He said this
man had a gutteral voice.
Nathan and Naster took the
witness chair and denied there
was any truth in Tietelbaum’s
story.

1948 Candidates, Dewey
And Truman, Campaign
For 1952 Candidates
(By the Associated Press)
The presidential candidates of
1948 were blasting away again
Thursday but this time to help
1952 standard bearers Gov. Adlai
Stevenson and Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower, who weren’t even in
national politics four years ago.
President Truman, w'nistlestop
ping toward Washington through
the industrial areas of West Vir
ginia, Pennsylvania and Mary
land, lashed out at what he said
were Republican anti-labor poli
cies, much as he did in the last
compaign.
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, accom
panying Eisenhower across his
home state of New York, was re
versing his 1948 technique which
some called too mild by bitterly
criticizing Truman, using such
words as “unholy, filthy, stink
ing.”
