Plum Hollow so far during he
PG\ chamoionship and it’s )ust as
well for the purses of xhe guys
who think they know something
about golf. . . . Just try to figure
the odds on Art Bell coming
through in a quarter that included
Ben Hogan, Bobby - Locks, Sam
Snead, Dick Metz, and Gene Sara
ze n—even though Art has a prettv
good record in this tourney. . . .
Off the records, Vic Ghezzi, who
has won the PGA and tied for the
top in the 1946 open only to lose in
a double playoff, should be a
cinch. Off this tourney’s record of
what has happened to champicnv.
Vic hasn’t a chance. ... If had
to pick one now, we’d pick the re
formed Australian, Jim Farrier
because he has beaten four sound
golfers already while the others
all have had some soft spots.

Peratrovich said before his de

amount to be paid Indians from
timber revenues under so-called

He added that Indians in the

they will provide fuller employ

Brownell Registers
As Lobbyist
<(/P> Special Washington Service*
WASHINGTON. </P*—Don Car
los Brownell, a member of the
Alaskan Senate, said Saturday he
had registered as a Congressional
lobbyist because of his activities
here to try to save the town of
Seward from extinction.
Brownell told a reporter that
friends said he should register un
der the lobbyist act since he has
been here 63 days trying to influ
ence Congress to pass legislation
which he says is needed to keep
Seward from being left without
land tra^portation to the remain
der of Alaska.
The Alaska Railroad which for
merly had its terminus at Seward
and which led to the establishment
of the town of 1,700 persons, plans
to abandon its- line south of Cook
Inlet and has established a ter
minus on the Inlet. This would
leave Seward without ground
transportation.
Plans for an $11,000,000 road
from Seward to connect with the
Alaska highway system now are
before the budget bureau and
1 Brownell said he expected the
. bureau would ask Congress short
] ly to approve the expenditure.
1 The Senate appropriations com
mittee in approving the interior
depa rtment appropriation bill
wrote into its report a clause re
quiring the Alaska railorad to
continue to serve Seward for two
years, or until the road is com
pleted.
Brownell, former mayor of Sew
ard, said he was told he must give
an itemized account of all of his
expenses while here and who pays
them and his salary. He said thfe
last question is easy, for it is ex
actly nothing.
Gambler Slain
By Gangsters
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (/P)—
! Gangland bullets late Friday night
I snuffed out the life of Benjamin
j (Bugsie) Siegel, 41 year old gam
bler and one-time public enemy,
as he sat quietly in a home here
reading a newspaper.
Police Capt. William W. White
said an unidentified gunman
sneaked up to an open window
shortly after Siegel and a party of
friends returned from dining at an
j ocean park beach, and fired
through the curtains.
At least four shots entered the
body of Siegel as he sat reading
the paper on a divan. Beside him
■sat one of the guests, Allen Smiley
well known sporting world figure
here.
I heard the glass scattering and
I ducked,” Captain White quoted
Smiley. “I don’t know how many
shots were fired, but when I
looked at Siegel, I could see he
had taken most of them.”
Siegel who, White said, had
been active in the sporting world
in this area for about ten years,
once was designated a “public en
emy” by Governor Thomas E.
Dewey of New York while the lat
ter was district attorney there.
The slain man was a witness
before a New York* grand .jury
that investigated former public
enemy No. 1, Louis (Lepke) Buc
halter, racketeer and erstwhile
head of New York’s Murder, Inc.,
who later was electrocuted at Sing
Sing prison.

Two More Bills Up
For Truman.Veto
WASHINGTON (£»)—Two more
controversial bills, for which op
ponents have urged Presidential,
vetoes reached the White House
Saturday.
The • measures, dealing with
tariffs and price support for wo >1
and extending rent controls, were
passed after stormy Congressional
debate.
Th^ wool ual authorizes the
President to increase wool tariffs
or impose import limits whenever
foreign wool shipments endanger
the domestic price support pro
gram for wool. The bill extends
the support rrogram through 1948.
The second measure extends
federal rent control until March 1,
1948, and permit an increase in
rents as much as 15 per cent if
landlords and tenants agree on a
lease running through next year.
Rent bill proponents believe the
President will sign the measure,
though perhaps reluctantly, be
cause otherwise there will be no
federal controls after July 1 when
the present law expires. •
The White House said the Pres
ident has until midnight, July 2,
to act on both bills.
