Arrest Six Persons In Basketball Fix
New York. (U.P.)—An $11,000 basketball bribe scandal, the biggest of four discovered in six years, ripped the sports world open today with the arrest of five players and a former convict.
Three of the players—six-foot, seven-inch Ed Roman, Negro ace Ed Warner, and guard Al "Fats," Roth—were members of the National College Champion City College of New York team which last season astounded basketball fans by winning two national post-season tournaments. Police said they have admitted taking bribes ranging from $500 per game to $1,500 per game.
The other players were Harvey "Connie" Seaff of New York University, and former captain Edward Gard of Long Island university. The former convict, described by police as the "pay off" man, was 45-year-old Salvatore Sollazo, a well-to-do jewelry store owner who lives in
the same swanky apartment house as Frank Costello, reputed king of the underworld.
In Washington, Sen. Estes Kefauver, D., Tenn., said his crime investigating committee, which called Costello as a witness in a New York hearing last week, had been investigating the C.C.N.Y. basketball case "for some time." He said the committee probably will air details of the basketball scandal at public hearings in New York next month, at which Costello is scheduled to be a star witness.
A New York grand jury will begin an investigation of the case "early this week."
Must Send Troops To Europe To Save The US Says Collins
Washington (U.P.)—Gen. J. Lawton Collins, army chief of staff, said today that U.S. troops must be sent to Europe to keep war "as far as practicable from our shores."
The nation, he said, cannot depend for survival on air and sea power alone but must help Europe build up adequate ground forces to stave off a possible Communist attack.
5 Geologists To Institute
Five members of the State Geological survey at the University of Kansas will attend the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical engineers in St. Louis today and Tuesday.

Earl Nixon, geologist with the survey, will be co-chairman of a session on mineral economics and industrial minerals. Robert Kulstad, geologist with the survey, will attend various sessions at the meeting.

"From a strictly military standpoint, I would say without question that we should do everything in our power to prevent the overrunning of Western Europe if we are to prevent later attacks against the United States itself."
Although they did not name them, General Collins and Admiral Sherman apparently were answering the views of former president Herbert Hoover and Republican Sens. Robert A. Taft, Ohio, and Kenneth S. Wherley, Neb., who favor limiting the number of troops that can be sent abroad.
Adm. Forrest P. Sherman, chief of naval operations, claimed the United States is "doomed to defeat" if it abandons its European allies and seeks to survive by intercontinental air warfare.
He said he is convinced that Western Europe can be defended and that U.S. allies there "have the will to resist and the common incentive to contribute to a common defense."
Without adequate ground troops, he said, the Communists could not be stopped "no matter what air and sea power we could bring against them."
General Collins told a joint meeting of the senate foreign relations and armed services committees:
Admiral Sherman, who also testified at the hearings, said S.Ground troops must be used with sea and air strength to move the defense line "as far as possible from home."

The Anglo-American units advanced to the hills overlooking the Han river and eliminated virtually all of the pocket in the area, southeast of Seoul.
Maryann Goodwin, Margaret Hazard, Janice Horn, Althea Owen, Jo Anne Putney, Veda Russell, Patricia Salyer, Marilyn Ruth Smith G. Sue Swartz, and George Thomas. Joan Squires is the only freshman on the honor roll.
Fifty-two students of the School, of Education comprise the honor roll for the fall semester George B. Smith, dean of the School of Education, announced today.
To their right, American troops drove to high ground five miles south of the river and overlooking its valley. They sent patrols edging closer to the Han, while other units moved to a point six miles north-northeast of Kyongan. Kyongan is 18 miles southeast of Seoul.
In the Cheonham area, enemy forces earlier had pushed spearheads within four and five miles of the town and battles were waged in at least five places. The Communists had

been seeking a weak spot to stab through with one or two divisions they were believed to have in the area, plus a buildup of possibly seven divisions farther north.
On the east coast South Korean forces pulled back to the Kangnun area 20 miles south of the 38th parallel, which they had reached earlier. The withdrawal was described at Eighth Army headquarters as part of a line-straightening move necessitated by the enemy's central front drive over the past few days.
United Press correspondent Rutherford Poats reported from Eighth Army headquarters that Communist troops on the central now had "disappeared" before Allied troops advancing westward out of Chipyong, which is west of Wonju.
London (U.P.)—Britain will warn Russia and her satellites that an attack on Yuzoslavia might start World War III, informed sources said today.
The unopposed activities of the 9th corps indicated the Communists had withdrawn completely from the west central sector.
Attack On Tito May Bring War
Either Prime Minister Clement Attlee or Minister of State Kenneth Younger is expected to make the warning in the house of commons later this week.
It will coincide with current discussions with the U.S., the commonwealth countries and France on what joint steps could be taken in the immediate future to deter any move planned by the Kremlin against Yugoslavia.
The warnings probably will mention that aggression against Tito's army would be a case similar to South Korea, as was pointed out last week by Secretary of State Dean Acheson.
Politicians and strategists here now consider Yugoslavia of greater over-all and direct strategic interest to the west than Korea.
Census Figures Increase
Washington (U.P.)-The census bureau estimated the population of the United States today at 153,085,000 as of Jan. 1 This represents an increase of 1,953,000, or 1.3 per cent, over the decennial census of April 1, 1550.
Ex-Student In Korea Longs For Letters
A former University student with the marines in Korea wrote this letter to the editor of the University Daily Kansan asking for correspondence from any University student:
February 7.1951
Dear Sir:
Crying in my beer, if I had a beer, I sit longing for just one word from old K.U.
I had the dubious fortune to have been in the marine corp reserve. Now, as I sit here in Korea, I am wondering if there is some kind soul who will take pity on a poor ole marine and write a letter or two.
I am enclosing 1000 won to be placed as an account for my ad. I am sending this money from the Bank of Korea since American money is forbidden over here and I don't have any on me.
The fair sex will be given first consideration on answer, but all letters will be answered.
yours,

Russia Invited To Plan Agenda
The invitation was contained in identical notes delivered by the American, British and French ambassadors in Moscow to the Soviet foreign office. The text of the notes will be published Tuesday.
Paris—(U,P)—The three Western powers asked Soviet Russia today to participate in a preliminary meeting in Paris on Monday, March 5. to discuss an agenda for the proposed Big Four foreign ministers' conference.
Informed French sources said, however, the three Western powers asked that the scope of the conference be broadened to allow joint study of causes behind the present international tension.
Russia has insisted that the conference be limited to the question of Germany and the alleged rearmament of western Germany by the Allies.
The Western notes countered with the charge that Russia already has armed the eastern European satellites far beyond the level permitted in the peace treaties.
The western notes delivered to the Kremlin today refuted Soviet charges made Feb. 6 that rearmament of western Germany is under way.
Informed sources said the Western notes sharply protested the Soviet charges as "unjust" but left the door open to further discussion.
The March 5 conference in Paris would be held by the foreign ministers' deputies.

One-Act Comedies To Be Presented
"Moonshine," the second play, is directed by William Sollner. It is a riotous, hill-billy comedy in which the revenuer matches his wits against the brawn of the moon-shriner. Bill Dickinson and Bill Childers appear in this play.
