Bicycles Play Major Role In Life of Police Detective

MoN'm.aiAL. (CP) — cycling seems to have been the pre-deter- mined career of George Graves.

was fired.
Graves began racing competi- tively a few years later in 1934. about the same time he joined the
the annual Quebec-Montreal mars.- thon. a feat he repeated in 1946.
In mason he won the 50-mils Canadian championships at Ot- tawa and rode off with national honors in the 100-mue .race at Hamilton.
Lodi. NJ. was the site of iiht American lo0—kllo.metre champion- ship in 1938 and Graves captured the winner's trophy there. At the British Empire Games in Aus- tralia the same year, however. he failed to show among the top competitors.
In an interview, Graves said he einpects Canadian cyclists to do well at the games at Vancouver.
"We will probably have a. full team since the lack of heavy tra- veiling expenses will enable more cyclists to attend. And the more entrants the more chances of win- hing."
Graves said his role at the games will be more of a. watchdog than a coach.
"I won't try to change the racers style for the games. But I will see they get out and prac- tlce, get plenty of sleep and eat regular meals.
“I'll probabw get out on the track myself to shed s. few of the 70 pounds I've put on since I stopped racing competitively a few years ago." the husky 250-pound- cr said.

Meyer Tribunal
OTTAWA. (GP)-— Two members of the five-man tribunal which rec- ommended commutation of the life sentence of German SS Mai.-Gen. Kurt Meyer to 14 years were Ger- mans, the government disclosed Wednesday.
The information was given in a parliamentary return tabled in the Commons for Colin Cameron (CCF —Nanaimo).
Meyer. 43, was convicted Dec. II. i945, by a Canadian court-ma.rt- ial of inciting his troops to deny quarter to Allied soldiers and of responsibility in the mass shoot- ings ol la Canadian prisoners.
He was originally sentenced to death but this was reduced to life imprisonment. Defence Minister Claxton announced Jan. 16 that this his term was being reduced to 14 years. With time off for good behaviour, Meyer can be released from prison in the British Zone of Germany as early as Sept. '1 this year.
The Bonn Convention, signed by the United Kingdom. the United States and France on one hand and Germany on the other. pro- vided for a six-member board to review sentences of war criminals. The board was to comprise three Germans and one member from each of the occupying powers,
However, this agreement has not yet come into effect and the oc- cupying powers and Germany agreed to establish interim trib- unals to review sentences of war criminals held in each zone.
The board established in the British zone Sept. 1. 1953. com- prised five members appointed by the British high commissioner. Tws oi them were nominated by the West German government.

(By Alvin llohkopf)
LONE»! (AP) — Prince Char- les was proclaimed today by Tailor and Cutter to be the world's bOUIrdl'9IIOd gentleman.
The five-year-old prince squeez- ed out his father, the Duke Edlnbllfju, WhO ll not placed il- mong the 10 men named the best dressers. There is an impression in Seville row, where tailors dic- tate men's fashion. that Tailor and Cutter is provoked with the duke because he sometimes goes bsrehesded.
Tailor and Cutter is the maga- zine which in Britain is a. mighty and caustic authority on fashion.
has scolded presidents and prime ministers for slovenly dress. and has praised miners for the snappy cut of their overalls.
Once a year the magazine se- lects the 10 men it regards as leaders of male fashlon_ and this year Charles leads all the rest. Last year he was just in the list.
Praises our
The prince was commended for his baby bow tie. the fawn stalker cap a variation of the deer slai- ker and his partiality to double- bressted top costs. He is praised for wearing an ordinary cloth cap with distinction.
"The cloth cap should always be moulded to a curved-peak ef- fect." Tailor and Cutter said. "His velvet-colored top coat. too. fol- lows in popular current trend."
After the prince the top-flight dressers. in order. are: Harold Macmillan. British health mini- ster: Rena Mnsslcli. French sm- bssssdor to London; Stewart Granger: Fr:-rl Astaire; Harry Honkinson. British minister of state for colonies: Porfirio Rubiross. Barbara I-lutton's most recent husband: Captain Cecil Boyd-Rochfort, trainer of Queen Elisabeth's horses; Alan Wheatlev. British television actor and sir Hartley Shawcross. Socialist mem- ber of Parliament.
Such a dbtinguishsd team of dressers. the magazine believed. should have a substitute to step in. should one of the first 10 be caught some day with baggy knees. For this reserve spot Tailor and Cutter named heavyweight champion Rocky Marciano.
"Marciano has taken a sudden interest in British styles," the magazine said. "That boy could go a long way."

“Spook" Jacobs Argument Against Draii Sysl_em
By Jack Hand
WEST PALM BEACH. Fla. (AP) -Jbrrut (Spook) Jaoobs. Philadel- phia. Athletics’ rookie seoond base- man. probably is the No. 1 argu- ment against baseball's current draft system.
Because boys like the 28-year- old Jacobs often knock around I. vast major league farm system for years without getting a chance at the majors. commissioner Ford Prick recently named a major- mlnor committee to revise the draft rules.
Jacobs. for eight years a Brook- lyn farmhsnd, doesn't blame the Dodgers. “They have too many players," he said. He knew he was overshadowed by men like Jackie Robinson and Junior Gilliam. But he does think he could have been
playing in the majors for two years. “For three years I was on the
Montreal list during the winter but I never even saw Montreal." he said.
Brooklyn and other clubs with wide minor league holdings, often load the choice dr-affable talent on
newspaper complained. ‘
“This situation obtains in Brit- ain alone in the Western world and applies to newspapers alone in Britain. Even in Germany there is no newsprint rationing."
The newsprint supply board has put the figure required to abolish rationing at approximately 100.000
tons s. year, the Telegraph con- tlnued. “Accordingly, the board lately
requested government authority to contract for that amount next year. together with an interim authority for 25,000 tons this year to maintain the present ration until the end of 1954. Totally Unsatisfactory
"Yesterday. the government an- nounced agreement to the latter request; as for next year .the level of permitted imports must be left for consideration in the autumn. The reply is equally and totally unsatisfactory and consistent. What has characterized almost all chan- ges, under every government. is procrastination."
The Telegraph pointed out that the Canadian suppliers, from whom half the 100,000 tons required to end rationing would come. were demanding four-year contracts.
"By failure to make up its mind now the government is ensuring that if and when it does decide to allow increased imports the supply will by then have been sold else- where."
Siriking N. 7. Dock Workers ! Continue Bailles
NEW YORK. (AP)—-Mayor Rob- crt Wagner pledged police protcc- tion Thursday for any back-to—‘ work movement on New York's strike-bound waterfront. If there aren't enough police, he said, he will ask state or federal reinforce- ments. i However, the mayor added: "We expect to be able to do it ourselves." I Wagner acted as rival dockers‘ battled hand to hand in Brooklyn for the third day in a row. one man was seriously in] ed as pickets tried to tip over a uck. i Members of the old Interna- tional Longshoremenh Association‘ (Ind) have waged a wildcat wat-V eriront strike for two weeks in a‘ demand for recognition as bar- gaining agent for 24.000 New York dockers.
Rivnl AFL longshorcmen trying to work the piers have been met in battle by ILA pickets.
Answer Army Call
On Thursday 500 Am. men de- fied fist-swinging ILA pickets to sign up as civil service workers at the Brooklyn army base. The army is recruiting dockers on an emer- gency basls to get ships moving overseas with military cargoes for Europe and Indo-china.
British FEET ‘ Is Critical Of Newsprint Policy
LONDON. (Reuters) -— The Daily. Telegraph Saturday bitterly cnti-1 ciaed the government's policy overi newsprint rationing and said its "procrastination" ensured that, if increased imports were allowed, Canadian supplies would by then! have been sold elsewhere.

one farm club roster. Under the current rules, only one can be lost in any one draft period. They finally lost Jacobs last year to the Phillies.
‘'1 lost all hopes of getting to the majors on the Brooklyn club after they picked up Gilliam," said Jac- obs. “The draft was my only chance."
Last season he hit .282 at Fort Worth in the Texas League. He averages about 20 stolen bases a year.
