Area Chapter Is Newly Organized Cystic Fibrosis Chapter Formed At a meeting of the newly-organ-ized area chapter of the National Cystic Fibrosis research foundation, in Fort Wayne, Dr. Robert Keyes described symptoms and diagnosis of the incurable disease. The Fdrt Wayne chapter, wh.ch also serves the Decatur area, was recently organized to raise money for research and to educate the public regarding this disease, which takes the lives of many children each year. Cystic fibrosis affects the lungs and pancreas, causing the formation of a thick mucus which tends to clog the lungs and pancreas, In the lungs this thick mucus becomes a breeding place for infection and the pancreas fails to digest food properly without the aid of Medicines. Additional literature from the national reseach foundation was available to those present. This may also be obtained through the local chapter, at 1399 Scott Avenue, For Wayne, according to Mrs. Mernon Reinking, publicity cochairman, of Fort Wayne.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Seek Senate's Restoration Os Slash In Funds l ’ ■- •>’ Backers Os Foreign i Aid In Battle For Fund Restoration WASHINGTON (UPD-Senate supporters of President Eisenhower’s foreign aid program began a determined fight with administration backing today to restore at least part of Housd cuts in money for the program. However, they faced firm opposition from many members of the Senate Appropriations Committee. The administration sent Undersecretary of State C. Douglas Dillion, the State Department’s top economic official, to open its plea before a closed door hearing of ’ the committee. Dillon will be followed Wednesday by Defense Secretary Neil H. ’ McElroy and Gen. Nathan F. Twining, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Die administration wants the Senate to restore the full $3,675,592,500 authorized by Congress ■ last month. In its original appropriation re-quest-sent to the House before the authorization ceiling was fixed —the administration asked $3,950,092.500. The House cut this by 872 million dollars to a total of $3,078,092.500 despite strong pleas by Eisenhower. Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson (Texas), a member of the Appropriations Committee, predicted Monday the Senate would restore part of the House cut and Congress eventually would work out an "acceptable” bill. However such critics of the program as Sen. Alen J. Elender (D-La ), also a committee member, remained outspoken in opposition. Elender said he felt there still was plenty of room in the bill for cutting. Also he said the administration must learn ‘that they cannot receive what they want by merely crying ‘wolf ”, The committee, headed by Sen. Carl Hayden (D-Ariz.L expects to hold hearings for about 10 days. Suspended Sentence To Woman Embezzler LEBANON, Ind. (UPD — Mrs. Helen C.

Says Hoodlums Infiltrate In Chicago Unions Crime Commission Head Testifies To Rackets Committee ‘ WASHINGTON (UPI — Virgil ’ Peterson, director of the Chicago Crime Commission, told the Senate Rackets Committee today that Capone gang hoodlums have infil- ' trated “innumerable” unions in the Chicago area. Peterson specificaly mentioned 1 Local 593 of* the Hotel and Res--1 taurant Workers Union, one of the main groups now being investigated by the committee. Gangsters also have had a hand ' in the operation of the Taxi Driver, Juke Box and Electric Wqrkers Union, he testified. Peterson, and Detective Lt. ’ George Butter of the Dallas, Tex., police department were the first witnesses as the committee opened a new hearing on mobster ' influence* in labor-management re- ' lations in th restaurant business in Chicago. -■ * w r .. Peterson testified that three of ' the present officers of Local 593 were closely linked with the Ca- ' pone mob. He identified them as ' James Blakely, secretary treasurer of the local and a vice president* of the parent union; John Lardino, administrative director, and Daniel Lardino, a business agent. Butler testified that Daniel Lardino was active in an attempt by Chicago racketeers to take over an 18-million-dollar rackets empire in Dallas in the 19405. Butler indicated the move failed because the Texans proved too tough for the Qhicago crew. When a Chicagoan started making trouble, he said, “one of those Texas boys would peel his head.” Butler also advanced the theory that failure of the Texas venture led to the gangland slaying of Nick de John who was found dead in San Francisco with a wire around his neck. Butler said De John at the time was a sort of ‘judge” of underworld disputes and arranged to underwrite the cost of the move into the Southwest. He said mobster Marcus Lipsky and his associates in Texas lost a good deal of money which De John was unable to make good. Chief Counsel Robert F. Kennedy said Peterson would give the Rackets Committee the backi ground on the Chicago restaurant I business which is famed for fine 1 food and naughty night life. Other - scheduled witnesses in- > eluded four restaurant operators, a former waitress and a former union official. Some of the bestknown names of the Chicago underworld will be caled to testify later. The Chicago Restaurant Assn, was expected to figure prominently in the hearings. Chairman John L. McClellan (D-Ark.) said in an opening statement the committee would inquire into these four areas: —“Whether groups of employers banded together for the purposes of destroying legitimate unionization: —“Whether Collusive deals were made between dishonest management and dishonest union officials: —“Whether gangsters or hoodlum? were employed by an association of employers to keep out unionization or to handle their labor relations; —“Whether certain union officials have been or are presently in the control of the criminal syndicate in Chicago.” McClellan said “we expect to develop the fact that in arrangements of the types mentioned _ above, the needs and interests of the employes are completely ignored.”

Chicago unions representing restaurant workers said to advance of the hearings “we have nothing to fear and nothing to .hide ” They said only 4 of the 11 locals in the Chicago joint board^were involved. Kennedy said at least six locals would figure to some extent in initial stages of the hearing. Legion Convention Will Open Friday Evansville Host To State Conventibn EVANSVILLE, Ind.
