Seeks Speedup Os Jobless Pay Boost

WASHINGTON (UPD — The House Ways & Means Committee went behind closed doors today to pound out a final version of legislation to speed extra jobless pay benefits to the nation's unemployed. The committee, led by Rep. Wilbur D. Mills. D-Ark., was expected to complete its work on President Kennedy’s emergency request within a few days. House action may come early next week. The administration bills, which are labeled as anti-recession measures, would provide $950 million for additional unemployment compensation to three million jobless workers whose benefits have either run out or will expire during j the next year. Employers Pay Cost Up to 13 weeks of extra paymentswould be authorized, depending on eligib'Mtv in the various states. Employers would pay the cost of the program through higher taxes. ; The legislation also would provide $350 million in federal-state public assistance for needy children of the unemployed. Kennedy said the program would give the economy a big j shot in the arm as well as help! the jobless. The President proposed the one-year program be financed by raising the taxable wage base from $3,000 to $4,800 but chances are the committee will not go along with this. Instead, it was likely a temporary boost in the 3.1 per cent federal payroll tax would be approved. The administration has promised it would not make the matter a major issue. Others Would Benefit The President also Usked Congress to give the extra benefits to workers who exhausted their regular unemployment compensation in the period from Oct. 31, 1960. to April 1,1962. However, organized labor wants the starting date shoved back to last May, which it says more accurately reflects the beginning of the current recession. Kennedy has said he would go along with setting the date at last June 30 if the committee favors the move — and it probably will. This would add another S4O million and 125,000 workers to the programs originally proposed.

Senate Passes Bill To Aid Osteopaths INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — The ! Indiana Senate, by a 31-12 vote, • Monday night passed a bill de- ■ signed to require county hospitals .i to open their facilities to osteoi! paths. . Sen. Nelson Grills, D-Indianapo-lis, author of the bill, pointed out that some tax-supported hospitals I now prohibit osteopaths from I using their facilities. "I think it is wrong for any i group of people to take it on themselves to say who can and who cannot use tax-supported facilities,” Grills said. He said that Parkview Hospital in Marshall County “went $46,000 in the red last year” because it didn’t open its facilities to six osteopaths who would have helped overcome the deficit. The biggest push for the bill was given by Sen. S. Hugh Dillin, temporary presiding officer of the Senate in the absence of Lt. Gov. j Richard Ristine. Dillin, D-Peters-'burg, stepped down from the presiding chair to speak out in favor of the bill which he said “is long overdue.” Dillin said the number of physicians in Indiana is decreasing and osteopaths are filling the void. He said there may have been some question years ago about whether an osteopath was qualified to perform the work of a physician, “but the modern osteopath takes the same courses as the medical ' doctor and must pass the same board to get his license.” Voting against the bill were Democrats Baran, Maschmeyer, Monks, Spurgeon and C. Watson and Republicans Batchelet, Bilby, Brown, Newhouse, Ruckelshaus, Townsend and Conrad. Not voting were Democrats Bailey. O’Bannon and Rogers and Republicans Beamon. Kellum, Maddox, and Shawley. —. Asks Russia Back New Plan On Laos WASHINGTON (UPD — The United States has called on Russia to support a new plan to end the East-West struggle in Laos. The plan was proposed two days ago by Laotian King Savang Vathana and quickly gained U.S. backing. Secretary of State Dean Rusk Monday night summoned Soviet Ambassador Mikhail A. Menshikov for a 30-minute conference at the State Department and urged him to consent to it. King Savang proposed a neutral Laos with a commission of three neutral nations — Cambodia, Malaya and Burma —to guard against outside intervention. The proposal was reported to have British support and was expected to be backed by France and other countries. Menshikov, after his talk with Rusk, said no “conclusions” had been reached but that he would report to his government. He indicated at least one point of dispute by telling reporters Russia still wants an intematipnal conference on Laos. The United States and Britain fear this might be a fruitless propaganda exercise. If you nave something to sell oi trade — use the Democrat Want Ads! They get Big results.

One Airline In Challenge To Officials NEW YORK (UPD — One of the six major airlines crippled in the worst air tieup in U.S. history today challenged union officials to prove they did not organize the wildcat flight engineers walkout. Pan American World Airways won subpenas from a U.S. district court here to force officials of the flight engineers’ Pan American chapter to testify on how the strike began and how it was continuing. Officers of the union’s Pan Am champter and 42 flight engineers were ordered to appear in the same court Monday to show cause why they should not be held in contempt for continuing the strike despite a court order. Other airlines have obtained similar orders. An American Airlines official testified Monday in Dallas, Tex., that a number of striking engineers told him of “mysterious telephoned threats.” the engineers refused to fly despite a court order. , - Employes Idled More than 75.000 airlines employes were furloughed Monday. Trans World Airlines, American Airlines and Eastern Air Lines rolled all their planes into hangars and shut down completely. Pan American, National Airlines and Western Airlines were as good as closed down with up to 85 per cent of their employes laid off and only a token number of planes flying. An estimated 150.00 p travelers in waiting rooms across the country discovered their airline tickets were useless except for refunds. Air mail service also was threatened. Only one airline — United — was still flying a coast-to-coast route. Only one — northeast _ still had normal service between New York and points. Puerto Rico, which depends on airlines for 95 per cent of its travel to the mainland, was virtually isolated. For resort areas such as Florida, the walkout was a nearcatastrophe; Doubt Union Statements A Pan American spokesman said that as soon as officials of the Flight Engineers InternationalAssocaition were, served with subpenas they would be brought into court. He indicated the airlines doubted union officials’ state- - ments that they ordered the men back to work in compliance with court orders. “We want to ask them, ‘Did you call the strike or didn’t you,” 1 the spokesman said. “We want to find put how the strike was called and how it is continuing.” The walkout began Friday in a | wage dispute with Pan American but spread over a different issue —a National Mediation Board ruling..that flight engineers for; United Air Lines form a single bargaining unit with the pilots. The flight engineers maintain that the order threatents the extence of their 3.500-man union. A seventh major airline, Northwest. has been crippled for a month by a strikeWengineers belonging to a different union.

Texas Plains *3 a Dig Out from Record Storm By United Press International Fabled west Texas plains towns . dug*«ut today from their worst one-day snowstorm on record, a sudden blustery assault that buried highways and stranded schoolchildren in their buses. Lubbock. Tex., a city of 100,000. ground to a standstill under a foot of snow that fell at the rate of 2 inches an hour. Levelland. 30 miles west toward the New Mexico border, reported 20 inches and as much as 23 inches near Sundown, Whiteface, Muleshoe and Lariat. East of the blizzard, a rainy pattern heightened flood threats across the South in Louisiana, Florida, Alabama and Georgia. In western Pennsylvania. Pittsburgh braced for minor flooding in -the city’s lower North Side and some downtown areas as the Alegheny River edged toward a crest at about 24 Teet However high water dissipated on the Monongahela River, which joins the Allegheny at Pittsburgh to form the Ohio River, lessening flood dangers in the Ohio Valley. Heaviest of the eastern rains fell Monday night at Tuscaloosa. Ala., where 2.81 inches were measured. Nearly two inches fell -at Anniston, Ala., and Anderson. S.C. I In Mississippi, a tornado raged east of Jackson and from Bunker Hill to Bassfield, toppling at least eight houses and disrupting power and communications lines. Authorities said there were no reported injuries. Pacific rains and Rocky Mountain snow followed a steady pattern in the Northwest. Snow blanketed mountain areas from the Canadian border in Montana >to north central Colorado.

Approves Damage Suits On Officers

WASHINGTON (UPD — The Supreme Court has approved civil damage suits against policemen who disregard the constitutional rights of suspects. By an 8-1 vote the court ruled Monday that a Chicago Negro may use the 1871 Civil Rights Act to sue 13 police officers who broke into his home, ransacked the rooms and abused his family. The man, James Monroe, was questioned for 10 hours at the police station about a murder, with no help from a lawyer, and finally released without being charged. The majority, for whom Justice William O. Douglas spoke, said Monroe could not sue the city itself but he could sue the individuals concerned. Douglas brushed aside the city’s argument that the only remedy is in state courts. The decision was one of numerous actions by the court on its return from a four-week recess. Dismisses Bus Case Os interest at a time when the Kennedy administration’s aid to education bill is before Congress was the court’s dismissal of a school bus case. Taxpayers in Newtown, Conn., had challenged a law allowing free transportation to pupils of Roman Catholic and all other non-profit parochial schools. The court saic the case did not pre- \ sent “a substantial federal question.” ine effect was to <l> make final a state court decision upholding the law and (2 ) leave un-i changed the Supreme Court’s own 1947 decision sanctioning use of public funds for getting Catholic pupils back and forth from their schools. The court agreed to look into the job security afforded under the government-approved merger i of the Erie Railroad with the Del- • aware. Lackawanna & Western. It froze the status of the workers so none would be fired at least | until the case is settled. In another case important in the transportation industry the court by a vote set aside a ■ civil antitrust judgment in Philadelphia against 24 eastern railroads which were charged with conspiring to destroy the longhaul trucking industry in the Northeast. Other Actions The court also:. -Ruled 8-1 that the Justice Department may prosecute former Teamster president Dave Beck and five trucking employers on charges they illegally loaned him • $200,000. The decision re-instated an indictment dismissed last year by Federal District Judge Sidney Sugerman of New York. —Upheld 6-2 a denaturalization judgment against Frank Costello, former king of the underworld, now in a federal prison for income taxhevasion. —Ruled that the Justice Department may go ahead with its suit to revoke the citizenship of Gaetano •Three Finger Brown) Lucchese, 61, a Sicilian naturalized in Newark. in 1943 —Agreed to hear arguments again on whether a native-born American may have his citizenship taken away for going abroad to, escape military service. —Denied a hearing to William Presser, Ohio Teamster boss, convicted of contempt of Congress in connection with a 1958 appearance before the Senate rackets investigating committee.

Decatur Motorist Fined At Bluffton William E. Rice. 45, of Decatur, was one of seven motorists fined in Bluffton city court last Saturday for speeding. U. N. ARMY (Continued on page five) cast. Plan Peace Mission The move came as Lt. Gen. Sean McKeown, ■ the Irish commander in chief of U.N. forces in the Congo, headed off on a peace mission in another part of this strife-torn land. McKeown flew to an undisclosed town in Equatorial Province in a dramatic bid to head off open warfare between the two major factions of the Congolese army. His first meeting was to be with Maj. Gen. Joseph Mobutu, army strongman of the central government in Leopoldville. Mobutu has been assembling his forces in Equatorial for an attack on the Communist-supported rump regime in Stanleyville, capital of adjacent Oriental Province. U.N. sources said McKeowm planned to go to Stanleyville next Ito talk with the army strongman there, Gen. Victor Lundula. Peace Offer Reported There have been persistent reports that Lundula has seized [power from Antoine Gizenga. self- | styled political heir of slain former leftwing leader Patrice Lumumba. and already has offered to talk peace with the Leopoldville government of President Joseph Kasavubu and Premier JoI seph Ileo. One report even said Lundula and Mobutu had talked about this face to face. There was no con- ! firmation of this but there have been no reports of recent clashes [between Mobutu’s and Lundula's troops. McKeown’s main aim, U.N. ' sources said, would be to set up a buffer zone between the two factions to make sure war does I not break out. even accidentally. Congolese sources in Lejxddville said Ileo’s government is testing the reports to see if there is any basis of coming to an agreement ; with the Stanleyville leftists. Influence Grows Reports that Jean Omonombe, security boss in Stanleyville, had j been arrested indicated Lundula’s | influence was growing. In Kivu Province to the east the power held by leftists while i Lumumba was alive appeared to have disintegrated into chaos since his death was announced • last week. Reports reaching here said gangs of soldiers belonging to different tribes were fighting among themselves and had created an atmosphere of terror ! n the onceprosperous gold mining and agri- ; cultural province. 14 Now Entered In 500-Mile Classic I INDIANAPOLIS 'UPD —Entries ' of veterans Chuck Stevenson and i Dempey Wilson today boosted the field for the 500-mile Speedway au|o race to 14.
