British Press Hits At Teen-Aged Gangs LONDON (UPD—The British press lashed out today at teenaged gangs whose brawling disrupted a holiday weekend at the seaside resort towns of Brighton and Margate. The Daily Herald called in a front-page editorial for stiffer fines and jail sentences to end the hooliganism that has plagued England’s southern coasts. Thousands of stylishly dressed “mods” clashed repeatedly with their arch-enemies, the leather-jacketed “rockers,” and terrorized holiday vi—sitors during the three-day pentecost weekend. Government sources said home secretary Henry Brooke would receive reports on the violence, including possible recommendations for increased police and court power to deal with the gangs. - ■ —.. The “mods” and “rockers” used knives, blackjacks, brass knuckles, soda bottles, rocks and wooden clubs in the beach brawls that were finally broken up by heavy police rein-fo-'-ements. Two youths were stabbed at Margate and a third was both stabbed and shot in the face with a starter’s pistol.

Midsummer Heat Sweeping Indiana By United Press International Midsummer heat swept Indiana today, threatening new season’s high temperatures for the second day in a row. The mercury shot up to 91 at Evansville and Chicago, 90 at Lafayette, 87 at Indianapolis and Cincinnati, 86 at South Bend and Louisville, and 84 at Fort Wayne Monday afternoon. It was the warmest day of the year in most cities. Forecasts indicated highs ranging from 85 to 92 would be recorded in the north this afternoon, near 90 in the central and south portions. As an indication of the heat levels expected today, the mercury had climbed to the low * and mid 70s all around the state by 8 a.m. EST and appeared well on its way to season’s highs. A breath of cooler air will wash the state beginning tonight in the north and spreading to central and southern areas Wednesday. It will hold the temperatures no higher than the upper 70s north, around 80 central and the mid 80s south. Except for widely scattered thundershowers in the northern third of the state today, no rain was in sight for Indiana through Thursday.

Xwwi Senator Hits Frauds By U-S. Sen. Harrison A. Williams, Jr. (Q-NJ,) Chairman. Subcommittee on Frauds and Misrepresentation i Among the more contemptible crooks in Amorita today are those who victimize our senior citizejfif.

in many cases, our elderly are wholly dependent on Social Security for support. Yet unscrupulous promoters are aiming some of their most heartless schemes directly at these citizens, those least able to afford worthless health products. Some 18 million persons in our nation are past retirement age. And as the number increases, so do the number of modern pitch men, ready to cheat and swindle. The purchasing power of our senior citizens is impressive—$38 billion according to one estimate —and it presents an irresistible lure to the schemer in search of

an easy dollar. Worthless health products take many forms. But each is aimed at swindling an age group that needs competent medical care most. v At least $1 billion a year is spent on falsely promoted, „ worthless, or dangerous products. Worthless preparations and treatments for arthritis and rheumatism are particularly common. Unfortunately, postponement of proper medical care can result in serious crippling. Yet the fraud market offers a complete line of—- — gloves,” “electro-magnet bracelets,” and other useless gadgets. • Cancer can by cured with .early treatment X-ray. or radiation. But there are no known serums, drugs, or diets which effect a cure. Yet thousands of dollara are ayeat-»ach ieaZ WTtiCTe~and uthei wmthleCT treatments. Few of us would hire a day laborer to repair our complicated TV set, yet many people are accepting health advice from door-to-door vitamin peddlers. These swindlers, often the “folksy” type of salesman,' sound authoritative. But they are only looking for an unsuspecting victim and a fast dollar. . ;■ False vitamin claims are increasingly : common. The American food supply is the best in the world. Daily use of common foods will generally supply all nutritional needs. But high-pressure selling has frightened people into believing that almost everyone is suffering from vitamin deficiencies. Be particularly wary of the door-to-door vitamin agent who claims more than is stated on the label of his I product. Another important and dangerous health swindle is the mechanical or electrical gadget that is supposed to tell what disease a person has or how to treat it. There are many legitimate medical devices —the electrocardiograph is a good example—but one should beware of machines that purport to diagnose or treat a disease simply by turning dials or applying electrical contacts to the body. Our subcommittee in the miast of fraud hearings, is already considering this legislative suggestion: that the Food , and Drug Administration be empowered to review the efficacy of medical equipment, in much the same way that it maintains a check on medicinal preparations. | Modern science has opened the door to longer life and better health. We must be vigilant in seeing that laker*, quacks and swindler* do pot close it.

Testifies To Paying Loan Commission CHICAGO (UPD A real estate investor who obtained a $3.3 million loan from Teamster union pension funds testified Monday he delivered a SIOO,OOO commission for “the boss” after he was threatened ■with bodily harm. Vaughn P. tConnelly, Miami, Fla., a government witness in the $25 million fraud trial of Teamster President James Hoffa and seven associates, did not identify "the boss.” • ■ But last Friday, Connelly told the jury one of the co-defend-ants “on several occasions had talked to the boss—Mr. Hoffa.” Connelly testified ‘ Monday that defendant Benjamin Dranow told him “Mr. Hoffa was raising hell” about an alleged $300,000 fee Jor the loan. Dranow “did not want to see any harm come, to me” but said “these boys play rough,” Connelly said. Connelly testified that Dranow and Calvin Kovens, a Miami Beach construction company official, arranged to get him the $3.3 million loan from the Teamsters “ union pension fund. But they said he would have to pay them “under the table” a $300,000 fee, Connelly said.

Many Contrasts in City Os Calcutta

(EDITOR’S NOTE: What J makes a city treat other than its sise alone? This io another in a series of dispatches on 15 of the treat cities of the world, written by UPI correspondents who work and live in them.) —7 I GREAT CITIES No. 6—CALCUTTA By AJIT K. DAS United Press International | CALCUTTA, India (UPD—AII great cities have their contrasts and paradoxes, but Calcutta takes them to extremes. India’s largest and richest city, it has a population of six million, of whom no fewer than one and a half million are refugees. The hungry and homeless sleep in the streets outside the sub-continent’s gayest hotels. Sacred cows contribute to the frequent traffic jams. India’s biggest port is in constant danger of being silted up. Calcutta seems less businesslike than Bombay though it does more business; it lacks the stately rrtonumentality of New Delhi though it was the capital of British India until 1912; it outstrips both those cities in cosmopolitan glitter and abysmal squalor. Though it is the most Indian of cities, Calcutta was founded by the British. The British may have felt at home with the humidity, which is twice that of London, but probably not the temperature, which is pleasant during the winter but frequently climbs over 100 during the summers. Partition Brought Capital After the partition of India, and of Bengal into East Pakistan and West Bengal, Calcutta became the capital of West Bengal State. A Bengalee of Calcutta resents being classed with its temporary residents, that rootless floating population of refugees from Pakistan and job - seekers from the back country. The proper Calcuttan considers that his city, the birthplace of the Nobel Prizewinning poet Rabindranath Tagore, is still the cultural capital of India. A Calcuttan thinks of himself and his city more or less the same way as a Bostonian thinks of himself and Boston. - * — The present population of Calcutta is genuinely co'sfhopolitan. It has India’s largest population of Westerners, and of Orientals —from Tibet to Tokyo. The number of Westerners is in fact larger today than it was during the days of the British reign. Even after nearly two decades of religious strife between Moslems and Hindus, more than one in six residents of Calcutta is a Moslem. The Indian Moslem population numbered one million in the 1961 census, and there is Pakistani Moslem population of 100,000. Reds Claim Strength Calcutta’s, politics are paradoxical. India’s Communists claim West Bengal and its Calcutta capital as their stronghold. But unlike such a state as Kerala, where the Communists enjoyed a brief spell of power on the votes pf farmers and workmen, the Calcutta Communists include a large leavening of office workers, teachers, students, artisans and lawyers. The leadership is provided by professors, barristers and other intellectuals, many of whom are virulently pro-Peking. Several hundred of them were put into protective jail custody after the Sino-Indian border war broke out in 1962. Since their release, they have snatched the leadership of the party back from the anti-Peking, pro-Mos-cow faction. But however powerful and articulate the Communists in Calcutta claim to be, and despite the number of seats they always get in the metropolitan municipal corporation and the two houses of the state legislature, the Communists have never 'cerae ctest -a- Red

, dominated coalition. Student* Undisciplined Calcutta is a seat of learning but its thousands of students ■ are possibly the most unbridled on earth. Demonstrations, by students or refugees or both, occur nearly every day in the year, and all too often lead to rioting and violent death. The port of Calcutta is the biggest in India, serving an area bigger than the United Kingdom and France put together, with a population of about 150 million. The hinterland’of Calcutta, with its rap-idly-developing iron and steel industry, is now referred to as the future Ruhr of India. Half of all India’s exports — such as tea, jute, mica and manganese — are shipped from Calcutta, Imports and exports through Calcutta total 10 million tons a year. Calcutta’s geographical situation is the reason for her pride and her problems. Midway between Europe and the Orient, serving the fertile valleys of both the Ganges and the Brahmaputra fivers as well as the strategic Himalayan states of Nepal, Sikkim, Bhutan and Tibet, Calcutta is too close for comfort to the Paksitani border an artificial barrier across which comes a steady flow of refugees to swell population of the shantytowns, the ranks of the unemployed and the chanting columns of street marchers. The flow became a flood following the communal riots in East Pakistan earlier this year. Calcutta’s population has dou-bled-in the past 20 years. The resulting problems were summed up by the Economic Weekly of Bombay as follows: “Scarcity of houses, overcrowding in educational institutions, middle class unemployment, refugee concentration, shortage of adequate water supply, lack of sanitation and other essential health facilities, the inadequacy of transport, the overall lack of maintenance of public utilities.” An integrated approach to Calcutta’s crushing problems is now being attempted by a new organization, financed partly by the Ford Foundation. It is the Calcutta Metropolitan Planning ■Organization, established in June, 1961 “to secure and promote the development of the Calcutta metropolitan area according to plan. . .to secure the health, safety, convenience or welfare of inhabitants.” The task is stupendous, and getting more so. For the flow of refugees is as endless as the flow of the Ganges tributaries <V<wn to the sea.

(UPD— The second trial of 10 oil companies charged with violating - federal anti-trust laws in connection with a South Bend area gasoline price war in 1957 was expected today to be ready for a jury Wednesday afternoon. Presentation of final arguments in the six-week trial began Monday and continued today. More closing statements gvere scheduled for Wednesday morning, followed by instructions to the jury by Federal Judge Jesse Eschbach. The oil firms originally were tried at South Bend in 1960.

Government attorneys charged in the first two hours of their final arguments that a conviction in the case would act as a strong deterrent to major oil companies conspiring to raise gasoline prices.

“Where do you get your rebozos?” “ The same place I get my cement!” ? - ■ _" ■ ■ Many years ago, rebozos (colorful hand-woven shawls) were a major export of Mexico. Today, Mexican exporters are more apt to be offering cement. Like other nations, Mexico became industrialized and more technically accomplished. Now, Mexico exports more than 1000 manufactured articles ranging from 1 ball bearings to electric toasters. Half of the imports Os our number one Latin American customer are machinery, equipment and supplies to keep production booming. . The tradition of quality synonymous with rebozos is kept alive,in today’s products. You can still get rebozos y —the same place you get your cement.
