WASHINGTON (UP) — Tht Senate Rackets Committee called for testimony today from an official of the union which Johnny Dio used to become reported kingpin of New York’s labor racketeers. The committee sent the tightlipped Dio back to the jail from which it borrowed him, after he invoked the Fifth Amendment about 140 times, and tabbed as its next witness Earl Heaton, 1 outgoing president of the Allied Industrial Workers of America. The group is a catch-all outfit formerly known as the AFL United Auto Workers. The committee charged that Dio roosted his racketeers in this union’s locals, then transferred them into seven memberless ‘paper locals” of the Teamsters Union in order to help his friend James R. Hoffa, teamster vice president, win control of the Teamsters organization in New York. Committee Counsel Robert F. Kennedy said the committee would ask Heaton about a $16,000 check made out to Dio, signed by Anthony Doria, secretary treasurer of the UAW-AFL. This check was dated in December. 1953, while Dio was the union’s New York boss. The counsel said the committee also was curious about $80,000 which the union paid Doria when he retired as secre-tary-treasurer early this year.
HOSPITAL NOTES Dismissals: Nina Maude Haltorn, Cloverdale; Virgil M. Johnson, Fillmore; Mary Lydick, Coatesville; Simon Adelman, Evelyn Parker, Pauline Slavens, Goldie Judy', Lennie Rumley, all of Greencastle.

WASHINGTON (UP) — Dixie Democrats in the House today organized a stalling move which they hope will delay the civil rights bill until Congress gets tired of waiting and goes home. But Northern Democrats pushed confidently for fast action to accept something close to the Senate civil rights bill and rush it to the White House. They hinted they may have a trick up their sleeves to by-pass the House Rules Committee, where the Southerners hope to work their stalling maneuver. Speaker Sam Rayburn promised a statement today “on my position and on what I think ought to be done if these people want a civil rights bill." Auj ourn has not voiced his attitude toward the < il rights issue. But he .c» in frequent conference w.ai Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson, his fellow-Texan who is anxious for the House to accept the Senate bill with few or no changes. Chief issue of controversy is the Senate’s jury trial amendment, which was not in the House civil rights biM It provides jury trials for criminal contempt cases brought against violators of federal court injunctions. This applies to injunctions obtained to enforce the bill's Negro voting rights proviso, as well as to enforce any other federal laws or court orders. Jury trials would not be required in civil contempt suits aimed solely at securing compliance with court orders. President Eisenhower has indicated he may veto the bill unless the jury trial proviso is removed, or at least limited to the voting rights section of the bill. House Republicans are ready to battle for such changes. House GOP Leader Joseph W. Martin Jr., Mass., told newsmen that if Congress passes aq unsatisfactory bill he is prepared to recommend that Eisenhower veto the measure and call Congress back in the fall to tackle the issue again.

NEW ORLEANS (UP)—A gulf storm named Bertha grew into a full fledged hurricane today and sent rising tides against the Loui-sana-Texas coastal region that suffered heavily from Hurricane Audrey in June. Hundreds of persons living in lowland areas of the irregular Louisiana coastline fled to higher ground as the storm blossomed into a 75 mile an hour howler. The Red Cross opened refugee centers in Lake Charles and other southern Louisiana cities. The Coast Guard said high tides at San Luis Pass, 25 miles wouth of Galveston, Tex., stranded several persons in a car and house trailer. Rescue units were sent to their aid. The Weather Bureau, using strong language to warn the threatened areas, said in an 11 a. m. advisory that “Hurricane Bertha threatens the west Louisiana and upper Texas coasts from Galveston to Vermillion Bay ‘Safety precautions should be , started now,” the advisory said. !
