': McCarthy. 48, died Thursday

One of the prime considerations
Stemming from . Washington m
connection with Thomson's inv

balance in the United Stales Sen

sAmong the vital factors in

Chief among the GOP possibili
ties is Waller Kohler, who com

Production at
Detroit Area
Plants Halted
Wildcat Strike Stops
Work on 4 Makes
Of Chrysler Ca rs
DETROIT W Wildcat strikes
stemming from a dispute over job
transfer rights idled 40,500 hourly
rated workers at Chrysler Corp.
plants in the Detroit area Friday.
The walkouts shut down produc
tion of Plymouth, Dodge, Chrysler
and Imperial cars.,- Only Desoto
output continued. Overtime opera
tions for Saturday wore canceled.
The workers were sent home by
the company when the walkout of
interplant truck drivers cut .off
supplies to assembly lines.
The truck drivers stayed off
their jobs in protest over the fir
ing of a driver and a United Auto
Workers Union - committeeman.
The company and HAW officials
said the work stoppage was un
authorized. The strike stemmed from a
long-standing dispute between
Chrysler and UAW Local 212 over
the movement of some stamping
division operations to a new plant
at Twinsnurg, onto.
The local had ordered its mem
bers not to move dies and fix
tures destined for the Ohio plant
until the company agrees to un
ion demands on hiring rights for
Detroit salaried personnel at
Twinsburg. ,
The truck driver and union
committeeman were , fired when
they refused to - move welding
equipment from one Detroit-area
plant to another.
Chrysler has said -that no sala
ried personnel WU be affected, im
mediately' by the move .to Twins
burg. If they are, the company
said, it will be ready to negotiate
a transfer agreement.
Local 212 has scheduled a strike
vote for Wednesday on the issue.
Chrysler has 114,000 hourly
rated and salaried r-orkers in all
divisions in the Detroit area. Na
tionwide, the company has 140.-
000 employes. -

The trio said there was a possi
bility that the legislators would
pack up and leave by the time
their youthful proteges wanted
to move in, but the probability
was that the legislative gristmill
would continue to operate well
into the following week.
"We might be able to meet la
the Capitol for an hour or
May 17 and then take over the
entire facilities ihe following
day," said Moore. "However,

Moore said It would be ad
visable to set ap their program

postpone the event. Two circuit

are a possibility.
Police Claim
Costello Lies
About Attack
NEW YORK IUP1- Police ac.
cused gambler Frank Costello to
day of lying when he denied see
ing or knowing who tried to kill
him.
A gunman shot Costello, long
reputea to ne an underworld rack
ets kingpin, Thursday night but
miiictea only a minor wound on
the back of his head. Costello told
police he didn't see the gunman
and had no idea why anyone would
want to kill him because "I
haven t an enemy in Ihe world."
Reason Not Learned
Chief of detectives James Lccsett
admitting he hasn't learned why
Costello was shot, said "I can
tell you this Costello is lying when
he said he didn't see the gunman.
Either he recognized the gunman,
or he knows why someone would
want to kill him, but he s not tell
ing us."
beggctt said police are con
vinced from the nature of the
gambler's wound that he faced
tho triegcrman when the shot was
fired. He turned his head in the
nick of time they believe, and
the bullet smashed through his
hatband and merely creased his
skull.
Costello has refused to discuss
practically all angles on which he
has been questioned, Leggett indicated.

Langley Suggejsts
End to Grand Jury
Picture on Section I, Page 1)
Multnomah County Dist. Atty. William' Langley
told the Oregon Senate Judiciary Committee Friday
night that "the Legislature should give serious con
sideration to abolishing the grand jury system."
Langley, who has been convicted of not prosecut
ing gamDiing ana wno has Decn
indicted several other times in the
Multnomah County vice investiga
tion, added that "I am not In favor
of using the grand jury as a trap"
getting persons indicted for
perjury.
Called as Witness
Langley was called to Salem
a witness to aid the committee
in considering bills dealing with
suspension of indicted officials,
making it illegal to use any device
to obtain recorded conversations,
and amending the laws dealing
with grand jury investigations.
He told tho committee that
Oregon law doesn't permit grand
juries to investigate on their own.
He also objected to the system
whereby the grand jury sits for
long periods and then Indicts
several people at once for various
crimes, listing the witnesses who
testified during the entire pro
ceeding. This, he said, makes It impos
sible for a defendant to learn
what witnesses specifically testi
fied against him. Langley added
that in some coses, 150 '"itnesses
would be listed but yet maybe
only 10 have testified against any
one detendant. -
