Dio Wanted To Be Respected
Labor Leader, Committee Told
Washington f Former
union official Anthony J. Doria
O - today pictured cfiis friend,
racketeer Johnny Dio, as a man
barred by cruel society from at
taining his desperate longing to
be a respected labor leader.
Doria, former secretary-treasurer
of the AFL United Auto
Workers, said the dapper Ne&
York hoodlum "never had a
chance," because of youthful
indiscretinn which landed him
in Sing Sing Prison for extor
tion. "If society hadotreated Johnny
Dio right, rather than convict
and condemn him at every
mrwe, he would have Peen an
outstanding labor leader," Doria
told the Senate Labor Rackets
Committee.
His impassioned defense of
Dio took fire when Sen. Karl E,
Mundt (R-S.D asked why Dio
got into tie UAW-AFL in 195fl,
. : . . l. :.. u 41
signing a tdicf wunu uie cunr
mittee charges has made Dio a
kingpin in New York's labor
rackets.

"My guess is that he had be
come tired of the part he played
in and about the fringes of
labor," said Doria. "He wanted
at all costs to become an indivi
dual respected in labor.
"If Johnny Dio had had a
great fortune, he would have
given it up for that kind of
title," Doria declared.
Doria, who got an $80,000
"going-away" present when he
quit the union, was called before
Senate investigators to explain
why he booosted Dio into the
labor movement.
As proof that Dio was "im
bued with the real spirit of the
labor movement," Doria said
the handsome racketeer, who in
voked the Fifth Amendment
about 140 times last week in re
fusing to answer all questions of
the Rackets Committee, has not
yet been convicted for anything
he did as an offical of the UAW
CIO. '
Dio ostensibly left the union
in 1954.
Living in California
Mundt asked how Doria ex
plained Dio's Equitable Research
Associates, Inc., which the com
mittee has called an outfit
which sells protection against
pickets and organizers from
rival unions.
"That might be the result of
his frustration at not having at
tained the things Jie sought,"
said Doria.
Doria, who was secretary
treasurer of the UAW-CIO for
14 years until he was forced to
resign last February, gave his
address as Encino, Calif., and
said he is now "developing min
ing properties in Arizona."
Doria said that for part of the
time he was secretary-treasurer
of the international union at
$15,000 a year, he was also the
$7,800 a year secretary-treasurer
of Local 286 in Chicago, though
for some of this time he lived
in California.
In what could be an important
break in the investigation,
Angclo Inciso, who is accused of
taking $300,000 with him when
he stepped out of the union,
said he would talk "and talk
loud" to committee members.
Dio also is said to have gotten
$16,000 when the three quit the
union in 1954.
Lnciso haid in Chicago "I've
got a lot to say and it should be
very interesting" especially
a juicy item" that he paid a
$2,000 bribe to an official of the
American Federation of Labor
to keep the AFL from
"muscling" him out of a Chicago
union local.
Bosion Papers
Closed by Strike
Boston W The publishers
of the city's three major daily
newspapers were to meet with
union officials and Mayor John
B. Hynes today to negotiate the
strike which has choked off a
1,222,712 combined circulation.
In an unexpected move Sun
day the mayor contacted the
leaders of both factions and ask
ed them to meet with him either
at his office or the State Labor
Board.
Early today pickets paced the
walks surrounding the Morning
and Evening Globe, the Herald
Traveler, and the Record-American-Advertiser.
The publishers
suspended operations when the
300 mailers walked off their
jobs Friday evening and other
unions . within the newspaper
plants supported the action.
Union chief Max Milstein
quickly accepted the mayor's
offer Sunday but warned that
"the publishers will have to
make the first move." Later the
mayor announced the newspaper
executives had agreed to the
meeting.
Millstein said the union, a
branch of the . International
Typographical Union, wants the
present $94.13 weekly boosted
to $110. He said this figure was
"closer to the national average."
Milk Production Up
Half Billion Pounds
Washington (IB The Agri
culture department said Sunday
night milk production in the
first half of 1957 increased a
half bililon pounds, or 1 per cent
above the same period last year.
Prices to farmers for milk
averaged a little above a year
earlier in the first half. Retail
prices for dairy products also
were slightly higher.
The department predicted
consumption of fluid milk and
cream per person during 1957
will be close to the 355 pounds
of last year.

Vega Forms Highest Point
In Sky's Summer Triangle
By FAY BENTLEY
On Aug. 16 at 9 p.m. blue
white Vega, shining like a dia
mond near the western edge of
the 'Milky Way, will reach the
overhead point or practically the
exact center of the sky as viewed
by earth-dwellers in this lati
tude. ,
This giant sun, the Alpha or
brightest star in the constella
tion Lyra the Harp, is easy to
find and forms the highest point
in a star picture called the Sum
mer Triangle.
Many star gazers are familiar
with the asterism called the Win
ter Triangle, composed of three
first magnitude stars; Betelgeuse
in Orion, Procyon in Canis Min
or, and Sirius in Canis Major.
However, it seems that the Sum
mer Triangle is not quite so well
known.
First Magnitude
The Summer Triangle also
contains three stars of the first
magnitude: Vega in Lyra the
Harp, Deneb in Cygnus the
Swan which is often called the
Mrs. Purdom Pansl
To Sue Magazine
Hollywood OPi Mrs. Tita
Purdom, former wife of actor
Edmund Purdom, was expected
to file a $3 million libel suit
today in Superior Court against
Confidential magazine,, her at
torney reported.
The attorney, Mervin Mitch
elson, said the suit involved
statements made in an article
titled "What Edmund Purdom
Didn't Tell," in a 1956 issue of
Confidential. He said Confiden
tial's sister publication, Whisper
magazine, and Hollywood Re
search Inc., also would be nam
ed as defendants in the suit.
Mrs. Purdom was among a
parade of Hollywood personal
ities supoenaed to testify at the
criminal libel trial of Confi
dential and Fred and Marjorie
Meade, who the state claims op
erated the magazine's West
Coast gossip-gathering bureau,
Hoilywood Research.
Fisherman Ties
in TV Quiz Show
New York (IP) - Norwegian-born
fisherman Andrew
Nass tied with Samuel Perla,
Buffalo, N.Y., for S8.000 Sun
day night on the CBS television
quiz show, "S64,000 Challenge."
The tie came when the two
men correctly answered a series
of questions on the Roman Em
pire. Nass is now a resident of
Camden, N. J.
In another contest, actor Hans
Conreid tied for S4.000 in the
"English language category"
with Tom Kane, the Buffalo,
N.Y., cab driver who retired
after winning $96,000 on quiz
shows.
The Nass-Perla match will be
resumed next Sunday night at
the $16,000 level, and Kane and
Conreid will meet the same
night for $8,000.
Postal :Do-iN Yourself
Booklet Distributed
Washington (W Postmas
ter General Arthur E. Summer
field today introduced a new
do-it-yourself system to cut
down on long waiting lines in
front of parcel post windows.
The nation's larger post offic
es started distributing booklets
telling at a glance the mailing
costs in ounces of packages sent
anywhere in the United States
or its territories.
The postal chief said that the
new booklets will simplify the
present "complex" formula for
postage charges based on the
iortnern uross, ana Altair in
Aquila the Eagle. Both triangles
are asterisms or star figures
composed of one star from each
of three different constellations.
The middle of August when
Vega pin-points the zenith of the
starry dome is an excellent time
to learn the location of the Sum
mer Triangle.
Lower in the sky than Vega,
but still high in the .southeast,
Altair, another point in the Sum
mer Triangle, shines on the east
ern edge of the Milky Way. Al
tair, guarded on each side by a
dim star is also easy to find. It
is the Alpha or brightest star in
Aqufla the Eagle. The Milky
Way runs between Vega and Al
tair. Third Point of Asterism
Deneb, brightest star in the
constellation Cygnus the Swan,
lying to the left or east of Vega
and Altair, almost in the center
of the Milky Way, forms the
Milky Way, forms the third
point of the asterism. This star
also represents the tail of the
Swan and the head of the North
ern Cross as Cygnus is often
called.
Although all three of the giant
suns forming the Summer Tri
angle are considered to be of
first ' magnitude, Vega ' is the
brightest with a magnitude of
0.14; Altar with a brightness of
0.89 rar.ks second; and Deneb
whose magnitude is 1.33 is at the
bottom of the list. The smaller
the number, the brighter the
star, when expressing star mag
nitudes. These stars are also
navigational stars.
The Winter Triangle, having
three sides of practically the
same length is called an equila
teral triangle, but the Summer
Triangle having only two sides
of the same approximate length
resembles an isosceles triangle.
A line drawn from Vega to Al
tair would appear to be about
the same length as a line ex
tended from Altair to Deneb.
However, a line from Deneb to
Vega would be shorter than the
two lines just mentioned.
Large Sky Figure
The Summer Triangle is a
large sky figure, the longer sides
being about 30 degrees in length
or six times the distance be
tween the Pointers in the Big
Dipper.
East of Altair and south De
neb,. but lower in the sky than
either of these, lies a small dia
mond of tiny, twinkling stars
somewhat resembling a distant
electric sign. This is Delphinus
the Dolphin, also known as Job's
Coffin, one of the few constel
lations named for a Biblical
character.
Hebrew shepherds, during
their night watches on the hills
of Palestine saw in this boxlike
group of stars the coffin of the
faithful Job, who according to
legend was buried halfway be
tween heaven and earth.
Tuna Industry Agrees
To Cease Price Fixing
Washington (in The Ameri
can West Coast tuna fish indus
try has agreed to halt allegedly
illegal price-fixing and stop try
ing to squeeze out Japanese
competition, the Federal Trade
commission has announced.
The commission indicated that
compliance with its order may
lower the price of canned tuna.
It said virtually the entire West
Coast industry, producing over
half the nation's packed tuna,
consented to the order.
Khrushchev Seeks
To Coordinate
Eastern Economy
Berlin W Nikita Krush
chev has used his East German
trip to try to corrindate the
economy of the Eastern bloc
to try to raise the "standard of
living as an example to the non
Communist countries.
Throughout his tour he has
taken steps to back up his doc
trine that Communism is more
appealing when there is "butter
on the bread." And he has de
manded that the Communist
bloc surpass Western industrial
production.
Sensible Distribution
To achieve this goal, he said,
the economic systems of the
East bloc must be based on a
"sensible distribution of work,
cooperation of economic plans."
He told East German leaders
they must raise their production
so that it will be an example to
anti-Communist West Germans
of the advantages of Commu
nism. To do this he promised
East bloc aid a promise, in ef
fect, that the Soviets no longer
will loot the East German econ
omy as they did in the Stalin
era.
He boasted that the Soviet
Union's production now ranked
second in the world, only behind
the United States. And he said
the Soviet Union not only must
climb to first place but the
Soviet bloc as a whole must out
produce the West as a whole.
U.S. Said To Face
'National Suicide
Milwaukee. Wis. Wl The
head of the Continental Air De
fense Command said the U.S
risks "national suicide" when it
does not show sufficient strength
to deter Soviet atomic aggression.
"As long as the affairs of one
of the world's great powers are
guided by Communist masters
in the Kremlin," Mai. Gen. Mar
shall S. Carter said, "we are go
ing to have to maintain a posture
of strength to deter aggression
xne alternative is . . . na
tional suicide . . . extension," he
said.
The CADC chief of staff
spoke Sunday at a V-J Day cele-
oration in the county stadium
nere.
He said that because the So
viets hold the initiative," the
United States must have an air
defense organization which

Leopold's Petifon
Has New Evidence
Chicago m Nathan Leo
pold, a partner in the "crime of
the century" slaying of Bobby
Frank in 1924, today pinned his
hopes for freedom on a parole
petition said to contain 16 new
items of evidence.
Elmer Gertz, Leopold's at
torney, said that the plump,
greying 52-year-old convict sub
mitted a petition for rehearing
to the Illinois Parole and Pardon
representative at Stateville peni
tentiary Friday.
Gertz said one of the phases
of the crime that should be re
examined was the precise nature
of the roles played by Leopold
and his partner, Richard Loeb,
who died in a prison fight in
1936.,.
Leopold has said in previous
applications for freedom that
Loeb was the leader in the
crime. The new petition said
that- the trial judge, John H.
Caverly, expressed the same
view in a conversation with a
Roman Catholic nun.
