o o AFL-CSO Suspends Bakery Union With 160,000 Members Washington -TP The AFL CIO today suspended the 160.000 member Bakery Workers Union for defying a clean-up order to remove bakers President James G. Cross. AFL-CIO President George Meany announced the suspen sion less than 24 hours after the bakers Executive Board refused to forbid Cross to seek reelection at a special convention. The bakers' board also defied an ultimatum from the AFL-CIO Executive Council by refusing to reinstate Cross' leading critic, ousted Secretary-Treasurer Curt is R. Sims. Meany charged the board with "failur and refusal to comply" with the AFL-CIO directive. The AFL-CIO high command had said the union would be auto matical suspended if it failed to follow "the clean-up orders. Mea ny's announcement confirmed the suspension. Cross was accused of using un ion funds for personal gain in testimony before the Senate Rackets committee. The AFL CIO Ethical Practices committee later found the bakery workers were dominated by corrupt in fluences. Today's suspension. Meany in dicated, will be followed by an Ethical Council recommendation that the union be expelled at the federation's December conven tion in Atlantic City unless the bakers do an about-face before then. The charges against Cross were first raised by Sims, who later was fired from his S22,500 a year post for bringing up the accusations inQ public. Cross also was accused before the Sengte committee of "'ex travagant" use of union money and of making collusive deals with employers. t It""" 111 r.ul'i C , ' J T "'''''yiji)riiili)il))V m..:::.

HPi State po lice flushed notorious gangster Vito Genovese and more than 60 other "hoods and racketeers from all over the country" from a mountain-top barbecue here Thursday, set a road-block against their escape and ques tioned them throughout the night. State Police Sgt. Edgar Cros well said they, were "a good cross-section of the nation's hood lums." They told police, who hauled them out of some 25 new black limousines, that they'd been calling on a sick friend Joseph Barbera, head of an Endi cott, N.Y., beverage distributing firm, who has beat four indict ments for murder.

'Tight Money' Is Blamed for State's Business Failure Portland OP The admini stration's "tight money" policy was blamed as a prime cause of business failure Thursday by several witnesses at a U.S. Sen ate hearing into Oregon's small business problems. Gov Robert D. Holmes was the first witness called by the Senate Small Business commit tee. He said the administration's tight money and high interest rate policy affected the market for lumber, Oregon's No. 1 pro duct, and was crowding manu facturers depending on lumber and its by-products to the wall. "The small businessman is faced with the need to borrow dollars that purchase less and less at interest rates greater and greater," the governor said. He added that small business can not be healthy until a safe and generous loan policy is worked out. Attacks Freight Rales Gov. Holmes also attacked discriminatory east-west freight rates and conflict among policies of federal government depart ments as causes of Oregon's de pressed economy. He said that an increase in rural electrical interest loan rates would mean a decrease in the use of electri city, and added: "The pity of the failure to do all we can to encourage and as sist small business is that we are wasting resources." Mayor Terry D. Schrunk of Portland said that Portlanders were concerned with problems facing their city and state. He said many industrialists had told him they would locate factories in Portland if Oregon were able to promise firm power. Rep. Al Ullman (D-Ore.) of Baker said small businessmen in his district had been strangled by tight money and high interest rates. The two committeemen sit ting in at the hearing were Sens. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) and Ed ward J. Thye (R-Minn.).

A study shows that knock-knees are fair ly common in the very young but that knees as they grow older are very much inclined to stop knocking together. . This conclusion was based on. precise measurements of 1,000 pairs of knees ranging in age from 11 years down to infants who had just learned to toddle around without help. Dr. A. J. M. Morley who re corded a "natural history" of knock-knees concluded that "tod dlers' knock-knee can be allow ed to join the growing group of development deviations which seldom need treatment." He found that 26 per cent of the children he studied w-ho were between 3 and 3Va years old had only a slight amount of knock kneedhess or none at all. But 22 per cent of the children that age had definite knock knees. Among children 7 years old or older, however, only 1 to 2 per cent had knock-knees of the same degree. Knees get closer together up to between 3 and 3V2 years and then start separating into nor mal spacing as the leg bones lengthen through natural growth, he found. His study was thorough enough to dispel some of the ages - old superstitions about knock-knees. For one thing, he found no relationship between knock-knees and flat feet. As a matter of fact, the feet of in fants always look as though they were flat due to normal ' fat pads." No Link To Walking Nor did he find any "relation ship between knock-knees and the age when the babe began walking, nor with how long the babe fed at the breast nor with whether the child's diet had been suplemented with vitamins dur ing the first 18 months of life. But there was an indicated relationship between knock knees and weight, since the mean weights of children with the condition was greater than the mean weights of comparable children without it. He concluded that knock-knees in children under seven "can probably be safely ignored un less it is excessive or unless an under-lying cause is present," such as rickets or abnormalities in bone development.
