McClellan (D-Ark.) order ed the transcript of the Food Fair hearings sent to the jus tice department to check for possible violations of the Taft-Hartley or other laws. There were also several cases of directly conflicting testi mony during the hearing. Principal figures next week will be Max Block, pres ident of butchers Locals 342 and 640 and an international butcher union vice president, and his brother Louis, former president of Local 640 ' and now head of pensions funds for Max's locals. Bought Stock Cheaply The Block brothers got prominent mention in the Food Fair investigation. A committee aide testified the two New York men were per mitted to-buy $24,800 worth of stocks and bonds in a Food Fair affiliate for $14,000. The investigator, George Kopecky, said Food Fair saved $25,'000 on its pension plan arrange ment with New York area butchers unions. Kopecky said Food Fair saved $142,000 on Philadel phia butcher union pensions. The negotiator for those pen sions, Kopecky testified, was Leon Shacter, a butcher un ion vice president who got $1,203 worth of Food Fair Properties, Inc. stock , for ' a $300 outlay. The Food Fair phase of the investigation ended with tes timony from the big super market company's president, Louis Stein, who denied there was anything improper in the securities transactions. Although' Kopecky had tes tified that 21 union officials weft premitted to buy $90,400 worth of stocks and bonds for $42,100, Stein said he had no thought of trying to buy fa vorable treatment for his com pany. Denies Charge ? Stein said it was a matter of "person to person relation ships." Meanwhile, at Reading, Pa., a member of the Pennsyl vania Labor Relations Board accused the Senate Rackets Committee of "character as sassination" in naming him as one of a group of union officials which purchased the Food Fair stocks at discount rates. John T. Haltesky, business agent for Retail Clerks Local 1383, said he purchased the stock in 1955 on the open market at $1 per share as an investment. He denied being on any preferred list. Kopecky had testified that Haltesky purchased $1, 600 worth of stock in Food Fair Properties, Inc., for $400.

Turner, a graduate of the University of o Virginia and Union Theological Seminary, had hoped to postpone his entry into the army' until after a scheduled goodwill exhibition tour with the na tional AATJ team to Japan.

Asked if he would like to have a 175-pound assistant who can wrestle, Turner said, "Yes, if he can also play the pipe organ and type. I. can't do either one." he will say. "We don't have the least idea what he's going to say," said attorney William Mat- schullat. "All we care is that he says something." The trial recessed for the week end Friday after testi mony from 15 prosecution witnesses who told how Rob ert Jensen, 17, the, victim for whose death Starkweather is on trial, was found shotvto death with his high school sweetheart.j Carol . King. . The defense does not deny that Starkweather shot Jen sen, but contends the red haired former garbage hauler was legally insane and suf fering from "delusions" dur iifg his January killing spree. His attorneys said S t a rk weather's claim that Jensen and the other 10 victims were shot in self defense shows he is insane. Four of the victims were women and one was a 2-year-old girl. The state attempted to show by testimony of Dr. E. D. Zeman, a pathologist, that Jensen was shot six times from behind the ear, two through it and one in front of it.
