Rear Ad in the development of nuclear powered su Senator John Kennedy (D-, Mass.), who h marine Nautilus, which recently passed co urged the Navy to promote Rickover to the jecture that Navy brass intends to pass up retirement from the Navy, for reasons of AFL-CIO Council Presses Its Internal Clean-Up Campaign By WILLIAM J. EATON United Press International Unity House, Pa. (UPD The , A F L - C I O Executive Council pressed its internal clean-up drive today in Ijopes it will block any union-crip-ling legislation. The council also arranged to hear a background briefing on U.S. foreign policy from Secretary of State John Fos ter Dulles at the Pocono mountain summit meeting. Dulles, a frequent target of trade union critics, was to speak at a closed-door lunch. Leaders of the council were reported to have decided on another step in the AFL CIO's cold war with Team ster boss James R. Hoffa. They privately agreed to pro hibit any Hoffa payroller from serving as an official of any AFL-CIO state or city central body. Adoption of this policy would be another move to un derscore the 1,500,000-mem-, ber truck union's ouster for corrupt leadership. Hit at Business Groups The labor leaders also ac cused business leaders of kill ing off the mild Kennedy Ives bill which would have To Buy To Build To Refinance... get a U.S. national Homo Loan Attire, growing children can suddenly make a hoase seem small and cramped.

There has been con Rickoved for promotion, thus forcing his prejudice and provided for disclosure of union finances and require secret-ballot elections. The House apparently doomed the bill by rejecting an attempt Monday to pass it without committee action. United Auto Workers Pres ident Walter P. Reuther said the House action was a dis service to the public and to labor. It was a product of an "unholy alliance of the Na tional Association of Manu facturers, reactionary Repub licans and Jimmy Hoffa's gangster cohorts," he said. Steelworkers President Da vid J. McDonald and Commu nications Workers chief, Jo seph A. Beirne, said they ex pected business groups to press for tougher curbs on unions when a new Congress convenes in January. Meany in Control The council unanimously endorsed the bill in an 11th hour attempt to obtain pass age. AFL-CIO leaders were lukewarm about the measure before that time, however. Federation President George Meany was in full control today as the council began its second day of talks at this vacation spot owned ' bii """ ' MEDFORD DIRECT BRANCH OF THE UNITED STATES NATIONAL IANK OF PORTLAND UNITED STATES NATIONAL BANK OF PORTLAND personality conflict by the Ladies Garment Work ers. Meany pushed through a resolution Monday outlawing pacts giving aid and comfort to the Teamsters. This brought a quick. follow-up from Machinists President Al J. Hayes. To Dissolve Pact . Hayes said he expected his union's high command to dis solve its pact-on joint organ izing of garage workers. The matter will be considered next month, he said. The pact a long-standing arrangement except for a 10 year period ending in 1953 can be cancelled on 30 days' notice by either signer. On another front, the fed eration's ethics-policing com mittee scheduled a meeting today to prepare its reports on two unions under investi gation operating engineers and jewerly workers.

BRANCH Rapid-Fire Ride May Not Be Used For Two Years Washington (UPD The Army's new rapid-fire rifle won't be issued to U.S. troops until 1960 unless there is a speed-up in production. This disclosure came on the heels of a complaint by J Rep. Robert L. F. Sikes (D-! Fla.) that Egyptian, Syrian and even Yemenite troops have 'better rifles and ma chine guns than American soldiers and Marines in the Middle East. The Army had no immedi ate comment on the Sikes speech. But it announced in May, 1957, the adoption of its new standard rifle and said at the time there would be "issue of the new rifle to troops beginning in 1960." Cne Pound Lighter The new rifle, called the M-14, will be one pound lighter than the old M-l Ga rand which was adopted in 1936 and still is the standard for U.S. troops. It can be fired automatically or semi automatically. The Army announced last March that it would order during the year nearly 70,000 M-14 rifles. The cost was es timated at more than $20 mil lion. Sikes, a leading member of the House Military Appropri ations subcommittee, said GIs carry World War II-mod el rifles and World War I- model machine guns. On the other hand, he said, the troops of the United Arab Republic carry Soviet- supplied modern lightweight rifles and machine guns with greater fire power. He said the situation is hurting U. S. prestige and troop morale. Sikes blamed the Defense Department for not speeding up production of the new American lightweight rifles and machine guns the M-14, M-15 and M-60. He told United Press Inter national that all three models still are only in "token pro duction." But, he said, all U. S. troops could be armed with them in a year if pro duction were speeded up. Salem Bus Service To Start Wednesday Salem (UPD Restarting of Salem bus lines has been postponed until Wednesday, although it had been hoped to get service under way to day. Louis Soukup, Eugene, for mer owner of Salem City Transit Lines, said 10 city buses had been moved to Eu gene to help service there. He said limited service -was planned in Salem Wednesday, but did not disclose what runs would be cut. Soukup, who leased the line and equipment to Roy J. Sinnott, Albany, president of the newly - formed Cascade Transit Lines, said he had been named general manager of the new company. Soukup blamed "additional inconveniences" caused by the union for the company not resuming operation today. Charles Chittick, spokes man for Salem drivers, said the union plans to picket if the buses operate here. He said also that former drivers probably would travel ahead of the buses and pick up passengers in private cars. Authorities Track Down Kidnap Lead Omaha, Neb. (UPD Author ities today sought to track down a possible lead in the 22-yea(f-old kidnap-murder of a Tacoma, Wash., boy. The lead came Monday from Clarence S. Biggs, 52, who was picked up for vio lating his parole from a Co lumbus, Ohio, prison farm. Biggs told police and FBI agents he had looted a store in Tennessee in company with a man who said he took part in the kidnaping of Charles Mattson, 10. The unsolved Mattson kid naping took place Dec. 27, 1936. The kidnapers asked $28,000 ransom but did not try to collect the money. The boy's body was found several weeks later. Joseph Thornton, head agent of the Omaha FBI of fice, said the dates mentioned by Biggs failed to tally with the actual ones in the Matt son case and that "several other details" were equally out of line. Thornton said, however, that Biggs' story would be checked thoroughly.

Action by a federal appeals court in St. Louis Monday re newed prospects that Negro children would be entitled to enter Little Rock's Central High school again next month. The court overturned a lowei court ruling delaying Little Rock school integra tion. Southerners in Congress for the most part angrily de- Boy Admits Firing Gun; Kills Mother Chicago (UPD Police today questioned a frail, be spectacled boy who admitted shooting his mother to death in the living room of their suburban home but claimed it was an accident. Bruce Dale, 13, cried as he told police of the events that led to the death of his mother, Erna, 42, as she lay on a soft in their home in suburban Skokie. Earlier, the boy told police he 'found his mother's body when he come home from playing in the neighborhood and they feared her death might have stemmed from the scheduled appearance before a Senate Racket Committee of her husband, Michael, 53, a juke box distributor. ' The boy finally admitted the shooting but said it was an accident. He said his mother asked him to get something from a suitcase in an upstairs closet. Upon opening the suitcase, he said, he found the revolver, a .32 caliber Colt, and decided to show it to her. "I was coming downstairs when the gun went off," he told police. Authorities said two bullets were fired from the pistol one -striking the mother in the head and the other in the arm. The boy's father was sub poenaed to. appear before the Senate committee this fall. He testified last spring before a Cook County grand jury which was investigating a re ported link between a local of the International Brqtherhood of Electrical Workers and the Chicago Independent Amuse ment association. 250 Men Search for Boy in Colorado . Estes Park, Colo. (UPD A weary band of . 250 men searched the heavily wooded Mt. Meeker area near here today for a missing 10-year-old boy with a hearing and speech defect. The boy; Bobby Bizup, son of M.-Sgt. and Mrs. Joseph Bizup of Lowry Air Force Base at Denver, disappeared Friday night. A growing party of search ers have used a helicopter, a light plane, bloodhounds and skin divers in the past four days in a fruitless search. Sheriff's deputies said the boy may be hiding from the group. An ice cream carton in which he had carried worfhs was found Monday. A motorist also reported Monday that a boy answering Bobby's description, was seen near large rocks bordering a mountain road, police said. NEVER FIXED Pittsfield, Mass.

Rep. James Roose velt (D-Calif.) called on Presi 'dent Eisenhower to establish a "definite" policy to prevent future "Little Rocks." The spotlight focused for the moment on .the Little Rock School Board, which an nounced it would use every possible legal recourse in cluding a Supreme Court ap peal to delay integration, and on Arkansas Gov. Orval E. Faubus who was reported ready to call his legislature into special session to seek ways to avert integration. Fear Renewed Violence Several legal authorities here thought the school board's appeal would fail legally to arrest integration this fall. There was less cer tainty as to the effectiveness of Faubus' efforts. Underlying all speculation was the evident fear that re turn of the Negro children to Central High might rekindle the mob violence of last year and lead to the return of fed eral troops to Little Rock. The White House and Jus tice Department kept strict silence on the appeals court ruling and on the possibility of the return of troops.

The President ex pressed hope last May 8, when he announced plans to with draw the troops, that local of ficials would "assume their full responsibility and duty for seeing that the orders of the federal court are not ob structed" so it would not be necessary to return the troops this ' September. South Angry But he left the clear impli cation he would not hesitate to send troops again if he felt it necessary "to preserve the in tegrity of our judicial pro cesses." Southern anger at use of troops in Little Rock last year is still very much alive. In the Senate it boiled over Monday night during debate on confir mation of W. Wilson White as head of the new civil rights division in the Justice Depart ment. Sen. Richard B. Russell (D- Ga.), unofficial leader of the Dixie bloc, said of the troop use: "You cannot change the social system ingrained in 45 million people at the point of a bayonet.
