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-,

corrupt leadership.

Monday to pass it without

United Auto Workers Pres

the House action was a dis

labor. It was a product of an
"unholy alliance of the Na

The council unanimously

lukewarm about the measure
before that time, however.

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.

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

weary band of . 250 men

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.

action while northerners said
any other action would have
delayed integration for years
and encouraged defiance of
the courts. 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

The White House and Jus

silence on the appeals court

pressed hope last May 8, when
he announced plans to with

South Angry
But he left the clear impli

send troops again if he felt it
necessary "to preserve the in

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

a bayonet. It has never rieen
