-An Air Force Thor thunder
ed skyward today packing a
small movie camera capable
of taking pictures 300 miles
above the earth.
The versatile snub-nosed
Thor blasted off in a rare

The nose cone and its cam

House Factions at Odds Over Labor Reform
Bill; Substitute Measure Being Drawn Up
Washington (DPD House
factions engaged in a tug of
war today over the latest
version of a labor reform bill.
Reps. Phil M. Landrum (D
Ga.) and Robert P. Griffin (R
Mich.) told a press conference
they are shaping a substitute
measure to be offered when
the House takes up the pre
sent bill.
Landrum and Griffin said
their proposal would toughen
up the measure. Both said
they voted in favor of the
committee bill simply to get
some sort of proposal before
the House.
Democratic liberals, mean
while, were trying to pull the
bill in the opposite direction.
They f ayor elimination of cer
tain provisions which they
claim would penalize legiti
mate unions rather than clean
ing up rackets.
I The committee bill is con
siderably softer than the Sen
ate version although it covers
the same general area of
labor-management, abuses.
.The, administration favors a
version even stronger than
the Senate bill.

mg campaign In newspapers
and over the radio to inform
the public about the safe use
of the bags, commonly used to
package laundry and dry
cleaning.
The industry warned that
the plastic should never be
used as makeshift covers in
cribs or playpens or for mat
tresses or upholstery and
should never be given to chil
dren as playthings. The bags
should be torn or tied in
knots and discarded.
Manufacturers have urged
Congress not to pass hasty
laws against plastic bags
Spokesmen for the industry
say education, not legislation,
is the answer to the problem.
Fifteen states and ten cities
have considered legislation
against the bags.'
Suffocations Similar
The suffocations have been
strikingly similar. Many have
occurred when the plastic has
been placed in cribs to protect
mattresses. The victims have
died when the thin film clung
to their faces, shutting out
air. '
However at least two ba
bies have suffocated when
plastic other than the kind
used for packaging cut off
their breathing. One of these
deaths occurred Tuesday at
West Haven, Conn., when stat
ic electricity drew the plastic
lining of a car crib against an
infant's mouth. The other
happened in New York June
23 when the plastic surface
of a mattress cover adhered
to an infant's face.

Azerbaijan Republic, com

cause their instructor eats
garlic every day.
The Teachers' Gazette, a
Moscow newspaper, reported
on the crises in grade 4A
caused by "the' strange fond
ness for garlic of teacher, F.
G. Ruzanov."
"The children complain the
odious odor of garlic deprives
them of the opportunity to
sit quietly in the classroom
and makes them hurry to get
out in the fresh air," the news
paper said.
Ordered to quit eating the
stuff, Ruzanov replied, "I ate,
am eatipg and will continue
to eat , garlic."

Killer Executed
At Sing Sing
Ossining, N. Y.-flJPD-Leroy
Keith, 52, of Akron, Ohio,
was executed at Sing Sing
Prison Thursday night for the
slaying of a cab driver dur
ing a 1956 holdup. . ,
Keith's electrocution had
been delayed five times, twice
to allow him to lodge an ap
peal with the U. S. Supreme
Court. On both occasions, the
high court refused to step into
the case.
H said just before his death
that he was "disappointed in
New York Gov. Nelson A.
Rockefeller for not staying
his execution again. His law
yer had told him he had no
other legal moves to take, but
Keith had maintained up to
the last that "I may be lucky
again."
At the time of the Decem
ber, 1956, shooting of cab
driver Joseph Suro of Jersey
City, Keith was on parole
from a life murder sentence
in Ohio and was wanted for
questioning in connection
with another Ohio killing.
Keith was convicted of
killing Suro after the cab
driver refused to follow direc
tions given by Keith and three
companions who had taken
the cab to go to a supermarket
they planned to hold up.
According to trial testi
mony, Suro was shot when he
refused to turn into the wrong
end of a one-way street, then
tried to signal policemen
parked nearby in a patrol car.
