Court of Appeals
Upsets Conviction
Of Apalachin Gang
New York - IUPII - The U.S.
Court of Appeals today re
versed the conviction and sen
tences of 20 delegates to the
Apalachin, N.Y., underworld
convention of Nov. 14, 1957.
The men had been charged

In the opinion of the three

Man, Son Beaten
At Club Parking Lot
A 45-year-old Medford man
and his son were the victims
of an apparently meaningless
assault early Sunday morning
at the 21 Club, 1309 North
Pacific highway.
Police said an estimated 15
persons grabbed an beat up
Robbin Collins Jackson, and
his son Robbin Terry Jackson,
21, both of 1223 Maple Park
dr., as they were getting in
their car at the club parking
lot following the 2:30 a.m.
closing hour Sunday.
The elder Jackson's wife,
Marjorie, was also at the
scene of the assault, but was
apparently not involved. Mrs.
Jackson told police the gang
of men grabbed her husband
and began beating hinu up.
After he was knocked to the
ground, she said, they began
jumping on him.
Robbin C. Jackson was tak
en to Sacred Heart hospital
by Medford Ambulance serv
ice. Hospital officials reported
that he was to be released to
day. None of the family could
give police any reason why
they were attacked. The as
sault was not reported "to po
lice until several hours after
it occurred.
Police are investigating the
incident.
Yugoslavia To Get
New Constitution
Belgrade - HIPP - President
Tito announced to day that
Yugoslavia will adopt a new
constitution in 1962 which
will reduce the role of the
Communist government in the
nation s growing economy and
give more power to the work
er.
Tito said the future const!
tution would make man the
"producer and manag-- while
the state should appear only
as a factor of coordination."
He said this would emancipate
labor "in the sense that the
citizen has the undeniable
right to work and acquire an
equivalent for his work.
The speech, carried by the
official news agency Tanjng,
was made on the occasion of
the 15th anniversary of the
founding of the republic.

ing In thd record of the trial
to show that any violation ot
federal or state law took place
or was planned at the gather
ing . . ."
The 20 delegates to the so-
called "hoodlums convention"
were sentenced last spring to
prison terms running from
three to five years and 13 of
them were fined $10,000 each,
The men were freed in bail
pending their appeal. The de
cision today upset two years
of efforts by federal law en
forcement agencies which had
sought to discover the reason
for the conclave at Apala
chin.
Although many theories
had been advanced, including
that the meeting had been
called to punish members of
the Mafia underworld organi
zation, the government was
not able to prove it.
Major Reversal
The ruling was a major re
versal to the Justice depart
ment's new strategy against
alleged crime syndicates. This
strategy had been to prosecute
for criminal conspiracy in
cases where suspected syndi
cate leaders jointly refused to
answer questions on grounds
of self-incrimination.
The Apalachin case was the
first application of this legal
concept and today's ruling
was the first appellate test.
Dog Bite Said No
Reason for Alarm
Portland - HJPD - A spokes
man for the state board of
health said today that just
because a person is bitten bv
a dog is no reason for alarm
about rabies. '
The health officials issued
the statement so that pets
would not be destroyed need
lessly because of undue con
cern about rabies.
The spokesman said that
certain precautions should be
taken, such as tying up the
dog for observation and con
sultation with the family psy
sician or health officer. "How
ever, there is no need to de
stroy the animal that does not
become sick or show any
symptoms of r a b I e s," the
spokesman said.
