CONTAMINATED TUNA FISH - The death Wednesday of
two Detroit area housewives from botulinus poisoning is
believed to have been caused by eating the contents of a
contaminated can of tuna fish bearing the A&P brand label.
The cans were part of a shipment from a west coast packer
bearing the code numbers, "WY3Y2" and the bottom line
"118X". The A&P food stores have removed all cans bearing
this code but emphasized that the tuna fish has not definitely
been determined to have caused either death. Housewives
were urged to check their shelves for this brand of tuna fish
bearing this serial number. (UPI)

Two SF Men Charged With Lye Attack
Ran Francisco flJPD An
unemployed bowling alley
ninfipttor and a 17-vear-old
youth were charged Wednes
day night with the caustic lye
attack on a San Francisco
delicatessen owner.
Albert Benjamin Lucero,
52, seized in San Francisco,
told police he paid $15 to Ru
rinlrjh Hoskins. 17. to "rough
up" Harry Goldman because
of jealousy over a woman
employee in his delicatessen.
Tnsnpntnr Gus Coreris said
Lucero made a full confes
sion.
Goldman, 48, was blinded
in one eye last Wednesday
when a young Negro entered
his store and threw liquid lye
intn hia eves. Doctors are not
sure whether vision in his
right eye can be restored.
Bit Fingernails
At City Prison, where he
was booked for assault with
a caustic chemical, Lucero bit
his fingernails and mumbled,
"all this over a woman.
He said the woman was
Governor Seeks
Reorganization
Sacramento - IUPD - Gov.
Edward G. Brown Wednesday
proposed an "extensive but
cautious" plan for reorganiza
tion of state government to
the 1963 legislature.
He called the program a
conservative and logical" ex
tension of the first stage re
forms put into effect by the
1961 legislature.
'I have no doubt they will
arouse controversy, he said
in a special message to the
lawmakers. "It is, unfortun-
tely. the nature of govern
ment to multiply rather than
simplify its functions.
'But controversy must not
divert us from answering
positively the question that
confronts government at all
levels today: How can we
serve the people more effic
iently, more responsively and
more economically?"
One proposal was a sort of
catch-all. It was a constitu
tional amendment granting
the governor sweeping reor
ganization powers - subject to
legislative veto.
Under this part of the pro
gram, Brown would be able
to transfer any unit of govern
ment to another, consolidate
functions within a unit, abol
ish part or all of the functions
of any jurisdiction and abol
ish any unit whose functions
are obsolete.

TEXANS HEAR SLOCANS
Austin, Tex. - (UPD - It may
be true what they say about
Texas. Among three resolu
tions heard by a House com
mittee Wednesday suggesting
slogans for state license plates
was "Texas Has Everything."
Esther Dumo, a matronly
clerk whom he had known for
ten years. "I was mad," Lu
cero told police, "because
Esther left me and was friend
ly with Goldman."
Lucero told officers he had
intended that both Goldman
and Mrs. Dumo be "roughed
up." He said "I didn't want
them hurt bad, just slapped
around, like it was a robbery,
so it would be reported to
police. This would be embar
rassing to them."
He said he told Hoskins "he
could keep what he might find
in the till."
Picked Up
Hoskins, who has a criminal
record including a rape
charge, was picked up at the
home of his mother in San
Diego, where he was trans
ferred to the custody of San
Francisco officers Sgt. John
Fotinos and Lt. Frank Gregg.
Fotinos said Hoskins told
him he knew nothing of the
assault on Goldman. "He
doesn't recall when he left
San Francisco, he just said he
came here aboard a bus to
help his mother," Fotinos said.
In San Francisco, officers
said two acquaintances of
Hoskins told them that the
husky Hoskins had spoken of
the attack on Goldman the
day before it happened. They
said he told them, "I'm going
to do this guy in. I'm going
to pop his eye out."
Lucero was picked up in
San Francisco at about the
same time Hoskins was seized
in San Diego. Police, follow
ing a tip that a man of his
general description had been
seen in the neighborhood of
Goldman's store the day of the
attack, arrested him on a
street corner.
Issued Plea
Coreris and Fotinos had
been baffled by the apparent
senselessness of the attack,
and had issued a plea for pub
lic assistance in finding the
assailant.
Police said that Lucero's
only reason for jealousy of
Goldman was that he had fol
lowed in his car several nights
as the delicatessen owner
drove his clerk home after
work.
Mrs. Dumo, whose legs
were burned by the lye, iden
tified Hoskins from photo
graphs as the attacker. In
formed of Lucero's confessed
role, she said, "If that's true
then he's an animal."
Goldman's wife, at her hus
band's side in the hospital,
said, "The man (Lucero) is
obviously sick and needs help.
It shows how twisted some
people become in this world.
It's so ridiculous."
Police later announced that
they had arrested two juve
niles in connection with an
attack against Goldman four
days earlier.
Goldman received burns on
