Book Claims Goldwater
Pal of Dead Gangsters
PITTSBURGH (UPI) - Sen.
Barry Goldwater described as
"trash" Saturday a book which
said he was a friend of two big
time hoodlums who have been
murdered.
The Las Vegas (Nev.) Review
Journal, in a front-page story
Friday, identified the book as
"The Green Felt Jungle," by
Ed Reid and Ovid Demaris, to
be published by Trident Press
of New York Dec. 13. Reid
worked on a series of Brooklyn

posed a $20 million gambling
empire in New York and won
for the newspaper a Pulitzer
Prize in 1951. "The Green Felt
Jungle" is about gambling in
Las Vegas.
The book charges that gam
bling in Las Vegas is controlled
by organized crime syndicates.
It has quotes saying that
Goldwater was a friend for
many years of Gus Greenbaum,
manager of the Riviera Casino,
and Willie Bioii, a convictea ex
tortionist. Both maintained
homes at Phoenix, Ariz., Gold
water's home town.
"Looking into" Libel
Goldwater told a news confer
ence here the book's allegations
"wouldn't have any effect on a
presidential campaign" if he
decides to seek the Republican
nomination. "It's trash and the
American people won't want to
have anything to do with it. In
fact, it might even be libelous.
We're looking into that."
Goldwater said he had never
been a "personal friend" of
Bioff, but that he had known
him under the name of "Al Nel
son" and that "Nelson" had
contributed to his campaign
fund years ago. He said that
much later Bioff introduced
himself to Goldwater under his
real name.
Goldwater said he had known
Greenbaum when Greenbaum
ran a grocery in pnoenix De
fore moving to Las Vegas.
Journal Quotes Book
The Las Vegas Review
Journal quoted the book as saying:
"In 1955 Bioff found an even
more unlikely friend: The jun
ior senator from Arizona, Barry
Goldwater. The two men were
often seen together and Gold
water . . . personally chauf
feured Bioff in bis private
plane all over the southwest to
attend various parties.
"When questioned by report
ers, Goldwater became indig
nant, protesting that he had no
idea that his friend, one Wil
liam Nelson, was the notorious
Willie Bioff.
Later the senator changed
his story. Bioff, he said, was
helping him in his study of
American labor, giving him a
special insight into union rack
eteering. To this day, Goldwa
ter Is still pleading that he did
not knw Nelson was Bioff . . ."
Flashing Traffic
Signal Planned
At Fire Station
A flashing traffic signal will
be moved some time this week
from its present location at
Third and Bartlett Streets to
the intersection at the Central
Fire Station on Third and Front
Streets, according to Public
Works Director Veron Thrope.
The move will be made.
Thorpe said, to reduce the pos
sibility of vehicle accidents ai
the fire station intersection pre
venting fire equipment from
reaching the scene of a blaze
quickly.
The change will be made at
the request of the fire depart
ment. The signal was originally
installed at the Third and Bart
lett Streets intersection to cre
ate a fire lane, but fire officials
believe the need is greater at
the new location.
The signal will operate on
flashing red, causing north
bound Front Street and east
bound Third Street traffic to
stop.
Westbound Third Street and
southbound Front Street traffic
will be controlled at the inter
section by a flashing amber sig
nal. Thorpe said there have been
three accidents at the intersec
tion in front of the fire station
during the first eight months
of this year. There were two
accidents there during 1962.

FRITZ REINER
Pneumonia Victim
Famed Symphony
Conductor Fritz
Reiner, 74, Dies
NEW YORK (UPI) - Fritz
Reiner, 74, who fulfilled a boy
hood dream by becoming one of
the world's leading symphonic
orchestra conductors, died in a
hospital Friday of pneumonia.
Among Reiner's great accom
plishments was his success in
raising the once-mediocre Chi
cago Symphony to a position of
eminence in the classical music
world.
Reiner joined the orchestra
as director in 1953. Within a
few years it was regarded as
the second best In the nation.

A heart attack In 1960 cur
tailed his work with the orches

two years later. He had planned
to celebrate his 75th birthday
next month with a four-week
engagement with the Chicago
Symphony.
Reiner, born In Budapest,
Hungary, studied law at the
urging of bis father. But his
mother, an amateur musician,
apparently had a stronger in
fluence on him. He began study
ing the f.srto at the age of 6,
and by the time he was 13 he
had decided to become a conductor.

when It detonated its second
By ANN H. PEARSON
SALEM (UPI) -Two of the
prouder achievements of Ore
gon's past turned into crisis Fri
day in a Jekyll and Hyde trans
formation that jarred the legis
lature's steady pace toward adjournment.
The crisis appeared as the
special session, which opened
Monday, moved within one bill
of completing action on Gov.
Mark Hatfield's stop-gap pro
gram for dealing with Oregon s
fiscal crisis.
The one-shot tax bill, to raise
$12 million more this biennium
by speeding up withholding pay
ments, cleared the Senate and
sped to Hatfield's desk.
The other half ot his program,
authority to reduce basic
school aid, awaited likely Sen
ate approval after passing the
House earlier. 1 '
With these out of the way, leg
islators could go home they
thought since the governor al
ready had the power he needed
to trim other state spending lor
an overall $60 million ad
justment in the state budget.
The adjustment was made ne
cessary by voters rejection of
new taxes.
Two 'Skeletons' Appear'
Then, two past pieces of leg
islation were stripped of their
glamor, and these skeletons
marched from the closet:
The legislature was told it
will have to raise another $552,
000 if it wants to keep bidding
for an industrial park at Board-
nan in northeastern Oregon.
I he legislature learned that
at least some of the tax budget
cutting power which the gover
nor has been exercising is un
constitutional, a n d the legisla
ture may have to take over the
unpleasant and time-consuming
chore itself.
The revelation that the Board
man project billed three years
ago as Oregon's entry into the
space age has gotten nowhere
productive came as a shock.
The immediate reaction of
many legislators was one of dis
enchantment. A hard look ap
peared likely before the legisla
ture would make any more in
vestments there.
The budget-cutting crisis cen
tered on state building projects.
House Speaker Clarence Barton
said the legislature, not the gov
ernor, would have to spell out
the items to be cancelled. The
Ways and Means Committee
agreed to submit legislation to
do it.
But more important, a legal
cloud was draped over the rest
of Hatfield's supposed authority
to adjust state spending. The
situation was fuel on the fire
for those lawmakers who have
insisted all along that the legis
lature should do the job itself.
Legal opinions were ordered.
A ruling that the legislature
must make cuts could throw the
session into days or weeks of
mulling over specific projects
and expenditures.
Other Highlights Friday:
Cigarettes The House voted
to ask the people to approve a
tax of four cents a package on
cigarettes. The bill was killed
in the Senate.
Salaries Enough Senate Dem
ocrats to have their way voted
in caucus against cutting the
salaries of legislators or other
state employes. Democrats also
slapped down a move on the
House floor to advance salary
reduction proposals.
Education The Ways and
means Committee recommended

Further Building
Of Dams Opposed
PORTLAND (UPI) Mem
bers of the Pacific Marine Fish
eries Commission Friday op
posed construction of more hy
droelectric dams in the Pacific
Northwest, and. urged a ban
against importing fish caught in
the North Pacific by means
denied U.S. fishermen. ,
The resolutions, along with
eight others, came at the close
of the groups annual con
vention. The fisheries representatives
urged in their resolution that an
immediate moratorium be put
on all dam proposals by the
Federal Power Commission.
Their opposition was based on
conclusions that additional nu
clear power devices could
supply the electrical needs of
the nation.
