"Completely false," Meany said In a statement Friday after sources in the AFL-CIO reported he had not objected to recent non aggression discussions between two AFL-CIO officials and the (wo unions the International Longshoremen's Assn. and, the Teamsters'. The talks were said to have been aimed at a waterfront agree ment to end jurisdictional disputes between the AFL-CIO's Seafarers International Union and the ILA. Under the reported proposal, the ILA would stop raiding the SIU at Great Lakes and Puerto Rican ports and the SIU would not try to organize in the ILA's East Coast territory. Challenging the reports, Meany g'aid the AFL-CIO is not backing a jurisdictional pact between any of its affiliates and the ILA. "I had no prior knowledge of the meeting referred to ana most cer tainlv would not have given ap proval had I been requested to do so," Meany said. Attending the talks were Paul Hall. SIU head, and Harry O'Reil- Iv. executive secretary of the AFL-CIO Maritime Trades De partment. Also taking part were heads of the two expelled unions ILA President William V. Bradley and Teamster President James R'. Hoffa. ' Hoffa is reoorted to want peace between the two maritime unions because his teamsters respect picket lines of both groups and thus sometimes are caught in the middle. The ILA was expelled from the old AFL in 1953 on charges it was dominated by racketeers. The Teamsters were ousted from the AFL-CIO last year on corruption charges.

JOHN PEDERSEN Doors Open At Mission Fastest Flyer Has Bad Time Vith Interview On Record Breaking Try LOS ANGELES ( It was a day of both glittering triumph and embarrassment for Air Force Capt. Walter Wayne Irwin. First, he flew a jet plane Frl rlav to a new world record speed 1.404.19 m.p.h., 19S"j m.p.h. faster than the former mark. The Air Force chief of staff hung a Distinguished Flying Cross on him. Then, ia an interview, he com mitted the innocent kind of blun der only another husband can un derstand. Was this, a reporter in quired, ta-e most exciting day of his life? "I would fty so bar none!" boomed the handsome, 34-year-old combat veteran. "Thanks a lot!" exclaimed his pretty wife. Christine, with mock sarcasm. Flown here by the Air Force from their Novate Calif. home for the announcement of his feat, she was thinking, no doubt. of their 1954 wedding day in Ar lington, Va. "Make that the second most ex citing day!" Irwin cried as they boih lauchcfl. Mrs. Irwin described him: "He Is easy to lie with, has an easy going temperament." Of his flight she said: "I'm real proud of him." Irwin, husky, of average height, with blue eyes and a crew cut receding at the temples, is so modest it's hard to pry out of him his adventures. Born in Everett, Wash., and reared in Wenatchee. he enlisted in the Air Corps in January 1542 His closest call came when he was strafing a German air field 90 miles east of Leipzig toward the end of the war. Antiaircraft fire crippled his P47's engine. He bel lied in and was capiured. "They held me in a hospital prisoner-of-war camp there for seven days although I wasn't in jured." he recalled. Then I went over the fence. I saw a bike leaning against a nam and rode it about 25 miles to the American lines." He got a previous DFC for de stroying a trainload of ammuni tion in the Ruhr Valley with machine-gun fire in 1944. He flew 88 P47 combat missions, destroy ing IS enemy planes on the ground. Leaving the Ail" Force In '45, he flew charter flights and in structed two years for a Wenat chee air service. Then he did crop dusting and instructing at La Grande. Ore., until the Air Force recalled him in 1951. Irwin is a flight commander of Ihe 83rd Fighter Interceptor Squadron. Hamilton AFB, near San Francisco.

Clair Engle ID-Calif.), chairman of the full Interior Com mittee, asked them to delay their request because he has to fly to California and did not want to he absent from Congress when the bill was being considered. "We agreed to the postponement after the chairman gave firm as surances (hat the matter will be considered on its merits June II with no parliamentary shenani cans." Utt said. An Utt-Saylor motion to dis charge the subcommittee of re- snonsibilily for the bill was de feated by a 14-14 vote in the full committee Wednesday.

The incident occurred as Jack son was escorting Julia Ann and her sister, Judy, 4, through the zoo. 1 lie girls had come here with their mother from Chilliwack, B.C., for a visit. Julia Ann, clutching a bag of peanuts, somehow got away from her grandfather and squeezed through a 3'i-foot guard rail which keeps spectators some six feet away from the lion cages. A lion suddenly grabbed her. Police said the only other ap parent eyewitness was Wesley Dildy, 12, part of a school group visiting the zoo from Princess Anne County. Va. Young Dildy tola tnis story; The rest of the class was down the hill. I heard a loud scream by the lion's cage.

Miss England Chosen For Third Time; This Time Wiih Stricier Judging LONDON (UP)-Miss England: of 1958 was chosen for the third time Friday night this time be hind guarded doors. Dorothy Hazeldine, a 19-year-old hairdresser, was proclaimed the winner, after contest officials took every precaution to avoid the mix ups that marred two previous competitions. June Cooper, a Sunday School teacher, won the title originally but relinquished the crown after confessing she was a year under the minimum age limit of 17. Be sides, her mother said she was too young for all the cocklail par ies that go with the title and ordered her to step down. bo another contest was held. Wendy Peters emerged the win ner despite angry protests from mothers of losers that she was wearing a girdle under her swim- suit. She had to give up the title anyway, when she revealed she was married. Friday night doormen at the swank Cafe de Paris barred all mothers. Female dressing room guards made sure the contestants were not wearing any artificial aids. Contest organizer Eric Mere ly read "the banns" before an nouncing the winner. Has anybody any reason why any of these girls should not win?" Morcly asked. "Please speak now, not afterwards." Nobody spoke up so he pro claimed Miss Hazeldine the win ner.
