did not learn of his death until he
was buried at St. John's Ceme
tery in Queens after a requiem
mass at St. Stephen's Roman
Catholic Church.
In sharp contrast to the elab

er Albert, who was murdered last
year while silling in a barber
chair, there were only six mourn
ers' cars and two flower cars in
Jerry's cortege. The burial was
strictly a family affair.
Jerry, who also was the broth
er of Brooklyn waterfront boss
Anthony "Tough Tony" Anasta
sia. was for many years business
agent of Local 814 of the Inter
national Longshoremen's Associa
tion. He had been ill for four
years.
Jerry was convicted last year
of lying to a special waterfront

Little Rock School Vote
Focused About Faubus
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. fAP) Lit
tle Rock voters selected a new
school board Saturday to cope with
the problem of meeting local de
mands' for segregation in the face
of federal court orders to inte
grate. Thev chose between a slate
which carried the tacit backing of
Gov. Orval E. Faubus and a
group the governor labeled as in
tegrationist. Polls opened at 8 a.m. and were
scheduled lo close at 6:30 p.m. A
moderate turnout was predicted.
The new board members will
fill the posts of five members who
resigned because of the integra
tion impasse and a sixth who was
elected to Congress.
All 13 candidates have an
nounced their opposition to inte
gration. Campaigning was keyed
largely to the question of who was
against it the strongest.
Faubus, whose school-closing
action touched off the current
6talemate, maintained a hands-off
policy toward the election until
Friday, declaring, "I don't vote
In the Little Rock district."
But less than 24 hours before
the oolls were scheduled to open,
the governor branded a slate of
candidates backed by business
men as "the inlegrationist slate.'
He made no reference to anoth
er slate, supported by the strongly
prosegregatinn Capital Citizens
Council. But his statement was
interpreted to give tacit backing I
to it. ;
The candidates Faubus labeled I
Inlegrationist are W. F. Rector, a
real estate and insurance execu
tive; Everett Tucker, an industri
alist; Ted Lamb, an advertising
executive; Russell H. Matson Jr.,,
a building contractor, and Mrs.j
Charles V. Stephens, a clubwom
an. Members of the opposing slate,,
which has pledged itself to sup-
port Faubus, are Traffic Court
Judge' R. W. Laster; C. C. Railey,1
a union business manager; Ben1
D. Rowland, attorney and former
school administrator; Mrs. Paul
ine Woodson, a real estate execu
tive, and Mrs. Margaret Morri
son, a housewife.
One candidate, Ed I. McKinley
Jr., is unopposed. McKinley is an
attorney and a former state bank
ing commissioner. He seeks the
post lo he vacated when Dr. Dale
Alford Jr. takes the congressional
scat in January he won from Rep.
Brooks Hays (D-Ark with a write
in campaign in the Nov. 4 general
election.
Dr. George P. Branscum, a den
tist, and John W. Clayton, an in
surance executive, are in the race
as independents.
Faubus' denunciation of the
businessmen-backed slale drew
from pne of the slate a charge
that the governor was meddling
and being inconsistent.
Lamb, who has served as the
group's spokesman, said he was
shocked at Faubus' intervention.
"I remember that he has been
a severe critic of outsiders' med
dling in local politics," Lamb
said. "He has stated he does not
vole in the Little Rock School
District. Therefore, I consider
Faubus an outsider and by golly,
he's meddling." .
None of the candidates has said
what he planned to do about an
order of the 8th U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals to resume inte
gration. The order directs U.S.
District Judge John L. Miller of
Fort Smith to take affirmative
sleps to force the reopening of
Little Rocks four public high
schools and to bring about inte
gration.
The five board members who
resigned did so after the appellate
court issued its order early in No
vember. They declared they were
caught between federal and slate
pressure and described their po
sition as one of "hopelessness,
helplessness and frustration."
Little Rock's high schools did
not open at all this year. Faubus
ordered them shut lo avoid court-
ordered integralion.
All except about 600 of the 3,700
students affected are enrolled In
piivate schools or public schools
elsewhere.
