Jimmy Stewart By VERNON SCOTT VPl Hollywood Correspondent HOLLYWOOD (UPll - Brig. Gen. Jimmy Stewart was demoted to the rank ol major for his new movie, but he's still the first gen eral to wear star billing along with stars on his epaulettes. Jimmy Stewart, the actor, and Jimmy Stewart the general arc astonishingly different people. Actor Stewart is a' seemingly bumbling, Inarliculale character with a folksy disposition and a placid view on life. General Jim my is a tough, dedicated Air Force officer who fires straight from the shoulder. There was no healing around the bush when Stewart was asked how he felt about being assigned a desk jockey job in Washington contingent on his recent promo tion to general. He doesn't like the Idea. Wine Shipments Show Decline SAN FRANCISCO UPI - Cali fornia wineries shipped in.n,B24 gallons into distribution channels during June, according to , the Wine Institute. Wednesday's report said that shipments' were 3.85 per cent less than ft he amount shipped in the corresponding 1958 period, but above the. figures for the prior five years; Shipments for the first six months of 1951) were 61. 150,482 gal Ions, compnred with 67.000,421 for the first half of 1958. I NOW PLAYING ; "Frankly, 1 don't think I'll be as elfective as an information of ficer as I would be if I were in volved in actual combat com mand," he said. "The same thing came up during World War 11 when they tried to make me a recruiter, a information officer and a morale booster. They even wanted me to make movies for the services. 'I talked them 'into letting me become a pilot, and eventually I flew 20 missions over Europe in B24s." Jimmy, currently starring as a major in Columbia's "The Moun tain Road," is convinced that in case of war, his assignment swift ly would be changed to include an active status in the Strategic Air Command. I realize a movie actor is an o(l beat breed of cat to the mili tary establishment," he said. "But there's nothing that says an actor can't be a man who can do an ef fective job as an officer with du lies that normally befall an air man." Stewart then struck out at pub lie apathy to our armed services "Most people think if war comes along we can telephone in 0 u r war effort," he charged. "Mean while they turn their backs to the possibility of war and our men in uniform. They figure if they don' pay any attention to the services maybe they'll just disappear. "That's wrong. We must have a pro-military establishment that is as well respected as any other profession. 'The men in the Air Force are the finest group of individuals I've met anywhere. Being in the Air Force has made a better man iind, yes, a better American out of me. This attitude must be ex ploitcd and increased." ing dispatch, the chief counsel of the Senate Rackets Committee concludes that dealing with cor ruption is a problem for busi ness and the bar for all Ameri cans as well as unions. By ROBERT F. KENNEDY Rackets Committee Counsel WASHINGTON IUPI) In two and a half years, the Senate Rackets Committee has heard a parade of witnesses who have told stories of theft, extortion. double-dealing or other forms of man's mistreatment of his lei low man. , A great deal of this kind of tes timony has led some people to the conclusion that the fault lies solely with labor. Nothing could be further from the truth. The committee has looked into rela tively few unions, and where cor ruption has been shown, the AFL- ClO has often moved vigorously and effectively to deal with the problem. The expulsion from the AFL-CIO of the Teamsters and Bakery It Confectionery Workers Unions are two such examples. At the same time, the commit tee has looked into some 50 com panies and corporations. No busi ness group has yet to take any action comparable to that of la bor against these business enter- Kim NOVAK NtiDtic MARCH fit ENDA F'ARKI.I I.

BIG FEATURES 3 3 Editor's Not: In the follow- 'prises, which have been shown to have engaged in unsavory prac tices. In addition, we have had a number of lawyers about whom there has been serious derogatory information. Some lawyers have invoked the Fifth Amendment be fore the committee. Vet, bar as sociations have yet to take the tirsl action against any of . these offending members of the legal profession. The corruption we have uncov ered weaves from labor to man agement to lawyers to all seg ments of our society. This is not labor's problem any more than it is management's or the taxpay er's problem. It is a problem that strikes at every one of us; this corruption is a problem for all of us as Americans. The committee of necessity has had to explore the seamy sjde in the field of labor-management re lations, but a great many people showed great courage and we should not lose sight of their brave fight against tyranny and corruption. 1 James Luken 01 Cincinnati is such an example. ' A leading Teamster official, he provided a marked contrast to the 100 fel low Teamster leaders who ap peared before the committee and invoked the Fifth Amendment. He testified forthrightly about his fight with James R. Hofta since he became head of a Milk Wagon Drivers local in Cincinnati, and then head of the Joint Council there. He told without dramatics the threats to his life how a hearse showed up at his home one day to pick up his body: how flowers were sent to his funeral. He told of his bitter fights with William Presser, the president of the Ohio Conference of Team sters, whom the committee has labeled corrupt. He related hnw Holla told him: "If yob want to get ahead in the Teamsters in Ohio, you take orders from Bill Presser. He's my man." When Presser appeared before the com- Gary, Eldest Crosby Son, Tells Of Rift With Dad LAS VEGAS, Nev. (UPI)-Gary! Crosby, eldest son of crooner Bing Crosby, admitted today he is bitterly estranged from his father. "We just don't get along," he told United Press International in an exclusive interview. Gary, 26, said Bing has not yet come to see him and his three brothers Dennis, Philip and Lindsay in their smash new nightclub act at the Sahara Hotel here. And, he added, he has no in tention of extending an invitation to the crooner. "The other boys can invite him if they want," he said. "Ain't gonna bother me in the least." There have been reports from friends of the Crosby family that Bing might slip into town quietly some night to catch the show, which began July 28 and will end Sept. 3. But in Hollywood, Bing's broth er and business adviser, Larry, said: "I doubt it. Bing has no such plans that I know of. One reason Is that he's with a group fishing off Alaska. "I'm not going up to Vegas The boys want to be on their own, and I imagine Bing feels Acid Fumes Fell 65 NEW YORK (API-Acid fumes felled 65 people in Brooklyn Tues day and more than 1,000 others were evacuated from homes and businesses nearby. Twelve per sons were hospitalized. City Fire Marshal Martin Scott said a truck was delivering 300 gallons of nitric acid to an elec tric equipment manufacturer. The truck driver was directed to the wrong pipe, and started pumping the acid into a basement tank that already contained a quantity of hydrochloric acid. The resulting reaction ate away part of the flange of the pumping pipe and spread fumes through a two-block area. Firemen finally managed to empty the acid into a basement drain, flushing it down with water and neutralizing agents. TOADS WIN AT CRICKET INSTOW, England UPI - The worm Deveon - Free Forester cricket match had to be delayed Tuesday when thousands of toads look over the field. The toads sr. rived after a heavy rain, and the cricket match was resumed only after they hopped away. Some of them even broke all customs of British courtesy by hopping unin vited into the bar near the crick et pitch (field). miltee he invoked the Fifth Amendment. The committee has found that the mark of corrupt labor lead ership is its affinity for close re lationship with employers; the frequent sell-out of union mem bers. In Ohio, where the contracts are higher than the Hoffa-negoti-ated Michigan contracts, Luken and his associates have had to fight "side deals" executed by Holfa with large trucking com panies, to the detriment of the members. In New York, where the contracts are far superior to those negotiated in the Midwest, Teamster official Tom Hickey stood his ground against Hoffa in 1934 and won for them wage in creases far in excess of what Hof fa had told the large motor car-: riers they could settle lor. Luken and Hickey are but two examples of the majority of Teamster officials throughout the country who are honest and who devote their energies to the im provement of conditions of their1 fellow workers. One of the committee's most in spiring witnesses was John Me Niff, a 23-year-old lawyer whose New York group took up the cause of thousands of Negro and Puerto Rican workers, working lor sweatshop wages and under sweatshop conditions in small the same way about it that I do Gary, sitting in his dressing room between shows, said: 'Dad did some things last Christmas that 1 felt were far from right. They're personal very personal, and 1 can't explain any more. But he's done a lot of other things in the past that 1 didn t like. 1 m sure no one knows him as well as I do. though a lot of people think they do." 'We always wanted to be to gother in show business," Gary said. "We just waited until Linnie got out of the Army. We always knew we could get along on our own although some people, of course, didn't think so." Gary conceded the Crosby name has "helped" the brother act. - "But," he said, "you've gotta have something' else to make it because If you're out there five minutes and nothing happens, dad, you're dead. "And in some ways, the name has hurt us. There's no way for us to start at the bottom, where we could learn. People . expect something . immediately when they see the Crosby name." 1.

The secret is the frequency of a receiver to which scientists on earth from time to time send ra dio commands governing 30 dif ferent functions built into the sat ellite. One of these functions, which may or may not ever be exer cised, is the firing of a five- pound, 14-inch rocket in Explor er's spine. The rocket was put there to prolong the satellite's life in the event something went wrong at its birth. Nothing went wrong, however, and the rocket was not fired. But the rocket is still in place. If it were fired accidentally or on purpose at the wrong moment, it could doom Explorer VI to a fiery early death. As long as the vital frequency is kept secret, however, there is little chance that the firing sig nal will be dispatched before Ex plorer VI has lived out its useful span. The Paddlewheel satellite waj launched into an orbit which car ries it within 157 miles of thH earth at the low end perigee), and out to 26,400 miles at the ton 'apogee). Its lifetime is estimat ed at more than a year, which is what the scientists wanted S to be. Toward the end of the saleU lite's natural life span, scientists may fire the kick rocket just as a test. Similar equipment proh. ably will be used some day tS control the course of manned saU cllitcs 01 other spacecraft. ' But if the rocket were fired at the wrong moment in Explorer's (11,140-mile circuit of the earth, the effect could be to throw the! satellite out of orbit and send it plunging like a meteor to disas ter. . .
