Apathy To Armed Forces
Hit By Gen. 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-

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

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

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."

Secret Radio Frequency
May Prolong Orb's Life
WASHINGTON (UPI) Ex
plorer VI, the Paddlewheel satel
lite circling the earth, carries a
secret designed to save its life
from kibitzers or possible saboteurs.
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. . .
