Cancerous Leg Despite Fears, Cleveland, Ohio upi - Christine Simko, the 14-year-old who led from the hospital last week in fear of the amputation of her right leg to save her cancer . threatened life, today was in satisfactory condition after undergoing the surgery Monday. I Christine's mother, Lillie, who opposed the operation, said after the amputation was com pleted that her daughter would "fret and fret." The hemi-pelvectnmy re moval of tlie leg at the hip was performed by a team of surgeons at Metropolitan Gen eral Hospital in a six-hour op eration. A malignant tumor threatened Christine's life. - Physicians said it would be about five years before it would be known if the operation was a success. Mrs, Simko, S3, a di vorcee, said she didn't under stand how an artificial limb could be fitted to her daughter without a hip, but doctors as sured her a waist attachment could be used. Mrs. Simko's opposition to the operation resulted in a Ju venile Court ruling granting permission for the amputation. Mme. Nhu Sets Trip BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (UPl South Viet Nam's Mme.

High Court Refuses Hoffa Plea WASHINGTON (UPD The Supreme Court refused today to examine the claim of Teamster President James R. Hoffa that he was indicted on charges of jury tampering in Tennessee by an improperly constituted grand jury. The brief order let stand lower federal court rulings that this legal issue should not be brought up at this stage in the proceedings. It thus cleared the way for the trial to take place. A federal grand jury charged Hoffa and six .others with ap proaching jurors and their rela tives in the fall of 1962, offer ing cash and other inducements to acquit Hoffa in a trial then taking place. The trial, involv ing Taft-Hartley Act charges, ended in a hung jury. A federal district court in Nashville had set Oct. 14 for the jury tampering trial when holla challenged the grand jury. He contended that Ne groes, Catholics. Jews, manual laborers and members of or ganized labor were improperly excluded from the panel. He also contended that the "sug gestors" who proposed names of grand jurors were not a true cross-section of the community. Hoffa also said he didn't get a fair break because the "sug gestors" knew the grand jury was especially established to consider the case of one "who lias been the target of an un-. precedented, well - publicized campaign by the present (na tional I administration." inside, trim outside.

Minn. (UPD Something lurid in story form and fact foundation begins in Hennepin District Court today. The Thompson "hire-a-mur-dcr" trial moves from the te dium of the life-insurance policy blank to the gory business of the arena of violent death. Timler Eugene Thompson, the insurance man's bonanza, now sits to hear the state's detailing of the botched brutality that switched his wife's slaying from alleged pretended drowning to sadistic bludgeoning and stab bing. The state contends Thompson, a 35-year-old criminal lawyer, went into the hire-a-murdor market and put someone else in the driver's scat. This, the state charges, was after an 11-month spree of buying insurance on her life totaling $1.055.000 with himself as beneficiary. The insurance testimony in the first-degree murder trial consumed the first week of evi dence in the stale's case against the baby-faced little towhead, a former Presbyterian elder and man of impeccable social stand ing in the Twin City of St. Paul. The stale now turns to the terror of the crime itself.

I. But the enormity of the crime's execution will occupy a major portion of the prosecution effort from now on if they can get the grisly pictures of the savagely killed women and some of the testimony about her condition into the record. She was so badly beaten that the condition of her face turned the stomachs of hospital doclors. " Among the upcoming witness es was Mrs. Harry C. Nelson, into whose home Carol Thomp son staggered around 9 a.m. last March 6, a knife blade broken off into her windpipe, her face unrecognizable. Anoth er was Dick W, C. Anderson, 34, a hard-drinking salesman w ho was reported to have con fessed performing' the actual slaying after bungling his chance to make death appear the result of an accidental fall and bathtub drowning. The state will attempt to prove Anderson was hired by a middleman named Norman J. Mastrian, a college mate of the Thompsons who used cash passed to him by the defendant. Power Granting Proposal Splits Council Three Ways In. ted Press International VATICAN CITY UP1-U.S. bishops at the Ecumenical Council split three ways today in a vigorous debate over a proposal to gi ant ecclesiastical law-making powers to church groups like the U.S. National Catholic Welfare Conference (NCWCi. James Francis Cardinal Mc Intyrc of Los Angeles vche hcmenlly opposed the entire idea as a threat to papal su premacy. Joseph Cardinal Rit ler of St. Louis indorsed it as an effective way to promote de centralisation of authority in the Catholic Church. Albert Cardinal Meyer of Chi cago, speaking for 120 of the approximately 160 U.S. bishops at the council, took a middle position. He said national conferences of bishops should have author ity to adopt binding legislation on matters which have been delegated to them by the Pope fur decision. Cardinal Mclnlyre, one of the most conservative members of the U.S. Catholic hierarchy, said he favors national confer ences of bishops only if they are completely voluntary, like the NCWC at present, and have no power whatever lo force any Be Modern When It's ' fVlUVt You pay "Or ouf well padded vans . . . tipari nctd, courteous drivtrs . . . and raipofttiblo strvtc.

Taxpayers who pay their fees on or before Nov. 15 are en titled to a three per cent dis count. Those who pay their tax es after tlie deadline will be assessed a small i n t er e s t charge, accrued quarterly, on the balance due. Caldwell said. The total revenues to be raised in county taxes this year amounts to $5,285,394.39, as dis closed by Caldwell. Generally, the tax burden is considerably less this year than it was in 19(2 for residents of the county's 45 taxing districts. Tlie overall drop in taxes is primarily the result of an in crease of some $2.5 million in I lie assessed valuation of the county which is up from $88. 1 million to SM.6 million since last year. The effect of this in creased value of the county is to broaden the tax burden among more taxpayers. Of the 45 taxing districts, tax es were down in all but one dis trict, Caldwell said. Bureau Appeals For Sales Tax SALEM (UPI) The Oregon Farm Bureau Federation opened a three-day convention here to. day with an appeal for enact ment of a state sales lax. Farm Bureau President Har old Beach told delegates the bu reau previously had called for enactment of a sales tax and "that should be foremost on our list of projects." The Farm Bureau proposal is closely aligned with a sales tax plan of Hep. Joe Rogers, R-In-dependencc. Resolutions asking for lessen ing of governmental controls on farms were to be introduced. GETS EARLY STAUT WASHINGTON (UPD Theo dore C. Sorenscn, special coun sel to President Kennedy, point ed up a possible 1964 presiden tial campaign issue Monday. Sorensen told the Women's National Democratic Club that Kennedy had "devoted more years to major elective office than the leading three Republi can candidates combined." He listed Sen. Barry Goldwatcr, R-Ariz., New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller and Michigan Gov. George Romney. individual bishops to abide by their decisions. Cardinal Rittcr, one of the most liberal U.S. prelates, told the council that "it Is false" to assert that the national confer ences would amount to an inter vening authority between the Pope and individual bishops. He said concerted action on the part of all the bishops of a country is an imperative ne cessity in these days, especial ly on social and moral prob lems. Rider urged approval of the document before the council as it stands. Boat Capsizes, Pair Survives BANDON. Ore.
