NEW YORK (UPI) Tha AFL-CIO, worried by dwindling ' membership, automation and ' the growing power o the politi ' c-al right, open its fifth bien nial convention here today in a mood critical of the average American's apathy. "Labor i worried because (he rest of the nation doesn't seem to be worried about our economy, our chronic unem ployment, the drift to the right," aid an AFL - CIO spokesman on the eve of the convention at the Americana Hotel. .

Cost of liv ing increases have offset one third of (lie wage gains negoti ated last year and the average national increase in purchasing power is slackening. Tlic convention is expected to endorse the AFL-CIO Executive Council's drive for a 35-hour work week without loss of pay and penalty pay of double time for overtime. It will also back the administration's tax cut proposals, a vastly expanded public works program, and a sizeable increase in the present federal minimum wage guaran tee of $1.25 an hour. "Full employment cannot be reached in the United States without a cut in the basic work week," said AFL-CIO President George Meany in his report to the convention. "It is as sim ple as that; it is as vital as that. This, then, is the primary task of the fifth convention." Meany conceded that Negro demands for complete desegre gation of unions and greater op portunity for apprenticeship and Jobs may be a major sub ject for debate. The council's own civil rights task force will report to the convention next Monday with the railway por ters' A. Philip Randolph, only Negro AFL-CIO vice president, leading the discussion. High on the list of topics up for discussion are methods of boosting voter registration above the 60-70 per cent mark In the 1964 presidential election. Meany has stated (hat only greater participation at the polls, particularly by the work ing class, will stem "attacks on America's social gain and dem ocratic institutions by organiza tions such as (he John Birch Society." Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of New York, first avowed candi date for tlie GOP presidential nomination, was the first major speaker on today's schedule. i r All T.AT ' Walt Disney ''''A THREE AGAINST THE WILDERNESS I Life In Small Town Relaxing? Eight-Year Study Finds It's Not So TECUMSEH. Mich. lPI -Life in small town may not be as relaxing as some people would have you believe. At least, that's what the Uni versity of Michigan found during its long study of this southeastern Michigan commun ity of about 10,000. More than one big city busi nessman, confronted with ulcers and jangling nerves, has had his physician tell him to re lax and take it easy, perhaps adding the suggestion that the quiet life in a smaller commun ity would prove the cure. But eight years of study by the U. of M. Sclwol of Public Health indicates that life in the small town may not be relaxing after all. Almost the entire pop ulation of Tecumseh took part in the experiment. The univers ity has now issued its first re port and some of the informa tion Is startling. The report shows that "a re markably high" incidence ot heart disease in middle-aged people was evident in Tecum seh.

(UPI) The story of Gene Thomp son's "other life" finally has been told and it's a tale of aft ernoons in downtown hotels and overnight trysts in Minnesota's northern woods and a lakeside cottage. It's a talc of how a smooth, silken lawyer with cverylhing going for him strung along his well-built, baby doll-talking sec rotary until finally she married a husky truck driver. But the big question remains without an answer: Did the college kid criminal lawyer break off with his ina morata, swearing never to marry Jacqueline? Or did he tell her, "Give me 11 months," time enough (o buy a million dollars worth of insurance on his wile?

Also a mother of three, a di vorcee, who married again, wilh a confessed desire to "be like other people." Her eyos.were red from weep ing and she twisted a handker chief in her hands.

And finally, the silent, invisi ble image of Carol Thompson, 34, an heiress, and by every one's agreement including her husband "an excellent wife and a very, very good mother." The "other woman" (old about numerous trysts with Thompson in hotels, motels, the Thompson summer home at Lake Forest, and in her apart ment.

Chronic diseases in adults generally was well above what the researchers had expected. The university set up the stu dy in 1956 with the aid of a grant from the American Heart Association and the U.S. Public Health Service. The first report on the results were made this week in Kansas City at a meet ing of the American Public Health Association. The report was made by Dr. Frederick H. Epstein ol the U. of M. Cardio vascular Research enter. The report showed, among other things: One-fifth of the population of Tecumseh above middle age had abnormally high blood pressure. A striking climb, relative to ape, was found in the per centage of people over 50 who suffered from multiple disor- i ders. Six per cent of tlie women and 12 per cent of the men in their 50s had coronary artery disease. One-fifth of the middle-aged people had high blood sugar and high cholesterol. Diabetes was detected in 3 per cent of the women and 2 per cent of the men in their 50s. - Eleven per cent of the men and 2 per cent of the women in their 50s have chronic bronchi tis and 5 per cent of the wom en and 1 per cent of tlie men in the same age group have rheumatoid arthritis.
