times in iie best manner that
we can. We will do what comes

2nd Hoffa
Attorney
Disbarred
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (UPI)-A
second attorney was barred
from federal court Wednesday
In connection with the jury tam
pering case of Teamsters Presi
dent James R. Hoffa.
U.S. District Court Judges
William E. Miller and iFrank

ment of Harry Beard Jr., a

tioned m a Dec. 6 indictment

union ilcader's 1962 conspiracy

had 'Voluntarily" appeared for
a hearing Dec. 13 before Miller
and Gray.
Beard, according to the order,
said he did not turn down Os
bom's proposition, or report it
to the court, because of "flat
tery," at being approached by
someone of Osborn's profession
al stature, and "fear for my
personal safety."
Miller and Gray, however,
ruled that Board had made four

fice, according to his own state
ment, and therefore he should

A team of Tulane University
surgeons operated on Davis
Nov. 5.
They transplanted the chimp
kidney into his body in 39 min
utes. Davis entered the hospital
last January with a severe kid
ney ailment. It steadily wor
sened until he needed an arti
ficial kidney to live. Doctors
knew that Davis needed new(
kidneys to survive.
Unable to find a suitable hu
man donor, they decided on
the chimp. Davis agreed.
"The doctors told me I
couldn't live with what I've
got," he said later. "I have no
choice."
Tre animal kidneys were tied
Into Davis' system and began
functioning immediately. His
own kidneys, which doctors left
in his body, were nearly inoper
ative. Councilwoman

even when it comes to police

Wilt wanted the cars beige
because it would show the dirt
less than the current black and
white combination.
"Beige is a dirty color even
alter it's washed." retorted
Councilwoman Helen King.
"Green is one of our city's of
ficial colors. 1 believe we should
have green police cars."
By a unanimous vole the
council overrode Wilt and called
for bids on two green police
cars.

Law Means
New Labels
SALEM 1 UPI 1 - Bread in
Oregon will start the new year
with a new look on labels.
The balloon bread law passed
by the 1963 legislature goes into
effect Jan. I. It sets require
ments for labels on bread and
advertising.
Kenneth Carl of the Stale Ag
riculture Department said all
bakeries selling bread in Ore
gon are affected.
He said most of the bakeries
have submitted their new labels
for approval.
The law requires that the
label have the minimum net
weight and the weight size, such
as standard loaf, standard large
loaf, standard extra large loaf,
balloon, balloon loaf or balloon
bread.
The minimum size of letters
on the label also is set by tlie
law. All lettering, except the
word "Balloon," must be mini
mum of 3-16 of an inch if on
tlie sides or top of a loaf and
'.a of an inch if on the ends or
an attached tag.
Capital letters are required
or the words "Balloon." "Bal
loon Loaf" or "Balloon Bread,"
whichever is used on (lie bal
loon loaf. It must be in a con
spicuous place on the wrapper,
with minimum heights i inch
if on the top or side of the loaf
and U inch if on the ends of
the loaf.
The unwrapped balloon bread
loaves displayed for sale by re
tail bakeries must have a pla
card next to or with tlie loaves.
This placard must have bold
faced letters at least one inch
in height and be placed where it
is easily read by customers.
Advertising is also affected by
the new law. A newspaper or
radio advertisement of bread
that includes the price, must al
so i n c I u d e the weight of the
loaf.

SAIGON, South Viet Nam

his special Air Force KC135
four-engine jet airliner arrived

he had come here to discuss
problems and progress of U.S.

He arrived behind schedule

tween his plane and another at
Orly Airport in Paris.
Asked the reason for his two
day visit, his first since the
Nov. 1 coup d'etat that toppled
the regime of former President
Ngo Dinh Diem, ' McNamara
said: "Some of you will remem
ber that exactly two years ago
this week after a NATO meet
ing in Paris ... I flew lo Hon
olulu for the first in a series
of discussions of U.S. military
aid to Viet Nam. This is an
other of those meetings to dis
cuss progress of the program
and find out what problems are
involved and how to solve
them."
McNamara flew here with Ar
thur Sylvester, assistant secre
tary of defense for public af
fairs, and William Bundy, as
sistant secretary of defense for
international security affairs.
He was greeted at planeside
