OTTAWA, Ont., iff)—The Cana

plans to claim the Gulf of St.
Lawrence and some similar areas
as Canadian waters.

! FBI Finds Body
Of Hoodlum Who
Blinded Riesel
NEW YORK, OP—The FBI said
today a hoodlum found shot to
death here last month threw the
acid which blinded labor colum
nist Victor Riesel.
They announced, too, the arrest
of two men, alleged to have acted
in concert with the dead man.
The two were charged with con
spiracy to obstruct justice.
The FBI identified the acid
thrower as Abraham Telvi, 22, of
Brooklyn, who had a police rec
ord dating back to 1949. His body
was found on a lower East Side
street July 28.
At first it was believed that he
might have" been a hit-run fatal
ity. When a bullet wound in the
back of his head was found, po
lice theorized he had been a
“jfcle” victim.
The two men whom the FBI
called co-conspirators were iden
tified as Joseph Peter Carlino, 43,
and Gondolfo Miranti, 37, both
taken into custody in Manhat
tan’s lower East Side tenement
area. Both are ex-convicts.
The acid throwing occurred
just off Broadway early in the
morning of April 5 soon after
Riesel, hard hitting writer against
labor racketeers, had made a
broadcast critical of Local 138
Operating Engineers.
The' FBI did not say how they
established that Telvi was the
actual acid thrower.
Western Big Three
Propose Suez be Governed
By International Board
LONDON, Ufi—The Western Big
Three proposed Thursday that
the operation of the Suez Canal
be made the responsibility of an
international board, including
Egypt, linked to the United Na
tions.
U.S. Secretary of State Dulles,
on behalf of the United States,
France and Britain, presented a
four-point plan for solving the
international crisis blown up by
Egyptian President Nasser’s na-:
tionalization of the vital water
way.
Dulles told the 22-nation Suez
conference the board proposed
by the West would be established
by treaty and would provide for
operation of the canal in accord
ance with the 1888 Constantin
ople convention.
The plan would insure the
board could not be dominated by
any single power or group of
powers and would open the canal
to all powers.
