AFLCIO Vote
Nay on Having
Teamsters Rejoin
NEW YORK m — The AFL
CIO Executive Council yesterday
voted 25 to 2 against permitting
the International Brotherhood of
Teamsters to rejoin the merged
labor movement as long at it has
its present leadership.
AFL-CIO President George
Meany said the position taken
by the Executive Council was hi
line with the organizational's
constitutional provisions against
memberships by groups under
corrupt domination.
“There is every indication that
the Teamseters Union is more
than ever now under the influ
ence of criminal and corrupt ele
ments,” said Meany.
James R. Hoffa heads the
Teamsters Union. He has been
the target of frequent attacks in
recent years, both from members
of Congress and others including
Kennedy Administration officials.
The Teamsters Union was
ousted from the AFL-CIO four
years ago.
Meany said nothing had hap
pened since then to indicate it
had been cleansed of corrupt in
fluences. Then he added his opin
ion that it was now more than
ever under influence of criminal
and corrupt elements.
Lana Turner Ordered
To Pay $20,000 to Son
Of Johnny Stompanato
LOS ANGELES MW — Actress
Lana Turner must pay $20,000 to
the 13-year-old son of Johnny
Stompanato, who was slain in her
house.
Superior Court approved the
settlement Monday. Stompanato
was stabbed to death in Miss Tur
ner’s Beverly Hills home April 4,
1958, by her daughter, Cheryl
Crane, now 17. A coroner’s jury
termed it justifiable homicide
after the girl said Stompanato
had threatened her mother.
Stompanato’s divorced wife,
Sara Stompanato of Hammond,
Ind., sought $750,000 from Miss
Turner and her former husband,
Stephen Crane. She claimed neg
ligence caused the death and de
prived Stompanato’s son, John HI,
of support.

Court Rules Communist
Party Must Now Register
WASHINGTON UV-Atty. Gen.
Robert F. Kennedy — citing Mon
day’s Supreme Court action —
says the Communist party must
now register as an arm of the
Soviet Union and must reveal its
members and finances. The party
said it would refuse.
Kennedy based his comment on
the court’s refusal to reconsider
its decision upholding provisions
of the 1950 Subversive Activities
Control Act.
The action, said Kennedy,
means that the Communist party,
USA, has exhausted its last legal
recourse after years of contest
ing the order of the Subversive
Activities Control Board requir
ing the party to register as a
Communist-action organization.”
Kennedy noted that the court
will formally issue its mandate in
a few days and that the board
order will become final 10 days
later.
Within 30 days then, said Ken
nedy, the Communist party must
register and file with the Justice
Department the names and ad
dresses of the party’s officers and
members during the past year. It
must also give an accounting of
its finances and a list of printing
presses owned or controlled by the
party or its members.
Football is a Rough
Sport In the Congo
LEOPOLDVILLE, The Congo
W — Minister of Youth and Sport,
Michel Mongali, rapped the Con
golese for taking their soccer too
seriously.
A man should play football to
rplax his mind and spirit—not to
win, he asserted.
“But here in Leopoldville it is
no secret that the sporting in
stinct is lacking among many
footballers and their supporters,”
declared the Minister in an of
ficial statement.
“Referees, linesmen and play
ers are frequently attacked and
some football fans even go so
far as to burn cars, stone houses
and threaten people with death.
“I must draw attention to the
anti-social and unsporting char
acter of this behavior.”
The result of this sort of con
duct last weekend was four
broken feet, four broken legs and
numerous dislocations, reported
the Minister.
“From now on,” urged Mongali,
“let us strive to be more sport
ingly correct.”

Soviet Scientist
Defected Because
He Lacked Freedom
AMSTERDAM, The Nether
lands Uf) — A Soviet chemist,
whose defection to the West
brought on an airport brawl be
tween the Soviet Ambassador and
Dutch police, said Tuesday he had
been engaged in research on how
to overcome the effects of nuclear
fallout on human beings.
Police quoted him as saying he
defected because he lacked free
dom to carry on this research.
The defection of Alexei Golub,
35, resulted in a clash Monday
when Soviet Ambassador Pono
marenko and his aides went to
the airport to put the scientist’s
wife on a Moscow-bound plane.
She finally decided to leave her
husband, perhaps forever, and
went on back to Moscow.
They had come here as tourists.
Golub, a doctor in biochemistry,
was quoted by police as saying
he was seekiiig asylum because he
lacked professional freedom.
He said he was engaged in im
portant research on “how to re
move strontium out of the human
body without affecting the vital
element, calcium,” but his su
periors made him give up the re
search for other work.
Strontium is one of the ele
ments from nuclear fallout. It
concentrates in the marrow of
bones and is the chief worry of
scientists concerned with the ef
fects of nuclear explosions in the
atmosphere on the health of hu
man beings.

world’s largest French-speaking
city, but can you name the sec

Canada.

I-—H.I.F. Reports—
The Foundation, reviewing o-—---1_
published and unpublished data
of the National Office of Vital
Statistics, points out that the
annual U. S. death rate in 1900
was 17.2 per 1,000 persons. (See
chart.) The 1960 rate, as esti
mated by the Foundation re
search staff, was only 9.4 per
1,000 — a reduction of about 45
per cent.
Moreover, when the actual
mortality rates are adjusted to
a standard population (to elimi
nate the effect of changes in age
composition over the years), the
estimated 1960 death rate is only
7.7 per 1,000 — less than one
half the comparable 1900 rate.
One of the main reasons for
the decline in mortality has
been the fact that the major
communicable diseases—leading
causes of death in 1900 — have
been largely brought under con
trol. As George Bugbee, Foun
dation President, points out:
“Children do not die in epi
demics as they once did. The
benefits have been almost as
great to persons in the child
bearing and chief work years.
These are precious attainments,
leading to more stable family
life and a more active work
force.”
