NEW YORK. July j:.. 'nr
I'ndi rworld big shots Fnink C< s-

son were indicted by a federal
grand jury today for contempt of
the l'nited States senate.
A warrant for Costello'n arrest
was issind immediately by Fed-
eral Judge John F. X. Mc< ohey.
Ad«nis and Eriekson are botji s -r-
ving prison sentences, in N«-w Jer-
sey and New York City respectiv-
ely, for gambling.
Costello's attorney. (tet 1 rge Wolf,
said he would nurrender his client
t« the I". S. attorney "in an hour
or two."
The indictments grew out of ap-
pearances by the three men before
the Senate Crime Investigating
committee here last March.
Cnntello was charged with con-
tempt in a nine-count indictment
which would subject him, if con-
victed on all counts, to a nine-
year prtaou sentence and a $!>,-
<hmi fine.
The suave, middle-ag. d Cnntello.
accused by the Kefauver commit-
tee of heading with Adonis the
rackets underworld of the entire
East Coast, was cited for his re-
fusal to testify on two days he-cau-
se- of alleged illness and his refus-
al specifically to tell the commit-
tee his net worth.
WASHINGTON, July i f
\ Senate House conference com
mittee agreed today to write a
form of slaughtering permits into
the new controls legislation in
hope- of preventing a black market
in meat.
The committee made the linen
pected move at its first meeting
on the legislation. Both the- Sen
ate and the House had rejected
the slaughter quotas now t -ing
used by stabilization authorities.
Normally a conference commit-
tee is confined to the material in
separate verion* of House and Se-
nate bills when it's attempts to
reach a compromise for final en-
actment.
However, Se-n. Burnet it. May-
hank, D., S. ('.. said the- conferees
approv.d the modified slaughter
ing quotas unanimously and be-
thinks the provision can properly
he drafted into the final b,II.
Price Stabilizer Michael V. |)i
Salle- had warned that without
slaughtering quotas, the whole
control program on meat prices
would be- threatened.
Mavbank said that the new pro
vision will he drawn to permit re-
gular processors of meat to slau
ghter inn peicent of the supply of
animals being ship|H-d to the
stockyards. The- Office of Price
Stabilization now basis its quotas
011 anticipated marketings each
months and limits each slaughter-
er to a percentage of the- live
weight he killed in the same mon-
th 1.1st year.
'l'he- n|. 1 of tin- new plan is that
although a slaughterer can kill all
tin animals he- can get, he must
have1 a quota-ill effect, a permit
to do busirie :s legitimately. Now
fly-by-night operators won't be
able- t.i get such a permit.
Mavbank said the committee a-
gree«i em the change set that
"then- will be no black market."
The committee's action reprc-
st nt.-d soon ga'n for the adminis-
tiation. It presumably would give
l>iSalle power to crack down on il-
legil slaughter houses and iilack
