Final Swing
Puts Pressure
On Politicoes
Laborite Asks
Bean Quit Race
-By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The calendar put pressure on
Texas’ political hopefuls today as
they began their final campaign
swings five days before Satur-
day’s Republican and Democratic
primaries.
flH A major development was a re-
quest by Hank Brown, president
of the AFL-CIO, that El Paso
Dist. Judge Woodrow W. Bean
withdraw from the congressman-
at-large race.
Bean earlier agreed with Inter-
nal Revenue officers that he has
not filed an income tax return
in 10 years, saying he opposes the
income tax and has invited the
government to take action.
The AFL-CIO’s political arm,
COPE, had endorsed Bean for
the congressman-at-large post.
Brown, in asking Bean to with-
draw, said this “We believe that
every American is innocent of
any charge levelled against him
—until he has been judged by
due process of law. We do not ex-
cept Judge Woodrow Bean from
this belief. But in the current sit-
uation—with the larger and far
more important interests of the
people of Texas at stake—we be-
lieve that Judge Bean should
withdraw.”
Phil Willis, one of Bean’s op-
ponents in the Democratic pri-
mary, also urged Bean to with-
draw and apologize to the party.
Many candidates took a breath-
er Sunday preparing for the final
drive.

No one was injured in any of
the accidents.
The most serious occurred at

President's Ailing Dad
Undergoes Therapy
NEW YORK ® — Joseph P.
Kennedy, the President’s ailing
father, is underging treatment at
the New York University Insti-
tute of Physical Medicine and Re-
habilitation.
Kennedy, 73, suffered a stroke
in Florida last December and has
in the West
from 3.5 miles south of Taylor been convalescing

Teacher Placement
Plan Offered by TEC
Stanfield Svadlenak, manager of
the Texas Employment Commis-
sion office, said today that the
commission now has a new state-
wide placement program for
teachers.
“Beginning this spring,” Svadle-
nak said, “the TEC state office
in Austin will serve as a clearing
house for both teachers’ applica-
tions and request for teachers
from school administrators.”
He explained that this gives
school administrators a statewide
selection of teachers and at the
same time it provides teachers
with a wider range of teaching
opportunities.
“This service to the teaching
profession is the first of this
type ever to be offered by the
Commission,” Svadlenak said.
“Our office now has resume forms
for teachers who wish to file an
application for -a new position
next fall. The form provides for a
complete history of the teacher’s
educational and professinal back-
ground. School administrators can
file their vacancies with our of-
fice. These requests, like the
teachers’ resumes, will be sent
directly to the state office. There,
placement field will match teach-
er resumes with the requirements
of existing vacancies as they are
sent in by school officials.
Teacher resume • forms can also
be obtained by writing to the
Texas Employment Commission,
Teacher Placement Service, TEC
Building, Austin 1, Texas.”
Svadlenak said that TEC’s cen-
tralized teacher placement ser-
vice will provide each teacher
with a selection of positions which
reflect his qualifications. Teach-
er resumes will be reproduced
and sent to those administrators
whose vacancies they are quali-
fied to fill. In this way the ad-
ministrator will have a large se-
lection of qualified candidates for
teaching positions.
“The immediate effect of this
new program.” Svadlenak said,
“is to enable TEC to assist teach-
ers in locating positions which
they are most qualified to fill.”
The teacher placement service
will operate without cost to the
school system and to the teacher.
Until ■ now, . no complete state-
wide placement service was avail-
able both to teachers seeking
employment and to school offi
TEC’s spcialists in the teacher cials seeking teachers.
WASHINGTON <® — The House
knuckles down to work today aft-
er a 10-day Easter vacation,
while the Senate plods along with
its debate over a bill to prevent
racial discrimination in voter lit-
eracy tests.
No major bills were ticketed for
immediate consideration in the
House, hut before the end of the
week leaders hope tc bring up a
bill urged by President Kennedy
to set up a private corporation to
own and operate a communica-
tions satellite system.
Before the week ends Senate
leaders reportedly plan to initiate
a move to clamp a time limit on
the debate that began last Wed-
nesday on the voter literacy bill-
—the administration’s principal
civil rights measure.
The bill, strongly opposed by its
Southern foes, would exempt any-
one with a 6th-grade education
from having to take a state lit-
eracy, test to qualify as a voter
in presidential and congressional
elections.
The first step in involking the
Senate’s anti - filibuster rule is
filing of a cloture—or debate lim-
itation-petition signed by 16 sen-
ators.
Once such a petition is filed, it
automatically is put to a vote one
hour after the Senate meets on
the second day thereafter. Its
adoption requires a two-thirds
majority of senators voting.
A two-thirds majority never has
been obtained for breaking a fili-
buster against a civil rights bill,
but' party leaders say they may
have a better chance this time
since the 1960 Democratic and Re-
publican platforms called for a
literacy test measure.
Democratic Leader Mike Mans-
field of Montana has said that if
the move fails by a substantial
margin, the bill will be laid
aside. If the vote is close, he said,
a second attempt will be made
after more debate.
With the rules barring commit-
tee hearings while the Senate is
in session, without unanimous con-
sent, some committees have can-
celed their meetings for the dura-
tion of the battle.
The Senate Fotregn Relations
Committee called a meeting to-
day, however, to start work on
the administration’s $4.9 - billion
foreign aid authorization bill.
This is one of many major piec-
es of legislation urged by Kenne-
dy that remained to be acted on
as Congress reached the half-way
point in its planned eight-months
session.
Only five of Kennedy’s 35
major recommendations Have
cleared Congress so far, but some
others have passed one chamber
or the other and a quickening
pace is anticipated in the months
ahead.
Although the Senate is pretty

In Air Crash
NORMAN, Okia. (ffl —A high-
pitched twitter, comparable to
the sound of crickets in late sum
mer, may have caused the 1960
crash of an airliner in Boston.
The Federal Aviation Agency’s
Civil Aeromedical Research Insti-
tute here has reached the con-
clusion after a two-year study of
the apparent affinity between
starlings and Lockheed Electra
aircraft.
The crash Oct. 4, 1960 killed 62
persons. Starlings—small birds
that fly in flocks and feast on
crickets — were found in the
Electra’s turbo-prop engines.
It wasn’t the first -time Electras
had been bothered by starlings,
the institute said. Several times
before the Boston crash, Electras
were forced to abort flights be-
cause of ingestion of the birds.
After the Boston crash institute
researchers began to think there
was something in the aircraft en-
gines attracting the starlings,
said Dr. Stanley Mohler, director,

El Paso Gas
Decision
Set Aside
Anti-Trust
Law involved
.WASHINGTON (ff) — The Su-
preme Court set aside today Fed-
eral Power Commission authori-
zation for El Paso Natural Gas
Co. to acquire and operate prop-
erties of Pacific Northwest Pipe-
line Corp.
Justice Douglas said in the
court’s majority opinion that the
commission should have withheld
action until a decision was
reached in a suit filed in federal
court in Salt Lake City that at-
tached the merger as a violation
of antitrust law.
“The orderly procedure,” Doug-
las said, “is for the commission
to await decision in the antitrust
.suit before taking action.” •
Justice Harlan wrote a dissent-
ing opinion in which Justice Stew-
art joined. Justices Frankfurter
and White took no part. The
court’s vote was 5-2.
California protested the merger
in appealing to the Supreme
Court, describing it as an attempt
by one pipeline corporation to
gain dominant control of the Cali-
fornia market area and of rich
gas fields by acquiring control
of another such firm.
Douglas emphasized that the
court was not deciding whether
there were any violations of the
antitrust laws involved in the
merger.
There are practical reasons,
Douglas said, why the commis-
sion should have withheld action
until the courts decided the anti-
trust law complaint.
Harlan’s dissenting opinion said
the court was announcing “a new
and surprising antitrust procedur-
al rule.”

Nobel Prize Winners

WASHINGTON ® — President
Kennedy toasted his 173 dinner
guests—Nobel Prize winners and
men and women of fetters — as
the most extraordinary collection
of talent ever gathered at the
White House.
He called them all together Sun-
day night — a potpourri of the
famed—to honor the Nobel Prize
winners of the Western Hemi-
sphere.
The 49 Nobel winners on hand
for the biggest dinner held at the
White House in modern times
greeted each other with delight.
They said no one before had ever
thought to bring so many of them
together at once.

Harlan said the decision “does
not turn on any facts or circum-
stances which may .be said to be
peculiar to this particular case.”
He added:
“It is not limited to Federal
Power Commission proceedings,
without adverting to any legal
principle or statute to support
its decision, the courts appears
to lay down a pervasive rule,
born soly of its own abstract
notions of what ‘orderly proce-

200 Scofchlited
Optimists Award Bikes
At Safety Check Up
Nearly 200 youngsters got their
bikes scotchlited and safety
checked Saturday, thanks to the
Taylor Optimist Club.
“We were well pleased with
the turnout,” said Leon Konarek,
president of the organization.
Konarek said that Basilia 01-
giun, 16-year-old girl who lives
at 607 Rio Grande, a Junior High
School student, won the girl’s
bicycle.
Taking home the boy’s bike
was 9-year-old Joe ■ Castro, 1617
West Third Street, a student at
West End School.
A dozen optimists and three
highway patrolmen spent nearly
three hours applying scotchlite
reflecting tape to fenders of the
bikes and giving the vehicles
thorough -check.
Konarek said the Optimists
would make the rounds at all the
schools to apply tape to bikes
that were not brought to the in-
spection area Saturday.
“The inspection went pretty
good,” Konarek said. “About 90
per cent of the bikes were in
good shape, but we found some
that were in pretty bad shape.
Most of the trouble seemed, to be
with loose fenders and wheels and
lack of reflectors and warning de-
vices.”
He said the inspectors urged
youngsters to take their inspec-
tion forms home, go over them

mained aboard the stricken ves-
sel. The Greek ship, although
heavily damaged, continued und-
er her own power to Philadelphia.
Heavy fog shrouded the bay
when the ships collided about
6:20 a.m. Sunday. Water poured
through the gash in the Taranto!’s
side and she wallowed stem
down. A tug and a Navy salvage
vessel put lines aboard and were
towing her toward a shipyard
when she scraped aground.
The Coast Guard said the Tar
antel’s agents have decided to
leave the vessel where she is un-
til an underwater survey deter-
mines whether temporary patches
should be made before she is
towed into a shipyard for repair.
Pumps and men from the Navy
salvage ships Recovery and Sha-
kori battled to keep her from set-
tling deeper 'but were not able
to lighten her draft.
A third Navy salvage ship was
enroute to the scene about four
miles northeast of Cape Henry
near the mouth of the Chesapeake
Bay.
Passengers on the Tarantel who
died in the collision were Richard
Berry, about 40, of Westfield,
N.J., and Mrs. Augusta Fabriani,
about 55 of Montreal wife of an
Italian foreign service officer.
Three persons on the Tarantel

antel as she headed into the bay

petition so the government will
not need to intervene in the
price-setting process.
The President delivered to the
chamber’s 50th annual meeting
a sober appeal for cooperation
among business, labor and gov-
ernment. He said this would keep
the economy table, protect the
dollar, and expand foreign com-
merce.
“These areas where conflict
exists between private interests
and government intrest must be
met by all of us who care for
our country,” Kennedy said.
In his first speech to any busi-
ness organization since he forced
the steel industry to withdraw its
April price increase — a move
widely criticized in industry —
Kennedy assured the 4,000 busi-
nessman - delegates and their
guests: “We do not seek to set
prices.”
Instead, he said, the govern-
ment is trying to develop a cli-
mate in which there is coopera-
tion of the several segments of
the economy, and in which the
free forces of competition will
serve to prevent inflation from
damaging the dollar and inflat-
ing prices to consumers.
The President said there never
again need be such events as his
recent crackdown on the steel in-
dustry’s attempted price increase
—providing all forces join in
achieving non-inflationary profits
and wage increases within bounds
of productivity increases.
Kennedy, assuring the -business
leaders there can be no prosperity
without profits, received heavy
applause at the end of his 20
minute address.
But he was not interrupted by
applause as was the retiring
Chamber President Richard1 Wag-
ner who followed the chief execu-
tive with a talk defending the
steel price increase the President
crushed 2% weeks ago.

NEW YORK ffl) — Soviet cos-
monaut Gherman Titov has dis-
covered that going around the
globe 17 times is a snap com
pared to orbiting nighttime Man-
hattan.
The Soviet spaceman and his
pretty brunette wife, Tamara, 24,
wasted little time Sunday night
in hitting the tourist trail.
At 6:30 p.m. they were walk-
ing down the ramp from a, Soviet
turboprop airliner ait Idlewild
Airport. At 7:30 p.m. they were
arriving at the Soviet United Na-
tions mission, headquarters on
Park Avenue.
They took only an hour and a
half to freshen up before they
were off again. The plan, ap-
parently, was a quick and quiet
tour of some of -the sights of the
brightly lit city.
Thanks to midtown traffic, the
tour wasn’t as quick as intended.
Thanks to the curiosity of the
average New Yorker it wasn’t
so quiet either.
Before the tour started, Titov
said he was anxious to meet
American astronaut John H-
Glenn Jr. “We will have quite
a lot to talk about,” Titov added
through an interpreter. Titov is
to attend the international space
conference in Washington, D. C.,
later this week.
Cleveland industrialist Cyrus
Easton and his wife, who have
visited Premier Khrushchev in the
Soviet Union were among 300 per-
sons who greeted Titov and his
wife at Idlewild.
During Titov’s tour of Manhat-
tan he kept smiling, and respond-
ing v/ith friendly gestures to the
attention that appeared to take
him by surprise.
At the skating rink in Rocke-
feller Plaza Titov pinned small
medals on two young girls and a
small boy in a sailor suit and Re-
plied in Russian when the child-
said ‘thank you.” The
medals read “Vostok II” — the
name of the spaceship that took
him around the earth 17 times.
At Times Square, plainclothes
police had to clear a crowded
sidewalk so Tito-v and his- party
could get out of their limousines
for a stroll. As the strollers
moved up the east side of the
square the crowd around Titov
grew until it stopped traffic brief-
ly and hid the cosmonaut entire-
ly-
“He’s a little fellow!” was the
surprised comment of one after
another in the crowd.
The motorcade swept around to
Eighth Avenue as fast as traffic
would allow, and the Titovs
dashed into a small theater whose
marquee advertised “first films
of Titov’s flight.” -
Titov apparently had seen the
