GOP Tabs Morton, Approves Chicago WASHINGTON (UPI)—The Republican National Committee today elected Sen. Thruston B. Morton of Kentucky as its chairman and voted to hold the 1960 GOP convention in Chicago the week of July 25. Morton, President Eisenhower's nominee to succeed retiring Chairman Meade Alcorn, was elected without contest. His formal selection came after the committee adopted a recommendation by its site committee to hold next year's party convention in the huge Livestock Amphitheater in the windy city. Ray C. Bliss of Ohio, who headed a 10-man committee which flew to Augusta, Ga., Friday to confer with the President, nominated Morton for the committee chairmanship. Bliss reported that Eisenhower "indicated that he would be highly pleased" if Morton were elected. The President, he said, also felt Morton would do "an excellent job." No Objections Morton's nomination was seconded by a number of national committee members. When Alcorn then asked if there were any further nominations, no voice was raised and Morton was elected by voice vote. The site committee voted unanimously to recommend Chicago from among six cities competing for the convention. The other cities were Philadelphia, Miami Beach, New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

When Alcorn then asked if there were any further nominations, no voice was raised and Morton was elected by voice vote. The site committee voted unanimously to recommend Chicago from among six cities competing for the convention. The other cities were Philadelphia, Miami Beach, New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Ray C. Bliss of Ohio, vice chairman of the site committee, told newsmen that one factor in the selection of Chicago was that it was a "neutral area" in that no candidate from that region was expected to seek the presidential nomination. He said there were only three neutral cities —Chicago, Philadelphia and Miami Beach. The Chicago bid provided $400,000 in cash, plus extras including rent free use of the International Livestock Amphitheater at the Chicago Stock Yards. The GOP also will receive profits from the convention programs which have exceeded $100,000 at the last two GOP conventions. Sen. Barry Goldwater (R-Ariz.) proposed meanwhile that the new chairman be invited to attend cabinet meetings and authorized to employ a full-time assistant to direct the GOP organization.

Felony Drunk Driving Count Faces SA Man GARDEN GROVE — A Santa Ana man faces charges of felony drunk driving following a plea on wages. PITTSBURGH (UPI)—The steel industry called on the United Steelworkers Union Friday to hold the line on wages, but the union rejected the proposal as a publicity stunt. A committee representing 12 major steel firms asked USW President David J. McDonald to accept a one-year wage freeze. McDonald said the management move was an attempt to avoid negotiations scheduled to begin May 18 in New York. Union officials backed McDonald, but there were some rank-and-file objections. The industry proposed extending major provisions of the current three-year contract, which expires June 30, for one year. Say Consumers Worried The industry committee said in a letter the nation's economy is on a moderate upswing, but that the process was being "artificially accelerated" but consumers worried about a strike. An immediate settlement of the steel issues would enable customers to buy normally and avoid "the artificial bulge of synthetic demand and subsequent ... decline and dislocation." The note added: "In order to combat inflation, to preserve for the steelworkers the purchasing power of their present high wages and benefits, to enable steel companies to compete more effectively with foreign steel...we hope you will see the benefits inherent in our proposal and accept it promptly." Some Disagree The union boss accused the industry of employing "this strategy because before the month is out, it will be embarrassed by record riches which it can neither explain nor conceal. "It proves again this industry is cold-bloodedly planning a strike..." he said. Some workers contacted by the United Press International indicated disagreement with the head of the 1,250,000-member union. "We keep wages and prices as they are," said Jack Stevenson, a Pittsburgh steel worker. "We definitely don't want a strike." "We're doing all right the way we are," said Henry Klelarwski, a worker at Jones & Laughlin's Pittsburgh plant. William Hoffman, a J&L rigger, said "he (McDonald) should let the working man take a vote on the industry proposal. What we go in for is pensions and insurance—a paid up policy."

Ed. and G. Brown was told today that the mafia has not gained a hold in California, despite widely publicized assertions" to contrary. Alvin H. Goldstein Jr., former assistant district attorney in New York City, reported to Brown on study of activities of organized crime and labor racketeering in the state. He drew two major conclusions: - The evidence does not support widely publicized assertions that a secret society known as the mafia is active in the state of California." U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Storis picked up the Russian and transferred him to emergency plane which flew him to Anchorage. The sailor is still on the critical list. (UPI Telephoto from U.S. Air Force) Racketeers have not acquired positions of leadership in the California labor movement and activity of persons with serious criminal records is not a significant factor in the present conduct of labor-management relations in this state." Brown ordered the study while still attorney general. He imported Goldstein, who had prosecuted labor racketeers in New York. On the mafia, Goldstein said the significance of the crime syndicate on the American scene had never been clearly defined and "its existence of mafia and use the word as a sword to excite public opinion in the hope they may obtain increased funds and official sanction for extreme methods of investigation and arrest." Goldstein recommended that local law enforcement officers try to "forget the intriguing concept of an international conspiracy and concentrate on organized crime within their own jurisdiction." He reported significant evidence of organized crime in narcotics and bookmaking in the state. He gave San Francisco a clean bill of health but said bookmaking appeared to be increasing in Southern California. He recommended establishment within the State Department of Justice of a special rackets squad. On labor racketeering, Goldstein said he found cases which included evidence of labor racketeers but concluded that there appeared to be only a "few sour apples in a relatively wholesome bar." But he warned that since legislators controlled the purse stole they could also wield damage control over school curricula. A special sub-committee has been set up in Colorado to suggest the extent that the legislature should go in its inquiry into content of college curricula. Japanese Student Attacks Prince BY RONALD P.

The official Soviet news agency Tass said scientists at the Moscow Experimental Laboratory had grafted a puppy's head onto the neck of a full-grown German shepherd named "Pirat." The experiment apparently was intended to test the possibility of eventually replacing portions of the human body amputated because of injury or disease. Tass said th dog was "feeling well and full of life" and quoted Soviet physiologist Vladimir Demikhov, director of the laboratory, as saying the experiment was the "most successful one" in Russia. He said that in previous experiments the dogs survived only five or six days. Demikhov said Pirat "goes out and eats with relish. The second head reacts vividly to everything around it." He said the two heads fall asleep and wake independently. He said the puppy's head "does not need a separate feeding since Pirat's stomach serves Pirat and the puppy's head, but the puppy's head does lap water and retains the ability to move, which shows its nerves are intact and that the brain is functioning normally." Demikhov said that in the operation major blood vessels in Pirat were exposed and joined with those of the puppy.
