Kennedy Attacks Teamsters, Hoffa LOS ANGELES (UPI) — Sen. John F. Kennedy (D-Mass.) attacked the teamsters' union and its president, James Hoffa, Friday night and said he believes the nation could "eliminate the evil practices by which he (Hoffa) and his associates rose to power." In a speech before the Greater Los Angeles Press Club, the youthful presidential hopeful said the Kennedy-Ervin Labor Bill would not in itself eliminate Hoffa. "He is entitled to the same rights as every other citizen, including the Fifth Amendment," Kennedy said. "But we can eliminate the evil practices by which he and other associates rose to power—their conflict of interest transactions, their destruction of union books—their use of union funds to build personal financial empires, their shakedowns." The New England senator told the 500 newsmen, civic and labor officials and California Democratic Party leaders that he did not think the people would tolerate a veto of the Kennedy-Ervin bill. He said the people "are fed up with the abuses and malpractices revealed by the McClellan Committee." "They want a strong, effective, but fair reform bill," he said. "I am convinced that they do not want an anti-labor bill—they want an anti-racketeering bill. And they want one now." Kennedy openly courted the favor of California political leaders although he declared it was much too early for anyone to announce himself as a 1960 presidential candidate. In a question and answer session SHOWERS REPORTED NEAR MOUNTAINS United Press International Variable cloudiness brought scattered showers near Southern California mountain areas today. There were gusty winds, strong at times in the mountains and blowing dust in some desert regions. Small craft warnings were displayed north of Malibu. Temperatures remained generally unchanged a ltough there was some cooling in desert areas. No rain was predicted for the coastal areas today or Sunday. Jail Sentences Face Panama Invasion Forces Jail Sentences Face Panama Invasion Forces PANAMA CITY (UPI)— Brief jail sentences appeared in store today for the 85 men and the sloeeyed girl who sailed here from Cuba to invade Panama and then surrendered meekly when they found Fidel Castro disapproved of their actions. The invaders gave up to Panamanian authorities at the coastal village of Nombre de Dios in a ceremony filled more with joy than sorrow. They sailed then for a Panama City jail and the threat of invasion appeared over. Reports that additional invaders were on the way from Cuba persisted, but it appeared unlikely that they would attempt to land while the coast is being patrolled by U.S. warships and planes acting for the Organization of American States. Plans for the future of the invaders who surrendered Friday have not been announced. The Panamanian Government probably will bring them to trial, but it appeared unlikely that they would be severely punished. Two landing barges took the invaders out of the "beachhead" village of Nombre Dios Friday in an atmosphere that resembled a county fair more than it did a military surrender. Practically all of the village's 700 regular residents turned out to see the invaders off, braving intermittent showers to keep track of developments. The village's teen-age girls turned out in their brightest Sunday dresses, while their brothers proudly displayed the scraggly pacthes of down they had cultivated on their chins in an effort to match the beards of the invaders. Several girls followed the prisoners right down to the beach and stood there waving while the barges pulled away. “This is the biggest day Nombre de Dios ever had,” one girl said wistfully. “We have no road here, no pier, nothing. Nobody ever comes, and now they've gone..." “Of course I liked them.” "They want a strong, effective, but fair reform bill," he said. "I am convinced that they do not want an anti-labor bill—they want an anti-racketeering bill. And they want one now." Kennedy openly courted the favor of California political leaders although he declared it was much too early for anyone to announce himself as a 1960 presidential candidate. In a question and answer session following his speech, the senator said he thought New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller would make a formidable Republican candidate and hinted he would be a stronger one than Vice President Richard M. Nixon, although he said polls showed Nixon now in front. Ex-Garden Grove Man Sentenced For Non-Support SANTA ANA (OCNS) — Ralph Moran, 32, Los Angeles, was sentenced to 11 months in county jail here Friday afternoon, despite his offer to pay back part of the $20,000 which his family has received in Orange County welfare benefits. Municipal Court Judge David French placed Moran on three years probation on the non-support charge to which Moran had entered a guilty plea. The district attorney described Moran's evasion of his family responsibilities as "one of the more aggravated and flagrant disregards of the law in recent years." Moran was accused of leaving his wife and three children at Garden Grove nine years ago, and moving to Los Angeles where he obtained employment. Although he admitted earning more than $100 a week for the last three years, his probation report indicated that he had not contributed any money to his wife or children. In urging a jail sentence, the district attorney told the court that the defendant "needed a year in jail to think over what the law means." Moran's attorney argued that it would be better for his client to pay back part of the $20,000, and to begin supporting his family. Judge French stated that he was inclined to agree, if it were not that Moran had evaded arrest for revealed by the McClellan Committee." "After the foreign minister meeting I look forward to a meeting of the heads of government concerned at a summit conference." Macmillan said. "The form which the summer conference takes must, of course depend on the result of theeign ministers' meeting this month. But I am hopeful that aficient progress will be made make a summit conference frerul." Western diplomats in Paris privately they expected enough concessions from Russia at the foreign ministers conference to force the Allies to attend a summit conference. Several girls followed the prisoners right down to the beach and stood there waving while the barges pulled away. "This is the biggest day Nombre de Dios ever had," one girl said wistfully. "We have no road here, no pier, nothing. Nobody ever comes, and now they've gone..." "Of course I liked them." Weather Mostly sunny but occasional cloudiness through Sunday. Windy at times today with high near 70, low tonight 50. High Sunday 75.

George D. Alken (R-Vt.) predicted today President Eisenhower would pick a "pretty good career diplomat" as ambassador to Brazil to run the Senate gauntlet behind Clare Boothe Luce. The Senate Foreign Relations committeeman said in an interview the dispute which ended in Mrs. Luce resigning after winning Senate confirmation will "tighten up" Senate consideration of future appointees. Like other senators, Alken doubted that any Senate move would be made to try to censure Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) for the way in which he challenged the Luce nomination. Sen. Homer E. Capehart (R-Ind.) said the Senate should "censure or condemn" Morse because he called Mrs. Luce's physician to ask whether she had received psychiatric treatment. Mrs. Luce resigned with regret Friday, advising the President she felt it was "no longer possible" to accomplish the mission in Brazil because of the "ugly charges" raised by Morse. She said she expected Morse to continue "harassment" as chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Latin-America if she went to Brazil. Few ambassadors have resigned after their confirmation and before starting service abroad. But there have been a number where she met with newsmen following her with the President.

McCormick-Rockhampton said today vivialist methods of Billy Graha are in some ways "objective dishonest, distressing and ding."

(UPI)—The man of the school's lone Negro prom at Charlotte High School has led to its re-ment officials announced Fri-ter two weeks of confer- between leaders of both that the dance would be re-ment. Gustavus Roberts, 17, a Negro, told school authorities two weeks ago that he planned to take a Negro date to the dance. It would have marked the first integrated public school dance in North Carolina. "Because of the situation," said Principal Ed Sanders, "in connection with our limited desegregation, social problems have been created." Sanders, Assistant Principal John Smith and their wives said they were issuing private invitations to students to attend a dance at the Park Center here. Roberts was not invited. The youth's mother, Mrs. Edward Roberts, wrote Police Chief E. C. Selvey two weeks ago that "Gustavus and his date have been invited to the junior-senior prom" but that "Gustavus was informed that students invited from other schools may start a disturbance if he attends." She asked Selvey to "give Gustavus the proper protection needed if such events should arise. I would like to see things continue as they have been..." she said. Mrs. Luca resigned with regret Friday, advising the President she felt it was "no longer possible" to accomplish the mission in Brazil because of the "ugly charges" raised by Morse. She said she expected Morse to continue "harassment" as chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Latin-America if she went to Brazil. Few ambassadors have resigned after their confirmation and before starting service abroad. But there have been a number of hot nomination battles in recent years, and several diplomatic appointments have been withdrawn in the face of rejection or an embarrassing floor debate. Most of them demonstrated the power of a single senator to block a nominee. Orange Nurse Booked On Narcotics Charge SANTA ANA (OCNS) — A nurse was booked Friday at County Jail on suspicion of possession of narcotics, and then transferred to the County Hospital where she was admitted as a patient. The woman is Helen Rosemary Haughey, 38, 12881 Esplanade St., Orange. Narcotic investigators of the sheriff's department who made the arrest were not on duty this morning, and no one else at the sheriff's department had any knowledge of the case. Hospital authorities were reluctant to discuss the situation, but admitted that the nurse had at one time been on the staff of the County Hospital. It was stressed that Miss Haughey's employment there had not "been recent." The superintendent of nursing at the county hospital declined to state the reason that Miss Haughey was being treated at the hospital. The bishop, writing in the cial magazine of his diocese, critically challenged the G method of counting "conver- He cited an instance where priest from the Rockhampton cee was present at a G meeting.

Jail In Santa Ana Bulletin Anaheim Daily-Herald May 2, 1959 Phone PR 4-7870 TEN CENTS ROCKS SHIP Red Tape Delays Rescue Operation WEST VANCOUVER, B.C. (UPI)—A Norwegian sea captain today blasted Vancouver authorities for letting red tape snarl rescue operations when his ship was swept by an explosion and fire within sight of land. But Capt. William Alcher, 52, showered praise and gratitude on Canadian and U.S. Navy volunteers and local fishermen whose quick action may have saved his 5,300-ton freighter Ferngulf from sinking near here Friday night. WEST VANCOUVER, B.C. (UPI)—A Norwegian sea captain today blasted Vancouver authorities for letting red tape snarl rescue operations when his ship was swept by an explosion and fire within sight of land. But Capt. William Alcher, 52, showered praise and gratitude on Canadian and U.S. Navy volunteers and local fishermen whose quick action may have saved his 5,300-ton freighter Ferngulf from sinking near here Friday night. Five crewmen were injured, two critically, when the lumber-laden Ferngulf drifted near the mouth of Burrard Inlet off West Vancouver, 700 tons of fuel oil ablaze in its main tanks. S.O.S. Unanswered "I sent an S.O.S. for a fireboat and doctors as soon as the explosion occurred," Alcher told a reporter. "We were told by the City of Vancouver that we were outside their limits." He said that more than an hour later he received a message that a fireboat and doctor were coming. "We saw no fireboat, but a Royal Canadian Air Force helicopter came and circled," he said. "It did not land. We had no doctor on board, so for an hour the men had no treatment except from me. I kept shoving insignia into them." The Ferngulf burned for nearly four hours before the fire was brought under control mainly by volunteers from the Canadian destroyer escorts Saguenay and Assiniboine and the U.S. Submarine Capitane. Capt. Alcher said its "entire midships" was destroyed. Heros Lauded Ten Canadian and 10 U.S. Navy men were credited by the skipper with most of the work that led to the fire being quelled and the ship finally being towed into the Burrard Dry Dock in Vancouver, where it arrived at about midnight. The Canadians were led by Navy-Commander K.E. Lewis and the Americans by Chief Petty Officer J.L. Scrimager of San Diego, Calif. The Canadian and U.S. ships were tied up near each other at a dock when the call for help arrived. The fire party was organized within minutes. Two of the Ferngulf's 39 crewmen were listed in critical condition early today with burns covering 80 percent of their bodies. Three others were treated at North Vancouver General Hospital for less serious injuries and later released. High Winds Lashing Catalina Channel The bishop, writing in the official magazine of his diocese, specifically challenged the Graham method of counting "conversions." He cited an instance when a rest from the Rockhampton diocee was present at a Graham meeting. A man stood up and made an emotional speech, at the end of which he asked all those 'who accused the Lord Jesus as their personal savior' to stand up," he note. "Naturally, the priest felt must stand..." Those who stood were counted in conversions, although they all are already devout followers of Sir Lord and Master. This sort thing is both objectional and honest. We should be fearless though to say so." In Sydney, where the American angelist is now preaching, a bakerman for his organization and the bishop "used language a taller stronger than probably was necessary." Berry Beavan, director of the Graham organization, said people to stand at its meetings are led "inquirers who came forcounseling," or persons kicking "decisions for Christ" other than converts. Another Anglican prelate, Bishop H. Burgmahh of Canberra and Malburn, agreed that his colgue had been unduly harsh. I criticize some of Graham's methods, but I have no evidence suggest that any of their assists are 'objectionable, dishondistressing or disgusting,'" said. In Melbourne, 340 Graham addressors boarded a special train beside dawn today, bound for Sydbury to attend three Graham meetments. Many of them had heard when he preached in Melbourne. This time both Johnson and Reece, later found to be an escapee from Pine Grove Camp near Sacramento, were handcuffed. Police report both became belligerent on the way to the station — kicking out the rear window of a patrol car.
