(AP)—The veil of years was lifted from the murderous Brooklyn waterfront again today with testimony that is one-time district attorney, William O'Dwyer—kept some of its scandals under cover. An official of the AFL International Longshoremen's association told the state crime commission he disclosed a $20,000 waterfront year from the shipping industry in the world's largest port. More testimony was put on the record about lavish cash handouts to ILA officials, handouts the commission has all but labeled shakedown tributes levied against stevedoring firms and shippers. One witness, Constantine Gus Scannavino, a vice president of County Highway Allocations Madison, Dec. 17. (AP)County apportionment of $5,000,669 of federal aid secondary highway funds for 1954 was announced by the California Highway Co mission today, including: Alameda $61,905; Contra Co $104,929; Del Norte $25,413; Frno, $273,481; Humboldt, $112,686; Imperial, $109,083; Inyo, $127,446; Kern, $231,198; Los Angeles, $221,419; Marin, $36,973; Mendocino Of Alleged Cover-up by O'Dwyer NEW YORK, Dec. 18 (F)—The veil of years was lifted from the murderous Brooklyn waterfront again today with testimony that a one-time district attorney, William O'Dwyer—kept some of its scandals under cover. An official of the AFL International Longshoremen's association told the state crime commission he disclosed a $20,000 waterfront duck shakedown to O'Dwyer's office. The witness, Anthony P. Gustira, said nothing ever came of his expose. One of O'Dwyer's former associates in those days, Edward A. Heffernan, claimed he exposed gamester control of the Brooklyn olers 12 years ago. But he said his report gathered dust after O'Dwyer told him to "close the case." Heffernan also told of getting a statement allegedly linking Albert Anastasia in gory detail to the murder of a union waterfront reformer. Heffernan said he was told to file it and forward it. The murder victim was Difter Paolo. His slaying interrupted room into one of the most sensational of cases with the breaking of the old Murder, Inc., gang. O'Dwyer claimed he had a perfect case against Anastasia in the Pants slaying. But if went out the window, he said, with Abel Ries, who plunged to his death while under heavy police guard more than a decade ago. Ries was to have been his star witness. O'Dwyer's regime as Brooklyn district attorney has often been criticized and grand jury injuries more than once have instigated him. Nevertheless, the job was O'Dwyer's stepping stone to the mayoralty and thence to the U.S. embassadorship to Mexico, a post he just resigned. He has often denied there was anything improper in his conduct of the district attorney's office. The state crime commission concentrated on Brooklyn in today's hearing into waterfront rackets that bleed 350 million dollars a year from the shipping industry in the world's largest port. More testimony was put on the record about lavish cash handouts to ILA officials, handouts the commission has all but labeled shakedown tributes levied against stevedoring firms and shipppers. One witness, Constantine Gus Scannavino, a vice president of the ILA, testified he read in the newspapers that he dragged down $6820 in five years. With a bland smile he told the commission: "That surprised me. Honest, I never knew I received so much money. I get a gift and I give a gift. People come over to me and I give them a gift." Kwikset 'Fringe Benefits' Total $1012 Per Person; Above Average Kwikset Locks, Inc. personnel benefits are running far ahead of the national average of "fringe benefits" provided employees in major industries across the nation. According to Kwikset Ink, employee newspaper of the Anaheim lockset manufacturing company. The publication bases its findings on the results of a nationwide survey of personnel benefits in industry conducted recently by the United States Chamber of Commerce. Fringe benefits are in addition to the employee's regular wages, and in addition to premium overtime pay, cost of living increases, incentive bonuses, and other items considered part of the employee's normal pay check. Kwikset's benefits consist of cash profit sharing, paid pension plan, social security and unemployment insurance, deferred profit sharing (an additional pension and savings plan), subsidized cafeteria, group life insurance, Credit Union, hospital-surgical insurance, and paid vacations, holidays, and rest periods. These benefits amount to $1012 a year for each employee at Kwikset. The national average is of comparable benefits provided by 736 leading companies—an all-time high. Recent surveys made by Kwikset's Industrial Relations department show, Kwikset's regular wage rates compare with or are higher than those in other companies having similar type jobs in the Los Angeles area, according to Kwikset Ink. The employee newspaper, which is edited by Max Besler, points out that fringe benefits of met products manufacturers (compatible with Kwikset) were among the highest of several types of industry and business in the nation. They averaged 28.4 cents an hour per employee on a nation-wide basis, as compared with Kwikset's 50.6 cents an hour per employee.

THEY'RE TRYING TO MAKE MONKEYS OUT OF US'—Tragic-looking Tong and Tanga, two-year-old Orangutans, hang on to each other for dear life. Their owner, Alton Freeman, is taking them to the Lincoln Park zoo in Chicago, which bought them for $6000. Perhaps if they know how much they are worth they wouldn't look quite so uncasy. Natives of Borneo, they were raised at Kendall, Fla., and are awaiting shipment to the Windy City, and will probably star on the zoo's television program. Maybe they look unhappy because they were greeted with a Yankee temperature of 86 degrees.

Marilyn Monroe Wishes the World Would Forget her Calendar Photos HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 18 (UP)—A battle of the tractors up today, with Marilyn Monroe served up a main morsel. A manufacturer of plastic laminated trays he had made up a few samples bearing the celebrated portrait of Marilyn in the nude. He said a number of stores had shown interest—and he was willing to cut in the blonde beauty on the profits. But Marilyn indicated a firm huh-uh. The manufacturer wanted to remain snow-free of having posed for the photo when she was hung behind in her rent. She wishes the world would find it easier to maintain snow-free conditions. Police Sergeant Winds up in 'Father' Role Spectacle of a burly police sergeant intently rocking a cradle containing an infant draw startled glances at Santa Ana police head at Wednesday. Dwight "Jim" Gross of the juvenile detail found the baby in its cradle, locked in a parked automobile in downtown Santa Ana. Outraged by the violation, he left a curt note and took the baby and cradle to headquarters. First hint that he had assumed a problem came when Jim headed the first faint cries from the bundle in the cradle, and leaped straight into the air. He scratched his head, looked around anxiously, then settled down beside the cradle and gingerly began to rock it. It worked, and Jim was doing fine 45 minutes later when the mother arrived. Meanwhile he had received word that his note had been taken from the car soon after he placed it there and he wondered why anxious parents hadn't been bursting in the door. "Where's his — I mean it's father?" Jim demanded of the mother. The father, a Marine, was summoned from the car outside. He explained that he had found Jim's note, then had gone to a soda fountain and sipped a coke while waiting for his wife to return from her shopping. "But why didn't you rush down here to see about your baby?" Jim demanded. Oh, I knew he was safe. He was at police headquarters wasn't he?"

'On its 11th day as a captive of the sands, the Calmar Line vessel was pulled from the graveyard of ships outside the Grays Harbor mouth. It was a triumph against odds for salvage experts and the captain and 36-man crew who had remained aboard since the Yorkmar ran aground Dec. 8 while trying to enter Grays Harbor on a voyage from San Francisco. Success came after setbacks from stormy weather; rough seas, shifting sands and broken tow lines. The tug Salvage Chief of Portland, with an assist from the tug Sea Lion of San Francisco, pulled the helpless ship the last lap into the sea after an hour of tugging at high tide this noon. It had set the stage for the successful salvage project by pulling the derelict about 400 feet, a ship's length, yesterday before the ebbing tide cut short the effort. Winds were rising today and warnings were up for an afternoon storm when the Yorkmar finally floated safely into the Pacific. Walter Martignoni, a ship salvage expert from San Francisco, headed the rescue project. It is believed to be the first large ship ever refloated after grounding solidly on the sands of having posed for the photo when she was hung behind in her rent.

He said the initials stood for Moskovich & Murphy, partners of his, and were only coincidentally the same as Mariyn's.
