THE PALM BEACH POST, Thursday, Feb. 6, 1958 Probers Told Airline Paid For CAB Chief's Golf Trip WASHINGTON, Feb, 5 (UP) House investigators were told today that an airline company paid for a 1956 golfing trip by Chairman James R. Durfee of the Civil Aeronautics Board, the agency that regulates the airlines.

Durfee's name was injected into a congressional hearing by Chairman John C. Doerfer of the Federal Communications Commission who accompanied him on the trip to Pinehurst, N. C. Doerfer did not name the airline involved. The incident was disclosed as Doerfer denied for the third day charges by the staff of a House Commerce subcommittee that he accepted lavish favors from the broadcasting industry.

He said the only things he accepted were in line with the "social amenities." Four Others Accused The subcommittee also permitted four other accused FCC commissioners to read, or have read for them, letters which they too denied "personal misconduct" charges. But several protested that the investigators still had not spelled out charges against them. They had submitted the letters previously to subcommittee Chairman Morgan Moulder (D-Mo.) in response to a request for a general report on any favors bestowed on them. The subcommittee granted the four a brief hearing after two of them Robert T. Bartley, a nephew of speaker Sam Rayburn, and Rosel H.

Funeral services for Miss Hodgdon, 64, of Cherokee will be held today at 2 p.m. at Leopold Pleads For His Freedom To Parole Board JOLIET, Feb. 5 (UP) "Thrill killer" Nathan Leopold, appealing for parole after 33 years in prison, said today he never wanted to join in the murder which has become known as the crime of the century. The balding, ailing Stateville Penitentiary convict, appearing before the Illinois Pardon and Parole Board within the prison walls, described himself as an "intelligent savage" when he joined his idolized friend, Richard Loeb, in the 1924 Chicago murder of 14-year-old Bobby Franks. Leopold's appearance was a dramatic climax to an all day parole board session to determine whether the 52-year-old murderer's fifth plea for freedom should be granted.

Famed poet Carl witnesses Sanburg was one of a string of who said Leopold should be released. He told the parole board he would rather have been Leopold, struggling "for the light" in Stateville, than labor leaders Dave Beck and James R. Hoffa. Cook County (Chicago) Adamowski State's Atty. Benjamin opposed the freedom plea.

He said Leopold should stay in prison until his death and not even be offered the hope of freedom. The board will make its final decision known later in Springfield. Today Leopold described how he and Loeb, both brilliant university students in their teens, plotted the murder of the Franks boy in order to achieve a perfect crime. The self-styled "supermen" were captured in short order and Loeb was murdered in a prison brawl in 1936. Meredith's Voice Wins Plaudits In Concert Here By JONATHAN KOONTZ Morley Meredith gave one of the most perfect concerts this reviewer has ever attended at Norton Gallery Wednesday evening.

Young, handsome, Canadianborn Meredith seems to have everything he needs to make him the top concert artist of our time. His voice is strong, robust, a true baritone rather than a bass- baritone or a high baritone. It is fantastically good in the middle voice, both mezzo voce and forte, and good enough at both higher and lower ranges to easily meet the demands of a strenuous and exacting program. vocal production is right, right throughout his voice. who sing the way Meresings keep on going for years years and get better as they Just a shade blossom more the velvet, a more on top and Meredith will belong the handful of really great that dominate the world of concert.

An athletic six-three, Meredith dominates the stage with complete ease, and sends out a warm feeling that everything is going to be just right. It is. It is easy to believe from the samples during the concert, that also an actor of authentic ability. this amazing young singer is His command of mood, his intelligent comprehension of the work he was doing was evident in very gesture as well as in every sound. He seems equally home in Italian, French or German, treating each with the proper approach.

But his clear, crisp, but natural English diction is so refreshing it seemed a pity to leave it for another set of sounds. Despite a demanding program, Meredith was generous with encores, singing one at intermission and three at the end of the program. The first group of songs seemed a strange selection, but served admirably to show off the fine instrument at the artist's command. After that, the real singing began. It is useless to mention favorites.

All were good. It is true that there were a few moments when the magnificently big voice seemed a wee bit too big for what it was trying to do, and there was curious lack of one or two big, smashing numbers designed to leave the hearer gasping, but all in all, this was a most satisfying concert. From his showing at Norton Gallery, there is nothing in the world of vocal music to which this amazingly talented young singer may not aspire, with every prospect of satisfying that aspiration.

The executive is moving to make recommendations and we should be ready to give them early consideration." The proposed Johnson committee would have 13 members -seven Democrats and six Republiccans drawn from the ranks of the Senate Armed Services, Foreign Relations, Appropriations, Commerce and Government Operations committees the Joint Atomic Energy Committee.

Johnson said the point had been reached "where broad policy problems are raised" in connection with the conquest of space and they "must be settled now lest they become stumbling blocks to progress." In his news conference discussion, the President emphasized that his administration was giving first priority to the development of space weapons to meet Russia's challenge. But he said he had gotten "a group of fine scientists" together under the leadership of Dr. Killiam and asked them to prepare "for the United States a program of outer space He noted that they were working "in the whole scientific area" and would not intrude on defense space programs. The President was asked specifically about a prediction by Dr. Wernher von Braun, chief architect of the Army's Explorer satellite, that this country might send a rocket to the moon and back within 10 years.

Ike Sees Tax Cut Possible As Boost To Economy Lag WASHINGTON, Feb. 5 (UP) President Eisenhower on said today he regarded a tax cut as a possible "reserve weapon" for ulating the economy if the expected upturn in a business activity fails to materialize. But the President told his news Subpenas Issued For Legislative Racial Hearing TALLAHASSEE, Feb. 5. (UP)-Subpenas went out today for witnesses to testify here Monday at the opening of a sweeping legislative committee investigation into Communism and the racial situation in Florida.

Names of the witnesses, summoned for the hearing beginning at 10 a. will not be disclosed until all have been served, probably late tomorrow afternoon or Friday. Sen. Charley Johns of Starke, committee chairman, said the Tallahassee hearing will last "two or three days" and another hearing is scheduled for Miami later this month. He would not disclose at this time what phase of the broad investigation will be covered at the first hearing, but he said the committee would cover both Communism and race matters before it completes its job in the spring of 1959.

The committee's investigator, R. J. Strickland, has been spending a great deal of time in Gainesville and Tallahassee, seat of the state universities. Expense statements show he was in Gainesville Jan. 1-9.

He does not file expenses for work in Tallahassee, home base of the investigating committee. Sen. Bart Knight of Blountstown, a member of the committee, indicated the committee is looking into reports of racial activity on the part of university professors. Strickland and committee counsel Marks Hawes of Tampa have made trips to Central Florida and almost every major city in Florida during the past few months, including Ta pa, Bradenton, Avon Park, Wauchula, Dade City, St. Petersburg, Pensacola, Jacksonville, Miami, Beach, Naples, Lake City, Starke, Ocala and Delray Beach.

Nikita Proposed As Candidate MOSCOW. 1 Feb. 5 (P) Nikita Khrushchev was proposed as nominee for a seat in the Supreme Soviet-Russian equivalent of parliament-in 37 different localities throughout the nation, Tass reported today. The Communist Party chieftain eventually will select one election district in which he will opposed. Meanwhile he's getting much acclaim at popular meetings where names are being advanced for possible nomination.

Among other persons proposed at such gatherings, according to today's report, were Premier Nikolai Bulganin at a district in White Russia. (Continued From Page One) Food Help head of the family has refused an offer to work, it was brought out. Mrs. Ruth S. Griggs, chairman of the Emergency Migrant Committee, stated that most of the migrants have been out of work since December.

She said applications for assistance processed since early December come to over 700, and help has been given to more than 400 families. Until the surplus government food and stocks provided by the county entered the picture Wednesday, the needy had been receiving grocery orders totaling an average of $6.40 per week per family. Mrs. Griggs stated that after a month's careful study of the situation the committee determined that "the critical need is among some 500 to 1,500 bean pickers who live at Okeechobee Center and the Belle Glade Negro quarters, but who work, at this time of year, in the coastal areas of Palm Beach and Broward Counties. These beanpickers make their home here, but commute via labor buses each day to the fields of these other farms.

When the coastal areas were completely wiped out these unemployed laborers became the problem of the Glades area; needing food, lodging and sometimes clothling, not because the normal working forces had been terrifically cut by adverse weather conditions, but because the coastal areas had no work." In late December, said Mrs. Griggs, it was becoming apparent that many migrants were in critical need of financial help, due to freeze and rain. But Belle Glade farmers reported then and now that they are using almost as much labor as ever in the celery, which radish and leafy crop fields were not badly damaged by the freeze. Both conditions are true. A total of 672 car-equivalents for January, 1958 indicates considerable harvesting activities, but comparing a total of 1,582 cars for January, 1957, shows the number that could have been used if the conditions had remained the same.

Police Question 9 Negro Youths In Slashing Case CHICAGO, Feb. 5 (P) Nine Negro youths held in the stripping, beating and cutting of an 11-yearold White girl underwent stiff questioning and lie detector tests tonight. All insisted, according to sex bureau detectives, they were innocent of the assault last night in a basement areaway near her home on the south side. Englewood hospital reported the girl in fair condition with possible torn muscles in her thighs, cuts and bruises.

Doctors said she was too weak to view any of those held in connection with the case. Sgt. Thomas Mulvey reported that one of the youths wore shoes bearing stains which might be blood. The shoes were sent to the police crime laboratory for examination. The girl told police that a gang of Negro youths dragged her into the areaway as she returned from a grocery, one block from her home, stripped off her clothing--a Brownie Scout uniform-beat her and slashed her with either a knife or a broken bottle.

He said, however, there was "no question' but that a tax cut would be a "very real, great stimulus on the economy" if the business decline reached a point "where you felt that it was necessary."

But he said the primary objective of the outer space program now is defense. -All outer space projects in the defense department are under the control of Secretary Neil H. McElroy. He made the comment when asked if he would order the Air Force into the satellite program in view of the two successive failures of the Navy's Vanguard rocket. -There would be no point in an East-West summit conference if the participants "would just be glaring at each other across the table." He said advance contacts with the Russians has not unearthed a single topic that could reasonably be discussed at any meeting between East-West chiefs of state.

AUXILIARY MEETING RIVIERA BEACH The Memorial Unit 268, American Legion Auxiliary, will hold its business meeting Friday at 8 p.m. in Town Hall. MIAMI BEACH, Feb. 5 (UP)The AFL CIO today singled out 8 dozen Republican senators it would like to see defeated when they seek re-election next fall. The labor federation also said it would like to have two Democratic senators voted out of office.

Support for nine other Democrats seeking new six-year seante terms will probably be given, the AFL-CIO said. In addition, the federation indicated it would oppose Republicans seeking governorships, including Senate Republican Leader William F. Knowland in California. Labor's attitude was outlined by James L. McDevitt, director of the AFL-CIO Committee on Political Education, in a report to 44 labor leaders who direct COPE activities.

"The election of Mr. Knowland," McDevitt said, "would not be in the best interests of those who work for a living." Labor probably will support Democratic contender Pat Brown, California attorney general, against Knowland. Leading the list of senators on the "don't like" list was Barry Goldwater who had advocated a national right-to work law. McDevitt said labor would back Arizona Democratic Gov. Ernest McFarland, who is expected to oppose Goldwater.

Democratic senators who probably would receive labor backing were listed by McDevitt as John Kennedy, Massachusetts; Stuart Symington, Missouri; Mike Mansfield, Montana, Dennis Chavez, New Mexico; John Pastore, Rhode Island; Albert Gore, Tennessee; Ralph Yarborough, Texas; Henry Jackson, Washington; and William Proxmire, Wisconsin. McDevitt said that "party labels nean nothing" in choosing candidates for labor support, even though more Democrats win backing from unions. Voting records are a key factor in deciding who to back, he said. MRS. FLORENCE DAVIS.
