Goodpaster, aide on rational security matters, and by a White House secretary, The illfated launching at- tempt came on a sunny, chilly Winds were sufficiently light not to interfere seriously with the program.

A series of "holds" or delavs in the pre-launch program had retarded the launching attempt repeated from the initially planned sunrise hour of 7 a.m. As the tension built up, so did the crowds waiting along the beaches overlooking the cape launching area. MANY OBSERVERS There were perhaps not so many automobiles and strollers as last Tuesday evening, but there were thousands of watch- ers nonetheless. J.

At the same time, he stressed that everyone was prepared for failure and that from a fail- ure would come valuable les-2 sons for the next try. The U.

6. James R. Hoffa, president-elect of the Teamsters union, said torn day he had no intention of quitting to save the union from ouster by the AFL-CIO. To questions from newsmen on the AFL-CIO move to expel the union, Hoffa said: "Why should I quit? Why don't you fellows quit your job?" Referring to the AFL-CIO meeting at Atlantic City, Hoffa continued: "It's their ball game. Let them do what they want and let them try to keep up with what we have gotten for our men and ill get for them.

"What you write today Is dead tomorrow, but what I do today for the men lives for-- ever for them and their families." Hoffa made the comment prior to a session of his trial on wiretap conspiracy charges. NEVADA BAIL BOND GO.

Center. he offered to get such a commitment orally, but he said Hoffa's own intermediary said Hoffa could not "be trusted on a verbal pledge.

Expulsion of the teamsters was viewed as putting substance behind the AFL-CIO promises to uiuuiia vi luii upituji, or tnrovv tnem out. Meany said he hoped there would be no war between the now expelled teamsters and other AFL-CTO unions. Many have depended on teamsters support in strikes and organizing. The teamsters said in advance of the vote they planned no war and still would cooperate with other unions. But this possibility remained of growing inter-union strife.

Before the vote there had been final pleas against expul- ton teamster administrative vice sion by Einar O. Mohn, Washing-president, and Joseph English, teamster secretary-treasurer. The AFL-CIO appeals committee, which had recommended expulsion, rejected the pleas.

WE MUSJ HAVE FIRST-RATE SCHOOLS Published as a public service in cooperation with The Advertising Council and the Newspaper Advertising Executives Association 4 The 1957 Community Chest campaign now stands at 146 or roughly 75 per cent of the goal according to a report issued 'today by Joseph F. Mc Donald, campaign chairman. The chest is seeking $170,000 to care for the needs of 12 Red Feather agencies.

Heading the list of divisions terms or dollars turned in is the gaming division under the chairmanship of Harold S. Gor man. So far the division has turned in a total of $40,288 or nearly 75 per cent of their goal. The second place divi sion is the firm-employe and payroll participation division headed by Fred Veach and Paul Garwood. They have account ed for $40,288.

Percentage-wise, the military division heads the list. The military' district donations have reached 125 per cent of their goal and Stead Air base personnel have contributed $2668, several times more than their gift last year. Community Chest leaders are now looking toward the resi dential division to swell the total bv several thousand dol lars. Under the chairmanship of Mrs. E.

Thayer Bigelow, the division has been hampered by a lack of workers. Under a reorganization plan, the executive directors of the 12 Red Feather agencies have volunteered to provide the help. Under the leadership of O. A. Wahen-brock, director of the YMCA, workers are being provided for every section of the city and areas not formerly covered will be solicited within the next few days.

The goal of the residential division has been set at $10,000. eluding Friedman, who flunked an earlier effort to obtain a license as part owner of the Royal Nevada. Testifying Thursday as to the Royal Nevada's financial condition, Malcolm said: It has lost $316,000 in the past 12 months (mostly because of high entertainment costs, other officials said pri vately). Its assets never have equaled its liabilities, ranging from a high of $S6 in assets to each S100 in debts to a low of $36 to each $100. Its readily available bankroll for the payment of gambling losses ranged from a high of $59,419 in August to a low of $34,757 in October.

low," said Malcolm, in view of the fact a single day's loss last April amounted to $26,000.) It owed $103,000 in state and federal taxes as of Oct. 31 $45,000 of that amount being money that had been collected in federal withholding taxes and similar levies. Foley, in cross examining Malcolm on each point, drew the acknowledgement that no audit has been made since Oct. 31 and thus the state doesn't know how many bills have been paid or what new money may gj nave oeen added to the bank roll since then. Royal Nevada Defense Told (Continued from page 1) Walts said he observed at least three players go broke at the table during a 10 to 15 minute period.

Earlier testimony yesterday has tended to show the Royal Nevada is and has been in serious financial trouble. Walts went on to say that he again saw Manuel dealing seconds on August 26 about 10:30 p.m. He said seconds were dealt only two times and that then a pit boss came and whispered in the dealer's ear. The dealer looked startled and the practice was discontinued immediately, said Walts. Tempers flared between Springer and Foley when the latter objected to Springer's reading into the record an observation that Maurice Fried man who is persona non grata with the gaming board has throughout the hearing so far been conferring with licensee T.

W. Richardson and Robert Ryne and their attorney and has been poring through corporation records. Springer said the observation tended to support another gam ing board charge against the hotel owners that they have permitted the association of person whom the board feels are ineligible for a gambling license. Obviously angry, Foley asked that the observation be stricken from the record, saying he was conferring with Friedman because he is a witness for the hotel. The attorney labeled Springer's move a "low blow" and declared it showed disregard for the rules and ethics of the legal profession.

Springer responded that his ethics were not at issue. He added that though the gaming board members themselves could see Friedman's conspicu ous presence at the hearing, a court subsequently reviewing the case could be appraised of it only if it was noted in the record. The gaming board per mitted the observation to stand. Testimony on the cheating charge followed Tuesday dis closures of some financial problems the hotel faces. The gaming control board's.

thief auditor David Malcolm carried the burden of testimony in this segment of the hearing. The control board has charged that the hotel is not being operated properly, and this includes the accusation that the resort lacks the money to pay off potential big gaming losses, as well as the cheating citation. Cited to show why their Nevada gaming license should not be revoked are owners T. W. Richardson, Edward Chandler and Robert Ryne.

The citation also includes the charge that they have unsavory associates rr 1 ffie next you visit the Riverside at lunchtime notice how many business and professional men are enjoying the quiet and relaxed atmosphere.
