AGE A-2 ALTON EVENING TELEGRAPH SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1969 Alioto Denies Charges Of Connections to Mafia SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Mayor Joseph L. Alioto denied Friday allegations in a forthcoming Look magazine article that he has Mafia connections going back nearly 25 years. He said he would sue for $12.5 million. Alioto, 53, a prospective Democratic candidate for governor of California, declared the article was intended to strip him of public confidence. He said he would seek air time to refute the allegations.

The article, in Look's Sept. 23 New Rules For Judges In Illinois CHICAGO (AP) NV.v rules of ethics will be drafted for Illinois judges by a recently formed seven-man committee, the Illinois Supreme Court an nounced Friday. Justice Robert C. Underwood made the announcement at the final session of the three-day II linois Judicial Conference, attended by 331 judges from throughout the stale. He said the committee will consider "the problems relating to conflicts of interest and formulate standards regarding nonjudicial activities and economic interests of judges." Underwood said the appointment of the committee was a unanimous decision of the four Supreme Court justices attending the conference.

The committee will be headed by John E. Cribbett, dean of the University of Illinois Law School. Underwood said the high court's interest in tightening the code of ethics was the result of an increasing national concern about judges' conduct in addition to what he called Illinois' recent problems.

It's been a definite hardship on the county road program, Bartulis told the Telegraph, for these personal property automobile owners have been using the highways.

"Everyone who uses the highways in the county must pay their fair share of the personal property taxes," Bartulis said. Delinquents can take heart. They still have time. Bartulis said that his office is swamped with persons paying their taxes now and when that task is finished he must prepare for the delinquent real estate tax sales. The sales will not take place until October and seizure teams will only then be organized.

They will move swiftly into all townships in the county, the County treasurer said. Macoupin County like Madison to the south is making new attempts to collect personal property taxes, one of the mainstays of financing local government sand school districts.

Demos Blast Nixon Plans On Tax Bill By JOE HALL WASHINGTON (AP) Nixon administration tax bill proposals have run into a hefty burst of criticism from Democratic senators who say the suggested changes would add to the burden of the individual taxpayer. The administration recom mendations on the House passed bill "could well have been devised in a big business board room," says Sen. Ralph Yarborough, D-Tex. Treasury Secretary David M. Kennedy concluded the administration's two-day presentation to the Senate Finance Committee Friday.

He contended the House version overemphasizes tax re duction for individuals and slighted the needs of business for production and capital investment funds. 'I am not persuaded by your argument," Sen. J. William Ful- jright, told the secretary. "It seems to me there is much to be said for the view of House that we ought to try narrow the gap between the very wealthy and the poor." Sen.

Thomas J. Mclntyre, D- N.H., said the administration's proposals "reflect large concessions to corporations, to Wall treet, and to the rich, all at the expense of the average taxpayer whom reform was supposed help." Sen. Herman E. Talmadge, announced he would try defeat an administration recommendation to knock out the deduction for state gasoline taxes. Sen.

Russell B. Long, the committee chairman said he would try to retain the House jill provision which would raise he standard deduction from the )resent 10 per cent of taxable ncome with a $1,000 ceiling up 15 per cent and $2,000. This ivould permit another 11.8 mil- ion taxpayers to quit itemizing heir deductions. The administration proposal for 12 per cent and $1,400. Under this, an additional 4 million axpayers no longer would have itemize.

Kennedy cited this as one fea- of the House bill which too much relief to certain ndividuals as compared with other classes of taxpayers. For instance, he said it favored apartment dwellers over homeowners since the latter usually have large deductions with their mortgage interest and real estate tax payments. Talmadge declared that the removal of the right to deduct state gasoline taxes would penalize the millions who he said must use their cars to get to work. A Kennedy assistant replied the extra tax would amount to only about $15 a year for such taxpayers. The committee hopes to write version of the measure in October.

But Senate Democratic leader Mike Mansfield, conceded for the first time Friday it might not be possible to )ass the bill this year. Private Indicted issue, said Alioto had provided Mafia leaders "with bank loans, legal services, business counsel and the protective mantle of his respectability. In return he has earned fees, profits, political support and campaign contributions." "I have never been associatec with the Mafia or with any un derworld activity," Alioto told news conference. Earlier he hac said: "Some of the people have represented are not plaster saints, but there was never any illegal connection with any- For Slaying CHICAGO (AP) A Cook grand jury Friday indicted a 19-year-old Army private on a charge of murdering his stepfather three years ago.

(AP) Paul Chabot, 16, of Gurnee was found dead in the rear seat of a car early today and Lake County officials said death may have been caused by inhaling lighter fluid. The teen-ager and two companions were at a drive-in theater.

The two companions told sheriff's deputies that they Found Chabot unconscious when they returned from a refreshment stand. Officials said a bottle of lighter fluid and a balloon were found on the seat and they theorized the youth may have been inhaling lighter fluid by pouring it in the balloon. Officials said an autopsy would be performed to determine the cause of death. War I campaign hat. Others walked in their bare feet and obviously weren't going to make it all the way.

One girl sat rubbing the soles of her feet at Grafton and seemed to realize that she was near the end of the line. Other, more experienced walkers, had prepared themselves with sturdy walking shoes and proper stockings. The Rev. James Nickel, pastor of Faith Lutheran Church in Godfrey; Joe Bitner of Brighton, and Al Herter of Alton, were among these. Far out in front of the rest of marchers, Nickel and his two companions had taken a lead of about three miles as the group left Grafton.

"We're just keeping a steady pace, Herter a teacher at West Junior High School said. "By the way, you got a sandwich? We're getting a little hungry." Perspiration streaming from their faces in the 90- degree heat, the three men strolled towards Alton determined to be the first to complete the more-than- 25-mile hike. Nickel and several young members of his congregation played a major role in getting the Hunger March organized. It is being sponsored by 10 area Lutheran churches. Mrs.

Carol (Ollie) Mattson, one of the young leaders in the project, said that the march is expected to raise about $10,000. It will be divided among the Middletown Neighborhood Center in Alton, Biafra relief agencies, and the Mississippi River Delta which was devastated recently by a tropical storm. Marchers earn funds from sponsors who agreed in advance to pay a fixed amount for each mile marched by each hiker. At checkpoints, set up every five miles along the march route, hikers present cards which are checked and verified. The Hunger Hike ends tonight at Riverfront Park with a community songfest to which the public is invited.

The article, by Richard Carlson and Lance Brisson, deals chiefly with alleged activities of alleged gangsters with whom the writers said Alioto has had conversations or relationships. It does not accuse the mayor of violating any law, but Alioto's libel and slander suit, filed in U.S. District Court, contend that false implications were made deliberately to injure him.

A Look spokesman in New York City said the magazine would have no immediate statement on the suit. Look said that when Alioto was running for mayor in 1967 ''the Cosa Nostra did its part" on his behalf in the form of contributions. In 1965, the article said, Alioto 'personally arranged" loans tolling $105,000 from the First San Francisco Bank, of which he was board chairman, for "a notorious Cosa Nostra killer, Jimmy 'The Weasel' Fratian- no." Look said Alioto acknowledged meeting with Fratianno and sending him to the bank at request of Jack Goldberger, i Teamsters Union official. The magazine said Goldberger denied any role in the loans and that Fratianno denied meeting Alioto or Goldberger. Alioto's news secretary, Hadey Roff, said Alioto had met with Fratianno and Goldberger and had called the bank to say Tratianno was coming over, ater, Roff said, Alioto called bank again and told officials to consider the loan only on its merits.

Look said Fratianno defaulted on the series of loans and a "sizable part of the debt is still unpaid." i Alioto's suit states that those reports and others in the Look article were intended "to injure he plaintiff and deprive him of respect, confidence and es- eem peculiarly essential to the plaintiff's public office and profession" and further to bring on him "scandal, ridicule and professional disrepute." Alioto has been considered as a Democratic challenger to Republican Gov. Ronald Reagan 'or the governorship next year. Golfer BLOOMINGTON, 111. (AP) struck and killed James M.

Collective Leadership Will Take Over North Vietnam By PETER T. SUM TOKYO (AP) North Vietnam announced today a collec- leadership will lead the nation as foreign dignitaries in Hanoi paid their last respects to President Ho Chi Minn. Hanoi radio said the leadership of officials and fighters, none of them named, had "been selected and well trained by our President Ho Chi Minh," who died Wednesday of a heart attack. Quoting the official Communist party newspaper Nhan Dan, he broadcast said the leadership "will continue the battle for reedom and independence of all our people and all our nation un- il the last American aggressor driven from our land, 1he South is completely liberated, and our fatherland united once again." The commentary was a decla- of future leadership policy and appeared to rule out, at east for now, any struggle for lower in Hanoi. The collective leadership cer- ainly includes four strong- willed men in Le Duan, 'irst secretary of Communist party; Premier Pham Van Duong; Trnong Chinh, chairman of the National Assembly and leading theoretician, and Gen.

Vo Nguyen Giap, defense minister and the North's mili- country will be ruled by a "col- tary strategist. lective leadership" in the wake das. Hanoi's Vietnam News Agency said the Viet Cong was sending a delegation to attend Ho's slate funeral Wednesday. The body of the North Vietnamese president will lie in state until Tuesday. A four-man Chinese Communist delegation headed by Premier Chou En-lai returned to Peking Thursday evening after a visit that lasted only a day.

Hanoi did not say why the Chinese were not staying for the funeral, but it seemed likely that they wanted to avoid meeting the Soviet delegation headed by Premier Alexei N. Kosygin, which arrives later today. Messages of condolence poured into Hanoi from North Vietnam's Communist allies today, most of them expressing solidarity with Hanoi in the Vietnam war and denouncing the United States. Hanoi said the Viet Cong had formed a 2G-man committee to organize mourning ceremonies in the South. North Vietnam's party newspaper, Nhan Dan, said today the Biased Unions Still Get Work (Continued From Page 1.) discriminating against members of minority groups in Chicago, too but the problem is not as deep-rooted as it is in East St.

Louis," said a Chicago area contractor and member of the board of directors for the Council of Contractors Association. The contractor, who has handled U.S. Government funded contracts in the East St. Louis area, as well as Chicago, said "Some of the companies that had the most difficulty with members of minority groups in Chicago, are the ones with the most integrated work force." "One contractor had 20 cent Negro help, and they gave him hell," the key contractor source said. "They tell us we must integrate the work force, but the union, has control with their exclusive hiring hall rights.

I think the Justice Department is trying to fight this hiring hall control enjoyed by the unions." In its lawsuits against the cement finishers, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 309 and the Operating Engineers, Local 520, the Justice Department charged that the unions refused to refer or authorize Negroes for employment on the same basis as white persons. The government also said highway construction costs in the area are too high. The suits also alleged that the unions failed or refused to deal with Negro contractors on the same basis as white contractors. These charges are a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and "their policies and practices had the effect of interfering with contractors' compliance with their equal em- pi opportunity obligations under the Executive Order," Jerris Leonard, assistant attorney general for Civil Rights Division, said. Leonard said that he noted the Justice Department's willingness to continue to seek a voluntary resolution of the issues and the government attorneys have arranged to meet again with representatives of the unions in the near future.
