BACK TO PAPA FOR BRIDE, 13 WASHINGTON Wl Senate Rackets Investigating Committee today played a secretly wiretapped telephone conversation in Corallo advised fellow hoodlum Alfred Reger to get in touch with labor problem.

Corallo, hunched over in the witness chair, took the Fifth Amendment and refused to iden- tiiy his voice on the recording. But it was so identified by an agent of the New York Police De- pjirtment, Natale Laurendi. The recording of the Oct. 28, 1954 phone call between Corallo and Reger spoke of interceding with "Jimmy," and "Jimmy to get a missive to the New Jersey Teamsters Council to avoid having Teamsters Local No. 522 into two locals.

The conversation was laced with profanity words represented by "beep" on the cleaned up record big. The recording was one more Hnk in the chain of evidence the committee is seeking to develop that James R.

Committee Counsel Robert Kennedy said the two succeeded for a time in forestalling splitting the local. Reger, Kennedy said, was its principal officer, but he looked to Corallo for guidance. Another phone recording, like the other obtained by secret court order under New York law, had Corallo talking with a man named "Freddie" about the police breaking up a "floating crap Corallo declined, running his Fifth Amendment refusals to more than 50 times, to say whether un ion funds were used to finance the crap game The recording indicated the racketeers were out about $1,200 when the gambling was broken up.

Kennedy said he also expects to show that, in league with rack eteer Dio, they helped to rig the 1956 election in which Teamsters boss James R. Hoffa captured control of the Teamsters Joint Council 16 in New York. This was a major stride in Hoffa's rise to power in the union. The committee already has heard some wiretapped record ings.

One of these was a tele phone conversation between Dio and Corallo discussing plans to defeat Martin J. Lacey for reelection as president of Joint Council 16 and supplant him with John O'Rourke, who finally got the post. O'Rourke was backed by Hoffa. It heard testimony Wednesday that Dio henchmen lined up for O'Rourke votes from persons wh didn't even know they had been listed as Teamster officials or members.

HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON WV-Russia -stood out today as the big winner so far in a diplomatic dogfight between Syria and the United States. The Soviet policy of making trouble for the Western powers in the Middle East appears to have paid off handsomely in this conflict, which led Wednesday to American osster of the Syrian ambassador to Washington. Announcing that Ambassador Farid Zeineddine was no longer personally acceptable here, the fState Department also declared that the U.S. ambassador to Damascus, James S. Moose will not be returning to his post.

In addition, the State Department ordered out of the country Hassin Zakaria of the Syrian Embassy. That step and the action against Zeineddine, who was already in Syria, were taken in retaliation for Syria's'ouster of three American Embassy officials earlier this week. But the department said the actions do not mean a break-off of diplomatic relations and officials disavowed any intentions to go that far, COMMITTEE DISREGARDS IKE'S PLEA House Group 800 Million From Fund!

Mayor Henry Clay Nix and lice Chief Davidson Hargis watched the Klansmen don their robes and march through town, six abreast. After the Klansmen crossed the Southern Railroad tracks, they turned around, marched the four blocks back through town and left. It apparently was a peaceful demonstration. The next morning, the town and Zakaria were coupled with protests against a Syrian charge Monday that the United States was involved in a plot to overthrow President Shukri Kuwatly. That charge was followed by the Kuwatly government's order directing that Howard Stone.

LEUKEMIA PATIENT IMPROVED Doctors Transplant Human Bone Marrow PHILADELPHIA (JH A 20- month-old girl, suffering from acute leukemia, has received what doctors Bay may be the first successful transplant of human bone marrow. The child is Laura MacDonald of suburban Drexel Hill and the transplant was made from her twin sister Mary. They are the children of Mr.

and Mrs. Robert MacDonald. Laura was released today from Fitzgerald Mercy Hospital in nearby Darby with the leukemia no longer evident though doctors say it could return. She was admitted in mid-June in poor condition from the a cancer of the blood cells which is almost always fatal. "Because little hope was held for her survivial," a hospital spokesman said, "Heroic ures were agreed upon when it was discovered that Laura's twin Mary had the same blood type as hers.

The decision was made to try and transplant Mary's healthy bone fnarrow to her sister. "PD July Laura underwent those a massive dose of total body irradiation in an effort to destroy the diseased marrow immediately before the transplant. "The following day the children were taken to an operating room where marrow was drawn from Mary's shin bone and hip bone! into syringes treated with anticoagulants. This marrow was then injected into Laura's bloodstream. The youngster responded steadily to the transplant and had no violent reaction.

In the ensuing days, there has been an encouraging improvement in the condition of her blood." The attending physicians, who declined to be stated: "This is not to be construed as a cure for acute leukemia. "This possibly may. be the first probable- successful transplant of marrow from, one twin to another with the preliminary use of new antileukemic medicines and irradiation, and there has been a favorable effect upon the leukemia, the end.result of.which will require a much longer to evaluate." found out it was not. Virgil Brewster, one of beaten, tells this story: "We was sitting on a bench We'd gone to watch television While we was sitting there, we turned around and the yard was filled with folks." Were they masked? "Yes, sir, boss. They had only their eyes showing." Brewster said the masked men forced the Negroes to turn around and beat them from the rear, using rubber hose or blackjacks.

After the beating, Brewster continued, four of the Negroes were taken out into the road and told to start running. Were any of the men armed? "Yes, sir. They had some pistols. "We started running, and I ran about a quarter of a mile and hid in the woods. While I was running heard four or five shots." Brewster later went home and prepared to leave town.

The next morning he told Stremming he was leaving, and Stremming persuaded him to stay. "It is going to be easier to run the Klan off than it is for the Klan to run the Negroes off," said Stremming. Stremming operates the Stremming Veneer which employs about 275 people, only 15 per cent of whom are Negroes. Stremming and his wife received a telephone call Wednesday night advising them against staying at home. Police and sheriff's deputies were sent to guard the fStremming residence against possible violence.

Maplesville has two policemen a day man and a night man. Nix said there was no law against Klan meetings, and when his police force was confronted by the night riders they did nothing. What would you have done?" he asked Molloy of the U.S. Embassy staff leave Syria. The retaliation came Wednesday afternoon when Asst.

Secretary of State William Rountree summoned Dr. Mamun Hamui, Syrian Embassy counselor to his office for an 18-minute conference. Rountree protested Syria's recent behavior toward the United States and handed Hamui a note declaring Zeineddine and Zakaria "persona non grata" (unwelcome). Hamui declined to make any comment upon leaving Rountree. In addition to the protest against "the government-inspired slanderous campaign which has been earned on against the United States," Rountree also protested "interference with an American diplomatic courier at the Syrian border on Aug.

12." Relations between Washington and Damascus have been going downhill for many months. Syria is closely linked with Egypt in its Middle East policy and has, like Egypt, taken substantial shipments of arms from the Soviet bloc. While United States influence in Damascus has declined Russia's influence is believed to have grown markedly. The finishing touches were being made today on a new $67,000 cottage at the Mt. Vernon Methodist Children's Home.

The handsome, modern 13-unit cottage will be the future home of ten adolescent girls and will provide facilities for excellent living conditions for them.

LOUIS The Carl M. Whitneys were only gone from home for 35 minutes Wednesday night. When they returned here's what they found: Goods valued at more than $5,000 of money, guns jewelry and clothing missing.

"My heart was all right with God," said Mrs.

Ruth Nelson of Bradenton, Wednesday night, Mrs. Nelson was swept into the sea Monday night when the prayer-cruise schooner Janeen heeled over sharply in a sudden storm two miles off the Haitian coast near Miragoane. Mrs. John Shuler, wife of the pastor of the First Methodist Church at Paris, was carried overboard at the same time but she managed to grab a rope and was hauled back aboard the schooner. Bill Dozier, 17, of Sarasota, Fla.

leaped into the storm-lashed sea in an effort to reach Mrs. Nelson. "When the storm struck I was sitting on a mattress on deck be side Mrs. Shuler," Mrs. Nelson said.

"In flash we were in the water ana the next thing I knew was that Bill Dozier bad grabbed me and a mattress came floating right into ow arms. "The waves were high and it rained," she continued. "I managed to get my chin on the mattress and as it got soggy I wound my arms around a lump of it. Bill held on to ne side and tried to swim beside me. Bill said it seemed we were in for it.

I replied that my heart was all right with God and I started to pray with him." Mrs. Nelson said they floated and prayed until daybreak. At dawn young Dozier began swimming and pushing the mattress in the direction of the shore. Then a fishing boat approached. "I shouted," said Mrs.

Nelson. 'Either they heard or saw me and came alongside, taking me and the mattress aboard. We went after Bill and in a few minutes he was in the boat too." The rescued Floridans were returned to their schooner at goane, 50 miles from Port au Prince. Those aboard the vessel include 32 Methodist ministers on a prayer and preaching mission in the Carribean. WASHINGTON The House Appropriations Committee' today brushed aside a new from President Eisenhower the third this week and slashed $809,650,000 from foreign aid funds.

The action came on the heels a White House statement, directed" to the committee, asking for restoration of the money "in the viction that the national interests' of this country are deeply hv" volved." Then Eisenhower in a special" news conference, a session as he has never held before, ap-T pealed for all of the $3,367,083,000" which Congress had set as the. ceiling in an authorization bill he" had just signed. That figure itself, is half a billion less than Eisen-." originaly said was needed Eisenhower served notice that" he will call a special session ot, Congress to get more money of he- finds U. S. Interests jeopardized- by the-lack of needed funds.

Disregarding the special session talk, an appropriations subcomv mittee in a closed Wednesday night made the $809 650,000 cut which the full 50-menv. toer committee approved today. The week's first Eisenhower plea for foreign-aid-money 1 made to a congressimint -gfguj'' Monday highfc i The new Eisenhower statement came out while the full committee was working on the bill. In its final committee form the measure allows $2,524,760 ,000 in new money for the overseas program in the year which started July 1. With a carryover of $667,050,000 from previous appropriations, this gives Eisenhower $1,288 ,200,000 less than he first said was needed.

Before the full committee acted today Republican Leader Martin of Massachusetts said Eisenhower won't stand for the cut the subcommittee made. "It's too deep a cut," Martin said. "The President won'tistand for tins, 'this will not permit him to keep his commitments." The new presidential statement bore out Martin's prediction on how Elsenhower would view the subcommittee action. It did not, however, go Into the matter of a special session or anything else Eisenhower might do about it. The full committee report, written by Rep.

Passman (D-La) who headed the subcommittee, said the group has evidence that the funds approved are more than adequate to keep the program operating effectively. It said the committee noted that the unexpanded balance for the mutual security program last June 30 was $6,195,000,000. That, with the new money recommended, would give the agency $8,719 ,760,000. As In his previous pleas, Eisenhower took the stand today that even the full authorization bill figures would hamper programs designed for the country's best interests. "The President." the statement said, "is gravely concerned over these cuts.

In the conviction that the national interests of this country are deeply involved, he sin- cerelv hopes that final congressional action will restore the amounts to those authorized by the Congress yesterday." Congress authorized $3,367,083,000 but the subcommittee voted to slash this by $809,650,000 in action on a bill making the actual appropriation. "It's too deep a cut," Martin said. "The President won't stand for this. This will not permit him to keep his commitments." Only a few hours before the subcommittee acted, Eisenhower moned special news conference he will have to call a special session of Congress if United States Interests are jeopardized by a lack of needed foreign aid funds. Martin served notice he will fight to get the House to restore the amount that the subcommittee oted to cut Wednesday night.

The subcommittee, by divided vote, sliced to $2,524,760,000 the proposed new appropriations tot the year started July 1. This sum, plus 667,050,000 cat- ryover approved from previously appropriated funds, would give Elsenhower $1,288,200,000 Tim than the amount he. Originally said was needed to help Miltftf free world strength during year. GOP leaders expected the DWfc ocraUc-controlled full (Continued wtT".
