Dragicevich said all indications are that there will be no shortage of produce here or in Los Angeles. He said the chains can always buy through the independent wholesalers who are not affected by the strike.

United Press International reported from Los Angeles that a spokesman for the Food Employers Council revealed that the union has invoked a special clause in its contracts with wholesale produce market operators, providing that produce not be shipped to any market declared unfair by the Teamsters. The spokesman said the Teamsters advised the association not to ship produce behind picketlines. About 100 markets were being picketed. When the strike-lockout first developed it was believed that produce, meat and bread would not be effected. But pickets were established Tuesday at Jersey Maid Mik and a Food Employers Council spokesman said Safeway meat was not being delivered.

The dispute was further complicated Tuesday when the council filed a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board charging the union with using an illegal. contract with the wholesale produce market. A management spokesman said the Teamsters have invoked part of an agreement with the wholesale produce market 'operators associations to prevent produce supplies from reaching any of the 100 markets being picketed or any others picketed in the future. The grocers complaint said any such action was in restraint of trade and violated anti-trust laws. The Teamsters reported they were adding Ralph's Markets' wholesale facilities to firms being picketed.

Delay in Brings Johnson To Visit Paris-If WASHINGTON (UPI) President Johnson plans, if elected, to fly to Paris in November or December to outline a world peace program to America's European Allies. He would like this to be followed before long by a meeting with Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev if the Communist leader is agreeable. Assuming he defeats Sen. Barry M. Goldwater in the Nov.

3 election, Johnson does not want to dawdle about going overseas on his first presidential mission of personal diplomacy. He feels his present inhibitions about leaving the country while there is no vice president would be dispelled once Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey becomes vice president-elect. The trip to Paris could involve an appearance before either the NATO Parliamentarians' Conference in November or the NATO Council in December.

While in the French capital, Johnson would probably be happy to receive and invitation to meet with President Charles de Gaulle. These views became known as Johnson returned Tuesday night from a trip to Omaha, where he showed America's strategic nuclear nerve center to Manlio Brosio, new secretary general of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Johnson hosted a lunch in Brosio's honor at the White House Tuesday, then took him to the Strategic Air Command command post at Offutt Air Force Base near Omaha. Apart from personal hospitality, the trip was aimed at sharing confidence overseas in America's commitment to the Atlantic alliance, Johnson's voice was husky from the 18-hour political tour he had taken through New England Monday. He made 31 speeches, big and small, in six states that day.

His hands still bore scratches and bruises from the campaignling of two days ago. But the gates of the SAC base were thrown open to civilians to herald Johnson's arrival Tuesday. The President walked along much of the length of a fence at the installation to shake hands with many of the 5,000 persons who turned out. Brosio was the only foreign civilian leader-short of a head of state -to be accorded the privilege of a super-secret briefing like the one he and Johnson were given on SAC's activities and capabilities.

But he was in jail this morning, charged with making a false report.

Owen, 28, of 2686 Anza Trail, was arrested on a warrant this morning when he appeared at the police station to discuss the case with Chief Orest Johnson. Owen called police with his tale of violence at 9:10 p.m., according to the report. He said that he saw a large man standing before the door of his employer, Ralph Stolkin, Routine Check Seen On Smut Chief of Orest Johnson said this morning that plans to investigate smut on Palm Springs newsstands currentply amount to nothing more than checking what is there. The check will be another repeated ones over the years, he said, but has been precipitated by a charge by a Catholic church group that newsstands here have been selling smutty or pornographic literature. Chief Johnson noted that police action in this regard has always been to seek cooperation of newsstand operators in removing such literature.

He remembers only one case and that one "years ago" in which the operator refused to cooperate. That case was not prosecuted. he said. The chief said he had no basis on which to "demand" a list of 25 smutty magazines which. the church group charged, are being sold, and that group has not contacted his office.

Rev. George Yahn, associate pastor of Our Lady of Solitude Catholic Church, has sparked the drive against such literature, and the Women's Guild of the church has been designated its investigative agency. PHONE 325-5005 Adjournment GOP Plot Going WASHINGTON (UPI) day against reluctance of the 88th Congress. Republicans part of a plot to keep them paign. Democrats grumbled plaints mainly at plans to until the House could vote billion Appalachia aid bill.

Speaker John W. McCormack said a decision would be made in the next day or two whether to put off action on the Senatepassed Appalachia bill until next year, But he said final adjournment by this weekend was not possible in any event. Adjournment jitters broke out as House leaders arranged for a 10-day "continuing resolution" to tide over some government functions for which regular appropriations have not yet been made. Rep. Charles A.

Halleck, R- House GOP leader, said in a speech some Republicans saw this and other signs of delay "as part of some sinister plot to keep us on this side of the aisle from going home to campaign." Halleck said he did not subscribe personally to this view. But he complained that the session already had continued "beyond any reasonable time" said members have a right and an obligation to be back in their districts to campaign. House members were grumbling openly at having been called back from campaigning for what originally was billed by leaders as a series of fast votes that could lead to final adjournment on Saturday. Instead they found votes delayed and a test tentatively set for next week on the approved Appalachia bill to provide for public works and other job-building outlays in depressed mountain areas of 11 eastern states. The President's health care plan had been all but officially scuttled by House-Senate conferees considering a Housepassed Social Security increase to which the Senate added hospital and nursing home, But Senate backers health care late Tuesday came up with a whole package of alternative compromise plans which they proposed to offer either in the conference or as an amendment to some other House bill.

As the House marked time Tuesday, the Senate ground through a number of routine actions looking toward prompt adjournment of a Congress that in its two-year life already has kept lawmakers here longer than any since World War II. Harpo Marx Services To Be Held Privately HOLLYWOOD (UPD)-Private cremation was arranged today for Harpo Marx, the silent, harp-playing member of the Marx brothers comedy team.

In remarks prepared for delivery at a rally in Columbus, the Arizona senator said we are losing the Viet Nam war "behind a smoke screen of deceit and deliberate lying by this administration." Speaking in Dayton, Goldwater accused the administration of pursuing a policy of "lie and lie, elect and elect." Before a crowd estimated by police at 15,00 to 18,000 which filled the streets in front of the Montgomery County Court House, Goldwater was interrupted by someone in the gathering yelling, "'We want Johnson." Goldwater answered.

"if you want to have Johnson, you'll have to haul him in here. because he's not coming here of his own accord. I would Tike to have Johnson. too, but he's not willing to debate." The crowd then took up the chant "We want Barry, we want Barry." Raises Job Situation Goldwater accused Labor Secretary Willard Wirtz of misleading the country during the 1962 elections on the unemployment situation. He then turned to his prepared text in which he accused the Johnson administration of (See Goldwater, Page 2) POLICE CHIEF'S ANNUAL REPORT Crime Grows Here, But So Does Population By JOHN HUNTER Crime was "on the increase in almost every major category" in Palm Springs during the fiscal year ending June 3, Chief of Police Orest O.

The man replied, "Stolkin," and when told the home owner was not there, became belligerent. Owen said he anticipated violence and unsnapped his holster strap. Suddenly he was grabbed from the sides by two men he had not known were present, and the first, suspect attacked him with a knife. Owen said he managed to avoid the knife, other than getting two slashes across the face, until he could get his left arm free from the man holding it and parry the slashes.

In doing that, he said, was cut repeatedly on the arm. The men finally fled their fighting captive, he told police, and he drew his revolver and fired three shots, one of which hit the knife-wielder. That man doubled over and stumbled, then went on, Owens said. Police found Owen had two superficial cuts on his face and six inside his left arm. Nothing else checked out.

Not a drop of blood, not a footprint of the fleeing men could be found. Lt. Dick Harries, who conducted the investigation, had almost the entire force on duty scouring the area. He suggested that Owen call the station if anything more developed. At 12:05, his conscience had apparently developed, and he called the station to say it was all a hoax, that he had cut himself with spring knife to substantiate his tale.

Last night's game was one he had planned for some time and finally decided to play, he said. Police relieved him of his revolver and special police card and arrested him this morning. WASHINGTON (UPI) Two Republican senators charged today that the Agriculture Department showered Billie Sol Estes with favoritism that helped him build a fraudulent farm empire. Sens. Karl E.

Mundt, and Carl T. Curtis, said Estes, once regarded as a Texas financial wizard, schemed to manipulate cotton acreage allotments as part of a master farm plan. They called it "fradulent from the start." The Republican senators charged that the Agriculture Department "in many instances. actually a companion to this fraud through the actions, or failure to act, of its officials in high offices." The Mundt Curtis charges were attached to a Senate vestigating committee report on a study of how Estes was able to amass a fortune through farm manipulations. The report was filed with the Senate today.

Conclusions Are Mild The report was signed by all the members including the Republicans. It was mild in its conclusions. It made no mention of political favoritism, found no one guilty of fraud, and did not recommend disciplinary action against anyone. Estes secured the cotton allotments from displaced farmers in Alabama, Georgia, Oklahoma and Texas in 1960-61. The farmers agreed to purchase land from Estes in Reeves and Pecos counties, Tex.

They would then transfer their pooled allotments to this land and lease the land back to (See Estes, Page 2) shown in robbery, felonious saults rose by 45 per cent, burglary house, business and locked vehicles had a 57 per cent increase. He went on to point out that the city was plagued by 63 "cat burglaries" conducted while the victims were sleeping. Check complaints, Johnson noted, dropped from 498 in the previous year, to 396, but sex offenses jumped from 11 to 25, and narcotic and drug offfenses doubled from five. Value of stolen property was set at over $214,000 with 000 recovered. Out of a loss in checks of $53.784, the report said, the department recovered $42.153.

Chief Johnson pointed at the increase in the accident rate as "a sure sign of rising tion." Recorded accidents rose 38 per cent from 354 to 489 and resulted in 180 personal injuries and eight fatalities. The drinking driver was the object of increased attention during the year, and the stricter enforcement policy raised the three sons. Survivors included the sons, William, Alexander and James; a daughter, Minnie; and his brothers, Groucho, Zeppo and Gummo. Another brother, Chico, died three years ago. Harpo, who had been retired in recent years except for occasional concert appearances, entered the hospital last Saturday and was operated on Monday morning for an aneurism, an abnormal dilation of a blood vessel.
