Labor Protection Disclosed By S. HOFFMAN WASHINGTON (AP) Senate Investigators were told Wednesday that three. New York newspapers paid thousands of dollars in tribute to assure that labor troubles would not block delivery of some of their Sunday supplements from a commercial printing Executives of the New York Times and the New York Mirror told Senate rackets prob- ers their newspapers made payments to assure 'delivery pf Sun-, day supplements from a. commercial printing plant in New Jersey during a truckers strike 1 in 1048. Both said they would not author- he such payments now in similar circumstances.

Officials ot the commercial firm, Neo Gravure Printing Wcc- hawkcn, N.J., said they paid convicted labor extortionist Harold Gross $1,000 a year between 1952 and 1958 for seeing to it that jurisdiclional labor disputes didn't prevent delivery of Hie American Weekly supplement to the New York Journal-American. They said General Fund May Have More Money Than Expected DENVER (AP) Colorado may have 1V4 million dollars more for Its general fund than slate officials previously had estimated by the end of the next fiscal year on June 30, 1060. This will come from a "spillover" of funds beyond those needed to meet old age pension payments. The estimate of (he surplus was based' on two assumptions: That the' State Welfare' Board not raise the basic pension payment above the present $105 per month, and that the Legislature will not materially change the pension system during its 1960 session. The extra 1V4 millions may go Into the state's construction fund to be put with 2V4 million.dollars set aside for this purpose by the Legislature at this year's session.

Guy R. Juslis, slate welfare director, said number of persons on pension pools and the av erage payment have been dropping steadily since the revised federal social security law became ef dive Feb. 1. The number of pensioners declined by 420 in 3 months, to a total of 53,671 on April 30. The average payment in -April was $83.78, compared to $85.19 in January.

the cost of this was passed on to the American Weekly. Witnesses told the committee a total $45,750 was paid to Gross and Cornelius Noonan, a New York longshoremen's union chief, to clear the way for deliveries to the Times and the Mirror on five nights in September 1948. Amory H. Bradford, vice president 1 and business manager of the said h.is paper stood to lose heavily, if the of Sunday supplements had not gone through.

Bradford and'Kelly were called afler officials of Neo Gravure testified their firm paid Gross and his relatives nearly $260,000 over 14 years lo shield it from labor troubles. The committee was told other payments to Noonan brought the over-all total lo $307,136.80. Neo Gravure prints Sunday supplements for the New York Journal-American, the Mirror, the S'cw York Herald Tribune and the Boslon Herald. It used print cer- lain Sunday sections for the Times, but the Times switched to another printing firm in 1949. In addition 16 printing newspaper supplements, Neo Gravure prints magazines and business forms as well as doing lithography work.

William llillbrant, Neo Gra- vurc's treasurer, swore he paid a tolal of $45,150 to Gross and Noonan to arrange deliveries of supplements to the New York Times and the Mirror during a 194S truck strike called by the Teamslcrs. Neo Gravure executives said the entire cost was billed lo the two newspapers. about Gross came as the special Senate committee pressed ahead wilh its inquiry into the Newspaper and Mail Deliverers Union of New York and vicinity. This is an independent organization numbering about drivers. Before the Neo Gravure officials took lite stand, 12 officials of that union refused, on Fifth Amendment grounds, lo say whether they had accepted payoffs from wholesale newspaper distributors lo avoid labor difficulties.

However, John J. McQuade of the Bronx, a member of the union's executive board, denied receiving any payoffs. He said he knows of none to any union officials.
