Bonsai delivered the State Department third in less than three acting Foreign Minister Marcelo Fernandez. The protest is expected to provoke a strong reaction from Cuban Prime Minister Fidel Castro and his supporters. Castro has said previously that what happens in Cuba is a domestic matter not subject to outside interference. No Authorization The U.S. Embassy did not release the text of the note but a press statement said it involved the seizure and occupation of land and buildings of U.S.

Symington also said Presides Eisenhower should initiate regu lar discussions between management and labor before his term ends. The Missouri senator, along with Rep. Jack B. Brooks (D-Tex), spoke before the conference oi AFL-CIO delegates from Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, New Mexico, Arkansas and Louisiana and then answered questions from the floor.

State Contacts Delegations from the states will call on congressional members Tuesday to discuss the organization's legislative program. Symington said the present minimum wage of Sl-an-hour may have been sufficient in 1940 but it is not enough now. President Eisenhower, in his state of the union message last week, advocated regular discussions between management and labor away from the bargaining table, the senator said. Symington said he himself first proposed such a plan last March in a speech at Clarksburg, W. Va.

Kenneth Peterson, legislative director of the International Union of Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers, described Symington as "never having dodged an issue" and as one of the few senators "who has a 100 per cent voting Soviet Bloc Inferred Adenauer Says Hate Actions Useful to Foes of Germany BONN, Germany (AP) Chan- as his government' in Bonn re-; cellor Konrad Adenauer declared ceived a note from Israel express-1 Monday that West Germany's anti-ling deep shock at the upsurge of jproperty values'and BOARD BACKS REZONINGFOR HOUSING UNITS The Jefferson City Planning and Zoning Commission Monday night voted to recommend rezoning of the Parkview Subdivision to permit construction of low-rent housing facilities. The zoning change would allow construction of multiple dwellings in the area now restricted to single family units. Up to Council In announcing the decision, E. C. L.

Wagner, commission chairman, said the recommendation will be presented to the City Council prior to its next session, scheduled next Monday night, but declined further comment on the action.

James T. Blair to replace Judge Nick T. Cave, retiring March 9 at the mandatory retirement age of 75. Judge Frank Rollings worth, chief justice of the Missouri Supreme Court and chairman of the Judicial Commission, said it would welcome submission of endorsements of possible nominees.

In an obvious reference to the Soviet bloc, Adenauer told a TV hookup of all West German stations: "One must clearly understand that such incidents will be utilized by the enemies of as you know, Germany still has very many will say that the Germans are the same as they used to be." Criminals and Fools In Hamburg, Foreign Minister Heinrich von Brentano called for the entire German nation to rise against the "criminals and fools" responsible for the outbreak of anti-Semitism. Those who paint swastikas and anti Jewish slogans should be thrown into prisons or locked up in lunatic asylums, he told a meeting of the Hamburg Overseas Club. But Adenauer's political opponents in West Germany also were demanding that ex Nazis be cleared out of the West German government. In London, Richard Grossman and Fenner Brockway, two Laborite members of Parliament, said they had received letters threatening their lives from an underground Fascist organization, the People's Liberation Army, Accusations Grossman said he was accused of being "an innocent lackey of the Jews." Brockway said he was warned he would be liquidated unless he ceased "treasonable pro- Jewish activities at once." Israel's note to Bonn was coupled with an appeal -through the United Nations for action to stop anti-Jewish incidents in the world "lest they result in disaster." further construction in those areas. During a public hearing Friday, a petition signed by more than 400 (persons protesting the rezoning proposal was presented.

A local housing authority official contacted Monday night said he was pleased with the planning board's decision but pointed out "The final responsibility lies with the city council." He said the housing authority will be represented when the matter comes before the council again on Monday. 50 Structures If final council approval is given, about 50 two-family and four-family structures will be constructed in the Parkview area.

Main street to permit construction of multiple dwellings. ROCKET TEST PROTEST TO SOVIET NOT LIKELY Conference Keynote Meany Lauds Kennedy, Raps Nixon Labor Role WASHINGTON Meany, president of the AFL-CIO, praised Sen. John F. Kennedy (D-Mass) and slapped at Vice President Richard M.

Nixon Monday for their roles in labor legislation passed last year. Kennedy is a front-runner for the Democratic presidential nom- nation and Nixon is generally regarded as a shoo-in for the Repub- ican nomination. Meany's kind words for Kennedy in a speech keynoting an AFL-CIO egislative conference obviously was an answer to criticism of the enator for his vote in favor of the 1959 Labor-Management Act. Several labor union leaders, including Teamsters President 'ames R. Hoffa, have assailed Kennedy in bitter terms for supporting this measure which passed COURT ACCEPTS INVOLUNTARY CONFESSION PLEA WASHINGTON (AP) The Supreme Court told the states Monday it will not permit criminal convictions to stand if they result from confessions that the court concludes are involuntary.

The State Highway Patrol said Deverney, traveling east on Highway 66, swerved to miss the animal, crossed the island into the westbound lane, went across the highway and struck a rock wall and overturned. He suffered severe head injuries. Damage to the auto was estimated at 5900, 'MURDER KIT' ITEMS STUDIED LOS ANGELES (AP) Dr. R. Bernard Finch's so-called "murder kit" did indeed have a potential of death, bis counsel admitted Monday.

But. Atty. Grant B. Cooper added, it is more reasonable to assume that its contents were intended for perfectly innocent uses. He got a leading prosecution witness at the wealthy surgeon's murder trial to agree.

Dr. Finch, 42, and his shapely mistress, Carole Tregoff, 23, are accused of slaying the doctor's socialite wife, Barbara, 36, at the Finch estate in suburban West Covina the night of July 18. Much has been made at the trial, whch began its fourth week Monday, of the murder kit so-called by the prosecution actually a brown leather attache case. Found near the death scene, it contained bullets, a butcher knife, rope, sleeping potions, hypodermics and bandages. The state contends the doctor planned to use some of the items to kill his wife and make it look like an accident.

His attorney spent the morning cross-examining Dr. Gerald K. Ridge, who performed the autopsy on Mrs. Finch. After describing the items from the case, Cooper asked Dr.

Ridge: "With respect to all these items a pathologist and as a physician and surgeon would you say the more reasonable uses for these are innocent uses?" "That is correct," replied Ridge.j MANVILLE TAKES ELEVENTH BRIDE NEW YORK (AP) Asbestos heir Tommy Manville married his llth wife Monday. It was his first wedding ceremony in nearly three years and he was so rusty that he knocked his bride's hat off with his wedding kiss. "Do you mind waiting a minute?" Manville was asked by State Supreme Court Justice Harry B. Frank just before the old, familiar ritual got under way. "Oh, no," replied Manville, 65.

"I've been waiting a couple of months." The latest bride was Christina Erdlen, 20, a blue-eyed divorcee from Germany with a 20-month- old daughter. She was working as a waitress when Manville met her near his suburban Chappaqua, N.Y., home. When everything was over, Tommy kissed his bride with such vigor that he knocked her small white hat from her brunette locks. Miss Erdlen was the latest in a line of wives that go back to Follies girl Florence Huber, whom Tommy married in 1911. He has settled better than million dollars on various wives of the past.

Miss Erdlen accepted a block of American Telephone and Telegraph stock in advance of the wedding. Actually, Tommy has gone through 13 marriage ceremonies He remarried two of his wives after their original divorces.

Warren said Blackburn was questioned for eight or nine hours, and that most of the inter- the Senate with only two dissent ing votes. Meany told the unionists that i is on two preliminary roll calls in the Senate "and (on) these the labor movement can accurately rate its friends anc enemies in the Senate on this issue.

1 One of these was on an amendment introduced by Sen. John L. McClellan (D Ark) which was adopted 47-46. And this, Meany said, "was cemented into the bill in a parliamentary maneuver in which Vice President Nixon broke a 44-44 tie and insured the anti- labor character of the bill." Similarly, Meany told his followers to judge House members only on the roll call by which the House passed the original Landrum Griffin bill 229-201. Meany said Kennedy and his liberal Democratic colleagues on the Senate Conference Committee 'worked tirelessly to get rid of some of the more obvious injus- of the Landrum-Griffin bill" and "did make a number of im- Drovements." rogation took place in closely confined quarters with as many as three officers being present at one time.

In other actions, the court: 1. Again denied a hearing to Caryl Chessman, Los Angeles sex bandit scheduled to die Feb. 19 in the gas chamber of San Quentin Prison. Chessman has staved off execution for years through a series of appeals in state and federal courts. 2.

Refused a hearing to Albert Fuller, former deputy sheriff at Phenix City, who is under a life sentence for the 1954 slaying of A. L. Patterson, father of Alabama's present governor, John Patterson. Nominee The elder Patterson was Democratic nominee for attorney general of Alabama when he was shot down outside his office in Phenix City. He had promised to clean up vice-ridden Phenix City if elected.

3. Rejected an appeal by John Kasper from his conviction in Davidson County, on a charge of inciting a riot. Kasper was sentenced to six months and fined S500. The charge was based on speeches he made; in Nashville in the fall of 1957, attacking racial integration in public schools.

MACK'S CREEK GARAGE MAN BEATEN, ROBBED CAMDENTON Camden County Sheriff's deputies Monday were searching for two men who beat up and robbed a Mack's Creek garage attendant after lur- ng him out of town with the story that the battery of their car was dead. Arbry Elliot, about 35, told the sheriff's office and the Highway Patrol that he received a call at ais garage about 11:30 a.m. to Dring a battery for a 1952 Ford to the area of the junction of Rt. with Highway 54. He said one man met him at a Mack's Creek store to show him where to go.

He said that when he arrived at their car, described as brown and tan with a continental spare tire, that one of the men hit him over the head with a revolver. The Highway Patrol report thai Elliott was found near the area about 1:30 p.m. His wrist watch was missing and so was $300. Elliot was taken to the Camdenton Medical Center and then transferred to the Baptist Hospital in Springfield for treatment of a cerebral concussion, multiple lacer- tions of the face, chest injuries and possible bone fractures of the face. His condition was reported as good.

Elliot managed to give the patrol a description of the men. One he U.S. FIRING MISSILES IN TWO OCEANS WASHINGTON United of its own missile and nuclear weapons tests in the Atlantic and Pacific has slight ground to protest Soviet plans to shoot test rockets into the Pacific, two key members of Congress said Monday. U.S. diplomatic officials indicated this government will not protest the Soviet test plans.

These officials, too, noted the United States is using the seas for military and scientific tests. "What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander," said Chairman Overton Brooks (D-La) of the House Space Committee at a news conference. "If rny understanding of the situation is correct, what the Russians propose to do is what we have done," Sen. Francis Case (R- SD) told the Senate. Case is a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee.

Speculation Brooks and Case spoke out amid new speculation over what may be behind the latest Soviet move. There were suggestions the forthcoming Soviet rocket tests in the central Pacific may signal a new gambit in the missile diplomacy the Soviet Union has used before. Some U.S. officials noted the tests are bracketed by the Soviets in the month starting month that will see the signing of a new 10-year security pact be- Lween the United States and Japan, and the start of a visit by Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev Indonesia. Also, any spectacular new space achievements the Soviets may score would be fresh in mind when diplomats begin a series of talks pointed toward the East-West summit conference in May and President Eisenhower's expected visit to the Soviet Union next June.

House Majority Leader John W. McCormack (D-Mass) said he believes the Soviet Union either has a new high energy upper stage rocket or a new first-stage rocket with over a million pounds of "Either development is impor- in the competitive race for space," he said in a statement. The United States is two or three years away from having a good ligh energy stage, McCormack said, and won't have a booster vith a million pounds of thrust four or five years. "We should awaken from the apathy and complacency which reminds me of the days under Hitler before Pearl Harbor," he said. Soviet Ambassador Mikhail Men- shikov visited Eisenhower Monday to deliver an oral goodwill message from Khrushchev.

GREEN, 92 WON'T RUN AGAIN PROVIDENCE, R.I. Sen. Theodore Francis Green aged 92, announced Monday night he will not seek re-election next November. Green, oldest man ever to serve in the Congress, resigned last January as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Commit- je. He gave his failing eyesight and lis hearing for his resignation.

His decision not to run again was made known at a meeting of the Rhode Island Democratic State Committee in a letter to Carter, Jefferson City, vice-president; and Dr. Otto Rieke, Jefferson City, secretary-treasurer.
