The Casper Tribune Monday, Jan. 13, 19641 Vending Firm Official Tells Of Paying Baker WASHINGTON (UPI) A former vending machine company officer said today he gave Robert G. (Bobby) Baker a total of $5,600 in cash payments over a period of 17 months for the former Senate official's help in obtaining and keeping a controversial contract. Ralph L. Hill told the Senate Rules Committee the payments were first negotiated at $250 a month and later at $650 a month before Baker told 1 him last year that Hill's company, Capitol Vending would lose the profitable contract at the Melpar, plant in suburban Virginia.

Hill said Baker was "power enough to control the Melpar contract but "I was surprised that he would take it away from me." He said the monthly payments were carried on Capitol's books as operating expenses because "I was trying to protect Mr. Baker as well as myself." The former vending company official said he made the monthly cash payments directly to Baker in the former Senate Democratic Secretary's office at the capitol. Hill said Baker originally sought $1,000 a month when he stopped bv to thank the former senate aide for his help. "We argued back and forth and finally settled for $250." Hill said. The committee is digging into Baker's outside business interests which led to his resignation from his $19,500 a year Senate post last year.

The private payments to Baker were increased to $650 a month after Baker interceded to let Capitol raise prices at Melpar, Hill said, although Baker still asked $1,000 a month. Ex-Convict Is Arraigned In Car Theft BILLINGS, Mont. (UPI) James R. Randall, who gained notoriety in the 1959 Montana State Prison riot, has been arraigned on a grand larceny charge following his arrest near Cody, on a stolen car complaint. Justice E.

E. Collins set a preliminary hearing for Randall on Tuesday. He set bail at $2,500. Randall was accused of stealing the car from a Billings automobile dealer and following his married girl friend and her mother to Wyoming. He was arrested after a high speed chase by Wyoming officers.

The 27-year-old Randall from Columbus, was first sentenced to prison at Deer Lodge in 1958 for forgery and was charged with kidnaping a guard during the riot in which a prison official and two inmates died. He was released last year on parole. Capitol Vending put the spotlight on Baker's outside business interests last September by filing a $300,000 civil damage suit in which Baker was a defendant. It alleged that Capitol paid Baker $5,600 for securing and maintaining a $300,000 vending machine franchise with Melpar which later went to another company. Rockefellers Are Center Of Attraction WASHINGTON (UPD) Few of those in the crowded room thought he could win, but they swarmed around him anyway.

The center of attention was Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller, the governor of New York, who is shaking many hands in many places in his quest for the Republican presidential nomination. With his bride Happy he was a guest of the Republican National Committee Friday night at a reception for GOP menbers of Congress. Both Rockefeller and Sen. Barry M. Goldwater of Arizona, the only announced candidates for the nomination.

were invited to the reception. Goldwater had his own reception earlier in another room in the same hotel. With his foot still in a cast from recent surgery, Goldwater shook hundreds of hands for more than an hour with his wife and Arizona members of the national committee beside him. Then he went to the national committee function, passed through the reception line to grip hands with National Chairman William E. Miller, the host, and left immediately.

Rockefeller, who has been almost counted out since his remarriage last May, came later and stayed more than an hour to greet everyone in sight. "I want" you to meet Mrs. Rockefeller," the governor said again and again to the guests who crowded around him. "Take care of yourself," an older lady told Mrs. Rockefeller, who is expecting a baby in June.

Rockefeller promised that he would support and work for Goldwater or any other nominee should he lose. He said he also would welcome Goldwater's support if he won. "He has a lot of wonderful friends, some of whom I won't comment on," the governor said.

William Henry Harrison, R- today said he would anrounce before Feb. 1 whether he will be a candidate for the Republican nomination to run for U.S. senator.

Louisiana Vote Law Is Invalid WASHINGTON (UPI)- The Supreme Court today struck down as unconstitutional a 1960 Louisiana law requiring that the race of political candidates be listed on ballots in all elections.

Justice Tom C. Clark wrote the opinion for a unanimous court The state had contended that the labeling provision was valid because it applied equally to Negro and white. But Clark said the court views the "equality as superficial." "Race is the factor upon which the statute operates and its involvement promotes the ultimate discrimination which is sufficient to make it invalid," Clark held. A special three-judge federal court in New Orleans had upheld the constitutionality of the law on June 25, 1932, by a 2 to 1 vote. The majority there said the law treated all candidates alike.

The challenge decided today was initiated by Dupuy H. Anderson and Acie J. Belton, Negro candidates for the East Baton Rouge Parish School Board in an election held July 28, 1962. Anderson was defeated on that date and Belton in a later run-off primary the following Sept. 1.

The lower court refused to allow them to file an amended complaint after the election was held. They wanted to assert that they were injured by the law and intended to run again.

ANDREWS United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) Government action against cigarette smoking appeared likely today to center in two fields education and research. There were indications that Congress would be willing to provide more money for such a two-way attack, but there was little likelihood that legislators would try to enact laws to regulate smoking. Such action, based on a government report released Saturday that cigarette smoking is a menace to health, might include giving the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) more power to control cigarette advertising and labeling. Funds might also be appropriated to increase research into the still unknown elements of tobacco that cause the harmful effects. The report said that cigarette smoking is a cause of lung cancer and related to such other deadly diseases as chronic bronchitis, emphysema and coronary artery disease.

It said cigarette smoking contributes substantially to the nation's death rate. Considering Action Surgeon General Luther L. Terry, in making public the study by a 10-member advisory committee of prominent scientists, said the Public Health Service was considering "remedial action." and would recommend specific steps to President Johnson soon. Terry added that he expected other federal agencies and state and municipal government units would consider whatever action they might take after studying the book-length report. George Allen, spokesman for the American Tobacco Institute, supported Terry's call for more research into tobacco hazards.

He said the tobacco industry was ready to cooperate fully in further studies of the danger. Rep. Harold Cooley, proposed immediate construction of a $5 million federal research laboratory in his tobacco-growing state to discover State Hotel Men Meet in Casper Wyoming hotel managers attended their first statewide meeting in recent years at the Gladstone Hotel Sunday, discussing problems of the industry.

NEW YORK (UPI) The worst blizzard in years snarled the life of the nation's largest city today, playing havoc with car, bus, rail and plane portation and threatening coastal areas with angry tides.

More than 10,000 sanitation department employees were mustered to battle the storm which was driven by gale force winds with gusts up to 60 miles an hour. The weatherman described the storm as a "Horizontal snowfall," and it plastered Manhattan's skyscrapers with icy coatings. At. midway the storm had raged unabated for 15 hours. The city's streets were almost bare of traffic vehicular or pedestrian--and arteries leading into the metropolitan area were dotted with stalled cars.

The greatest danger point was reported on Fire Island, off Long Island's south shore, where unusually high tides and waves threatened to break through the barrier reef protecting the beach. A similar storm last year washed away many summer homes and huge hunks of waterfront real estate. Out of town buses pulled into terminals up to three hours late and some trains were running an hour late. Some buses connecting Manhattan with Jersey shore points were unable to get to their shore terminals because of high tides. was to make smoking safer.

To Hold Hearings Sen. Lister Hill, D- planned to meet with Terry to find out if any new legislation is needed and also to hold publie hearings on the subject. Hill, an expert on health legislation, is chairman of the Senate health subcommittee, its parent Labor and Public Welfare Committee and the appropriations subcommittee for the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. Sen. Frank Moss, D-Utah, asked the Labor and Public Welfare Committee to hold hearings soon on his bill to apply the Pure Food and Drug Act to tobacco.

Other senators have suggested that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) require cigarette companies to label packs with a warning of hazardous substances. While no one expected the government report to end cigarette smoking, it was hoped it would encourage many persons to cut down their cigarette consumption, and discourage nonsmokers from picking up the habit.
