Page A-2 THE HAMMOND TIMES Kennedy Assailed In Britain LONDON (UPD--The influential Daily a joined the London Times Saturday in attacking President Kennedy's leadership. The Telegraph said the United States has no policy to meet the Soviet threat to Berlin. The Daily Telegraph is considered close to Prime Minister Harold Macmillan's conservative party. Government spokesmen, however, diplomatically disassociated themselves from the press sniping, called it ill advised and said it was harmful to friendly Anglo-American relations. THE INDEPENDENT-conservative Telegraph said blunliy Salur day: "The truth at present is tha there is no American policy Berlin, soft or hard." "American dilatoriness in evol' ing a Berlin policy is causing lious delay to inter-allied plan ning," it charged.

The Telegraph article, by il diplomatic correspondent, cam on Che heels of a campaign the London Times reproaching th Kennedy administration for wha it called lack of initiative an leadership on Berlin. THE TELEGRAPH charged tha Britain and France have bee waiting for weeks while Kenned his foreign advisers over "one review after another. "N6thing has so far come out these top level deliberations," commented. It said there was "serious con cern" in London over "the stat of the Washington administrativ machine as seen from Britain."

Leopold, a represenative of the owners said Saturday. Placard-carrying members of the union Friday and Saturday picketed the motel. Signs worn by the members read "On Strike- Hotel and Restaurant Employes." The strike is a fiction, according to Leopold, because none of the employees belong to the union. He charged the union with trying to force its way into the motel. THE GROUP is from Chicago and got several employes to sign membership cards by he said.

Leopold stated that several em- ployes signed membership cards, when a member of the union visited the motel and led the employes to believe that they were giving their names and addresses to an insurance salesman. "The employes did not know they were signing union membership cards and said they will testify to this effect in court, Leopold said. He said also that all employes of the motel are on the job. Pickets came to the motel at 4:30 p. m.

Friday and stayed until 1 a. he said. On Saturday, they made another appearance at 4:30 o'clock. Crown oMtel is the former Lan- Oak Motel. FROM WHITING--John Schach.

SCHERERVILLE A Chicago youth was killed Friday night at the Illiana Speedway on U.S.

30, when his motorcycle hit a guard rail during a test run around the track. Dead on arrival at St. Margaret Hospital was William Raine, 19, whose address is listed as 3648 Hayford St. The accident was witnessed by some 400 spectators in the stands. Harry Molenaar, 826 Eaton.

Hammond, who owns the track, said Raine's vehicle had been misfiring. Just before a race was scheduled to begin, Raine made a practice run. While traveling about 40-miles- an-hour, he reached down to adjust the carburetor. The cycle then failed to negotiate a turn and crashed into a wooden fence about 4H ft. high that encircles the track.

The impact tossed the rider over an inner fence, into an areaway that lies between the guard-rail fence an an outer t'ence. Molenaar said it was Jhe first competitive fatality at the track since it opened in the fall of 1945. In 1953, a man was killed in a sports car, during a private club picnic at tne track. Molenaar said Raine had competed at the track three times previously.

Rides Niagara Falls in 8-Foot Steel Ball (Continued from Page 1) Saturday. The unauthorized ride over the falls started at about 10:50 a. m. police said.

Boya told police the ride had been planned several months ago with Jean Lussier, the only other living survivor of a stunt-ride over the Horseshoe. He said Lussier, who went over the falls 32 years ago in a rubber barrel, aided in the design of the sphere. Boya said the idea stemmed from a now-faded romance with a French girl while he was stationed with the Army in France, in 1947. He said they had talked of marriage and a honeymoon at the famous tourist center. "During our talks, the subjec of daredevils had come up.

Jen years ater, Bobby Leech, an Englishman, made it in a steel barrel. lUssier's feat was acocmplished in 1928. Boya said the steel ball cost lim $5,000 and he had made the irst payment several weeks ago. More About Burns Ditch 'Approval' Criticized (Continued from Page 1) most of the dunelands will be converted from a verdant wilderness to a smokestack jungle, and the beaches of the entire shoreline will be made unfit for human usage." STEWART UDALL, U.S. secretary of interior.

Douglas and others will tour the dunes area on foot July 23. They were invited the council and Lake County mayors, the latter group intent on having the port built in their county. Col. Smedile's office issued a avorable report on the Burns Ditch location last year, but it was returned from Washington for further study. A new report, also expected to back the Burns Ditch site, may come out next month.

Approval by the Array Engineers is needed before Indiana can ask Congress to foot about half the $80 million cost of the project. Fleming immediately denied that the commission intends to make a "smoke-stack jungle" out of the sand dunes. Fleming said: "nothing could be more untrue." HE SAID the Port Commission wants to help form a huge national recreation area east of the proposed site at Burns Ditch in Porter County. "Dustin, Sen. a an others want the Burns Ditch are itself retained in its present natur al state.

"You don't need recreation un less you have people," said Flem ing, explaining construction of th $80 million port is expected bring up to 100,000 new worker in a new industrial boom. "I drove through that area jus this week," he said, "and the are; around Burns Ditch is a virtua wasteland."

Conflicting storiea came Satur day from officials of Local 7-21 of the Oil Chemical and Atomic Workers Union and of the Sinclair Refining plant in East Chicago on a Friday inci dent at the Refinery. A picket captain for the local said a company truck struck him while it was entering the refin ery around 5 p.m.

Sinclair offi cials denied the picket had been struck by the company truck and gave a different version of the incident. Russell Byerly. 49, of 5836 29th Gary, spent Friday nighl in St. Catherine Hospital for treat ment 'of "bruises on his back side and leg." Byerly told East Chicago police he was struck by a pick-up truck driven by Charles Barrix, 5428 Chase Gary, a company foreman, at about 5 p.m. Friday in front of Sinclair's main gate on Indianapolis boulevard.

KENNETH HANES, president of Local 7-210. Oil, Chemical and Atomic Workers, said his investigation revealed that Lee Bunger. assistant plant manager at the refinery, stepped in front ol Byerly to allow room for the truck to pass. "This was a clear violation of Byerly's right to picket peacefully," Hanes charged. He added that Byerly stepped around Bunger, into the path of the truck, which hit him.

forcing i against Bunger. BUNGER TOLD a different story. He said he went to the gate when the driver told him pickets would not allow him to enter the plant, now being picketed for the fourth week. Bunger said he leaned his back against the front of the truck and instructed Barrix to inch forward i a cameraman aimed at the truck. "Byerly then leaned his back a picture of him in this situation, he began yelling that his leg was injured and stared shoving and shouldering me," Bunger stated.

AN EAST CHICAGO police report of the incident showed Byerly at first refused first aid and ambulance service to St. Catherine Hospital. It also showed that 45 minutes after the incident, Byerly reported he was being driven to the hospital by other pickets. The incident occurred on the heels of a similar one reported to East Chicago police at 4 a.m. Thursday in which no one was injured.

Hanes Saturday said there has been no progress reported in the master negotiations between the OCAW and the Sinclair management negotiation team in Kansas City. The union has been striking at all Sinclair plants across the country since the negotiations broke down June 20. L. D. NOKR1S, industrial relations representative for the Sin clair East Chicago refinery, in statement released later, said IB witnessed the incident after eing notified a picket was blocking a company.truck.

"At no time was Byerly struck the truck nor -could he have been injured in any way," Norris isserted. "Bunger was in front of he truck along with Byerly when his alleged incident occurred. Norris also said he had taken a licture of Byerly standing in ront of the truck. He said he in- ormed Byerly that "he was taking the law into his own hands )y picketing illegally." Norris also accused Byerly of against the truck. When he realized we would be able to take riving his shoulder into Bunger uring the incident and moving lim several feet.
