(AP) A Teamsters Union official who testified last fall before Senate Rackets investigators was dumped on a hospital lawn today with burns over 85 per cent of his body. Police said the man, Frank Kierdorf, 56, Teamsters business agent in Flint, may have been a victim of a human torch.

Nurses said his partly burned shoes smelled of gasoline when he staggered into St. Joseph Mercy Hospital at I a. rn. today. Twelve hours later his condition was reported very critical.

Kierdorf is the of another Teamsters Union official, Herman Kierdorf, who testified last week at the Senate probe into reported tieups of racketeers and unions in the Detroit laundry business. Frank Kierdorf was so badly burned that identification, finally made through fingerprints, took several hours. Burns had blistered his legs, chest, face and arms. He was clad only in a bathrobe which attendants said had been placed on him after he was burned. His hair was burned off.

A car sped away from the hospital entrance as Kierdorf reeled to the entrance. Kierdorf, delirious and in severe shock, refused to give his identity, saying only Doe of or don't But an Oakland County detective, Donald Francis, said several times he mumbled, no you do it, indicating he may have been set afire deliberately. Both Frank and Herman Kierdorf invoked the Fifth Amendment in their testimony before the Senate committee. Frank took the Fifth Amendment more than 40 times last Nov. 5 as senators sought to link him with George Kamenow, Detroit representative of labor relations consultant Nathan W.

Shefferman. Frank refused to answer questions as to whether he threatened Flint auto dealers with picketing if they failed to hire Kamenow. He also refused to say whether he was given his job as business agent after serving a term for armed robbery. His uncle, Herman, was questioned last week when the committee resumed the Detroit phase of its inquiry. Immediately after his testimony, Herman announced that he bad resigned as business agent for the Teamsters Joint Council No.

43 in Detroit. Herman was described as an aide to Teamsters Union President James R. Hoffa, who is scheduled to be called before the committee Tuesday in Washington. Neither Hoffa nor other Teamsters Union officials could be reached for comment in Detroit on the Kierdorf burning. For High School Building U.S.

Appeals Court Studies Little Rock 7 Federal Judges Due To Eye Postponement Of Racial Integration ST. LOUIS case which could have a direct bearing on the speed of racial integration in Southern public schools went to the seven judges of the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals today. The case is an appeal challenging a 2la-year postponement of integration at Central High School in Little Rock, where eight Negro students finished last term after a tense year of mixed attendance under a federal court- approved plan of gradual integration. Paratroopers were sent to the achool by President Eisenhower to maintain order. The delay, sought by the Little Rock School Board, was granted by Federal Dist.

Judge Harry J. Le rn ley. The National Assn. for the Advancement of Colored People is appealing. The NAACP originally objected to the gradual plan on the grounds it was too slow but now is trying to salvage any sort of immediate integration at Cen- i tral High and keep integration moving in the South.

The appeals court has dealt with the Little Rock situation three times, always ruling in favor of gradual integration. The school board holds that the appeals court must decide whether a school district is responsible for enforcing the district laws. Its brief cites instances of violence which occurred at Central the past school year and declares that tile board should not be forced to go ahead with integration under the handicaps which have been thrust upon Attorneys for the school board said it is not trying to evade the court ordered desegregation but is just seeking an adjustment in its time schedule. The brief is based on three points: I. That community opposition- even though it involves does not furnish sufficient legal grounds for suspending a court- approved plan.

2 The District Court simply does not have the power to suspend, postpone or rescind the decree approved by the Circuit Court of ApjH als. The lower court not only lacks constitutional authority to grant the delay but the delay would set a precedent disastrous to the concept of constitutional government.

Please do not join Keeping Score On The Rainfall U.S. Polishing Proposals for Summit Parley WASHINGTON (AP) The United States rushed work today on Mideast proposals for a United Nations summit conference while awaiting word from Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev as to whether he will attend. A new Khrushchev message to President Eisenhower was ex pectei momentarily after the Soviet return to Moscow Sunday night from a surprise meeting with Chinese Communist leader Mao Tze-tung in Peiping.

His secret trip, announced as he flew home, caught Western officials by surprise. They speculated that his talks with Mao could have a vital effect on summit conference policies from here on. A communique issued by the two Communist chieftains threw little light on the nature of any major decisions reached. While demanding a summit meeting to deal with Middle East problems, it gave no hint as to if either, of two alternatives Khrushchev would accept. One is French Premier de Gaulle's latest proposal for a five- power session outside the United Nations.

The other involves proposals of President Eisenhower and Prime Minister Harold Macmillan for a special session within the 11-nation U.N. Security Council about Aug. 12. U.S. officials commented that the Soviet Red Chinese declaration followed the same tough line Khrushchev has used repeatedly during tile past two weeks.

It demanded immediate withdrawal of United States and British troops from Lebanon and Jordan and accused the Western powers of planning new military moves against spite of the fact that both have now recognized revolutionary government. An administration official said that if a summit meeting is held Eisenhower will make series of concrete and constructive for dealing with the problems of the Middle East. The task of working out these proposals was handed over to a group of State Department policy makers under the chairmanship of G. Frederick Reinhardt, counselor of the department. Secretary of State Dulles left (Continued on Page Two) enjoyed a respite from major anyone.

He said his reception was shooting but the politicians began extremely cordial and friendly MOSCOW (AP) There were growing indications in Moscow today that Soviet Premier Khrushchev will object to Nationalist China's taking part in any U.N. Security Council summit ence on the Middle East. Many Western diplomats here were convinced that Nationalist permanent member of the Security a top subject between Khrusheliev and Chinese Communist chief Mao Tze-tung in their secret talks at Peiping over the weekend. lf there is any objection by the Soviet leader to Nationalist China it may come in his reply to the latest summit letters from the Western Big Three. Khrushchev's reply has been delayed by his trip to Peiping and may be delayed even further by consultations in the Kremlin necessitated by his talks with Mao.

The U. British and French embassies here reported al afternoon that there had been no sign of reply. Some sources raised the possibility that the Kremlin's new line on a summit conference may he voiced first by Arkady Sobolev, delegate to the U.N., in U.N. discussions on the composition, time and place of a summit meeting. These sources pointed out that President letter of Aug.

I did not necessarily call for a reply from Khrushchev, pedestrians in the downtown area bickering over who should represent Lebanon at a summit conference. Twenty-two hundred American soldiers landed in Beirut Sunday and 75 tanks and 226 other vehicles awaited unloading. Most of the new arrivals were men of a tank battalion, plus engineers, radiomen, a medical unit and food inspectors. There were indications that more American troops and equipment were on the way although the Lebanese rebellion has settled into an unasy unofficial truce since the election of Gen. Fuad Shehab as president.

In the only explanation of the U.S. reinforcements, Adm. James L. Holloway, the American commander in the area, said they were part of the total originally ordered to Lebanon last month and had not been diverted. Both Beirut and the northern port of Lebanon, the two chief centers of fighting, were almost completely quiet over the weekend.

Rebel leader Kamal Jumblatt was reported disarming his 2.000- man private army in the mountains southeast of Beirut. But the rebel leaders in Tripoli and Beirut kept up their demands that President Camille Chamoun step down in favor of Shehab immediately and that the U.S. forces withdraw. The Beirut-Tripoli rebels were told to hold their fire but to hang on to their weapons and positions. term does not expire until Sept.

23, and some polit! cians maintained he should represent the government at any summit conference on the Middle East held before then. However, Saeb Salam, the rebel chief in Beirut, and other rebel leaders threatend a renewal of fighting if Chamoun or some delegate of his went to the summit for Lebanon. There were some suggestions that the President designate Shehab as the Lebanese delegate. But the new President is a military man, inexperienced in international politics, and already has his hands full getting ready to take over the government. For that matter departure from the country probably would endanger his precarious hold on the presidency.

Other Middle East developments: Robert Murphy, U.S. deputy undersecretary of state serving as President Middle East conciliator, returned from a 24 hour stay in Baghdad and prepared to leave for Cairo Tuesday to see President Nasser of Hie United Arab Republic. Murphy said he was impressed and that he thought the U.S. recognition of the Iraqi regime, had allayed any suspicion the Baghdad leaders might have had of intentions toward them. Murphy added that he thought Iraqis decided whether to remain it would be some time before the in the Baghdad Pact, of which they are the only Arab member.

Skeleton Found in Mine Said ll Million Years Old Downtown Area Gets Three Shiny New Litter Containers Ohio Idle List Seen Continuing Little Hope It Held For Improvement Soon WASHINGTON (AP) Labor Department experts see little hope of substantia! improvement in the Ohio unemployment situation in the months ahead. About the best they can offer, a survey showed today, is probable job increases in: The automotive industry in particular, Cleveland and Cincinnati.

In general, Ohio areas with substantial unemployment experts say will continue to have it for the next four months.

The skeleton, found after two years of digging, pushes the beginnings of man back to at least ll million years ago, he said. That would mean, he explained, that man descended in the same period as the even before them perhaps from some common ancestor which resembled neither.

The Iavgan Elm School Board has placing the Issue on the ballot. Tentative plans for the new building call for IO academic rooms, a shop building plus a building for auditorium, gymnasium and music rooms. Definite plans have not been drawn.

The new building would be located on 35 acres of land along the Circleviile-Tarlton Road on the Raymond Moats farm about the point where Pickaway, Washington and Saltcreek Twps. join. Not all the $940,000 would go to construction of the new high school. About S80.000 S85.000 would be used for a multi-purpose room and additional classrooms at Washington Twp.

The thinking of the Logan Elm Board of Education is that three separate structures be built, all interconnected with covered and heated hallways. One building would contain IO academic rooms.
