Mobster Valachi Will
Finger Top Racketeers
For Senate Investigation
WASHINGTON (JV-Joseph Va
lachi, the mobster who chose to
talk, was tabbed to be the star
witness in a big-scale new Senate
investigation of syndicated crime.
Sen. John McClellan, D - Ark.,
announced the Justice Department
will make Valachi available to
testify in a public hearing within
the next few weeks.
McClellan said members of his
Senate Investigations subcommit
tee staff already have interviewed
the New York mobster in a secret
hideout where the Justice Depart
ment holds Valachi in protective
custody.
The underworld reportedly has
a standing offer of $100,000 to any
of its assassins who can get to
Valachi and silence him. McClel
lan said he is not disturbed about
this.
The Justice Department has con
firmed that Valachi has become an
informer, and has put the finger
on top mobsters and racketeers in
a coast-to-coast crime syndicate
known as “Cosa Nostra.”
McClellan’s new crime probe
was originally planned to deal
only with interstate and interna
tional narcotics rackets and to
start much later.
Discovery that the subcommit
tee could use Valachi’s testimony,
however. brought a change in
plans. The investigation will cover
wider fields and delve into under
world mysteries the senators say
they otherwise could not have
hoped to plumb.
How much should you pay for
a house? If it costs more than 2 Vi
times your gross annual income,
you’ll probably run into budgetary
trouble.

Six House Republicans
Ask Why U.S. Wastes
Billions on Foreign Aid
WASHINGTON W—Six Repub
lican members of the House For
eign Affairs Committee have fired
a broadside at foreign aid spend
j ing.
They said the United States
should no longer “try to police and
wet-nurse the whole world.”
The six sounded their dissent
Friday from a report by the com
mittee’s majority explaining the
$4.1 billion foreign aid authoriza
tion bill.
The bill, which sets ceilings on
foreign aid spending, will pro
I bably reach the House floor the
week after next and touch off the
usual sharp debate over the pro
gram’s pros and cons.
The six Republicans questioned
I why the United States should con
tinue “to spend billions on foreign
aid when the recipients of our
assistance—the rich and the poor
alike—appear so little concerned
about helping themselves and
helping each other.”

Standing Room
Only at Play
Spoofing Nudism
LAWRENCE, Kan. UP> — “Do we
look as you expected?” asked the
naked woman starkly.
“No, dear mother-in-law, you
far outstrip,” Derek stammered
blushingly.
It’s likely that many of the 500
who saw the play “Barely Pro
; per” Friday night blushed with
i Derek, the leading character.
For most of the invited audi
i ence, it was a rare first look into
the cloistered confines of a nudist
camp. To ease the shock to the
outsiders, the camp residents put
on clothes.
But the play, an outrageously
funny—but not naughty—.spoof on
nudism, pulled no punches.
The nine actors and actresses
were naked.
The American Sunbathing Asso
ciation presented the play to pro
mote good-will. The hour-long
l comedy was written by Charles
Cyprian Cushing, a successful
Broadway playwright in the 20s
and 30s.
Cushing, who had never met a
nudist, throught it would be fun
to write the play. He considered it
unplayable because he saw no
place where it could be presented.
A Southern California nudist
group, the Pacificans, obtained a
copy and has presented it twice—
last year at a convention in Ore
gon and Friday night.
There was more than a stand
ing room audience for the tent
like building and the play had to
be presented twice to accomodate
everybody. Afterward playgoers
had a chance to mingle with the
actors and residents of the camp.
For those whose opinions of
nudist might have wavered, one
of Derek’s lines seemed appro
priate:
“What about doing it in de
grees—shirts today, shorts tomor
row.”

Six Navy Airmen
I Successfully Ride Out
Ditching During Storm
? NAPLES, Italy 0P> — Six U S.
» Navy airmen, who had never be
fore ridden out a crash landing,
i ditched their crippled plane in
[ the storm-tossed Bay of Salerno
Friday night with only one engine
i working—and all came out alive.
They were not even injured
when a U. S. Navy ship picked
them up six hours later from a
yellow, inflated rubber lift raft in
, which they had battler! battering
waves for more than six hours.
It was a masterful landing of a
crippled Dakota Cl 17 with a flam
ing motor in seas so bad small
rescue craft were driven back to
the shelter of ports.
Lt. Cmdr. Harold H. Kelly of
Pensacola, Fla., gave the credit to
discipline of his crew and to the
U.S.S. Altair, Navy supply ship
based at Naples
“Not one of the crew' had ever
ditched a plane before,” Kelly said
afterward. “But the discipline
could not have been better. There
was absolutely no panic.”
U.S. and Italian planes searched
for the ditched plane for six
hours until flares from the bob
bing life raft were sighted. Then
the Altair plowed in through the
storm to pick them up.
On the Atlantic side of the Pa
nama Canal, the tide rises and
falls about two feet; on the Pa
cific side, about 20 feet.

Dick Tiger Completely
Overpowers Gene Fullmer
IBADAN, Nigeria <yP» — Middle
weight champion Dick Tiger of
Nigeria successfully defended his
title Saturday against ex - champ
Gene Fullmer when the referee
stopped the uneven contest after
the seventh.
Tiger completely overpowered
the challenger from West Jordan,
Utah, for seven rounds.
Marv Jensen, Fullmer’s mana
ger, told promotor Jack Solomons
to stop the fight at the end of the
seventh.
Fullmer bled from the nose in
the fifth round and from a cut
around the right eye in the sixth.
Tiger pummeled him from corner
to corner from the first bell.
When the fight was stopped
Fullmer’s face was a raw, bloodied
mess.
In addition to the cut near the
right eye, Fullmer had a slice at
Lhe base of his nose. However, he
walked gamely over to congratu
late the champion as the ring was
invaded by a hysterical mob of
cheering Nigerians.
British promoter Jack Solomons
[estimated the crowd at 30,000. The
stadium capacity is 46,000.
