He first balked at the question last Tuesday, the first day he was a witness before the all-star open hearings of the Senate Crime In- vestigation Committee. AND YESTERDAY -- the next to last day-he refused again in just about the same hoarse man- ner, saying: "I refuse to answer on consti- tutional grounds." His attorney was allowed. to argue in a written brief due by Monday that Costello has the right to refuse. If the argument fails, the big-time racketeer faces a contempt citation by the Sen- ate. COSTELLO came back to the hearing after the committee spent most of the day listening to Wil- liam O'Dwyer, former mayor of New York. O'Dwyer admitted knpwing Costello and called the racketeer a sinister influence on ~Tammany Hall. O'Dwyer, in his testimony, added mobster, Joe Adonis to his list of acquaintances around town, but said they met cas- ally only once. Costello seemed more relaxed as he went before the committee for the sixth day in a row. He man-' aged an occasional laugh, in con- trast to his solemn, nervous man- ner last week when he once got up and walked out on the committee. His seemingly naive answers to some questions convulsed the packed hearing room more than once until the standing-room-only crowd was gaveled to silence and warned to be quiet. Costello, enlarging on his influ- ence in Tammany Hall, conceded he knew 14 Tammany leaders. The Democratic Manhattan organiza-I tion is made up of 42 district lead- ers, plus 42 co-leaders. Labor Asks New Defense Poicy Mobilization, Wage Programs' Criticized at Two Union Rallies WASHINGTON-(AP-Leaders of most of the nation's labor un- ions heaped criticism on the mobilization program yesterday, said it was "going on the rocks" and called for a new deal. Local and statewide leaders of the AFL, CIO, machinists, and non-operating railroad unions met at two separate rallies at which the wage stabilization program and many other phases of the govern- ment's defense planning were assailed. THE MEETINGS were called by the United Labor Policy Com- mittee, composed of about 15,000,000 organized workers in nearly all UN Troops Drive Within 8'2 Miles Of 38th Parallel Strong Resistance in Central Korea Encountered; Heavy Fighting Rages U.S. EIGHTH ARMY HEADQUARTERS, KOREA - ( ) -Allied troops are within eight and one-half miles of the 38th parallel, Eighth Army announced today. The forces probed north of Seoul after withdrawing Reds but bumped into stiff rear guard resistance in central Korea. Elements of China's Third Field Army entered the front line to screen the en- - emy retreat. i s+... Martial Law Imposed in Iran Cap'ital I P TEHRAN, Iran-{AP)'--The gov- ernment imposed a curfew on this capital last night and made a show of force with tanks under martial law in a hard-hitting effort to smash a reign of terror by assas- sins. Premier Hussein Ala's new pro- western government acted amid strikes and a flood of unconfirmed reports of new assassinations in the wake of the killing of Premier Gen. Ali Razmara 13 days ago and the wounding of former Education Minister Abdul Zanganeh by an enraged student Monday. ONE RUMOR, which no official could confirm or deny, said Gover- nor General Manouchar Egbal and his police chief had been slain at Tabriz, capital of Azerbaijan pro- vince. That province was ruled by a pro-Soviet separatist government in 1946. A rumor that was officially denied said Mayor Mehdi Nam- dar and Jamal Imami, a member of the lower house of parliament, had been targets of assassination attempts. The new government proclaimed martial law immediately after it had been presented to Shah Mo- hammed Reza Pahlevi at noon. Some cabinet posts still were not filled because prospective members were too terrorized by assassina- tion threats to accept the jobs. except John L.

HOPE FOR PEACE: I Contriutions to WSSF Save Lives, Worker Tells Group "WE ARE CONVINCED the pro- gram is going on the rocks-that it cannot mobilize this country to do the tasks this country faces," Al J. Hayes, head of the machin- ists, said in a speech. "We withdrew from it because the people were being misled into thinking it was just and equit- able." George M. Harrison, head of the? railway clerks and an AFL vice president, said he regarded the program as "hopeless." "IT IS political suicide and just can't work," he declared. "It is socially indefensible and econo- mically impossible. I want a new deal." Harrison said the mobilization program might have to continue for 20 years, and in that time under present policies he said, workers "will certainly be a regi- mented bunch of serfs." Mobilization Director Charles E. Wilson, chief target of the labor attacks, was dt scribed as an agent of big business who regards labor "as a commodity." George Meany, AFL secretary- treasurer, said the order setting up Wilson's office made the former General Electric Corporation chief "more powerful than the Presi- dent." "We've talked to Wilson, but you might as well talk to a stone wall," Meany said. But he added, "This is more than a fight with Wilson; it is also a fight with Congress." He told the local labor leaders: "Your job is to go back and let the people know this is not just a fight over wages either. Works Committee ApprovesProject Members of the, city council's public works committee have given their approval to a $448,795 street improvement project. Outlining the program, Mayor William E. Brown, Jr., said the undertaking will be covered by a special bond issue,which can be paid off in 12 to 15 years. The program wil probably be brought before the council for ap- proval at their next meeting. ,I By DONNA HENDLEMAN Every dollar spent by the World Student Service Fund does the double job of helping to save a life and contributing to the chances for world peace, Wym Price, Grad., told a crowd of Jordan Hall resi- dents last night. Price is one of the student WSSF workers, who in conjunction with the current campus fund drive, are making the rounds of dormitories and houses. They are explaining the work of WSSF to the residents Agreement Reached by, IAU, Author The charges and countercharges levelled by the Inter-Arts Union -nd Robert Rosenberg, author of .''ar Sky" were dismissed yes- terday by both parties and attri- buted to a misunderstanding by all concerned. The agreement over the con- fused issue of IAU's cancellation of "War Sky" from their Arts Fes- See LETTERS page 4 tival was reached after a meeting by both groups Monday night. Rosenberg, in a letter to The; Daily, withdrew his charge that pressure was being placed on IAU by a University group. IAU, also in a letter, withdrew their charge that Rosenberg had acted in bad faith by releasing and showing WSSF or United Na- tions movies. * * * HE ASKED the residents to con- tribute money, sign a pledge or give a pint of blood at the Univer- sity hospital blood bank to aid the Fund, an agency pledged to help destitute students throughout the wor'd. WSSF, initiated in 1937 to help Chinese students carry on their studies, sends funds and supplies everywhere to students who need help in continuing their work.l "The only stipulation is that WSSF be allowed to distribute the funds and goods where the organi- zaion sees the need to exist," Price explained. THE ORGANIZATION tries not merely to dole out charity, he went on, but whenever possible, it institutes self-help projects. Such a project is the textbook mimeograph cooperatives which are operating in several war-torn countries of Asia and Europe. "Instead of sending textbooks, WSSF sent mimeograph ma- chines to the students," he said. "We figured that a text can be made for 25 cents this way." The agency also finances tuber- culksis sanitariums, and provides clothing, food and shelter for pen- niless students. "We won't use social pressures, such as tags, to get anyone to con- tribute." Price emphasized. "We want only to educate the students to the existing need. We hope they wil give because they want to." -u___-1 A------ FOUR SOLOISTS will sing parts from the Beethoven choral sym- phony in which h'e glorifies the! brotherhood of man.

Alderman John S. Dobson said last night, however, that he had talked to the mayor since he an- nounced that he miglt veto the ordinance and doubted t h a t Brown would take any action. "I explained that the council does not feel that it acted in the haste Mayor Brown felt it had, and I believe he agreed." DobsonI said that he would be opposed to any veto action. The mayor has 10 days in which to veto any council action. Mem- bers of the council can override! the veto with a 12 to three vote. The measure was passed 12 to two with one abstention. Alderman Arthur Bromage said he felt a veto would be unfortun- ate. "In view of many requests for the ordinance from local citi- zens, it seems sound to set up a zone recognizing multiple units now. The council has worked months to reach this compromise in the face of many conflicting interests." He noted that League houses have a chance of being included in the scope of the ordinance in the future. The question is now being considered by the council's ordinance committee. to include the Acacia house * * * * HE POINTED OUT that Delta Tau Delta and Deta Kappa Ep- silon fraternities and Delta Zeta sorority had houses across the street which were included. The plight of the Alpha Epsi- Ion Phi women was a little more acute. The sorority had pur- chased land for a new house, but would now be prevented from building it. "We don't know yet what we can do about it," Renee Pregul- man, '51, former president, said. "But we feel it was very unfair the way our request for a special extension of the A-1 zone was handled by the City Council." THE COUNCIL, by a mere voice vote, rejected the AE Phi request, which had been endorsed by prospective neighbors of the sorority. None of the nine fraternities, Acacia, Alpha Epsilon Pi, Delta Sigma Phi, Phi Sigma Delta, Phi Sigma Kappa, Tau Delta Phi, Zeta Beta Tau, Gamma Alpha (grad) and Psi Omega (dental), had any plans for new houses. However, several had planned additions to their pres- ent buildings. Vogt felt that there would be little trouble obtaining the per- mission of the Board of Appeals for work of this sort. ,AEC .Hints A tEniwetok Atom Tests WASHINGTON -() - A new series of atomic bomb blasts is under way at the Eniwetok prov- ing grounds in the Pacific, the Atomic Energy Commission hinted yesterday. It referred to a "test" program of a "major" character and said one aim is to gather information which will help architects design buildingsto stand up better under atomic blasts. * * * THE PROJECT at the remote Pacific atoll has been nicknamed "Operation Greenhouse." . The commission gave no hint as to what type, or types, of atomic weapons were involved. Presumably, though, they would be models substantially improved as compared with those tested in the first series of Eniwetok trials in the spring of 1948. The three bombs tested then were described as "improved" over their prede- cessors. Presumably the tests would involve something differ- ent from the weapons tested re- cently at Las Vegas-that is, dif- ferent in explosive capabilities, or in proposed use. It is even conceivable that a trial explosion of the proposed hydrogen bomb might be attempt- ed, just to see what headway has been made of the full-scale studies which have been underway for more than a year now.

WASHINGTON-The first of 8,000,000 special life insurance dividend checks for World War II veterans will be put in the mail in early April. The Veterans Administration said yesterday that the $685,- 000,000 fund will average out at about $85 apiece.

Ruthven To Decide YP: 1 -P. *A A ..:? THE UNITED Nations offen- sive, reaching within 17 miles of North Korea, ground slowly for- ward toward the answer to a poli- tically explosive question. In central Korea, the road of Hangye, 13 miles south of the border, still was in Communist hands. Hangye is 15 miles southeast of Chunchon, the big Red base eight miles away from the North Korean boundary. Early today a Chinese Red pa- trol clashed briefly with U.S. troops northeast of Seoul and then withdrew. Elsewhere across the western front, U.S. and South Korean patrols probed north of the Han River without contacting the foe. * * * IN THE SAME area, the Allied troops underwent heavy Red artil- lery, mortar and small arms fire yesterday. The Eighth Army said today that ' the 26th Chinese Army Corps of the Third Field Army now is on the front line. The Corps holds positions north of Allied-won Chungpyong reser- voir, some 20 to 30 miles north- east of Seoul. AP correspondent Jim Becker reported . that Chinese Reds manned defense positions in west- ern Korea to the east of the Seoul-Ui ongbuhcorridor. North Koreans were west of it to the Yellow Sea. Uijongbu is 12 miles north of Seoul. Allied troops in central Korea met the stiffest resistance in days yesterday. Rear guard Reds fought bit- terly northeast of Hongchon, abandoned Red bastion 55 miles east of Seoul. The U.S. Eighth Army estimat- ed 800 casualties were inflicted on the enemy Mondayhthrough ground action alone. That would make approximately 177,000 suf- fered by the Reds through ground action since the Jan. 25 start of the offensive.
