Farmers 'To Receive Acreage Payments . WASHINGTON ()-The Agri- culture Department {yesterday an- nounced a $500 million soil bank program .fo 1958 carrying a new regulation designed to tighten curbs on surplus crop production. Under the major acreage re- serve phase of the program, which has been in effect for the 1956 and 1957 ,crops, the depart- ment makes payments to farmers for planting less than their alotted acres of such surplus crops as cotton; wheat, corn, rice and to- bacco. Financial provisions for the program were contained in an Ag- riculture Department appropria- tion bill belatedly passed by Con- gress Thursday. Farmers who agree to retire land from these crops will be re- quired. to limit their total har- vested acreage of all crops. 'Civil Penalties' Those who fail to abide by such agreements would lose payments and be subject to,"civil penalties": equal to half: the payment they otherwise would have earned. The requirement, set up for the first time, is designed to prevent shifting of land from the major surplus crops to other crops - a practice which, if continued, would create other surplusses and add to the total over-supply of farm products, the department said. Under secretary of Agriculture True D. Morse said the new regu- lation should increase the effec- tivenesa of the soil bank plan. The department/ announced that of the half billion dollars provided for the acreage reserve, $178 million will be allotted for payments for retiring wheat land.' Commitments Made Under this year's program, com- mitments were made for wheat' payments totaling $231 million. The amounts to be allotted for other crops will be announced la- ter. To limit shifting of land from, one set of crops to another, the department will set up what it calls a "soil bank base" for parti- cipating farms., HINT 'GANGSTERISM': Probers Accuse Employers, Unions of Collusion WASHINGTON (')-S e n ait e rackets investigators gathered up masses of testimony yesterday that some gangster-ridden New York labor unions are preying on mem- bers and pocketing their dues in corrupt alliances with employers. The starting point was a blanket indictment by young John McNiff of what he said is "collusion bey-Y tween crooked management and crooked unionism" which has im- posed economic slavery on work- ers and threatens to deprive a million of them of "bona-fide un- ion representation." McNiff, a 22-year-old college student with impressive poise, is executive secretary of the Associa- tion of Catholic Trade Unionists. Collusion Cited He .said the organization has seen how coutntless incidents of collusion have destroyed democra- tie unionism and produced racke- 1y Plans Project in Arbor's Mayor, Prof, Sam- J.

Seek Revival OfBusiness_ Organization WASHINGTON (JP)-Legislation reviving the Small Business Ad- ministration and giving it another year's lease on life was hustled through the Senate and House yesterday and sent to President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Technically the Small Business Administration expired at, mid- night July 31 when a bill author- izing its continued existence got' backed up behind the Senate civil rights debate. Since then the agency has been. unable to make loans to small businessmen or transact other af- fairs. In addition to extending the agency for another year, the bill passed yesterday gives Small Busi- ness Administration $75 million i new lending funds, increasing its total to $530 million. The Senate agreed by unani- mous consent to lay aside the civil rights bill for onehour. to dispose of the Small Business Administra- tion extender. The extension bill was passed by unanimous vote... The measure then was sped to' the House, which previously had approved permanent status forj the Small Business Administra- tion. The House accepted the Sen- ate version. In addition to making- loans to help small businessmen, the Small Business Administration helps them share in government con- tracts and administers national disaster programs. teer control of unions, misuse ofI union funds, bribery and extortion.1 McNiff tied together the names, of racketeer Johnny Dio and James R: Hoffa,; the man who is the odds-on choice to become the new president of the huge Team- sters Union. Other witnesses have done that, too, before the special Senate committee digging into un- proper labor-management activi- ties. An.order that Dio be releasedt from jail long enough to testify1 before the committee nextThurs- day was issude in New York by Gleneral Sessions: Judge John A,'. Mullen. Dio is being held without bail pending sentence on his con- viction with two other men in a $30,000 shakedown conspiracy. Paroles Ordered Judge Mullen also ordered the others paroled long enough to an- swer committee subpoenas next week. They are Samuel "Goldstein, president of Local 239, Interna- tionaI Brotherhood of Teamsters, and Max Chester; former finan- cial secretary of Local 405, Retail Clerks International Union. They appeared before Judge Mullen and said they had con- senited to testify before the comn- mittee. McNiff cited details and ex- amples in support of his story to collusion and corruption. The committee filled in more details from testimony of individ- ual workers and employers. Union Experience All had had some experience with -operations of Teamsters or- local unions dominated by Dio. A woman who works in an appli- ance factory and a man who is employed in a pen, plant 'told of strikes= against the unions rather than against the companies. The employes said workers sud- denly were told they were mem- DRAWS CRITICISM: Detroit Council President Balks at Greeting Islams Blow to DETROIT (P)- Refusal of Detroit's council president, Louis C. Miriani to welcome the international convention here of the Fed- eration of Islamic Associations was called "an affront to the entire Moslem world" yesterday by spokesmen for the group. As acting mayor, Miriani had been scheduled to give the wel- coming speech today.' Miriani gave the convention the brushoff because he said he objected to- some of the speakers listed on the program. He did not name any one. One of the speakers is Fayez Sayegh, who as director of the Arab Information Center in New York has been criticized by some Zionist groups. Another who had been scheduled to talk is Dr. Farid Zeineddine, ambassador to the' United States from Syria. Illness in his family forced him to return to Syria and cancel his speech. . In refusing to appear at the convention, Miriani said, "I have no objection to the local Moslem groups but I understand they are bringing in some questionable people from outside, particularly Wash- ington. These people are anti-Eisenhower, anti-foreign aid and anti- American and therefore I will have nothing to do with the meeting." Dr. Garland Evans Hopkins of Washington, D.C.,secretary of the continuing committee on Muslim-Christian cooperation,, who spoke in place -of Miriani, said Miriani's action will be given wide publicity through the Moslem world by communist elements. Judicial Systei bers of a local, that they were herded in without their consent, some of them under threats of being fired if they resisted. They testified that contracts were made without bargaining and brought few or no benefits to the. employes. The employers were all from small firms. Some told of signing up with Dio locals-with no advantages for their employes-to avoid trouble or keep otlter unions from organizing Says Move Makes Bill Ineffective Foes Claim Whil Juries Won't Cot In Negro-Filed ( them at better terms for workers. Several said they paid the work- ers more than the contracts called for-which the committee counsel Robert F. Kennedy termed aclear indication that the contracts were worthless to the workers. One said the organizer for the Dio union made it clear from the start he wanted nothing from the firm except for it to turn over the dues of union members. j"That," said Kennedy, "is the point of today's hearing." WASHINGTON (P) -President Dwight D. Eisenhower yesterday denounced the Senate-voted jury trial amendment in the civil rights bill as a blow.to "our whole judi- cial system." An angrily worded statement, which press secretary James C. Hagerty said the President dic- tated in person, added: "It will also make largely inef- fective the basic purpose of the bill--that of protecting promptly and effectively ever American in his right to vote." Angle Stressed This "ineffective" angle was one of those especially stressed by, opponents of the jury trial amend- ment. They said Southern white juries would not convict in civil rights cases brought by or for Negroes. The said judges alone should handle contempt actions growing out of such cases. Meanwhile, two top Republi- cans in the Senate and House-- Sen. William Knowland of Cali- fornia and Rep. K. B. Keating of New York-said it was unlikely there will be 'an civil rights bill at this session of Congress. Cannot be Combined Their view that the Senate bill cannot 'be combined in any Senate-House conference with the House bill, which carries no pro- vision for 'a jury trial of contempt charges growing out of civil rights cases. Keating, top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, said the House conferees would have to stand firm, in view of the 251- 158 House -vote against guarantee- ing a jury trial. The Senate voted for jury trials, 51-42,. Keating said he hoped that the 51 senators "have not ruined the chances for any -bill, but I am afraid they have." 'Acceptance Unlikely' Knowland said he didn't believe the House would accept the changes made in the Senate, and said he believed the bill would wind up this year in a conference committee. Knowland and Sen. Lyndon Johnson of Texas, the Democratic leader, both said they thought the Senate could complete action on its greatly amended bill within a few days. erAf ebatting down a series of other amendments by voice vote yesterday, the Senate brought the bill to the stage of a final vote by having its third reading. This means no more amendments can be offered. One of the remaining sections of, the bill would provide for a federal commission to investigate the whole field of civil rights and consider allegations of violatiois. EXPANSION SOUGHT: Teamsters May Attempt To Grab Builders Unions WASHINGTON M) - The giant Teamsters Union hinted yester- day it may try to lead the three-million-member Building and Con- struction Trades unions out of the AFL-CIO. The move was seen as the opening gun in a drive by rising Team- sters boss James R. Hoffa to expand his influence in organized labor at the expense of such other AFL-CIO leaders as George Meany and Walter Reuther. While vaguely worder, the Teamsters blast made it clear that the Hoff a-led faction is bent on rallying building trades unions, core of the former AFL, into outright war with the former CIO unions, in which Reuther is the dominant figure. A press release from Teamsters headquarters said, "Teamster delegates have decided to support a move to advise AFL-CIO Presi- dent George Meany that the Building and Construction Trades ISLANDS IN SPACE: Unions in industrial areas do not intend to become 'sacrificial lambs' on the altar of the merged Astronome AFL and CIO." The Teamsters' announcement noted with approval aresolution adopted bythe Detroit Biildin9 and Construction Trades Council -an organization within Hoffa's area of influence-supporting the AFL-CIO merger with the tongue- in-cheek condition that: "We are not prepared to pay the blgi price 'ts.g that the Ui zte }X. mergr pros ur apparenta'row carries. "" Report Cuban Rebel Forces, Prepared, For Clash Against Pro-Batista Army By The Asociate Prs HAVANA, Cuba - Fidel Cas- trol's rebel forces were reported to have come down from their mountain hiedouts yesterday for a clash with the army in the. midst of creepin gresistance in eastern Cuba to President Fulgencio Ba- tista's rule. Cuban army headquarters said a band of the rebels, who have been staging gadfly attacks for months, was encountered near Uberos on the south coast of Oriente Province, and 10 were killed. Several rebels also were cap- tured, the army said, and a large supply of arms hidden in caves were seized. Earlier, it was rumored that the rebel forces had clashed with ar- my forces at Media Luna, about 25 miles south of Manzanillo in Oriente Province. (Oriente is a hotbed of rebel activity.)

After repeated extensions, it was ended only last April. Ambassador Involved The call for a general strike fol- lowed the involvement of the new United States ambassador, Earl E. T.

Cuban government had it that Smith said, "Any form of exces- sive police action is repugnant to me" and had expressed hope the arrested women would be freed. Several Cuban officials declared the ambassador's remarks were "improper.". Informed sources said, however, the Cuban government had no in- tention of asking for Smith's re- call.

By LEWIS COBURN Galaxies were described as islands 'in a sea of nothing" by Martha Hazen, an astronomy graduate student, at the Astronomy department's, visitors' night,= last night. Miss Hazen discussed the structure and evolution of galaxies, illustrating with slides various types of galaxies. She also spoke on the cause of the expanding universe theory.. Modern theories in galactic structure were given a boost, Miss Hazen explained, by a discovery made during World War II. During the war-time blackout of Los Angeles, a Mt. Palomar Observatory astronomer was able to investigate individual stars in the Andromeda galaxy. Red Stars Brightest He found that in the nucleus of the spiral Andromeda galaxy, the brightest stars were red stars, while on the outer "arms" of the galaxy, the brightest stars were blue stars. Red stars, Miss Hazen explained, are older stars, while blue stars are considered more youthful and short-lived. The Mt. Palomar discovery added to the belief that the gas and dust in the arms of spiralgalaxies eventually become stars. galactic evolution is toward the: eliptical galaxy. galactic evoltuion is toward the elipitcal galaxy. M r x" : : i The complaint of the Detroit council, and apparently the Team- sters. under Hoffa, ostensibly is the way Meany is handling the age-old problem of jurisdictional disputes.
