Longshoremen Offer
To Try Officials
With Crime Records
By the Assoeiated Press

NEW YORK, July 29.-The
International Longshoremen's
Association, making a final bid
to escape threatened custer from
the AFL, has offered to estab-
lish a trial procedure for expel-
ling lila officials with criminal
records or gang connections.
The lila also has given assur-
ance that the shape-up system
of hiring, blamed for many
waterfront evils, will be abol-
ished.
Another, lila pledge is that a
code of democratic practices will
be enforced in all locals.
Pledges Made.
A series of pledges was made
yesterday by the lila leadership
in a lengthy reply to a mandate
from the AFL Executive Council
to clean house or face Suspen-
sion at the AF'L convention in
st. Louis September 21.
The plan to throw out corrupt
officers was the high point of
the ILA's reform program. It
provides for ridding the union
of officers who have been con-
victed of major crime. who have
fraternized with racketeers or
who have taken bribes from en-
ployerS.
The AFL demand for an lila
cleanup was based largely on the
New York State Crime Commits
sion's revelations of crime and
racketeering by numerous lila
officials and in the conduct Of
the affairs of some locals.
Joseph P. Ryan, lila president,
is under indictment on charges
of larceny of union funds. Grim
inal charges have been made
against several other lila Of
ficials.
Leaders Hopeful.
Leaders of the lila said they
were confident the new program
would satisfy all the require
ments of the AFL Executive
Council. which will study it at
a meeting in Chicago August 10.
If the council rejects the pro-
posalS. it can recommend that
the AFL convention drop the
LILA or that the lila allow the
parent AFL to name an admin
istrator to run the LAS affairs.
The lila program calls for the
filing of charges by a special
committee against accused or
suspected officers. The charges
then would be turned over to q
trial committee made up, if pos
sible, of public figures of the
highest standing and expert
ence." Recommendations of trial
boards for the disciplining or
custer of union officers would go
to the LAS Executive Council
for final action.

nomic aid to Egypt and an Egyp-
tian pledge that the zone would
be maintained for use by the
United States and it's allies in
case of war or a threat of war.
Under the proposal, the news
paper added, the seven-nation
Arab League would be empow-
cred to decide when a state Of
war or a threat of war existed.
Britain had been reported de-
manding this right previously.
AL Tahrir said the Egyptian
government had replied to the
United States note stating how
far it could go toward meeting
these proposals, but the news
paper gave no details of the
Egyptian answer.
