RieseI b|indinq
Laid by Police
ToJohnnyD Dio
Labor Rucketeer
Called Instigotor.
Six Others jailed

NEW YORK, Aug. 90 (P.-
The FBI today held racketeer
Johnny Dio and three other
hoodlums as plotters of the acid
binding of Victor Riesel, labor
columniSt.
Their motive was to intimidate
Mr.. Riesel from testifying on
labor racketering before a Fed
eral grand jury, said United
States Attorney Paul w. Will
liamS.
Mr.. williams said a "punk"-
Abraham TeIvi--was hired for
$500 to hurl the acid and was
slain after demanding $50,O 600
for the job.
when Telvi first was ap-
preached and got the Job to
throw the acid he thought it was
a man named Marshall and
that it was only a husband and
wife job, and worth only $500" /"
Mr.. Williams told newsmen.
when Gondolfo Miranti, one
OF the accused conspirators, I'm
gered Mr.. Riesel, Telvi then
knew who the victim was. He
then went back and asked for
more money.
Just q Punk
"Telvi was just a punk and
some of the co-conspirators
said the job was worth $4,000
and they said Telvi had been
used. Then Telvi sent word back
to Dio, and Dio did give him
more.
"Telvi was originally slated to
get $500 but Johnny Dio sent
him 81 500 in all. but some of it
stuck to the hands of some of
the co-conspirators who were to
deliver the money"
Mr.. Riesel was blinded April 5
when acid was tossed in his face
outside a Broadway restaurant.
Telvi was found shot to death
July % in an east side street.
After the arrests yesterday,
Mr.. Williams said:
Johnny Dio, among others,
was the man who directed, inSti.
gated and arranged the payoff to
Telvi in the acid attack on Vic
tor Riesel. This is in direct rela-
ton to Mr.. Riesel's planned tes-
timony about labor racketeering
before the Federal grand jury"
Intimidation Was Motive
Mr.. Riesel. Al. long a syndi-
Gated newspaper crusader against
criminal elements in labor
unions. has also said the acid
attack was planned to scare him
out of testifying.
The dapper 42-year-old Dio-
whose actual name is John Dio-
guardia-was nabbed at his
home on Point Lookout. Long
Island. N. Y.
Picked up elsewhere were
Thomas Dioguardia, 40, his
brother and an executive in a
cotton goods firm; Domenico
Bando, Al. a Brooklyn baker,
and Charles Tuso, A, a garment
worker. All have long criminal
records.

Suez Plan Merits Aid,
Eisenhower Asserts
u. S. Booking
Stressed by
Executive
BY GARNETT D. HoRNER


President Eisenhower said to-
day the l8-nation program for
international control of the Suez
Canal Ought to rally" support
from all nations that believe in
international justice and con-
ciliation."
He stressed Americas COM
plete support of the program
to assure a peaceful solution of
the Suez crisis in a statement
read to newsmen at the White
House by Secretary of State
Dulles.
The President, back at work
today from a four-day golfing
vacation in California, con-
ferred for nearly two hours with
Mr.. Dulles and Admiral Arthur
w. Radford, chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Mr.. Dulles told reporters they
discussed the shooting down of
an American Navy plane of
Communist China last week as
well as the Suez problem.
Gathering Evidence
The Secretary said this Gov
ernment still is gathering and
evaluating evidence before max
ing any further statement about
the plane incident in which is
crew members were lost. Com
munist China has admitted
shooting down a plane in the
area, but indicated belief it was
q Chinese Nationalist plane.
Mr.. Dulles met newsmen in
the Office of James c. Hagerty,
the Presidents press secretary,
after his conference with Mr..
Eisenhower
Mr.. Hagerty said the President
asked him to publicly express
his appreciation to the Secre-
tary of State for the fine and
wonderful job he did at the Lon
don conference for the United
States and for the peace of the
world"
Mr.. Dulles represented this
country in a meeting of % ma
Itions at London. Eighteen Of
Ithe conferees agreed to the
Western program for interna-
tional control of the Suez Canal,
whose seizure several weeks ago
by Egyptian President Nasser
has raised fears Of a threat to
free movement of ships through
the strategic waterway. Mr..
NasSer agreed yesterday to meet
with a flve-nation committee
designated to present the pro-
gram to him.
Presidents Statement
Mr.: Dulles said the President
had authorized him to issue a
Statement on his behalf. The
Presidents statement, as read by
Mr.. Dulles follows:
| II have just received from Sec
retary Dulles a full report upon
the London Suez Conference.
This supplements the daily mes
Isages which I received from him
while he was in London.
/ 1T is, I think, Of great sig
niflcance that 18 of the % ma
tions assembled in London, the
shipping of which represent over
95 per cent of the traffic through
the Suez Canal, have agreed
upon conditions which in their
opinion are indispensable to give
confidence that this waterway
internationalized by the treaty
of 1888 will be operated so as
dependably to serve its appointed
purpose.
II am glad that President Mas
ser is prepared to meet to discuss
this program.
This program was conceived
in an atmosphere Of friendly
Cancellation and. in my opinion,
ought to rally behind it the sup
port Of all the nations and
peoples that believe in the

Merit Boards
Proposal Hit
Lowton AssuiIs PIun
On U. S. Promotions
By JOSEPH YOUNG

The administration today ex-
pressed its opposition to the
plan that would set up merit
agencies to determine the pro-
motions of Government en-
ployes.
In speech prepared for de-
livery later today before the
convention of the AFL-CIC
American Federation of Govern
ment Employees in the willard
Hotel. Civil Service Commits
sioner Frederick Lawton de-
clared:
"Any proposal that calls for
elimination of wise supervisory
judgment as a factor in pro-
motion systems will result in
inequitable treatment of thou
sands of Federal employees"
The Ages executive coun-
Gil earlier this year indorsed q
merit board promotion system
to determine promotions of Fed
eral employees, declaring that the
present system of allowing Su-
pervisors to be the final judges
Iof promotions has resulted in
personal favoritism and patron
age. The AFGE convention is
expected to indorse its executive
council action.
Legislation Forecast
Legislation to this effect was
introduced in the past Congress
by Chairman Johnston of the
Senate Civil Service Committee
and Senator Johnston told the
convention yesterday that his
group would act favorably on
such bill next year.
Mr.. Lawton disagreed with
such an approach. He told the
AFGE delegates:
"Such a proposal fails to
recognize the fact that some
agencies are operating very fine
promotion systems"
The csc official acknowledged
that considerable improvements
can be made in the promotion
systems in many agencies and
said the commission is now pre-
pairing to make suitable recon-
mendations to agencies to i'm
prove the promotion program.
However, he declared that any
standardized procedure such as
merit promotion boards and
strict reliance on written exams
for promotions would not work
out.

4 More Reported Seized
-Four Egyptians have been Off

and Cairo newspapers reported
today that four more Egyptians

had been seized as a result Of
an alleged confession by Mr..
Swinburn.
The Egyptians have given the
two Embassy secretaries. ]. B.

to leave the country.
The British have denied Egyp-
tian charges that the two re-
layed orders to an alleged spy
ring, but ordered Mr.. Cove and
Mr.. Flux home under protest.
This is in accord with diplomatic
procedure, since Mr.. Flux and
Mr.. Cove have been declared
persona non grata (unwelcome)
by the Egyptians.
The British Embassy said it
tried without success to talk to
Mr.. Swinburn and Mr.. Pittuck.

Assembly Gets
New Assigning
Plan for Pupils
Designed to Block
Stunley's Proposal
To Withhold Funds
BY ALEX r. PRESTON
Star Staff Correspondent

RICHMOND, Aug. ga new
pupil assignment plan was placed
before the General Assembly to-
day as the latest move to head
of Gov. Stanley's program Of
withholding State funds from in
tegrated schools.
1t would give the pupil assign
ment job to boards appointed by
the Governor-as is proposed in
other pending legislation. In
addition. it would provide a two
way appeal system. Appeals could
be made either by parents dis
satisfied with an assignment
given their child, or by parents
of other children in a school who
object to the assignment of a
certain child to that school.
State Senator Charles r. Fen
wick of Arlington, the chief pa
tron, said the bill offers a
legal method of prolonging
segregation and holding in
tegration to an absolute mini
mum. At the same time. the bill
would allow public schools to
continue to operate with State
financial aid.
Hearings Start Tuesday
Gov. Stanley has stated his
program is designed to with
hold State funds from any pri-
mary or secondary system where
even one Negro enters a white
school. There is nothing in his
program, however, to prevent a
locality from operating inte-
grated schools entirely out of
local tax revenues.
There were a number of legis-
lators who expressed the belief
that the administration was not
sure of its strength and. there
fore. was not pushing for a
quick vote at this time.
The Legislature was sched-
uled to recess this afternoon and
return Tuesday when public
hearings will commence in the
hall of the House of Delegates
at 2 pm. (EST).
The presiding officers of both
houses announced the long
weekend recess was called to
give the lawmakers an oppor-
tunity to study all of the vari-
GUS approaches to the school
question. But there we're some
who cited experiences in the
past to argue that the added
time was called so sufficient
votes could be mustered to put
the Governors plan through.
81 Bills Introduced
There we're SO separate pieces
of legislation dealing with school
segregation introduced yesterday.
Two others were introduced the
first day. Monday.
The House and Senate received
duplicate packages of 13 bills,
each carrying out Mr.. Stanley's
funds-withholding plan and in
cooperating some features of the
Gray commission program, in
cluding tuition grants for edu-
eating children in private
schools.
At the same time. each branch
received duplicate sets of IA bills
that carry out the original Gray
commission program. the main
points of which are tuition
grants and pupil assignment.
Arlington Delegate Harrison
Mann introduced a revision of
the Gray assignment plan. 1t
would take the pupil placement
function away from local school
boards and put it in the hands
of local school district assign
ment board whose three men,
bers would be appointed by the
Governor.
State Senator E. o. McCue, jr.,
of Charlottesville offered two
bills. Their effect would be to
have the General Assembly as
sumo direct control of the school
system on the theory that a SOW
ereign State would be protected
