'3-Under|ings
Are Sentenced
In Riese| Case

NEW YORK. Dec. 8 P.-
Three underlings in the Victor
RieSel acid-blinding case were
sentenced to prison yesterday by
Ia judge who termed the crime
an attack upon law enforcement
as well as upon the labor writer.
Federal Judge William B.
Herlands sentenced Gonfolfo
(Shiekie) Miranti, 81, and Do
menico (Nick) Bando, Al. to five
years each, and Leo Telvi, 26, to
two years. Miranti also was fined
$4,000.
-Four more defendants are
scheduled to go on trial next
week. They include John John
ny Dio) Dioguardi. accused as
the "mastermind" in a plot to
lntimidate Mr.. Riesel from testi-
flying before a Federal grand
jury investigating racketS.
Accused in Conspiracy
The trio sentenced by Judge
Herlands was accused of conspir-
ing to obStruct justice by helping
Abe Telvi, %, the alleged acid
thrower, flee to a hideout in
Youngstown, Ohio. He later re-
turned to New York and was
slain.
In handing the lighter SEN
tence to Leo Telvi, a brother of
Abe, the judge said Leo Telvi
had not been involved in the acid
plot or attack but had become
involved only later in attempting
to help his brother.
He also directed that Telvi
receive four months credit for
the time he has spent in jail
since his arrest.
Leo had commended he helped
Abe only out of brotherly love.
The judge emphasized, however,
that it was not on this ground
that he received the lighter SEN
tence--that there was not one
law for relatives and another
for nonrelatives of a fugitive.
Called "Mercenaries"
The judge labeled Miranti and
Bando as underworld mercen-
aries" who had participated in
a "barbaric crime"
He described Miranti as a
sergeant" and Bando as q COR
poral" in the alleged plot.
The prosecution contends
"higher ups" contracted with
Miranti TO arrange the attack
and that Miranti in turn hired
Abe Telvi.
The three defendants, con-
victed yesterday by a jury that
deliberated only 88 minutes.

Dulles IsF|Ying
To Paris With
u. 5. Aid Plans
By the Associated Pres.

-~~~~~~-N~@
Secretary of State Dulles flies
to Paris today with the evident
intention of assuring West Eu-
ropean leaders that the United
States will do everything pos
sible to help them surmount
their current financial crisis.
How much help can be given
will depend largely on Congress,
both branches of which are MAX
ing intensive new studies of the
foreign aid concept.
The formal purpose of Mr..
Dulles trip is to attend a meet
ing Of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization Council.
The council rs scheduled to
review the overall allied de-
Tense program against Soviet
might and also to consider ways
|of increasing the cooperation
of the NATO powers on inter-
national political issues.
Harmony Also Sought
An additional major concern
of Mr.. Dulles and other foreign
ministers attending the session
will be to try to restore allied
unity and close working rela-
tionShipS among the United
States, Britain and France. The
unity was shattered by their
disagreement over the British
French attack on Egypt.
Attending the meeting along
with Mr.. Dulles, but travelling
separately. will be Secretary of
Defense Wilson and Secretary
Iof the Treasury Humphrey.
The trip will be Mr.. Dulles
first diplomatic mission since
he underwent a successful can
Ger operation early last month.
Mr.. Dulles is described by as
sociates as feeling it is of the
utmost Importance to rebuild
solidarity of the Western alliance
and restore to oil-Short Europe
the economic strength which is
necessary to provide a sound
basis for military strength.
For this reason he believes it
lis important that the United
States help its European allies
both to solve their economic
problems and to carry the bur-
den of armament which is
their responsibility in the NATO
system.
Conferences Expected
So far there has been no dis
Icussion of the United States aid
problem with congressional lead
IerS, but they probably will be
called into White House con-
Iferences December 81 and jan
uary l. for a review of the prob
lem and administration think
ing about the solution. At pres
|ent the United States is provid-
ing military assistance but no
economic aid to the European
allies.
