Workers (AFL). The Commit
tee hopes he will be able to ex-
plain how he happened to bring
Dio into the JAW seven years
ago.
Dio, now in New York City
prison awaiting sentence for
conspiracy, suddenly became a
union leader in 1850. -Four
years later, $4,000 in union
funds were given him as an
inducement to resign.
To Query Quitting Price
Senators also will question
Doria about the high price he
asked to quit his own post with
the JAW. According to Earl
Heaton. retiring president OF
the Allied Industrial Workers
formerly UAW), Doria re-
quested $4,000 to resign from
the union last February, after
the AFL-CIO Ethical Prac-
tees Committee indicated the
union would be expelled from
the federation unless Doria got
out.
Mr.. Heaton told the Com
mittee that the executive board
of the union made an arrange
ment with Doria to give him
$4,000 to cover his unexpired
term. But on his return to New
York, Doria changed his mind
and announced his intention
of suing the AFL-CIO for "de-
famation of character"
Settled for $4,000
To avoid further "harrass-
ment and publicity" Mr.
Heaton said. the matter was
Settled out of court" for $780,
600. Doria was at once given
$25 900 in cash and a Cadillac
car, and two promissory notes
amounting to SIS, 900. He is at
present suing the union for the
$4,000.
Mr.. Heaton also acknowl-
edged that he had decided to
give Doria's friend, Johnny Die
$4,000 on the occasion of his
retirement as a union official
Dio told Mr.. Heaton that he
had invested the sum of $16.-
900 in New York locals, and
demanded reimbursement as
part of his price of his resigna-
ton.
Mr.. Heaton admitted he had
never seen any vouchers for the
$4,000. but had been assured
by Doria that they were all in
order.
That's pretty reckless as
sumption" said Chairman Nc
Clellan.
Committee Counsel Robert F.
Kennedy said investigators had
found l72 vouchers from Die
which totaled only $5,138, and
that there was no proof they
were authentic.

Senator Mcclellan suggested
that the payment made by
Heaton represented "a mild
form of extortion."

|ArrnyContracts
With SoapFirn
Total Millions
BY JOHN A. GILES

The Army has $12.5 million
Of arsenal-operating contracts
with Proctor and Gamble,
whose $685., 000-a-year presi-
dent, Neil H.McElroy, has been
nominated by President Eisen-
hover to be Secretary of De-
tense.
Army officials last night
made known the value of the
contracts-four in number-in
the fiscal year which ended June
80, after at first refusing
the information, requested by
The Star "a hours earlier, and
after the data had been OBJ
tanned from other sources.
The contracts cover the as
sembling. loading and reno
waiting Of artillery ammunition
at the Milan tTenn.) arsenal.
The company's fee, or profit,
from the contracts was said to
have amounted to around $780,
900.
May Plan to Keep Stock
The question of the soap
firms Government business
arises from a possible conflict
OF interests" on the part Of Mr..
McElroy and the fact that he
repeatedly plans to retain his
10000 shares Of P. and G. stock,
worth around 100000.
The Senate Armed Services
Committee laid down a prece-
dent four-and-a-half years ago
when 1t required Secretary of
Defense Wilson to dispose of
more than SIS million worth
Of General Motors stock be-
cause Of the conflict of inter-
estS law.
The committee probably will
call Mr.. McElroy, who has had
a dramatic rise with his COM
pany over a comparatively
short period Of years, for a
hearing late next week. The
52-year-old industrialist is ex-
pected to be in the Pentagon
Tuesday or Wednesday for
more bref1ngs on the far-flung
military establishment.
Project Began in War
The soap firm first went into
the ammunition field under
management con acts in
World War II. 1t also had
similar contracts during the
Korean War. The value Of the
contracts then. was far in ex-
cess of the $12.5 million.
About 1000 workers are en-
ployed at Milan and only a
part is used for the artillery
ammunition.
The rest Of the arsenal is on
q standby basis, ready to be
put into operation in event of
an emergency.
Mr.. McElroy has been quoted
as saying P. and G. does very
little business with the Govern
ment compared with GIN and
other corporations dealing in
defense orders. c I'm mittee
Chairman Russell, Democrat of
Georgia, said there should be
no difficulty about conflict of
interests" but that there would
be a hearing to satisfy the
committee and the Senate on
the point.
Will Sell Other Stock
The nominee has agreed. in
informal meetings with Sem
ators. to dispose of 600 shares
Of General Electric, worth $40,-
275, and 200 shares Of Chrysler
Corp. worth $l5.425, and re-
sign from the board of direc-
tors Of each company.
P. and G. also sells the mill
tary services considerable
quantities of soap powders and
detergents. but the exact total
Of this buying is difficult to de-
termine since most of it is done
locally.
However. the Army Quarter
master Corps reported it bought
$22.478 worth of p. and G.

petitive bid basis. Similarly.
the Navy bought $4,000 worth

Ministers Urged

There is an old song entitled,

Important Notice: Before you start
reading the seven schemes below. please be
advised that the Editors of THIS WEEK are
firmly opposed to gambling in any form.
Therefore, we request our readers to bet
only stage money when trying any Of the
schemes out on friends. This is the only
honorable thing to do = and besides, if you
use real money you might run up against
somebody who knows the trick!
Instructions for winning the following bets
are on Page 10.
1. a real mean one! Announce to friend
that you bet him 81 that you'll give him 81
if he'll give you s.. Even preacher would
be tempted to take this bet : but even he
would lose.
z. Little earpenteT': Next time you visit
a friend who has big picture window, bet
him 81 you could redesign the window so
that it would be exactly half as big, without
altering the height or width of it.
8. High Flyer: Pick out any friend who is
not professional eeographer and bet him
than an airplane can reach any city on the
earth by flying due south from a certain
point.
4. '1SseepeE": Whenever the conversation
Iags at party, try telling this story: AN
expert skier dreamed that he was on skiing
tour of the Alps with his mother and his
wife. By bad luck they ran into blizzard,
and to make matters worse, the wife ran on
a rock and completely demolished her skis.
The young man realized that one of the
three would have to be left to freeze in the
mountains if the other two were to ski to
safety.
He would gladly have volunteered to
freeze, except that his mother and his wife
could not possibly ski down the mountain

without his expert help. The problem: he
must leave either his mother or his wife to
her DEATH"
After you have told this sad story, and
there is not dry eye among your listeners,
offer to bet anyone that you could give the
skier Two short words of advice that would
solve his problem completely. Somebody's
bound to take you up.
5. Stranger than Hetion: Next time some
one asks you if you've read any good books
lately, tell him no, but you will bet him ST
he can pick out any book of fiction in the
house and you will guess whether the first
chapter starts on an even-numbered page or
an odd-numbered page, provided only that
he tells you the name of the publisher. You
do not require to know even the title, and
the book can be new or old.
Most people find it very hard to resist
such bet - you might even catch book
publisher on it!
s. Happy hunting: Some day when you
are out walking in the woods with friend,
bet him you can do this: You will hammer
a nail in any given tree six feet from the
ground. You will then hang up your hat
and walk so feet from the tree in a straight
line and, without turning around or using
mirror or other rejecting object, you will
aim a gun and fire bullet into the hat.
I. Topper hat: If your friend hesitateS to
take that bet, make him an even better
proposition: you will hammer a nail into
a tree bIindfolded on a moonleSs night,
hang up your hat, allow your friend to lead
you 50 feet away and still shoot bullet
through your hat.
P.S.: If you think friendship can stand
the strain, for this trick borrow your
friends hat. For answers, see page Is
