An official Of the Teamsters

acknowledged knowing many
hoodlums and gangsters, today
denied threatening a rival
|Teamster leader two weeks be-
fore the rival was shot to death.
The denial was made by
Bernard CBernie) Adelstein,
secretary-treasurer and busi-
ness manager of Teamster
Local 813 in the Bronx in testi-
mony before the Senate Select
Committee investigating i'm
proper activities in the labor or

Adelstein, a stocky little man
dressed in a conservative gray
suit, with a precise manner Of
speaking, has been accused In
sworn testimony of threaten
ing John Acropolis Of the

other official of the same

Acropolis was shot to death
in 1852 and his murder remains
unsolved.
IT never threatened either

fed.

Doyle's testimony earlier this

ing him and Acropolis two
weeks before the murder that

That's not true" Adelstein
said. II never made that
statement.
Acropolis was killed. accord
ing to evidence produced by
the committee, as the climax
to a dispute between the two
Teamster locals over organic
ing the Westminster Carting
Co., a garbage collecting firm
in which Nick Ratenni was an
officer. Ratenni was described
by Mr.. Kennedy as "a notori-
Gus mobster."
According to the committee,
gangsters with connections with
the sinister underworld Malta
Society have obtained a
stranglehold on a $50 million
year garbage collection in
dustry in the New York area.

to the committee by Adelstein

The Assembly adjourned after
final speeches had been cam

included one to meet again next

The refusal to attend came
as the French press stepped up
sharp criticism of the Anglo

AUGUSTA. Ca. Nov. To-
President Eisenhower today
summoned Defense Secretary
McElroy and Assistant Secre-
tary wilfred J. Mcneil to his
vacation headquarters here
Tuesday for another discussion
of the defense budget for the
next fiscal year.
White House Press Secretary
James c. Hagerty said this
would be q continuation of dis
|cussions that have been going
on at the White House in re-
cent weeks. He forecast still
further conferences before the
administrations final estimate
of defense spending is set.
Mr.. Eisenhower warned the
Nation in a television-r
address from Oklahoma City
Wednesday night that a speed
up missile development in the
face Of Russia's satellites and
missiles challenge would mean
a very considerable increase in
defense spending.
Speculation on Increase
Pentagon officials have indi.
Gated since then that the in
crease for the 1859 fiscal year
may not run over between 81
and 50 billion.
Mr.. Hagerty was asked II
such an increase was what the
President had in mind when
he spoke of a very consider
able" rise in defense spending.
He refused to speculate or at
tempt to define the Presidents
meaning.
Mr.. Eisenhower, who few
here yesterday for a brief golf
ing vacation, plans to return
to Washington hate Thursday,
Mr.. Hagerty said. \
The President scheduled q
meeting of his Cabinet at the
White House for $3.50 am. next
Friday, followed by a National
Security Council meeting at
$3.50 pm. Friday. The council
normally meets on Thursdays.
Rain Interrupts Golf
Pouring rain this morning
put a damper on the Presidents
hopes of playing 10 holes Of
golf today. He played 16 holes
yesterday afternoon, getting
out on the Augusta National
Golf Club course as soon as he
arrived and playing until about
dark.
Mr.. Hagerty said the Presi-
dent was in his Office above
the golf professionals shop at
the Augusta National at 7:45
am. today. Besides arranging
the Tuesday conference with
Mr.. McElroy and Mr.. Mcneil.
he talked by telephone with
Secretary of State Dulles in
Washington.
Among other things, the
Eisenhower-Dulles talk involved
the NATO crisis arising from
French protests against Ameri-
can and British shipment Of
arms to Tunisia, Mr.. Hagerty
said. He gave no details.
