SYRACUSE, N. Y, April II
(AP). - An unusually large
number of balformed babies
are being born in parts of up
state New York where radio
active rock is exposed in
quantity, a State Health De-
partment official said today.
DR.. John Gentry of Syracuse,
regional health director for the
department. pinpointed areas
in the northwestern and south

dacks, in counties across the
southern section and in parts
of three counties in the Hudson

DR.. Gentry'S findings were in
an interview published in the
Syracuse Herald-Journal.
DR.. Herman E. Hilleboe,
State health commissioner, was
quoted as saying DR.. Gentry's
report was "a brilliant piece Of
medical detective work"
However, both DR.. Gentry
and DR.. Hilleboe emphasized
that DR.. Gentry's finings are

from aircraft carriers, which
also have strategic warfare

Mr.. McElroy also told his
press conference the United
States can fly planes into Ber-
lin at any altitude it wants.
He told queStioners, There
is no agreement with respect to
the air corridor to Berlin that
places any limitation on alti-
tude."
He said there was no need
for a Horsepower discussion on
procedure for use of this air
corridor, since flights into Ber-
lin normally were under Joint
control, based upon weather,
safety and other common sense
factors.

eNeither statutes nor court

Pope told the subcommittee.
He said secrecy is frequently
used to "cover up incompetent

to guard the security of the

INTERPRETIVE REPORT

poftunities to confer privately
with the visiting Cuban revolu-
tionary leader.
One high-ranking official
who talked at length with Mr..
Castro said no mention was
made of financial assistance
but the Prime Minister is
obviously concerned by Cuba's
economic difficulties and hopes
to stimulate the sale Of such
products as sugar.
Before leaving Havana, Mr..
Castro was quoted as saying
he hoped. during the visit here,
to arrange for an increase in
the Cuban sugar quota. But
this cannot be done because
quotas are fixed by law and no
changes could be made except
by action Of Congress.
Economy DeteriOrating
The Cuban economy has
been deteriorating badly for
several years, due in large part
to q decline in sugar prices.
Another factor was the heavy
expenditure of the Batista re-
gime for arms.
Since Mr.. Castro overthrow
the Batista dictatorship on
January /, the downward trend
has continued. Tourism has
fallen off sharply and investors
worried about the political and
economic uncertainties have
withdrawn large sums Of money.

Senate oeDate on union re-

today with everyone waiting
for Senator Mcclellan to make

which is supported by the ALL
CLIO, maintain they have the
votes to defeat major amend
ments.
Several Factions
For one thing, the tough
bill wing is divided by faction
aliSm. Each of several groups
has its own pet ideas. Senator
Mcclellan may represent the
only real hope for rallying OPP
ponents of the Kennedy Erwin
bill behind one banner.
Last year he back up Senator
Kennedy. Democrat Of Massa-
chusetts, on a bill very similar
to this years Kennedy Erwin
measure. While calling the bill
only a partial answer to the
racketeering problem, Senator
Mcclellan said it had the best
prospects for enactment in the
political climate then prevail
ing.
But this year Senator Nc
Clellan has refused to collabo-
rate with Senator Kennedy and
plans to push for at least some
major parts Of his reform pro-
gram. He has not yet dis
closed which of his many Ero-
posals he will offer as floor
amendments.
FavOrs Bill Of Rights
Among other things, he pro-
poses to write a detailed bill
of rights" for union members
into law, with the aim Of pre-
venting exploitation by corrupt
labor leaders. These standards
would govern union elections,
expenditures, discipline and
other internal affairs. Unions
violating the code would lose
their tax immunity and would
be denied use Of Federal labor
relations machinery.
Floor debate this week has
been desultory. Voting will not
start until next Tuesday, when
the Senate is expected to reject
a proposal to delete from the
bill a series of Taft Hartley Act
amendments - demanded by
the AFL-CIO - which are not
directly pertinent to the cor
ruption issue.
Senator Erwin, Democrat of
North Carolina, has proposed
elimination of these Taft
Hartley amendments although
he is a co-sponsor of the bill
General revision of the Taft
Hartley Act should be handled
later in separate legislation, he
told the Senate yesterday.
BY limiting the pending bill
to internal union reform, he
commended, the Senate can
avoid opening the gates for a
flood of basic labor law re-
visions. Controversy over
amending Taft-Hartley would
either kill reform legislation or
mangle basic labor law. he

SchoOI-AidB Bill.
Gains in House
By the Associated Press

Democrats on a House Edu-
cation subcommittee yesterday
approved a $4.4 billion pro-
posal to help the States build
schools and pay teachers over
a four-year period.
The bill is far out Of line
from Eisenhower administra-
ton recommendations for a
program to help needy school
districts pay of school con-
struction bonds. The potential
cost of the administration plan
is estimated at 81 billion over
rs years.
However, the Democratic
school laid measure is only at
the beginning Of the legislative
path. Its future is in doubt.
SIS Per Child
BY a Az vote, with the two
subcommittee Republicans vot-
ing no." the education
group recommended Sill billion
a year in grants to the States
on the basis of $25 for each
child of school age. The bill
defines school age as 5 to II
inclusive.
States could use the money
flor classr Dom construction,
teacher salaries or both.
Representative Frelinghuysen,
Republican of New Jersey, call
ing himself a longtime propo-
nent of a reasonable program, F."
told newSmen after the subcom-
mittee session that it is Elm
conceivable that legislation of
this kind can possibly be
enacted" He was particularly
critical of the teacher pay sec
ton of the bill.
Representative TT o m pson,
Democrat of New Jersey, fore
cast that the bill would get the
backing of "all who recognize
the Importance of education in
our national life"
Broader Plan Loses
The subcommittee stopped
short of a much broader plan
pushed by Representative Met
calf, Democrat of Montana.
Mr.. Metcalf's bill called for
grants starting at SIS a child
the first year and going up to
500 in the fourth year and
thereafter, with the program
continuing indefinitely.
Chairman Bailey, Democrat
Of West Virginia, said he would
hesitate to predict the Subcom-
mittee bills chances until he
sees what the full committee
does with it.
