A TeamSterS Union official
from Pittsburgh refused today
to answer charges by the Sen-
ate Rackets Committee that
he sold labor peace to the
Pittsburgh Sun-Telegraph for
500, 200.
Theodore r. Cozza. president
of Local 21l. invoked the Fifth

Sun -Telegraph's delivery truck
drivers.
Pierre Salinger. an investi-
gator for the committee, testi-
fed that the Sun-Telegraph
paid 100000 In salary and
truck rental fees to Mr.. Cozza
between January. 1850. and
last May. In addition. Mr..
Salinger told the committee,
Mr.. Cozza received $68,o56 in
salary and expenses from the
union during the 91a years.
Paid in Fear
William Pooh, business man.
ager of the Sun Telegraph,
testified that Mr.. Cozza did
very little" work as a truck
driver for the newspaper. Mr..
Pooh said the payments were
made "for fear Of disturbing
our labor relations"
He said the Sun-Telegraph
fired Mr.. Cozza in May on
charges he had threatened an
efficiency expert and disarmed
Pinkerton guards hired to pro-
tect the efficiency expert.
Mr.. Cozza later was REIN

Mr.. Salinger said Mr.. Cozza
continued receiving pay from

trying to organize newspaper
drivers. On one of these trips,
Mr.. Salinger said, Mr.. CoZza
tried to organize The Washing
ton Star drivers and those on
Baltimore newspapers.
$4,000 Salary
The committee called several
other Teamster officials to the
stand and charged them with
forcing coin-machine operators

Hint Veto Of
Health Bill
81 Billion Measure
Reverses Trend
Of Budget Cutting

Senate Republicans today
warned President Eisenhower
might veto a 81 billion health
education welfare labor bill
passed late yesterday by the
Senate.
The bill broke through the
Presidents budget limit for the
first time this year.
BY q vote Of 80 to 10, the
Democratic Senate reversed Its
pattern Of trimming Eisen-
hover budgets to recommend
$365 million more than the
President asked.
Republican Leader Dirksen
said the President might well
take the unusual course Of re-
jecting the major money meas
ure. The White House is de-
termined to balance the budget,
he noted, and the Nation Is
in sympathy with that view.
Dirksen Led Attack
Senator Dirksen led an un.
successful fight on the flool
yesterday to recommit the bill.

Presidents request. His effort,
fell before arguments Of Demo.

search.
OF the increase, $l36 million
would finance research at the
National Institutes Of Health
at Bethesda, Md. The Institute:
would receive $47S million
through the year beginning
July !. according to the Senate
version.
Conferees now will settle on
a compromise figure.
Up to now. the Democratic
Congress has cut the Presidents
total budget figure by 1856 mil
lions.
Sympathetic to Pleas

thetic to pleas Of Senator

recovered from cancer, re-
minded the Senate.
I Majority Leader johnson
criticized the President, himself
a heart attack victim. for ask
ing no more this year than last
for research.
The House already exploded
the argument that medical re-
search should be curtailed to
curb imitation and balance the
budget. Senator johnson said.
d. c. Funds Included
The money was part of q
budget that would grant Freed
mems Hospital $3.l million
Gallaudet College $l.2 million
Howard University $5.4 million
and st. EliZabeth's Hospital $4
million.
The Senate recommended
the House allowance OF $l6j
million for Federal aid for
school operations and SOL mil

These figures represent 100 per
cent Of school entitlements un-
der current law compared to
about IS per cent recommended

Star Stan Writer

Senator Gore, Democrat Of
Tennessee, today moved to keep
the Federal aid highway pro-
gram going after July by
means Of a rider to the tax
extension bill now before the
Senate.
He proposed to transfer
about 81 billion of automobile
excise taxes from the general
fund to the special highway
fund. This would wipe out the
deficit which threatens to
terminate the highway pro-

remedy to the tax-extension
bill, Senator Gore would make
1T almost impossible for Presi-
dent Eisenhower to veto it. The
President wants the highway
deficit met by higher gasoline
taxes. which Congress is un-
willing to grant.
If the tax extension bill, on
which the Senate began debate
this morning, is not signed into
law by Tuesday night, the
Treasury would begin suffering
a heavy loss on Wednesday
morning from an automatic
drop in taxes on alcoholic bev-
erages, cigarettes and automo-
biles.
Meeting at 9:30 am. the
Senate quickly approved
changes in the tax bill to re-
peal immediately the 10 per
cent levy on travel tickets and
repeal one year from now the
10 per cent tax on telephone
and telegraph bills.
There is no assurance, how
ever, that the House will take
any amendments to the tax ex-
tension bill.
Chairman Wilbur Mills of the
House Ways and Means Com
mittee is expected to resist in
conference all Senate changes
in the tax extension bill, in
cluding any attempt to solve
the highway problem by Q

IndustriaIs Up,
Utilities and

NEW YORK, July 6 (AP).-
Industrials advanced toward
higher record ground early this
afternoon while utilities and
rails turned mixed.
Motors, steels and some
chemicals were especially strong
as the overall market list moved
forward on average despite
some profit taking.
The rise to historic highs on
Thursday, the last pre-week-
end session, and the continu-
ance Of encouraging news
about the economy contrib
uted to a renewed feeling of
confidence on Wall Street.
Aluminums, drugs and to-
baccos also were well on the
upside.
Oils and aircrafts remained
backward. Electronics and
rubbers were irregular.
General Motors was eS-
peclally strong, trading on a
succession of stable blocks and
rising about 2 points. appar-
emily on favorable reports from
various quarters.
U. S. Steel also was active
and ahead better than a point.
Other steels and motors fol-
lowed these leaders. Bethlehem
and Youngstown Sheet were
ahead about a point apiece.
Wheeling Steel, picked as a
"stock for action" by an ad-
visory service, spurted well over
a point.
All the other automotive
stocks showed plus signs, most
of them fairly small except for
American Motors which rose
about a point.
The high quality of the mar
ket leadership was demonstrat-
ed further by a Jump of about

Litton industries, up more

which edged downward.
Losses of around a point
were taken by Boeing, Douglas
and United Aircraft.
Soldering rose about 2.
Alcoa rose a point while
other aluminums gained frac-
tions in response to news that
aluminium was being used in
the construction of newly
ordered freight cars.
Corporate bonds were Slight
ly higher on balance in routine
trading. Government bonds
were steady.

Chances for a peaceful set

The magazine said Mr.. Nc

states that past practices re-

Last weeks steel production,

down four points from the pre-
