of more unfavorable weather for har-
vesting brought active demand for soy
beans on the board of trade today.
Prices for soybeans advanced a cent
or more in early transactions with
professors the best buyers. A firmeI
soybean meal market also helped bear
futures.
Wheat steadied around the opening
on overnight flour sales to the cake

placed az around three million bushels
Demand soon slackened, however, and
price changes we're held within mar

Demand for corn was lacking early

Rackets Committee.
AFL-CIo leaders also recog-
nise the inevitability Of union
reform legislation. They sup
port the principle, but are gen.
timely worried that Congress
in its zeal win 60 too far and
hurt legitimate unions.
At the moment. It appears
that advocates of stringent leg
islation will have to do most
Of the yielding. Senator Ken
needy, Democrat Of Massachu-
sets. probably can count on
the votes to defeat major
amendments to the union
backed bill he sponsors.
Committee to Hit Soon
He expects the Senate Labor
Committee to clear his bill this
week after disposing Of Repub-
lican amendments. Floor action
is likely this month or next.
Action by the House will take
considerably longer. probably
until early summer. But there
is little disposition to try to
block House consideration Of a
bill this year.
Even while planning their re-
treat, advocates Of tough legis-
ton are developing strategy to
blame Senator Kennedy and
other prolabor Democrats for
weaknesses In the bill finally
enacted.
Senator Goldwater. Republic
can of Arizona. yesterday re-
iterated his contention that
Senator Kennedy's bill would
mot be really effective" in
cracking down on crooked
unionists.. He sponsors the Eli
senhower administrations bill.
and favors even stricter legisla-
ton.
What GOldwater Wants
Senator Goldwater insisted
restrictions against secondary
boycotts and organizational
picketing are essential to con-
troll union rackets. But he said
he would reluctsntlv accept a
reform bill lacking these curbs
If a deadlock "came to the point
of killing all legislation"
In that event, the Senator
said, he will try to pin the
Democrats down to a specific
deadline date to bring a sepa-
rate boycott and picketing bill
to the Senate floor.
While his prospects admit
teddy are dim. Senator Gold
water intends to lead an all
out floor fight for boycott and
picketing curbs. II he fails. as
expected. he said he will fight to
delete from Senator Kenneov's
bill provisions demanded by
ORGANIZED labor.
These provisions, not directly
related to the problem of rack
eteering. are in Title vi Of
Senator Kennedy's bill. They
would. among other things. let
strikers vote in union repre-
sentati6n elections and ease
restrictions against union Sc
curity in the building industry.

AFL-CIo President George
Meany has said he will use
labor's influence to defeat Sen
ator Kennedy's bill If Title vi
Is stricken.

sor, Senator Erwin, is leading

Governor Ends
HearingonEdte
OF Chessnlan

SACRAMENTO, Calf, Oct,
l6 (AP).-"That's 1t and I'll
do a lot of praying" With
those words Gov. Edmund g,
Brown closed a three-hour
clemency hearing yesterday
that may mean life or death
Tor Caryl Chessman.
Gov. Brown opposes capital
punishment. He spoke of the
scheduled execution of the
38-year-old convict-author a
week from today as that Ro-
man holiday"
The Governor gave no hint,
however, whether he'll COM
mute the death sentence to
life behind bars-without hope
Of parole-or let chessman die
in the San Quentin gas cham
ber.
Gov. Brown said he would
announce his decision before
Monday. Noting Cheeseman's
1l1a years in death row he
said, I'm going to make a
ruling one way or another and
then I'm through"
Chessman, in a letter last
week, demanded "vindication
or DEATH" His attorneys, how
ever, pleaded for a commuta-
ton.
Chessman was convicted in
1948 as a Los Angeles lovers
lane bandit who forced two
girls into acts of sexual de-
pravity. He got the death
penalty on two counts of kid
mapping for robbery with bodily
harm.
Gov. Brown made it clear at
the outset he's convinced
CheSsman committed those
crimes. Chessman, in his long
fight in the courts and in his
prlSon-Wrltten books, has in
sisted he is innocent.
The defense's bid point was
that Chessman was condemned
on a technical charge of kid
naping and that he didn't kill
anyone.
But Cheeseman's prosecutor,
Deputy District Attorney j.
Miller Leavy of Los Angeles,
called the mental hospital COM
mitment of one of Cheeseman's
victims-a A7-year-old girl-a
living death.

Anti-Integrotion
Law Invoked
In Little Rock

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Oct. 16
(AP "A State anti-integration
law has been invoked by SO of
the 1900 white students at two
Little Rock public high schools
to avoid sitting in classes with
Negroes.
Terrell Powell, superintend-
ent of schools, disclosed this
in answer to a neWSman's ques-
ton yesterday. He said the law,
passed in 1858. had been used
less than the school board had
expected.
The school board assigned S
Negroes to the 1,500-pupil Gen.
tral High School and 3 to the
700-pupil Hall High School un-
der a State pupil placement law
to carry out token desegrega-
ton.
The law used by white stu
dents requires a school to place
student in classes with only
his own race if he requests it.
1t was one of the anti-integra-
ton acts Gov. Orval E. Faubus
successfully sponsored.
