Judge Removes Juror
ToAvert PrejudiceH Hint

District Judge George l..
Hart. jr.. today dismissed a
Juror when it was learned
her husband was the deputy
marshal guarding the prisoner
in court.
In taking the action in the
midst of the trial, Judge Hart
explained it implied no criti-
cism of either the Juror, Mrs.
Rupert v. Rivers, 351l Twenty
fourth street NE, nor of her
husband. An alternate was
substituted.
Judge Hart explained he was
acting through an abundance
of caution" to avoid any pos
sible prejudice to the Defend
ant.
Defense Attorney T. Emmett
Mckenzie objected to the move.
81 don't think you have the
power or authority to do this"
Mr.. Mckenzie told the Judge.
He asserted the jurist was act
ing on mere supposition with
out any evidence Of possible
prejudice.
Judge Hart replied that had

Of the juror to the deputy be-
fore the trial, he would have
excused Mrs. Rivers from

Death Rope

CHELSEA, VT, Oct. IA (AP>
Robert o. WEIGH, as, school
janitor on trial for the murder
Of Orville A. Gibson of New
bury. told police he owned the
rope with which Mr.. Gibson's
body was bound. a State inves-
tigator testified today.
Mr.. WEIGH and another man
were indicted for murder in
what the State contends was a
"vigilante" action to avenge the
beating Of a farm hand on
Christmas Day, 1857.
WEIGH Questioned
1t. Chester L. Nash, chief
State police investigator in the
case, said Mr.. WEIGH was ques-
toned at a motel two days
after Mr.. Gibson's body was
found in the Connecticut River
near Randolph.
1t. Nash said the three or
four foot length of A-inch
rope was handed to Mr.. WEIGH
at the time of the questioning
Corpl. Nelson Lay then asked,
"Is that a piece of your rope,
Ozzie?" 1t. Nash testified.
Over objections of Henry
Black, chief defense counsel, 1t
Nash was allowed by Judge
Matt L. Divoll, jr., to tell the
Orange County jury Mr.,
WEIGHS reply.
HE said, BY God, fellows
that's my rope" 1t. Nash
testified.
Mr.. Black, whose objections
blocked that answer yesterday
with the jury out of the court
room, requestioned 1t. Nash
today before the jury. The
questioning of Mr.. WEIGH at the
temporary police headquarters
in Randolph March %, 1858
was reviewed.
Home Searched
1t. Nash also testified yester-
day that after the converse
ton about the rope, State police
searched both Mr.. Welch's
home and the Newbury grade

school where Mr.. WEIGH is still
working, before and after court
hours. 1t. Nash did not dis
close whether anything was
found.
Due to return to the stand
today for cross-examination is
the State pathologist, DR.. Rich
ard F. Woodruff, who per-
formed the autopsy on the body
of Mr.. Gibson.
DR.. Woodruff in his initial re-
port on July /, 1858, ruled that
Mr.. Gibson died of asphyxia,
"cause unknown"
But he testified yesterday
that he has since concluded the
asphyxia was due to drowning.
indicating that Mr.. Gibson was
still alive after he presumably
had been beaten, trussed and
thrown into the river from a
bridge near his home.

maximum the companies can
pay without pushing up produc-
ton costs and thus Initiating
prices. He linked the 2 per cent
wage and benefit offer to his
estimate that output per man
hour increases at about 2 per
cent per year.
z Must Share Gains
Any further gains in cutting
production costs, he said. should
be shared with stockholders and
consumers.
At any rate, Mr.. Mcdonald
had already rejected the idea
of trading off the work rules
issue for higher wages and
benefits.
DR.. Taylor said the board of
inquiry perhaps has made
some very modest contribution
to reaching an ultimate settle
ment" by clarifying the posi-
lions of the antagonists. But
he did not soften his estimate
of yesterday that settlement of
the strike by voluntary agree
ment this week would really
be a miracle of the numher-one
first order"
Sees Two Key Issues
Mr.. Cooper told the Board of
Inquiry that the two basic issues
in the strike are these:
First. whether the companies
should submit to the unions
rule-or-ruin demands for an
other inf1ationary increase in
wages and benefits in the face
of steadily increasing competi-
ton which confrontS our indus
try both at home and abroad;
and
Second, whether the new
agreements will permit reason
able latitude in the manage
ment of the business, in the
interest of improved efficiency
and economy of operations"
Union leaders, Mr.. Cooper
charged, "have insisted upon
an inflationary, something-for-
nothing settlement. They have
offered nothing whatever in ex-
change for the increased wages
and benefits they seek"
Called Imitation Backers
These union leaders, he con-
tinued, think that initiation
is a good thing for them"
The companies wage and
benefit offer is conditioned
upon the unions willingness to
give management a freer hand
in changing local work prac-
tice rules. The union has re-
fused to consider this concts-
sion on work rules, contendins
the proposed changes would
lead to industrial slavery" and
are designed to break" the
union.
Mr.. Cooper called this charge
plain hogwash."
Aim to Cut Costs
All the companies want. Mr..
Cooper said, is the right to cut
costs by eliminating horse
and-buggy contract language. "
He said the union is distort-
ing the issue by saying the
companies want to abolish cof-
fee breaks and destroy seniority
rights.
Union wage increases have
far outrun gains in output per
man hour, Mr.. Cooper MAN.
tanned, diSputing the union
contention that the companies
could afford to raise wages and
cut prices.
Summarizing the manage
ment position, Mr.. Cooper said
the companies believe that

tary-general of the Organlza'
United States deposited $780,
900, one-tenth of its total COM
mitment. Argentina deposited
$113,454.
Secretary of the Treasury An
derson, who participated on be-
half of the United States, and
other speakers hailed the estab-
liShment of the hemisphere in
stitution.
The bank, Secretary Ander-
son said, has single major OBJ
jective-the acceleratiop Of the
process of economic develop
ment of its member countries,
individually and collectively.
The new institution, he add
ed, arises from the special re-
lationships, historical, political
and economic, which exists be-
tween the United States and the
Latin American countries.
Eustaquio A. MendeZ Delfino,
Argentine Secretary of Finance,
declared the inter-American
agreement on this institution is
evidence of the solidarity and
cooperation among nations in
the hemisphere.
He emphasized that the sue
cess of the bank will depend in
great part upon the level of
monetary stability within the
participating countries. He
firmly advised his colleagues to
work for sound financial poll
cies in their countries.
Mr.. Mendez Delfino pointed
out that Argentina once en-
joyed a sound economy and
then entered a period of in
f1ation. During imitation, he
added, there was paralysis or
retrogreSsion; during stability,
development and progress.
He said that for the United
States the bank is a part of a
broad program initiated by one
of the great statesmen, the late
Secretary of State John Fos-
ter Dulles, to whom he paid
homage.
Cleantho de Paiva Leite of
Brazil, chairman of the prep
aratory commission of the new
bank, took a view different
from that of the Argentine Sec
Rotary. He said the banks
basic goal has a misleading ap-
pearance of simplicity.
Although there is no dis
pute on the desirability and
the urgent need for measures
that will bring about a narrow
ing of the gap between the less
developed and the industrial
countries" he declared, there
is considerably less degree of
accord as to the type of meas
ureS that should be adopted"
He said governments of the
Americas must face the realities
of a growing disequilibrium"
between the need for capital
goods of less-developed coun-
tries and the need for primary
countries of industrial coun-
tries. He asserted that balance
of payment problems will have
to be tackled on a realistic
basis.
Opening Basis
The bank will open for bust
ness if and when IS per cent
of the ST billion total capital
is committed, provided this is
done before the end of 1859
The commitments today repre-
sent more than so per cent.
1t is proposed that the bank
allocate $3.50 million to hard
money" transactions at the out
set, and the other $3.50 million
to So-called soft money
transactions.

any infiationary increase in
wages would injure the COM
petitive position of their prod
ucts, and would result in a fur
ther loss of markets; that it
would thus diminish the job Sc
curity of their employees: and
that it would contribute fur
ther to the Nationwide spiral
of wage-price imitation from
which not only the companies
themselves, but Americans
everywhere, are now suffering"
Fears Ripple Out"
Big wage increases to steel
workers, he said, would ripple
out" to other industries.
He charged the union has not
made any discernible effort
to reach voluntary agreement
as requested by President Eli
senhower." He blamed the
union for the deadlock.
Disputing union charges, Mr..
Cooper said the companies
"have not sought Government
intervention in any form; but
instead have exhausted every
effort to secure a voluntary
settlement"
But, he added, so long as the
union insists on wage and bene-
fit increases of inf1ationary pro-
portions. and refuses to deal
reasonably with the problems
arising out of some Of the con-
tract provisions ION work
rules) no agreement will be
possible"
Board Reports Friday
The board is due to submit
its report on the strike issues
to President Eisenhower Friday.
Upon receiving the report, the
President can seek a court in
junction sending the 100000
strikers back to work for a 30
day cooling-of period.
But DR.. Taylor limited that
he may continue his mediation
efforts even if an injunction is
issued. 1--WE are not giving up
our efforts to narrow the issues
between the parties, nor will
we as long as we are on the
job" he said.
We've got a lot of ideas"
he added.
Unless the strike is settled
before the 80-day injunction
expires, the union will strike
again. The board of inquiry
may work with the antagonists
during the 80-day cooling-off
period.
Both Sides ScOlded
With union leaders on the
witness stand, DR.. Taylor
yesterday scolded both sides
for letting collective bargain
ing fail. He said labor and
management have been given
the privilege of working out
their differences freely. In
steel, he said, the union and
the companies have failed in
their responsibility to use this
privilege fully.
HAS too much faith been
placed in the willingness and
ability (of labor and manage
ment) to settle their own diff
ferences?" he asked, warning
that the public may lose con-
fidence in collective bargaining.
Demands may grow for
labor settlements imposed by
the Government, he warned.
That process would infringe
on democracy, he added.
DR.. John A. Perkins, an
other member of the board,
suggested that the Govern
ment has become a "crutch"
relied on by labor and man
agement in steel.

it's beneficiary bodies come
under these major programs:
1. 345,00O unabsorbed immi-
grants to Israel of recent
years who must be considered
unintegrated because they are
ill-housed, underemployed, or
without means to fully sup
port themselves. These are to
be helped through the Jewish
Agency, IsraePs philanthropic
body for meeting newcomer
needs.
2. 10000 aged, handicapped,
