Italian Senate
Asks Mufiu Probe

ROME, July 6 (AP).-The
Italian Senate has called on the
government to investigate the
Mafla, the underworld organ
ization often reputed to be a
power in Sicilian life.
Interior Minister Giuseppe
Sputaro denied Communist and
Socialist charges that the Malta
was so strong it enjoyed politi-
cal protection in Sicily from To-
cal government authorities
most of them members of the
Christian Democratic Party
which controls the national
government.
Mr.. Sputaro conceded that
the police have a tough jot
fighting the Malta on the Medi-
terranean island. But he said
there was mo basis to charges
of negligence, inefficiency OF
even collusion against the po-
lice"
Communists and Socialists
claim the Malta has extended
its activities to control of re-
tail food markets, intimidation
of labor union leaders and
blackmail of politicians.

President Signs
3 Bills to Help
Ship Industry
BY the Associated Press

President Eisenhower ha S
signed three bills designed to
meet problems of the Ameri-
can shipping industry.
One would bar rebuilt vessels
from the coaStwise trade un-
less the entire rebuilding work
is done in the United States.
Sponsors said this would
strike at a technique under
which midsections of vessels
are towed to this country from
foreign yards and then joined
here to stern and bow sections.
The bill exempts ships on
which a contract already has
been let for use of this tech
nique if the work starts within
two years.
Another bill. also signed
yesterday, would permit ex-
change of vessels now in use
for war-built vessels in the
reserve fleet, with the operator
paying in cash the excess cost
of the ship he takes out of
the fleet. Sponsors say this
would particularly help tramp
ship operators improve their
fleets.
The third measure is de-
signed to make effective exist
ing law setting up a Govern
ment program of mortgage in
surance for fishing vessels. The
bill would give the Interior
Department, which has juriS-
diction over the program, the
right to draw on the Treasury
tc make up deficiencies in a
fund set up to take care of
mortgage defaults.

PRESIDENTIAL 'WHIMS' FIX
PRESS PARLEYS AT TIMES
Khrushchev's Statements

President Eisenhower conceded today that personal
whm sometimes plays part in his decisions whether
to hold conference.
Today the first time in eight weeks that the
President had held news conference He was asked
if he has any policy for deciding when should be
held. We'll matter of fact" he said, Il suppose
there is little bit of whm that in once in
while"
He added that he does want to be talking all the
time. He recalled that week he made speech in
which he said about all he could think of the subject
that then seemed to be engaging the headlines there
seemed to be little reason for press conference.
Somtimes "other things up" he went on
Whenever the day seems to be free and do it, WELL
frankly enjoy many of them, you know.
And so it is not any running out the thing It's

by the previous earth-shakins
Developments. Their 'front.'
runner is still out there, his
stride smooth and his breath
ing easy.
And so it goes. Every part
of the script is followed scrupu-
lousy.
The Stevenson people con-
tinue to complain they are being
cheated on headquarters space
and to hold self-conScious little
street rallies across PerShinG
square. The Pureto Rican del
egation, in ragged straw hats,
tries a small lobby demonstra-
ton in the Blltmore but it
doesn't come of; the time is
not ripe. Party Chairman Paul
M. Butler, quivering with sim
cerity and righteousness under
the television lights, denies that
he is trying to rig the conven-
ton for anybody. And as the
Platform Committee begins its
marathon hearings on what
Democrats should point to with
pride and view with alarm in
November, the Save the Dunes
Council urges a plank to save
the Dunes "a lakeShore area in
Indiana that some people feel
should be a national park).
1t all seems like busy work.
But patience.
Just a few more days, and
the script will he thrown away.
The delegates will flood in, the
restaurant service will deterio-
rate, there won't be enough
cabs and the lack of sleep will
begin to work on the nerves.
And the men will start biting
the dogs.

Addison's S Disease Held
In Check Like Diabetes

Addison's disease - once
dreaded and once generally
fatal - today can be controlled
like diabetes or other body
deficiencies.
The patient, in the hands of
a competent physician, gener-
ally has many years of pro-
ductive life, thanks to modern
drugs and other treatment.
Relatively rare, Addison's
disease is the result of a de-
ficiency of certain secretions of
the adrenal glands and, in
severe cases, is characterized
by general weakness, low blood
pressure and darkening of the
skin.
Charges have been made
that Senator Kennedy of Mas
sachusetts. a candidate for the
Democratic presidential NOM
ination, suffers from the dis
ease.
Kennedy hackers yesterday
denied there is anything wrong
with his health. His brother,
Robert Kennedy, said the Sen
ator hasn't taken cortisone
since 1858, although he said
there was some adrenal de-
f1ciency observed after World
War II. ...
Treatment Successful
A doctors report noted that
a general checkup showed the
Senator's adrenal glands are
functioning.
In any case, Washington
area doctors checked yesterday
agreed that a person with Ad-
dison's disease who is under
treatment by a competent
! physician has a long life ahead
of him, unless some. other i'll
ness unrelated shows up.
Until a few years ago the
condition was usually fatal
over a period of time. Today
doctors use corticosteriods and
! other forms of treatment to
control it. A similar situation
would be the control of dia-
betes with insulin.
Symptoms Of Disease
Among Negroes, the basic
cause is often a tuberculosis
infection of the adrenal glands
which are flattened bodies o1
tissue at the upper end of each
kidney. Among whites it seems
to be usually a general failure
of the adrenals.
The adrenal glands are COM
posed of two basic parts, the
internal portion known as the
medulla, which secretes adren-
alin, and the cortex which
has a lot to do with the carbo-
hydrate and protein metabo-

any rigging"
Earlier at his weekly news
conference Gov. Lawrence gave
an emphatic mo" when asked
if he thought the convention
was rigged.
Senator Symington claimed
140 convention votes for the
nomination but was doubtful of
first-ballot support. He said his
greatest source of strength is
lin the South and among
Negroes"
1--WE felt for several years
that if Kennedy didn't make
it on an early ballot I would
be the nominee" he said.
Senator Symingto n dis
counted Senate Majority Leader
JohnSon's chances for the
nomination, saying he didn't
feel the Northern States would
support the Texas Senator.

KhruShchev's Statements
The President did not specify
what he had in mind in charg-
ing Mr.. Khrushchev with try
ing to influence the American
election.
In the background are several
KhruShchev statements about
individual American political
leaders. and his oft-repeated
assertion since collapse of the
Paris summit meeting in May
that he would not deal any
more with President EiSenhow-
er, but would wait for a new
administration in Washington
for any serious negotiations
toward the easing of cold war
tensions.
The Soviet Premier has
seemed at times to imply that
he would prefer a Democrat in
the White House. He said on
June 3 that Russia was not so
badly off in the late Secretary
of State Dulles time because
he did so many foolish things
he made it easier for U.S." and
that from that point of view I
suppose Nixon is the best choice

The Soviet Premier added at

would be better for us if we had
a wise partner" but if not the
American people would be "the

physical condition had a great
deal to do with whatever he
had accomplished or any mis-

The President took issue with
some economists who have pre-
dicted that the country is in
for an economic recession.
He cited statistics that Amer
ica's gross national product is
at an all-time high, with en-
ployment and personal income
and other economic weather
vaneS up.
The only thing he knows ot
that could give any legitimate
cause for concern about the
economy, is that the steel in.
dustry is operating at just
about so per cent of ca acity
But he pointed out that Sc
much new steel productive ca.
pacity has been built up in re-
cent years that this so per cent
now would have been about z;
per cent a few years back. HI

AS for Government finances
Mr.. Eisenhower said it "woulc
be a miracle" if the Treasury
wound up the new fiscal yeal
next June 80 with a surplus a;
large as he estimated in his
January budget message.
Surplus Prospects
He said the surplus prospects
have been dimmed by failure
of Congress to raise posta
rates and aviation fuel taxes
that he recommended, while
adding "a great deal" of eX'
penditures.
He told a questioner that III

year that ended last week.
