a slang word meaning "volun-

New Trial Is Slated

Evans got two queries from
the jury, which he answered
by telephone from his home.
He repeatedly asked a question
of his own.
Attorneys later protested,
saying there should be no in
structions except in the pre-
sence of State and defense at
torneys.
After a conference in cham
bers with the attorneys, Judge
Evans announced the deadlock
to the press. called the jury in
and polled it.
Afterward he called the jury
into his chambers and shook
each members hand.
Il am extremely sincere" he
said. when I tell you thanks
for your help. You are one of
the rare juries that has been
locked up prior to the time
the case was given to you. (The

II hope that any smartine
resentment you may have felt

Because of the retrial, he ad-

Hoffu Sees Union
Hurt by Kennedy

SACRAMENTO, Calf. Mar.
.l2 (AP).-The Landrum-G Grit
fin Labor Act is making strike
breakers out of truck drivers,
and it's Senator Kennedy's
fault, James Hof1a declared
today. Be-.
Mr.. Hoffa, president of the
International Brotherhood of
Teamsters, told a news con-
ference that if Senator Ken
nedy wins the Democratic
nomination for President,
"Teamster members and their
families will be alerted to the
fact that he was responsible
for the law aimed at destroying
unions"
Union members can fight the
act through political action and
by challenging its constitution
ality in the courts, he said.
Mr.. Hoffa said title 7 of the
act requires union truck drivers
to make deliveries and pickups
Iat picketed establishments
This deprives the drivers OF
their right to help other union
members on strike, he said.

CounciIin Philadelphia
Won't Support Grohom

PHILADELPHIA, Mar. II
(AP.-The Greater Philadel-

today it will not support Billy
Graham's evangelistic crusade
at Convention Hall in 1861.
The councils board Of direc-
tors said a poll of laymen and
clergymen indicated a division
of opinion concerning Mr.
Graham's mass evangelism and
emphasis on theology.
The council comprises $50
churches in "a denominations
in the f1ve-county Greater
Philadelphia area.
Six hundred persons replied
to the poll.
The Rev. William D. Powell
general secretary of the coun-
Gil, said individual churches
and denominations are free tc
support the crusade, but the
council cannot give official sup
port because Of the division OF
opinion. ....
Mr.. Graham himself wa,
quoted once as saying the
Church Federation of Chicago
was wise not to support a pro-
posed crusade that would have
embarrassed many of the
churches.
He was invited to Philadel.
phia by a committee Of 10C
Protestant clergymen. The COM
mittee has an option on Con-
vention Hall for mass meetings

MED tonight that he had ac-

plicity in the explosion Of a
French munitions ship in Ha-
vana Harbor March 4.

that the United States was in

Mr.. Castro made his state
ment in an impromptu side
walk news conference outside
a midtown Havana hotel,
where reporters encountered
him.
The Prime Minister referred
to what he called proof of
flights over Havana by private
planes based in the United
States and added:
II actually have the right to
doubt the good will Of the
United States"
He said accounts that he had
accused the United States of
completely in the ship explosion
were misinterpretations of his
remarks.

Mr.. Castro charged the vessel

ton on a conference report on
a small boat act for Virginia.
A conference committee was
waiting to report its agreement
on differences between the
House and Senate on the bill

Of Accomack County.
The report, which appeared
virtually certain Of acceptance,
would require all small boats
with motors of 10 horsepower
or more to be registered and
numbered.
A fee of IS every three years
would be charged.
The Shreves bill is designed

Congressional Act. effective

Since tie Virginia bill, II
enacted. could not become oper-

Guard has agreed to suspend

until that time.
The Department of Game
and Inland Fisheries would en-
force the law.
In debate on the measure,
State Senator Mills E. Good

ton to the bill was due to
misunderstanding.
IF this bill is not enacted"
he said. "the people of Virginia
will be in almost the same
position under the Federal Act"
The conference report also
recommended that any sticker
issued by the Coast Guard or
its auxiliary would be recog-
nized as signifying a valid
inspection.
