shook his head and COM
mented: Another precedent
shattered"
May Get More Requests
Now that Mr.. Goldberg has
agreed to arbitrate the opera
dispute, he may be faced with
requests for direct intervention
in other cases. 1t may be ar
gued, for example, that an auto
strike would harm the Nations
economy as much as an opera
shutdown would damage the
Nations culture, and therefore
that intervention is in order.
Mr.. Goldberg has expressed
agreement in principle with
those who seek to minimize
Government intervention in la
Dor disputes. If direct inter-
vention becomes the pattern,
according to this view, labor
and management will get into
the habit of waiting for the
Government to act instead of
depending on free collective
bargaining.
The Secretary emphasized
that the opera arbitration will
be "voluntary"-in the sense
that the parties freely agreed
to the procedure.
A question raised by the
agreement is whether the final
settlement will increase de-
mands for Federal subsidies to
the Met and other cultural in
stitutionS operating with big
deficits.
Salary Is Issue
The union said last week it
would accept arbitration, but
the Nets management did not
agree to go along at that time.
Local 802 at first demanded
an increase in base weekly pay
from $l70 to 1858, and later
came down gradually to 1920.
The opera proposed to continue
the $l70 scale for the 1961-62
season, and offered SO weekly
raises in each of the following
two seasons. Management eSti-
the cost of its proposal
on wages and other contract
terms at IA per cent over the
three years.
The arbitration agreement |
was signed for the opera by
A. Bliss, president of
the Met, and Mr.. Bing. Signing
for the union were Local 802
President Alfred j. Manuti and
Secretary Max L. AronS.
President Acts
President Kennedy entered
the dispute when the opera on
August 7 announced cancella-
ton of the season. He directed
Mr.. Goldberg to offer his good
offices. The Secretary twice
revived negotiations. but an
other deadlock developed last
week, and he called the parties
to Washington for yesterdays
meeting.
In yesterdays letter to the
parties, Mr.. Kennedy said:
THE Metropolitan Opera, as a
standard of excellence and as
a measure of creative vigor in |
the performing arts for over
half a century, has become i
a truly international institu-
ton. The Metropolitan
Opera is important to the

High Profitin
Army Deal
BY the Associated Press

Senator Williams, Republi-
can of Delaware. says a de-
fense subcontractor m a d e
$537. .00O-a SO per cent profit
on contracts of s1,456,685 for
Army communications equip
ment.
"An this cost was automati-
cally passed on to the United
States Government and to the
taxpayers" Senator Williams
told the Senate yesterday, add
ing that after the controller
general investigated the deals
the subcontractor refunded
$150,000 of its enormous profit
to the Government"
There is no indication that
anyone connected with the
military had been in the least
bit concerned over these high
profits" Senator Williams said.
Senator williams said the
subcontractor was Motorola,
Inc, Western Military Elec-
tronics Center at Phoenix.
Ariz. He said the contracts
were negotiated by Gilfillan
Bros, Inc, of Los Angeles.
prime contractor for the Army
equipment.
The Senator said Motorola
sold SO decoders for $3.449
each as part of the transaction
although six months earlier
it completed 81 Of the same
instruments for an average Of
$2,342.
On another piece Of equip
ment, Senator Williams said
Motorola received $579 each
for SO code package assemblies
in February, 1858, and $543
for 80 more a month later. But
Senator williams said it had
sold At similar units six months
earlier at $3.50 each.
In June, 1857, Motorola sold
140 code package assemblies
for $249 each which had cost
only $116 a unit a few months
earlier, Senator Williams said.
This is another typical ex-
ample of what is happening
and what will continue to hap
pen under the irresponsible
procurement policies of the
military establishments in the
absence of a law which will
make it mandatory that all
Government procurement be
obtained on a strictly competi-
tive bid basis Senator Will

A District Court jury yester-
day decided that Bobbie Van
Over, q 22-year-old Florida cir
Gus hand. is not guilty by rea-
son of insanity Of the murder
of q former university presi-
dent.
The jury reached its verdict
after about six hours of de-
liberation following two days
of trial.
Van Over had been charged
with first degree murder and
murder in the commission OF
a felony in the brutal beating
and strangling last April IT,
1860, Of David B. Owen, gen.
eral manager of the Santa
Cruz (Cal:f) Chamber Of
Commerce and former presi-
dent Of Bradley University.
Prints Found
Testimony showed that Mr.,
Owen had asked Van Over to
come up to the third-tloor
room of the Alton Hotel where
Mr.. Owen stayed while here to
testify before a congressional
committee on small boat har-
Dor improvements. Mr.. Brad
ley's nude body was found in
the room by police. A palm
print Of Van Overs was found
on q drinking glass in the room.
A statement made by the
circus hand to police-made a
part Of the prosecutions case
quoted Van Over as saying
that Owen had asked to be
beaten and, II didn't mean to
kill the guy"

Suspect Ruled Insane,
Acquitted Of SIoying

Mrs. Jean Dwyer, represent
ing Van Over, called in two st.
Elizabeths Hospital psychia-
trists as defense witnesses.
Both of them told the jury that
Van Over was mentally i'll at
the time of the crime and that,
if he committed it, the crime
was the product of the illness.
Called Dangerous"
One of the psychiatrists tes-
titled that the 6-foot-4-inch
circus hand is "one of the most
dangerous patients" he ever
had at the hospital.
Following presentation of
testimony and final arguments
in the case, Judge John j.
Sirica gave the jury only two
alternatives, telling the panel
members they must find Van
Over either not guilty or not
guilty by reason of insanity.
The judge called to the jury's
attention the fact that the
Government had been able to
produce only one witness-and
that a layman-to testify in.
rebuttal in an effort to carry
its burden Of proving beyond a
reasonable doubt that Van
Over was sane at the time Of
the crime.
AS a result Of the verdict
Van Over has been committed
to st. Elizabeths and must re-
main there until it is deter
mined by the hospital and the
court that he has recovered his
sanity and will not be danger
Gus to himself or others.

Heavy Explosion
Noted Junuory3l
In Soviet Union
By the Associated Press

United States officials report
that an explosion occurred in
the Soviet Union January 81.
The force of the blast was
estimated as equal to that from
so to 100 tons of TINT. This
could have been an explosion
caused by chemical means or
by atomic power and officials
said they do not know which
it was. It occurred east of the
Finnish border.
United States sources re-
ported that they received the
advice from abroad after Fin
nish newspapers published
stories about it.
The Washington officials
said similar reports of other
explosions in the Soviet Union
are received here from time
to time.

treaty which the West has been
seeking at Geneva talks is Gre
alton of an inspection system

Danish ordeal under Nazi oc-

the stand for the ninth straight
day and elected a flood of ex-
plantations adding up to only
one thing: Eichmann never

carried out his superiors' bid

Illustrative of this was
Eichmann's reputation of a
document naming him as the
man who ordered" evacuation
of a mental hospital in Hol-
land so it could be turned over
to SIS military units.
This could not be accurate

claiming that Arthur Seyss-
Inquart, the Nazi Governor of

to Copenhagen on orders of his

plan already had been "imple-
mented" by an IS colonel on
