Most Teens Favor Nom
-s' WHO IS YOUR FAvoRITE RELATIVE?
BY EUGENE GILBERT
oilbert Youth Research CO.

Dad may be the breadwinner but nom by far
is the popularity contest winner in the home.
This Is the glaring conclusion Of q survey Of
1,036 young people in II cities. They were asked
who was their favorte and least favorite relatives
and what did they like or dislike about them.
Nearly half had no opinion either way.
Only per cent of the students picked their
mothers.
Strangely, Of the few who named dad none
were boys Nom, on the other hand, was the
equal favorite Of both sons and daughters.
As to the relative they liked least nom and
dad enjoyed small totals of 8 per cent each
among the whole group, but the division Of boys
and girls was curious
Four per cent Of the boys and 2 per cent Of
the girls liked their mothers least; per cent Of
the girls and per cent Of the boys liked their
fathers least.
Judi Kramer, 18, of Flushing, N. r, had
good reason for dad being her favorite. She cited
"his intelligence, humor and personality"
Some of the reasons for disliking dad were
transient. "He won't let me have pigeons"
moaned 14-year-old boy In Lacrosse, Wis And
q 16-year-old girl in vineland, N. J., complained

Cohen Indicted
In Staying

LOS ANGELES, Nov. l CAP).
Former gambling kingpin
Mickey Cohen, recently freed on
100000 bail from Alcatraz, is
back behind bars today.
Cohen and four others were
indicted for murder and con-
Spiracy yesterday in the 23-
month-old Staying of an under
world tough, Jack (The En-
forcer) Whalen, who used his
fists to collect gambling debts.
Also indicted, following a
three-week secret investigation
by the grand jury, were:
Sam LoCigno, 35, and George
Piscitelle, 30, both liquor sales
men: Roger Leonard, "A, movie
executive, and Joe de Carlo, 81,
former manager of Stripteaser
Candy Barr, Cohen's former
sweetheart who now is serving
a narcotics sentence in Texas.
Cohen and the others were
arrested shortly after the in
dictmentS were returned. Leon
ard is being held in Philadelphia
for Los Angeles authorities.
Cohen was freed on bail two
weeks ago pending appeal of
his conviction for income tax
evasion. LoCigno was con-
victed last year of the De-
cember 2, 1853, shooting of
Whalen, but won a reversal.
LoCigno. who admitted the
shooting but pleaded self
defense, was awaiting a new
trial. Investigators indicated
the indictments stemmed from
information inadvertently fur
nished by IoCigno while in San
Quentin.
All of those indicted, plus
Cohen's current teen-age
sweetheart, blond model
dancer Sandra Hagen, were at
a table in an expensive res
taurant in Suburban Sherman
