Longshoremen Strike

NEW YORK tR = A strike of longshoremen began to spread paralysis today along docks from Maine to Texas.
 The International Longshore- mems Association reported that in New York alone it had immobil- ized 72 vessels.
 Tickets began marching in a dozen or more Atlantic and Gulf Coast ports, but the union said full picketing would not start un- til after Christmas.
 The walkout began at 5 D. m Sunday on the expiration of an in- junction that had halted similar Walkout in October. A last-min- ute appeal by President Kennedy for a postponement was rejected by the union.
 Key issue is the ship owners de- mand that longeshoremen cut their work gangs from 20 to IF men, saying larger number is Misunderstanding"

NASHVILLE, Tenn. LR = The Justice Department has failed agaln-for the fourth time in five years-to put James Hoffa behind bars.
 The S1=million conspiracy trial of the Teamsters Union president wound up with a hung jury Sun day. After the judge declared mistrail, several jurors said the vote was to for acquittal.
 Hoffa was accused of conspiring with Michigan car-hauling firm 10 violate the Taft-Hartley Acts ban against payoffs from employ CTS to union officials. The complex trial began Oct p.
 As he released the jurors, US. Judge Wm. Miller ordered an in- vestigation into heretofore secret FB1 testimony that two Hoffa as soclates tempered with or tried to influence two members of the jury
 The two jurors were replaced by alternates earlier this month.
 The jury received the case Fri day and deliberated IT hours, in- cluding three hours Sunday. Upon receiving the jury's fourth report that it was hopelessly deadlocked, the judge dismissed the panel.
 Hoffa said he was disappointed he was not acquitted but gratified he wasn't convicted.
 In the five years since he be. came president of the Is million member Teamsters Union, Hoffs has spent much of his time in lega, scraps with the federal govern ment.
 The stocky labor boss was ac- quilted by a Washington, DC, jury in 1857 of conspiring to bribe a Mcclellan committee investiga- tor. Later that year he was in- dicted in New York on wiretap conspiracy charges. The first trial ended in hung jury. Hoffa was acquitted on a retrial the next year.
 Hoffa charged the Kennedy Ad- particularly Atty. Gen. Kennedy, was out to get him.
 Before boarding chartered plane for Detroit, Hoffa fired parting shot.
 "Verdicts by the Attorney Gen. eral must cease" he said. We have right to believe that every man should be treated equally

Castro Posses In Christmas Bonus. Frees Relatives

. HAVANA James B. Dono- van said Monday the way has been cleared for more than 1000 inn mediate relatives of the newly liberated Bay of Pigs prisoners to follow them to the United States.
 The chief negotiator for the ran
 som of invasion prisoners said that
 Prime Minister Fidel Castro has
 thrown in "Christmas bonus" ir
 the deal by argeeing to let mo-
 thers, fathers, wives and children
 of the released captives leave.
 Donovan said:
 T spoke yesterday morning with Fidel about the fact that we had the African Pilot going back light. I asked him if he would object to hearing petition of the prisoners mothers to get on the freighter. Fidel consented, and told me he was giving me a bonus"
 The first of the families may sail in AS hours aboard the 10,OOO-ton American freighter which was chartered to deliver S1l million in food, medicine and drugs as a down payment on S53 million ran som for the 1,113 prisoners.
 The African Pilot will carry a load of passengers to Port Ever 3lades, Fla, pick up second load of ransom supplies and return to Cuba.
 Castro made the offer while in m expansive mood as he jestingly a 24 hour "state of oeace' with the United States.
 Castro went to the docks to watch the unloading of medicines md food
 About S1O million worth of goods was landed within 24 hours. Cuban longsheremen and Red Cross crews worked side by side 0 speed the unloading.
 Castro said the relatives could cave even if they didn't have 'isa but he reminded them ,'of Iifficultiesa they'd have with the government.
 As the swap of invasion cap- ves for food and medicine began Castro drove mannoun- ed 10 the dock where the African oilot was unloading.
 The bearded Cuban leader show d only casual interest in the food md medicine. but he declared the state of peace in good- latured testing with the skipper # the vessel and personally es- orted a group of Americans on a our of Havana.

 Some of the tension built up through the long vigil of Sunday by nlne-hour delay in the arrival of the first Zprisoners. of .WarZhad eased b. midday this Christmas Eve. Perhaps this was because of knowledge that the big propeller driven DG-6s were arriving almost on schedule and hopes were high for happy end to the vigil.
 But the scene of the arrivals, Homestead Air Force Base south of Miami, was still packed with emotion.
 Heart-rending scenes were re- peated over and over at the re- celvlng center for the men coming in from the air base. Men pale from long months of confinement and inadequate diet wept openly as they shoWered wives, children fathers and mothers with kisses. Men stared happily at infant

Christians Pay
 Homage to the Prince of Peace

Christians the world over turned today on the eve of Christ's birth to pay homage to the Prince of Peace
 In the year 1862 - torn by anxieties and armed conflict in parts of the world = the spirit of hope and compassion that has carried down through the centuries prevailed
 It was the same story in the rice paddles and jungles of South Viet Nam, along the tense armistice line in bleak Korea and in the uneasy Holy Land
 Pilgrims from the far corners of the earth thronged the birthplace of Jesus in Bethlehem. Jordan of ficials said, however, there were 40 per cent fewer from the West than in recent years. Uneasiness on the fringes of the Holy Land - arising from Arab rivalries over the revolution in Yemen-kept many visitors away.
 The Ancient Mandelbaum Gate was opened as it is every Christ mas to allow thousands of Israeli Arabs cross the no mans land to visit relatives in the Jordanian sector of Jerusalem.
 US. soldiers in South Viet Nam, serving as advisers to President Ngo Dinh Diem's government fighting the Communists, had no time out for Christmas celebra- tions.
 Francis Cardinal Spellman, Ro- man Catholic Vicar of US. armed forces, was in South Viet Nam with troops in the field-as he is every year
 Pope John xxIII, recovering from serious illness, began busy Christmas schedule with special at- tention to the infirm and aged.
 For the 18th straight year Ameri- can GIs spent white Christmas in Korea's snow-covered rugged mountains and hills.
 The troops manned guard posts along the 155-mile-long ar1nistice line-a remnant of a bloody war that has not yet formally ended.
 Soldiers = thousands of miles from home = played Santa Claus for the thousands of Korean chil- dren left orphans by the war.
 Comedian Bob Hope led a 1 troupe of stars to entertain the soldiers in Korea.
 The Christmas atmosphere was broken when a Communist naval craft fired on a South Korean patrol ship, killing two Korean sailors and wounding four others.
 Chinese friends joined with the big American colony of 10000 on Formosa to celebrate even though | Christmas has no significance for most Chinese.
 Most of Europe looked forward to a white Christmas and a cold one. All Sweden and Norway were under blankets of snow, so was much of West Germany, and north- ern Scotland. Belgium, Holland and southern England shivered under a pale sunshine.

Hepotitis
Here Rises
Sharply

Infectious hepatitis-a liver
disease borne by dirty hands
nearly tripled in Washington
in 1861, year-end figures
showed today.
The disease nearly doubled
in the United States, rising
from Al ,053 cases in 1860 to
72,557 in 1861. But the disease
made an even bigger percentage
rise here, from about go cases
in 1860 to $50 cases in 1861,
although the total number of
cases here both years was rela-
lively low.
A spokesman for the District
Department of Pubic Health
said a plotting of the cases by
neighborhoods showed the dis
ease, spread by lack of cleanli-
ness, popped up in the best
Washington areas as we'll as in
the poorest.
An acute disease that saps
its victims energy and often
lasts more than a month, hepa-
tits is marked by an uneasy
feeling, headache, gaStro-intes-
tinal upset and later bile in
the urine and jaundice.
1t is caused by a virus ex-
creted in the waste of infected
persons and is spread when a
housewife or cook fails to wash
before preparing meals.
Although it often occurs in
epidemicS in schools and in
stitutions, no such source of
infection was found in Wash
ington last year, the depart
ment spokesman said.
/ December, 1861, statistics
showed $50 deaths related to
pneumonia and influenza in
Washington, a drop from the
800 deaths of December, 1860

THE POWER OF FAITH

1t was the conviction of st. John Baptist de la Sale
that each youth is a prince and must be taught to
realize God has crowned him with honor and glory
and set him above all the works of His hands, Yet,
each must also realize that all his fellow men are
also princes like himself The spirit of the
saint, who gave all his wealth to the poor, mani
tested itself in the establishment of schools for the
sons of working men in the 18th century, the intro
duction of group teaching and the normal school to
the field of education, and the founding of the
teaching order of youth, the Christian Brothers.

Quar- Slall writer
Too-large families are reSpon.
sible for many of the city's
problems, the District Juvenile
Court judge believes.
judge Orm w. Ketcham cited
three court cases in which the
size of the family played a part
He told the kickoff luncheon
of the annual drive of Planned
Parenthood of Metropolitan
Washington, Il have told you
a little bit about our problems
I hope through your campaign
and work you can minimize
them in the future" :"
Planned Parenthood is seek
ing $4,000, which is $4,000
higher than last year. The
goal is only two-thirds of the
1862 budget of $69,005.50. The
rest is to be raised by clinic
fees.
Cites 14-Year-Old
Results of inadequate care
and family planning are seer
daily at court, Judge Ketcham
said.
He told of 14-year-old Jimmy
whose parents said he was be-
yond control. His mother
worked during the day, and his
father at night, to provide fol
their IA children. Jimmy re-
sented being told what to do by
a 16-year-old sister, and ran
away from home, sometimes
roaming the streets for days
Judge Ketcham predicted more
serious trouble in the future.
Mark Sullivan, jr., former
District Commissioner and
newly elected president of the
United GiverS Fund, told the
luncheon at the YWCA that his
experience as a city head had
made him "distreSsingly ia
miller" with health and welfare
problems here.
One of the major problems is
created by large families, Mr..
Sullivan said.
Sees Many Benefits
There isn't any question in
my mind that planned, con-
trolled families will alleviate
distress, lessen burdens on city
government and ultimately pro-
duce better citizens and make
for a finer community" he
declared.
Mr.. Sullivan noted that in
the calendar year 1860, almost
As per cent of 6,3S8 mothers
delivered at D. C. General Hos
pital were having at least their
fourth child. For 315 mothers,
the birth was at least their
ninth child. Almost all were
medically INDECENT, he said.

chairman, praised Mr.. Sulli-
van for coming out publicly

ment during his service as a
