But, according to Mr..

to make the ABC board an

open the door to adoption OF
regulations by the board that
would favor the interests OF

Mr., Multer's position is that
the pattern throughout the

Macmillan Sickness
Clouds Party Future
Resignation
Considered
Almost Sure
BY CROSBY S. MOVES
Foreign correspondent Of me star

Foreign Correspondent Of The star
LONDON, Oct. 9.-The unex-
pected illness of Prime Minister
Macmillan has thrown the Con-
sentative Party into total con-
fusion and placed the question
of Britain's leadership entirely
up in the air.
The first reaction was that
Mr.. Macmillan now almost GER
tainly must resign.
A few hours before Mr.. Mac
milan entered the hospital for
an emergency prostate opera
ton last night, the problem Of
the Tory leadership had seemed
almost as good as settled.
The betting was strong that
Mr.. Macmillan had decided to
stay on as Prime Minister and
lead his party in the forthcom-
ing elections.
AS delegates to the Conserva-
tive Party conference gathered
at Blackpool yesterday, it
was announced fatty by Ian
Mcleod, joint party chairman
and leader of the House of
Commons, that Mr.. Macmillan
would announce his intentions
at a closing speech to the con-
ference Saturday night.
Meant He'd Stay
This was taken almost uni
versally to mean that Mr.. Mac
milan had decided to stay on.
If he had planned to resign
before the elections, no firm
announcement was expected at
this point. But the fact that
Mr.. Macmillan will now be out
of the picture for several
months" has completely upset
all these predictions. It is I'M
certain what announcement
if any-will be made Saturday.
The Prime Minister, SO, is to
undergo surgery tomorrow. He
has turned over leadership of
the government during his ILL
ness to r. A. Butler, chief Sec
Rotary Of state and deputy
Prime Minister.
Medical authorities said Mr..
Macmillan, who was taken to
King Edward Hospital for an
operation to remove a bladder
obstruction caused by an in
trinity Of the prostate gland,
may be laid up for three
months.
Macmillan's Successor
So far as some party leaders
were concerned, Mr.. Macmil-
lan's designation of Mr.. Butler
as his deputy indicates that
Mr.. Macmillan will now resign
and hand over party leadership
to him.
Others disagree entirely that
Mr.. Butler is the logical choice.
According to one minister,
the Prime Minister'S illness will
not have any effect on plans
for the immediate future. THE
decisions ultimately will de-
pend on the results of the OPP
Grafton" he said.
At the same time the party
conference at Blackpool for
mally opened today in an at
mosphere of almost complete
unreality.
Until the question Of leader
ship is settled once and for
alas is impossible at the mo-
mental other questions to be
discussed fade to very second
airy Importance.
Even before his illness, the
issue of whether Mr.. Macmillan
should stay or go dominated
political debate here. The
Prime Minister has been under
strong pressures. Decisions that
have been postponed, hedged
and evaded for months cannot
be put off much longer.
Mr.. Macmillan had almost
certainly intended to stay in
office until after the coming
debate in Parliament on Lord

Its supposed to be a mercy

Valachi told the Senate In
vestigations Subcommittee.
He said Moretti ruled a gang
of 40 to so men in New Jersey.
He was like independent. F"
Valachi said. HE had his own
little army"
"0ut of His Mind"
Valachi said Vito Genovese,
the man he has labeled the
biggest boss in the Cosa Notra
lineup, didn't like Moretti's
operation.
The Cosa Nostra bosses, Va
lachi said, began talking about
Moretti's being out of his mind
because of a syphilitic condi-
ton. Valachi said Moretti had
had mental troubles earlier, and
the syndicate had him cared
for until he recovered.
Nov they're talking about
hitting him." Valachi said. 1T
finally happened around 1851
that Willy Moretti was killed.
They expressed it that he
had lost his mind like they
was making us understand he
was hit"
Funeral Talked for Itself"
In fact. Valachi said, Geno-
veSe passed the word that If
he ever went out of his mind,
the mob should take care of
him. Valachi said the Cosa
NoStra bosses all agreed Mo-
retti should be killed.
After the job was done, he
said, Cosa Nostra didn't desert
Moretti. "The funeral talked
for itself. They had lots
of automobiles with flowers. /"
Valachi said the syndicate
took its time about getting
Moretti.
ut happened to be Johnny
Roberts and some other people
which I don't know had an
appointment with Willy early
in the morning, around 1851"
he said. Valachi said that's
when Moretti was slain.
He said the appointment was
at a restaurant near a place
called Dukes, in Palisades,
N. j.. which he said was a
Cosa Nostra hangout.
Narcotics Decree Recalled
RobertS-once Valachi'S part
ner in a loan shark operation
was one of them" that
killed Moretti, Valachi said.
Earlier, Valachi testified that
the Cosa Nostra bosses laid
down a rule against trafficking
in narcotics in 1857. He said
some money-hungry gangsters
violated the rule even at the
risk of death.
Under heavy guard as he
made his fifth appearance be-
fore the subcommittee, Valachi
said mob leaders in Chicago
paid their soldiers" a $200-a-
week subsidy to lay off han
ding narcotics.
