He asked Congress to place a $lOO limit on the amount of foreign goods which re turning travelers may bring into the country without paying customs duties. The present Socialist Victory Troubles Frondizi BUENOS AIRES, Argentina {/!*) —The victory of a Commu nist-backed Socialist in Sunday’s senatorial election in Buenos Aires may force President Arturo Fron dizi to relax his stern austerity program. j That was the privately ex pressed view of government offi-; cials yesterday as returns built up the margin of Socialist Alfred P.alacio. Frondizi had hoped for a public vote of confidence. The figures showed that since last year’s congressional elections, the Argentine Socialists had picked up about 160,000 votes in this capital. Among the new-found supporter.-, were Communists and young admirers of Cuba’s Prime Minister Fidel Castro. Both groups demonstrated happily when Pa lacio took an early lead. Palacio, now 80, who repeated ly enounced “Yankee imperial-' ism." will be the only opposition voice in the 46-member Senate, dominated by Frondizi’s intransi gent Radical Union party. Frondizi’s candidate, incumbent Sen. Armando Turano, ran a poor! third behind Nicolas Romano of! the People’s Radical party, a lib eral center group. Nearly complete returns from the Interior Ministry gave these results: Palacio 308,301, Romano 301.047 and Turano 240.427. Pa lacio polled 160.000 more votes than he did when he ran for the House last year. Pa. Employment Suffers Losses HARRISBURG (/P) Unem ployment in Pennsylvania rose 52,000 to a total of 433,000 work ers between mid-November and mid-December, the Bureau of Em ployment Security reported yes terday. Total employment dropped 16,- 500 to an estimated 4,205,900 in the period, a time when seasonal improvements normally result in an increase of 25,000 jobs, the bureau added. “An appreciable part of the job loss was due to the effects of crippling snowstorms which swept across the state and drastically curtailed construction activity,” the bureau said.- Some employment upturns were noted in non-manufacturing in dustries and among the self-em ployed and domestic workers. Cyclist to Wear Helmets PARIS t/P) The new safety measure effective July 1 requires riders of motorcycles and motor ized bicycle in France to wear crash helmets. maximum is $5OO. Kennedy also proposed, in a 4.500-word special message, that American banks be permitted to pay foreign governments a higher, rate of interest than Americans receive on savings accounts. He said this might encourage these governments to deposit their dol lars here rather than use them to buy gold. For he most part, other items in the President's program to ! deal with the worrisome gold j drain represented an expansion | of measures initialed by former I President Dwight D. Eisenhow- I er. ! Like Eisenhower, Kennedy also ! promised to promote exports, en ! courage visits by foreign tourists, [restricted military and foreign [spending abroad, and maintain j the price of gold at $35 an ounce. He also said Secretary of the Treasury Doug- las Dillon will re- port to him by !April 1 on | whether the tax laws should be 'changed to dis- courage certain kinds of private Sinvestment in Western Europe He added that She will submit John F. Kcnnidy Slegislation to block Americans from avoiding federal taxes through the use of foreign “tax havens." Officials said he referred to special tax breaks now available in such countries as Panama and Switz erland. Kennedy asserted that the gold drain justifies concern but not panic or alarm. He said the United Slates has time in which to attack the problem calmly and deliberately. Because of the wide range of subjects covered, the Senate took the unusual step of referring Ken nedy’s message to three different committees: Foreign Relations, Finance and Banking. The President’s proposals gen erally found favir with Republi cans as well as Democrats in Congress. Some members in both parties said they thought even further steps will be needed. During the last six months, for eigners have bought a record $2 billion of U.S. gold, reducing the American supply to a 22-year low of $17.4 billion. They were able to do this because the U.S. balance of payments deficit gave them a supply of extra dollars. Local Ad Staff MEETING This is the initial meet ing of the new semes ter.

PENNSYLVANIA Committee OK's Abolishment Of Death Penalty HARRISBURG (/P) A propos al to abolish the death penalty in Pennsylvania received committee approval in the house last night. The action cleared the measure for a possible full airing by the legislature, but probably not be fore next week. Chairman Louis J. Leonard, (D- Allegheny), of the House Judici ary-special Committee, said the proposal was cleared unanimously by his 15-member group. Rep. Francis Worley, (R.Adams), a longtime advocate of abolition, said he could not predict at this stage what the measure’s chances are of passage. Worley said he would prefer to see the issue put to a public hear ing rather than see it go down to defeat in the House. Rep. Albert W. Johnson, Mc- Kean, former Republican floor leader, said he is opposed to elimi nation of the death penalty “in this era when there is so much international lawlessness as well as domestic crimes of a violent nature that call for capital pun ishment." Polaris Test Ends In Flaming Death CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (/P) —The second stage of a Polaris missile sailed like a flaming pin wheel over the cape yesterday, then crashed to the ground in a spectacular failure. There were no injuries or serious damage. When the countdown on the 31- foot missile reached zero, the up per stage suddenly spurted sev eral hundred feet into the air, leaving the first stage on the pad, shotting fire from both ends. The upper section cartwheeled over and over, showering flaming fragments back onto the cape. It was feared at first that the errant rocket might have landed near heavy traffic. 7 Executives Jailed In Antitrust Case PHILADELPHIA (l P) Seven executives of giant elec tric companies—described as “organization" men by the judge —were sentenced to 30-day jail terms yesterday for federal antitrust violations. The jail terms—a rarity in antitrust cases—were imposed along with fines totaling $827,500 against 21 companies and $109,- 000 against 36 individuals. A de fense lawyer said individuals would pay their own fines. Nineteen defendants wero given 30-day suspended sen tences and placed on five years' probation; Most held less impor tant executive positions than those who were sent to jail. In all, 32 corporations which make up virtually every large manufacturer of electrical equip ment in the country and 48 of their executives were to appear before Judge J. Cullen Ganey in U.S. District Court. So many were involved that sentencing may not be completed before to morrow. Companies include Gen eral Electric and Westinghouse, the nation’s largest electrical firms. Ganey, in a presentencing state ment, called the indictments for price fixing and bid rigging “a shocking indictment of a vast segment of our economy.” As for individual defendants. Ganey said he was "convinced that in the great number of these defendant cases, they were torn between conscience and an approved corporate policy, with the rewarding objectives of pro motion, comfortable security and large salaries in short, the organization or the company man, the conformist who goes along with his superiors and finds balm for his conscience in additional comforts and the security of his place in the cor porate set up.” There were 72 pleas of guilty and 89 of no defense to 20 indict ments for fixing prices and rig ging bids at secret meetings.

FEBRUARY 7. 1961 Innocent' Men Are Put on Trial ROME (/PI Three men, pro testing innocence, went on trial yesteeday for murder in what po lice called a perfect crime al most including alibis too good to be true. Police said only painstaking sleuthing kept Giovanni Fenaroli, 52, Carlo Inzolia, 29, and Raoul Ghiani, 30, from getting away with murder. The victim was Fenaroli’s wife, Maria, 48, who was strangled in the Fenaroli Rome apartment the night of Sept. 10, 1958. All that night Fenaroli was in Milan on a business trip, and he could prove it. Police charge that in a phone call Fenaroli told his wife a friend would be calling at the apartment to deliver a package. They said that friend was Ghiani employed in a Milan factory'. They also said Mrs. Fenaroli let Ghiani in, and he strangled her and took some jewelry. But Ghiani had an alibi almost as good as Fenaroli’s. He could prove he worked all day Sept. 10 at the factory in Milan where he was employed. Police say he bought plane tickets that would have gotten him here that night after he fin ished work. Witnesses were found who claim they saw Ghiani on the stairs in the Fenaroli apartment house the night of the killing.
