Bakery Czar Balks at Quiz Over Union Organizer Case
James G. Cross, head of the Bakery Workers Union, refused to answer Senate investigators about receiving any personal services from Kay Lower, a Los Angeles organizer with a police record. Cross described her as a secret organizer, said he paid $2,500 for cross country calls to her, and claimed the move was to spare the union embarrassment. He noted Lower's transfer between hotels, and committee questions about alleged $17,500 earnings and $39,000 in expenses were asserted but denied as legitimate.

Subcommittee scales Long Beach shipyard funding amid subsidence critique
The House Armed Services Committee backed only 1.5 million dollars in remedial subsidence work for Long Beach Naval Shipyard, rejecting the Navy's 4.6 million dollar request. A harsh subcommittee report urged no further spending without proof of ongoing preventative action, warning that operations could become impossible unless subsidence is slowed. Rep. Craig Hosmer argued the action is a warning to spur local and state measures, while the panel stressed the need for matched zeal in prevention and remedial efforts.
