minor ones capture Garfield's en-
thusiasm.
One of these was his recent inter-
view session with $50 high school
and prep school press representa-
tives, a mass meeting which the
actor enjoyed more than his ques-
tioners.
Anyone who thinks kids don't
know their movies should be where
I was" Garfield says. They are
faster at spotting the phoney than
even they realize. Their questions
were keen and I think I learned
more from them than the young
sters did from me-"
One of the first queries flung at
Garfield was, whether he thought
actors should participate in politics
His answer was that actors were
citizens and that they had no more
right to evade their responsibilities
than any other class. His interroga-
tors agreed with him that such
evasion was the quickest way to
become a bad citizen.
II guess I hedged on one thing,
Garfield says. THAT was when
they starting asking me who was
my favortte movie actress, and
actor. I asked them, right back
'Favorite' In what way?' After all
everybody has players who are favo-
rites this, and favorites that. ]

swer it. However, 1t occurred to
them as quickly as 1t did to me
that such questions are sort Of

Senate Committee Gives CO-Ahead To Alaska Airports

WASHINGTON, -(P) A Sen ate Commerce subcommittee un- animously endorsed legislation to authorize construction of commer- cial airports at Anchorage and Fairbanks, Alaska, at a total cost of $13,OOO,OOO.
 The subcommittee action was announced by chairman Capehart R-IndD. The bill must still be approved by the full committee before it can go to the Senate floor.
 Capehart said the sub-commit- tee also unanimously approved an international aviation facili- ties bill introduced by Senator Brewster R-MeD. It would place on a permanent basis the air traf- fife and weather control stations now operated by the U. s. out side the continental limits. The Indiana Senator said in a statement that approval of the two projects followed a full study of the importance of both to na- tional defense.
 Commercial aircraft now use army facilities at both Alaska communities. The contemplated airport at Anchorage would cost S8,000,000 and the Fairbanks air port $5,OOO,OOO. The funds will have to be appropriated in sep arate legislation.
 The House has approved the Anchorage project, but is still con sidering the Fairbanks construc- ton.

SEATTLE, -(P) Engineering activity resumed at the strike closed Boeing Aircraft plant here today as the walkout of nearly l5,000 union workers went into it's second day.
 Only handful of pickets pat rolled the gates of the big plant and adjacent air field as an es- timated 5000 or more engineers, office workers and supervisors entered their offices.
 The company estimated only 800 were on duty yesterday after they had been instructed to stay home unless called individually.
 But the calls were multiplied today to step up office and en- gineering activity to near nor nal pace.
 There WSre mo indications, however, of any settlement soon of the dispute which brought the walkout shortly after midnight yesterday. The points of deadlock were demand of the Aeronaut- ical Mechanics Union 0nd.) for a 30-cent hourly pay increase, disagreement over arbitration pro- cedure proposals and union in- sistence on retention of seniority provisions.

Holy Land Takes Center Of Inter. National Stage.
UNDATED INTERNATIONAL

PALESTINE Jews occupied two more Arab villages between Je- rusalem and Tel Aviv today while Haganah consolidated the control it wrested in a swift attack on the port city of Haifa.
 The attacks apparently were aimed at protecting the Jewish food lifeline between coastal Tel Aviv and the Jewish community of Jerusalem.
 Haifa officials said 105 Arabs were killed yesterday in the Jew ish militia's attack, which struck after British forces withdrew from all but the port area. Other re- ports said four Haganah men were killed. Arabs last night pre- pared to usher in the passover week tonight, the United Nations political committee again took up the palestine question. The United States is reported to have aband- oned plans to call for a special international police force for Pal estine. However, the Americans are believed ready to insist upon creation of a truce commission to carry out the Security Councils cease fire order of a week ago.
 King Abdullah of Trans-Jordan urged Arab nations yesterday to send their armies into Palestine to battle the Jews as soon as the British give up their League of Nations mandate May Is.
 Washington officials are study ing the possibility that Europe's Communists may be compelled to shift tactics because of their set back in the Italian elections.

Civil Contempt
 Charge Postponed

WASHINGTON, -(P) Judge T. Alan Goldsborough today post poned indefinitely any further contempt penalty against John L. Lewis and the United Mine Workers union.
 Goldsborough accepted a gov ernment recommendation that he impose no further punishment at this time.
 Assistant attorney general Ora ham Morrison said no useful pur- pose could be accomplished by new fines against Lewis and the union now.
 Last Wednesday, Goldsborough fined Lewis $1O,OOO personally and the UNIV $1,4OO,OOO for criminal contempt of court. The contempt finding was based on their dis regard of an April 3, court order to stop the coal strike.
 There was also a finding by | the judge that Lewis and the union were guilty of civil con- tempt.
 Today's court session was for sentencing on the civil contempt charge.
 Morrison told Goldsborough that 85 per cent or more of the soft coal miners have returned to the pits.
 Therefore, Morrison said, he moved that a civil contempt sent ence be put off indefinitely ' 1 The judge agreed.
 Morrison said the government is quite happy" over the back tc work movement in the coal fields Judge Goldsborough said "The court is more than happy to know that the normal situation is being restored"
 "The court postpones indefin- itely any sentence for civil con- tempt"
 "All right gentlemen" Colds borough said without looking to- ward Lewis, who was in his ac- customed place, "the matter is disposed of, and this court is ad- journed."
 Speculation before the session was that Goldsborough would let Lewis off easy this time since most of the 100000 members of his union are back at work.
