0U5TING OF
 MATTHEWS
 DEMANDED
Two Congressmen Now Seeking Kiek Out oi
 Secretary of Navy

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29-IR-Sec- retary of the Navy Matthews, calmly ignoring lawmakers de- mands that he quit, combed through a list of Admirals today seeking a successor to Louis Denfeld as Chiet of Naval operations.
 Matthews gave not the slightest indication that he intended to heed angry cries for his resignation from at least two members of Congress But he declined any comment on that or other statements from Con- gressional quarters.
 Denfeld's special assistant, Capt Walter Karig, told reporters he ex- poets the Admiral to retire from the Navy rather than take lesser post.
 Vehement assertions that Mat theWs should leave the Defense De- partment came from Senator KnoWland (R-Calif) and Rep Bates (R-Mass).

Disobedien(e Causes priesf's Jesuit0uSter

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. .29-lR- The Rev. Feeney, Roman Catholic author, lecturer and poet, was dis missed last night from the Jesuit Order in the latest move against him in a six-month- dispute.
 Rev. Feeney announced the dis missal himself. He said it was for alleged "disobedience."
 He was deprived of his priestly functions on Jan. by Archbishop Richard J. Gushing, head of the Boston Diocese, for approval of teachings of three Boston College lay professors that there is no sal- vation outside of the Catholic Church.
 The alleged "disobedience" in- volved Fr. Feeney's refusal in Sep tember, 1948, to accept transfer to Holy Cross College in Worcester, a Jesuit institution.
 Fr. Feeney said he. would con- tinue as Catholic Priest, loyal and devoted to the Church and to the Pope"

CLAIMS DUE FOR TROUBLE, MINER THINKS
NavigabIe Stream Law Is Cited by Sourdough Who
 Learned Hard Way

SEATTLE, Oct. 29.--R-An AL aska sourdough expressed the be- lief today that gold seekers can not legally maintain exclusive claims in the Fishwheel gold rusi area on the Yukon River.
 He cited decision of the Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco in support of his contention.
 Clyde D. Glass, who is wintering here after spending 27 years in the north as a miner, referred to de- cision last October by the Ninth Circuit Court that Territorial tide lands and the beds of navigabie streams never have been open to exclusive claims. It affirmed an Alaska District Court ruling.
 The decision involved Fred Dent in the Nome area.
 Glass said he ran into the same navigable stream difficulty on claims of his own on the Niukluk River
 "Supposin' it should develop into a strike, he commented. and sup posin' a lot of the boys have staked out claims. Their claims aren't worth the paper they're written on.

p R RESID E N I |Mp0UND5AIR FORCE MONEY
Signs Largest Peateiime Bill, But Says 58-Group
 Force Inconsistent

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29-LR- President Truman signed the largest military appropriation in peace time history today but impounded $615 100000 it carries to build the Air Force up to 58 groups.
 The measure carries a total of $15, 1885 .863, ,498 for operation of the Army, Navy, Air Corps, and Ma rines.
 In a statement the President said that Congress's action Tn increas- ing funds for the Air Force above his budget recommendation could have a serious effect on our ability to maintain balanced military forces in subsequent years"
 Declaring that the larger Air Force insisted upon by the House would be inconsistent with a realistic and talanced security pro- gram which we can support in peacetime," the President added:
 As additional aircraft authorized by the act were delivered, we should have to make corresponding provision for additional personnel to man them, for higher mainten- ance and operating cost and for greater replacement cost.
 "The present authorization for increased procurement would thus be merely the first step in an ex- banding program which would have to be supported by greatly in- creased appropriations in future years"
 In his budget recommendations earlier this year MT. Truman asked funds for an Air Force of some 48 groups. The Senate went along with the Presidents figure but the House insisted on appropriating for 58 groups. Just before Congress adjourned, the Senators yielded on this issue and provision for the larger Air Force went into the bill.

BOY CAUGHT IN (I5TERN;;
 5(00pED OUT

AUSTIN, Tex, Oct. 29.-iR- Slight scratches on the face and side were the only physical re- minders today that Bobby Andrew Gcw, tiny 3-year-old, was impris- oned three hours yesterday deep in an 8-inch cistern pipe.
 Bobby, whose 26- pound body dropped from view at PAS pm. just 50 feet from his back doorstep, was reported in good shape at Breckenridge Hospital.
 Maybe he owed his life to quick thinking 12-year-old Johnny Schne ider. It was Johnny who shouted the alarm when Bobby first fell into the abandoned pipe.
 Bremen and policemen were on the scene in 10 minutes. Civilian volunteers rolled in.
 A steam shovel went into action and less than three hours later Bobby was removed after the pipe was cut. When rescuers reached him, Bobby was standing on dry ground at depth of 18 feet.
 Bobby is one of three children of Mir and Mrs. James Cow, both 35. The father said he had covered the pipe and did not understand how the children had loosened the heavy cover.
