Baltic Yields More
Possible Clues 10
Fate Of u. 5. Plane
BY. the Associated Press

STOCKHOLM, Sweden. April
24.-Three more possible clues to
the fate of the missing United
States Navy patrol plane-an-
other raft. a radio call sign book
and a lettered piece of wood
were found floating in the Baltic
over the week end.
The radio book and the un-
painted piece of wood stamped
with black lettering in English
were found yesterday on Baltic
Island beach just off the southeast
coast Of Sweden. The raft was
picked up by fishermen Saturday
Swedish officials said all of these
possibly may belong to the plane
which the United States says was
shot down with it's crew of 10 by
Russian fighters over the Baltic
two weeks ago. A Swedish coast
guard official said the raft looked
as if it had been hit by bullets"
Found Near Swedish Coast.
The clues, plus another raft
picked up by a British freighter
last week, all were found near the
Swedish coast and some 200 miles
away from the Latvian coast

Britain Proposes U. 5.
Take Over Burden
In Southwest Asia
by the Assoeicied Press

The British government has
proposed that the United States
take over a big share of Britain's
economic burden in India, PAX
istan and Southeast Asia.
Officials disclosed today the
British Embassy has put forward
this idea in an exploratory" pro-
posal now under consideration by
high administration officials.
The British plan would call for
the United States to pay off in
dollars to such countries as India
and Pakistan part of Britain's 50
billion wartime debH to sterling
bloc nations.
The main idea behind the sug-
gested program is to help non-
Communist countries in Asia fight
off communism while at the same
time ease the huge debt which is
jeopardizing Britain's economic
comeback.
The British memorandum stems
from last falls Americana British
Canadian dollar crisis talks. At
that time. it was decided to
examine the sterling debt and
other economic problems to deter
mine what steps could be taken.
The United States long has been
urging Britain to get it's creditors
to agree to scale down these debts.
But the countries like India which
need financial aid have resisted
this.
Informed officials said the Brit
iSh paper is the first concrete pro-
posal of what might be done even
though it is highly tentative and
intended mainly for discussion.

where the Russians claim their
fighters returned the fire of an
American bomber which had
flown over their territory on an
Espionage" mission.
The punctured raft was turned
over to American authorities for
further investigation. The radio
book and the piece of wood were
to be turned over today.
The Russian charges of espio-
mage are highlighted by a report
In a Berlin newspaper that the
Soviet-held coast of Latvia, Es-
tonia and Lithuania on the Baltic
is bristling with radar defense sys-
TENS. submarine pens and rocket
launching ramps.
Purge Reported Carried Out.
Baltic refugees in Sweden were
quoted yesterday by the official
American newspaper in Berlin as
saying the Russians are waging a
purge among the populace along
this strategic coastline in an at
tempt to rout out possible anti
Soviet fifth columnists.
Nationals in the area, said the
newspaper Neue Zeitung, are being
resettled in the interior by the
items of thousands" and Russian
farmers have been settled in the
vacated lands.
The United States has fatty
denied that any of its planes have
flown over these east Baltic lands
which Russia took over during
the war. The United States,
however, has never recognized the
Soviet Unions right to hold these
countries.

that some would want to know
even if they were not gamblers.
Mr.. Coy acknowledged that
people vicariously play the races
in their own minds.
Capehart Favors Proposal.
Senator Capehart, Republican
of Indiana. told Mr.. Coy that the
FEC proposal makes much more
sense than. the Attorney Gen
erals bill"
II don't see why the Attorney
General wants to pass the buck
to the FEC on enforcement of this
law" Senator Capehart added.
Senator Mcfarland told MIR
Coy he could understand why
neither the FEC nor the Attorney
General wanted the full response
bility after the Justice Depart
ment's experience in trying 10 en-
force Prohibition.
The subcommittee chairman
said his group might adopt 9
combination of the two oils OF
one or the other or neither OF
them.
Burden on FEC, Coy Says.
Mr.. Coy complained that the
bill proposed by the Justice De.
partment placed the burden o.
enforcing an anti-gambling sta.
tute entirely on the shoulders o1
the FEC and on the communica'
tions industry it regulates.
Objecting to the bill on the
grounds of vagueness, he wanted
to know where the line. could be
drawn as to what type of informa.

Pointing out that In betting or
baseball games the odds f1uctuate
inning by inning and relate te
such questions as how many hits
a team viii make in a particula,
inning, Mr.. Coy said:
For such betting the informa-
ton required by the gamblers and
bookmakers is the information as
to the progress Of the game itself
which is also of independent news
interest to many persons who have
no interest in betting whatsoever.
He said it therefore seemed clear
that the ban in the present bill
against information assisting ir
the placing of bets could include
all the information on ball games
Evasion Is Feared.
Mr.. Coy also contended that 6
large part Of the information usec
by gamblers comes from sucf
printed publications as scratch
sheets and daily racing form!
which. under the present bill
would be exempted from its prohi.
bitionS,
Mr.. Coy predicted that under
the present bill, the gamblers il
is aimed at would evade it's prohi.
bitions by rapidly changing the
names of their organizations anc
the entire process of getting evi.
dence of illegal use would have Il
be repeated over and over again.
Senders Should be PenaIized.
He contended that information
on betting odds and prices pai6
"cleary have no independent news
value other than with respect te
gambling" Therefore. he said
newspapers and radio stations
could not argue that they were
victims of illegal censorship.
He also contended that the
senders of prohibited information
should be penalized. The substi-
tute bill offered by the FEC would
make the Transmission of infor-
nation on betting odds and prices
a crime punishable by a fine OF
not more than $1,000 and a year
in jail.
Mr.. Coy cautioned the Senators
that Congress in setting up a new
class of prohibited conduct should
be sure that such conduct is
spelled out in clear, unmistakable
language.
Admits Departure From Role.
He said he could foresee that II
the pending bill were enacted the
FEC would become "hopelessly
involved" in long. drawnout pro-
ceedings to set up the proper rules

Rofts Partially inflated
When Found in Baltic

FRANKFURT, Germany, April
"a (P).-United States Air Force
officials said today two life RATS
found in the Baltic Sea and be-
lieved to be from the missing
United States Navy Privateer were
partially inflated at the time they
were picked up.
There was no official comment,
but this was taken to mean that
some of the crew of the missing
plane were alive when it hit the
water.
One raft was found by a British
freighter last week and was turned
over to American authorities. Air
Force officials said the second
raft was in a sealed pack and
would not be opened until it
reached the Privateer's home base
at Port Lyautey, Morocco, where
the Navy will examine it. This
is the raft described in Stockholm
dispatches as looking like it had
been hit by bullets.

multitude of proceedings on
whether the telephone or tele-
graph company was justified in
refusing service to a user.
In taking the position I do on
this legislation" Mr.. Coy told the
subcommittee. Il realize that I am
not playing true to the role that
is commonly expected of the bu-
reaucrat and that my reluctance
to accept broad delegations of
authority may be regarded in some
quarters as anomalous.
IF I am not playing my ex-
pected. role in true form, I will
perhaps be forgiven on the plea
that I may be oversensitive to the
need to do many other jobs
which come under the heading of
unfinished business. And remind
ers of some of these jobs from
quarters remote and not so remote
are not infrequent."
War Time Study Submitted.
Mr.. Coy put in the record a
study made by the FEC during
the war on the extent to which
communications facilities were
then being used for the rapid dis
semination of racing information
for gambling purposes. The COM
mission was seeking to find out
what affect this use of the facili-
ties had on the nations wartime
communications service. In ac-
cepting the report, Senator Nc
Farland said the testimony the
subcommittee has already heard
indicates a great many Of the con-
ditions found at the time of the
survey exist today.
Next witnesses scheduled to be
heard by the subcommittee when
it resumes hearings Wednesday
are the telephone and telegraph
companies.
Senator Mcfarland said the
subcommittee possibly will also
hear witnesses from the Continen-
tai Press Service. the Nation-Wid
wire service that various witnesses
have testified served gambling in
terests. Senator Mcfarland said
he has received a telegram from

Russian territory is "arousing

Senator Cain, during debate on
