Bill Opposes Sending
Troops To Fight
Without Congress- Vote

WASHINGTON IN, - Any Presi-
dent sending American armed
forces into conflict abroad without
congressional authority would face
impeachment under legislation pro-
posed today.
The only exception, under con-
current resolution drawn by Rep.
Berry (R.-S.D.), would be in cases
where American lives are in dang
er.
Such a resolution would have to
be passed by majority vote of
each house to make it an official
statement of Congress views.

They Stumbled Into
A Settlement
A Settlement

BOGOTA, Columbia R-Six wild
and bearded convicts who escaped
tropical jungle prison camp
said today they killed, broiled and
ate seventh companion-the fat
test one--and were planning to eat
another when they stumbled into
a settlement and surrendered.
Their confession was reported
by Horacio Rosero Caicedo. direc-
tor OF the National Territories De-
partment of the Interior Ministry.
The men wandered 38 days
through treacherous swamps and
Jungle inhabited almost solely by
snakes, beasts and wild natives.
Eating their plumpest companion,
they said, was the only way they
could get strength to escape the
jungle.
The Araracuara Prison Colony
they fled is on the Caqueta River.
an Amazon tributary which rises
in the Andes and flows eastward
into the wilds of Brazil.
AT Araracuara, there are no
walls or fences. Authorities rely
on its almost impenetrable sur
reundings, its long distance from
all civilization and the prospect
OF tofturous hardships to prevent
escapes.
But the hopeless existence in the
jungle prison leads many to try
it.
Authorities said IS had fled in
small groups during the last two
months. TO prepare for it, inmates
hoard their rations for a meager
food supply in the jungle. They
almost always are totally I'M
armed and have little chance to
succeed.
Some are never seen again after
they slip into the jungle.
Those who are recaptured face
longer sentences under closer con-
finement ~ in the same jungle
camp.

 Mrs. Malin went to Anchorage by train Monday with the family and the rest of Seward. Of the train ride. she says, It was like riding through Iairyland. l just couldn't keep my eyes off the scenery" It is the most won dcrful natural scenery she has ever been through, Mrs. Malin cXcIaims.
 What imprcsses her most in Alaska is the cheerfulness of the people. Back home, she says, if il rains or the weather is bad, folks just don't go places, but here no one seems to mind. They take it as matter of course and do what they have planned to do, anyway. "Why, I looked around on that train, speaking of the Anchorage trip, "When the train was held up in the middle of nowhere in big snow storm. If that had been back home people would have been almost in panic, but you people didn't mind it at all. Everybody was having a good time, never minding the lateness of the hour or beng marooned. It made no difference.
 Mrs. Malin will spend Christ mas in Seward before returning East.
