LONDON. May 5.-A British
pilot hero of World War known
as "the mad major" bade good
bye to the wild blue yonder today
by flying under a dozen Thames
bridges to the amazement of
London's millions.
He tipped along the river for
about nine miles, through the
heart of London. past the Houses
of Parliament and out into the
suburbs. Time after time he sent

Woman Saved
After Jumping
From Bridge

A woman jumped off the South
Capitol Street Bridge last night
after an argument with her hus-
band and then clung for more
than half an hour to a life ring
before she was rescued.
Police were notified by Bridge
Guard LaVern Pyles that the
woman had plunged off the
bridge into the water 40 feet
below.
She told police she had had
an argument with her husband
at their home.
The woman told police she
was sorry "as soon as I hit the
water" She was taken to Gal
linger Hospital for mental OBJ
Servation.
Mr.. Pyles, 60, of 4605 Twenty
fifth street, Mount Rainier, was
on duty in the bridge shack
when he heard a car stop on the
bridge about 12:40 am.
"She put her foot on the lower
rung and stepped up on the top
of the rail. She sort of hung
there for a few minutes and
went over head first" he said.
Mr.. Pyles went back to the
guard shack, called police and
grabbed a life ring.

she was still floating" he said.
Il climbed down as close to the
water as could. threw the life
ring and brought her in close to
a fender of the pier"
"She was about 8 feet below
me and I couldn't get to her so
we had to wait until the harbor
police arrived there"

PANMUNJOM. May 5.-The
United Nations command today
accused the Communists Of
throwing up a smoke screen in
the Korean truce talks and said
Red stalling "casts serious doubts
on their sincerity"
1t. Gen. William K. Harrison
insisted the allies could not agree
to Red demands that 5000 pris-
onerS who have spurned COM
munism be shipped to a neutral
Asian custodian.
Many would destroy them
selves rather than submit to re-
moval from Korea" the senior
allied delegate said.
The Reds refused again at q
59-minute session to commit
themselves on neutral custo-
dian.
The most Red truce delegates
would say was that allied nom-
ination Of Pakistan as a neutral
caretaker was worth welcom-
ing" They also insisted that
both sides first work out the
functions Of the neutral before
deciding on the nation itself.
Gen. Harrison told reporters
that the functions would apply
equally to any neutral and said

tory. At wars end, economists
estimated that about one-third
of the national property had
been destroyed. The country
faced staggering losses in hous-
ing. railroads and shipping. Its
agricultural production was
about one-third the prewar

Today, Italian production
stands at about 100 per cent If

chief Red negotiator, declared
the important question" is
whether unwilling prisoners shall
be sent to a neutral nation or
shall be turned over to the neu-
trail custodian in Korea.
Gen. Nam asked the U. N.
command to clarity these three
points:
/. What steps would the allies
take to remove military control
over the prisoners?
2. How would the U. N. COM
mand at the same time enable
the neutral to take control of
the POWs?
3. How would it maintain or

Gen. Harrison replied such
matters could be quickly solved
once agreement was reached On

will have parking for 1882 auto
mobiles, of which 790 spaces
will be under roof.

known as Arlington Towers. Over
period of four or five years, a
similar project has been under
discussion. Agreement of FILA
to assure financing will mean a
start within 80 days. an an
nouncement said. Units will
range in size from efficiencies to
three-bedroom apartments.
John McShain, Inc, has been
awarded the building contracts.

States Certain 10 Win Reed Voices Protest
Tide|ands With Easy Against By-passing'
Vote in Senate Today On Foreign Trade
Foes Concede Defect,
But Soy They'll Revive
Controversy in Future

The administration bill estab-
fishing State title to oil-rich sub
merged coastal lands is expected
to pass the Senate this afternoon
by a substantial majority.
After a battle which began
April l, the opponents conceded
defeat today in their fight to
sustain Supreme Court decisions
holding that the Federal Gov
ernment has the paramount in
terest in these lands.
But they served notice the
issue will be revived. either
through new court tests, or in
future political campaigns.
Closing Debate Limited.
The Senate met at noon with
an agreement for only two hours
of closing debate.
Modifying an earlier agree
ment, the Senate decided to al
low 10 minutes of debate on
each amendment remaining at 2
pm, which may put off passage
until late in the afternoon.
The House passed a more far
reaching bill in March, and the
differences will have to be ad-
! iusted in conference.
| Although there are Is or more
amendments on file, Senator
Humphrey, Democrat, of Mime
sofa, one of the opposition lead
ers, said only about a third OF
them would be pressed. He also
conceded the final vote would
be about the same as earlier test
ballots.
Indications were the opposition
would muster approximately sc
votes, with supporters of the
State-title bill claiming nearly
twice that number.
New Bill Coming Up.
There is no dispute over Fed
eral jurisdiction to the potential
oil reserves in the continental
shelf, out beyond State bulln-
daries, but a separate bill is being
prepared to clarity the admins
tration of the Federal area.
Senator Humphrey predicted
today. however, that after the
State-title bill passes, there will
be no further legislation at this
session.
He charged passage of the
pending bill will serve to remind
the people that the Republican
Party is the party of plunder.
He said the status of the SUBJ
merged lands will be an issue in
the 1854 congressional elections
Supporters of the bill say II
merely recognizes a jurisdiction
which the States exercised over
the submerged coastal lands for
$50 years before the recent DEM

lenged 1t in the courts.

House Leader Hits
Handling Of Proposal
For Commission Study
By Froncis P. DouqIos

Chairman Reed of the House
Ways and Means Committee pro-
tested bitterly today at what he
called the "bypassing" of his
committee in connection with
President Eisenhower's commits
sion for foreign trade policy
study.
He did not make it clear
whether he was blaming the
White House or the House lead
ership.
He said at one point that Gen.
Eisephower's letter to Speaker
Martin recommending the COM
mission was SO drawn, particu-
larly one carefully worded''
paragraph, that it was properly
referred to the House Foreign
Affairs Committee.
II would like a communica-
tion sent to the Speaker that
can be referred here" he said.
Later, he stated that on the
Senate side the Presidents letter
had been referred to the Senate
Finance Committee.
THAT would indicate we have
been deliberately by-passed on
this side" he cried.
His statements were made dur
ing the questioning Of Secretary
Of Commerce Weeks, the latest
cabinet witness before the COM
mittee.
Mr.. Weeks urged, as have the
others, a simple extension of the
Reciprocal Trade Act rather
than adoption of the Simpson
bill, which would restrict the
Presidents powers on tariff mat
ters.
Republican committee men,
bers generally took issue with
him. Democrats, however, con-
graduated him on his testimony,
even referring to it as states
