Without a ripple of excite
ment or argument, the House
today passed the Districts rec
ord $146.3 million supply bill for
the next fiscal year and sent it
to the Senate.
Today's action required no
more than two minutes as the
final action was recorded after
a voice vote.
Representative Powell, Demo-
crat, Of New York, who is COL
ored. had attempted yesterday to
write into the bill an amend
ment forbidding the use Of any
money for any District agency
where practices Of racial Segre-
CATION were followed-such as in
the schools and the Fire De-
partment and welfare institu-
tions.
Passage Was Delayed.
The bill would have been
passed yesterday except that
Mr.. Powell insisted on a reading
Of an engrossed copy Of the bill,
meaning the final reprinting Of
the measure. It was indicated
today he would seek to have the
bill sent back to the Appropria-
tions Committee with instruc-
tions to write in the anti-segre-
cation amendment.
But when the House met at
noon today, he did not have the
right to first recognition, be-
cause this goes to ranking
minority party members of the
committee.
Representative Norrell, DEM
ocrat, Of Arkansas, ranking mi
nority member of the subcom-
mittee in charge of the bill, was
recognized and moved to re-
commit the bill without instruc-
tionS. It was a pro forma mo-
ton and Speaker Martin ruled
that it had lost. The bill then
was passed with only a few of
the members present bothering
to vote.
Goes to Senate.
The measure now goes to the
Senate. where hearings are ex-
pected to be started about the
middle of the month after Sen
ator Dirksen, Republican, Of Il
linois, chairman of the subcom-
mittee in charge, returns from
q trip to the Far East.
Yesterday, the bill weathered
another test, when the House
knocked down a move to slice
50 million of the full $12 mil
lion Federal payment. This was
attempted by Representative
Cederberg, Republican, Of Michi-
gan, a freshman member. after
consulting on the House floor
with Chairman Taber Of the full

tee.

Senator jackson, Democrat, of

Mr.. Coe If he had been engaged

said Mr.. Coe replied that he had
not been, but that the witness
invoked protection Of Fifth

II he had engaged in such &C
tivitieS on December 1.
Mr.. Coe was a witness before
the Senate Internal Security sub
committee last December / in
New York.
AS a result of his refusal to
answer questions there, he was
fired by the monetary fund two
days later.
TeIephoned Attorney.
In talking with reporters, Mr..
Coe cleared up the mystery of
his whereabouts during the last
two months by saying he visited
Canada, the Caribbean and Mex
leo looking for job"
The slender, moustached
economist said he was in Mexico
City when he read a newspaper
story saying the subcommittee
had asked the FBI's help in To-
eating him and that he was
regarded as a fugitive.
Within an hour after reading
the story, Mr.. Coe said he tele-
phoned his New York attorney.
Milton H. Friedman, and in
Strurcted him to arrange for
him to appear before the SUBJ

KATMANDU, Nepal, Junee 3.
The intrepid British led
mountain climbers who scaled
the worlds -tallest mountain last
week for the first time were re-
ported today on their way down
the perilous slopes Of Mount
Everest. It probably will be sew
eral weeks before they reach
civilization to tell the full story.
AS the world cheered the news
that two Of the 15-man team
had planted Britain's Union
Jack (and presumably Nepal's
nag, also) on the icy summit as
a coronation gift to Queen Eliz-
abeth II. the climbers huddled
below the peak and celebrated
the monarch's crowning yester-
day with a toast to her.
Runners Bring Word.
Word that the team led by
Col. John Hunt had succeeded
was brought by native runners
speeding in relays from Everest's
deSolate heights.
The message said that Edward
Hillary, a New Zealand bee
keeper, and the famous guide
from Nepal's Sherpa tribe,
Bhutia CTiger) Tensing, had
finally reached the icy summit
above $4,000 feet on May 29.J 1t
was the party's third try. The
intense cold and fierce storms
that swirl around Mount Ev-
erest's slopes had beaten back
10 other expeditions in 80 years.
Streams of congratulatory
messages poured into this Ne
palese royal capital for relay to
the climbers.
Guide to Be Rewarded.
Nepal will reward the Nepalese
guide "in q manner befltting his
amazing, supreme sacrifice, -
Nepalese Ambassador Mai. Gen.
Bijaya Shumshere said in New

He did not specify what form
the reward would take, but an
embassy spokesman said reports
that the government planned a

Trapped in the cab Of their
Diesel locomotive, Engineer
George A. Schelhorn and Fire
man H. w. Sublett, both Of Alex

workers arrived.
Traffic Stopped for Hours.
The first section Of the loco
motive splintered the cabooSe.
which came to rest atop the
Diesel. The wreckage covered
the southbound track, stopping
traffic both ways along the
Southern main line for several
hours.
None of the IL PullmanS or
coaches left the track when the
accident occurred at 6:25 am.
Most Of the injured pas
sengers were thrown to the floor
and shaken up, although some
suffered cuts and bruises.
Southern officials were at 4
loss to explain the accident and
an investigation was under way.
Despite extent Of the damage,
officials estimated the passenger
train was moving at only 10 miles
an hour at the time of the i'm
pact.
Injured Are Listed.

Southern officials said the
wreck occurred this way: A
northbound Southern freight
train was working on the main
line, switching cars on and of,

halted until the other train pro-
ceeded.

Signal Flashed.
When the Peach Queen" ap.
preached, an automatic red grade
signal was flashed. Under rail-
road rules, the passenger train
was permitted to advance
through the signal at a reduced
rate Of speed, which customarily
is about 10 miles an hour at
Manassas.
Why the train did not stop be-
fore the crash was a mystery.
One official said the preliminary
investigation would indicate the
brakes were functioning properly,
but any guess would be sheer
speculation.
Conductor J. G. Mehanes Of
Gordonsville, Va. riding alone in

duce sufficient aircraft for the
143 wings proposed by the Tru-
man administration.
The Secretary and Mai. Gen.
o. s. Picher. director of program
ming, differed on the effects of
the budget reductions. The ques-
ton was whether the Air Force
could have achieved 1873 wings by
July, 1854, as planned in the
Truman BUDGET.
Mr.. Talbot told the subcom-
mittee:
II don't think we could have
gotten the 1873 wings" even if the
Truman budget had not been
scaled down by more than IS bill
lion by President Eisenhower.
Uniform Figures Asked.
But Gen. Picher said:
Il don't think we would have
any great difficulty" He said
maybe his crystal ball" was
more optimistic than Mr.. Tai
bolts.
At one point, Senator Smith.
Republican, Of Maine said she
was confused and suggested that
military and civilian chiefs at
the Pentagon get together on
one set OF figures to present to
the Congress and the public,
Mr.. Talbot insisted on several
occasions that the 143-wing pro-
gram had not been abandoned
but was subject to a review by
the new Joint Chiefs of STAFF
this fall. He said the Air Force
could mot intelIigently" make
more contracts for future de-
livery than provided in the
Eisenhower budget.
Mr.. Talbot said the restudy
OF all defense plans and goals

development Of atomic and other
new weapons.

whether our goal is 143 wings.
or some other figure, we should
know in less than six months. :"
he added.
The Secretary placed Air Force
strength today at 106 wings, of
which SO are operational. He
said this will climb to not less
than ITO wings by July of next
year and 120 by December, 1855.
AS Mr.. Talbot spoke, Gen.
HOyt s. Vandenberg waited to
tell the Senators a 143-wing Air
Force was the minimum neces-
sary for national security.
Associates of the Air Force
Chief Of Staff, whose term ex-
pireS June 80, said he was pre-
pared to oppose the administra-
tion'S interim goal Of 12O wings.
A wing consists Of from 80 to IS
planes.
Would Cut ManpOWer.
Secretary of Defense Wilson,
who will testify tomorrow, has
said no fighters and bombers
will be eliminated under his pro-
gram, but that 1,150 transports,
trainers, helicopterS, etc. will be
taken out Of the program.
The program also calls for a
reduction in Air Force overhead
and non-combatant personnel to
bring the manpower total down
to $4,000 by June 80, 1854, and
915, 900 by June 80, 1855. There
are now 975,0 900 uniformed per-
sonnel in the Air Force.
Base construction would be cut
back. Plans to build IA big bases
already have been dropped.
Gen. j. Lawton Collins, Army
Chief Of Staff, made some
guarded references to the effect
Of these reductions in testimony
yesterday. The Army would re-
ceive SIS billion more than un-
der the Truman plan but the
$13.6 billion includes $2.5 bill
lion to continue the Korean war.
