WASHINGTON, R R- The pro- posed state of Alaska would be given the right to take over exist ing federal coal reserves and to claim lands now under oil and gas leases under a statehood bill approved by the Senate Interior Committee, it was learned today.
 The provisions for such mineral rights were among five changes approved by the committee yes terday when it voted to send the Alaska statehood legislation to the Senate for consideration. Word ing of the changes is now being worked out.
 Chairman Gordon of the Terri tories subcommittee declined yes terday to go into detail on the amendments to the bill
 However, a source, who asked not to be identified, said the pro- visions were the basis for asser- tions by committee members. that the present Alaska bill has been and represents a ''tre- mendous improvement over ear Her versions.

CZechs "Release'' U. s. Navy Vet
 After Five Years

MUNICH, Germany, R-A tri- umphant young American named John Hvasta headed home by plane today, the winner of a grim cat and mouse game with the Communist regime of Czechoslo- vakia that lasted five fantastic years.
 First a prisoner, then a fugitive, then a refugee sheltered for four months in the US. Embassy in Prague, the 26-year-old Czech born US. Navy veteran started catching up on freedom when a State Department car whipped him through the iron curtain at the Czech-German border yester- day.
 The full story of at least one phase - how he bounced from pillar to post as a hunted man in Czechoslovakia for 21 months, all ways one step ahead of his Red pursuerS-may never be publicly told. It could touch off a reign of terror against the anti Red Czechs who sheltered him.
 Like AP correspondent William N. Oatis, freed from Czech inn prisonment last May IT, Hvasta was accused by the Red regime of espionage. He was sentenced to 10 years. He had served 212 years when he took part in a five-man break from LeopoldoV prison near Bratislava early in 1852. Then came his 21 months as fugitive and four months in the Prague embassy, technically American soil, while diplomats dickered over his fate
 The Prague radio, skipping the details, reported he had been released" and ordered expelled.
 Hvasta left by plane for New York today, saying he would make no statement until he gets home.
 His parents are MT. and Mrs. Michael Hvasta of Hillside, N.J., like him naturalized citizens of the United States. The family came to the United States in 1939
 John Hvasta returned to Czech oslovakia in 1948 as student under the CT Bill of Rights at the University of Bratislava. He worked four months at the US. consulate general in Bratislava. But Czechoslovakia still consid- cred him a Czech citizen. He was arrested in October that year as a spy. The conviction came the following May.

Sandwich Board
Us Developed for
RemodeIing Jobs
By D. M. Derwin

If you want to panel a room
and don't know how to go about
the job. there's a new book out
that will help you-and it's free,
too.
This new booklet. containing
many items intended to inter-
est the home craftsman, should
be a must in the handyman's
do-it-yourself library. Prepared
and distributed by plywood
distributor. this book describes
an atwood panel. The plan
is a three-ply board Of balanced
sandwich construction consisting
Of a dense outer surface Of spe-
cially prepared wood veneer
flakes. a lower density core of
medium-sized chips. and an
other higher density layer of
flakes. These flakes and chips
are resin coated and impreg-
mated, and the three layers are
simultaneously formed and fused
together under heat and pres
sure.
This new panel is not a waste
wood product and should not be
confused with wood chip or fiber
boards. Since this paneling has
no grain, it is fiat, dimensionally
stable and practically free from
warp. Because of this, it is suit
able for sliding doors, core stock,
furniture, cupboard and cabinet
doors and partitions.
Chapters are included on
building sliding doors and kitch-
en- cabinets. Other chapters
cover building partitions and de-
tail in furniture making.

Herbert Morrison, who con-
ceivabIy may be the next
British Prime Minister, is in
America and will be speaking
at a number of meetings for
State of Israel bonds. Morri-
son is the man who took over
when Ernest BeVin, that re-
doubtable foe of Jewish Pal
estine, had to let go of the
Foreign Ministry because of
illness. One wonders what
Bevin would say if he knew
that his successor recently
visited the Jewish State and
speaks gloWingly of it!
How much water has flowed
over the dam in only six
years Bevin stood bullhead-
edly against Jewish immigra-
ton into Palestine. Perhaps
we owe him a debt. His relent-
less opposition only increased
the Jewish determination. In
stead of 100000 refugees COM
ing in, as was asked at the
time, a mighty stream of 700,-
900 poured into Palestine. To
day, the new State is a living
thing and Bevin whose name
figured so cOnSpicuouSly in
the headlines six years ago
is a forgotten man-forgotten
by those who fought him and
forgotten by the Arabs whose
cause he eSpoused.
1 have been reading Mr..
Morrison's stories about his
visit to Israel and one point
which he makes-a Sugges-
ton about a change in the
Knesset building interested
me particularly. The Israeli
parliament now sits in a tenn
pOrary building, and a new
permanent edifice is being
constructed to house it. Nor
rison thinks the new Chamber
of the KneSSet should be di-
ferently shaped. The present
chamber is shaped like a horse
shoe. Mr.. Morrison thinks it
should be like Englands
chamber, two-sided. The two
sided chamber, he thinks,
leads more naturally to a two
party system. The horseshoe
shape encourages members
going of by themselves and
forming splinter parties.
Coming at a time when Ben
Gurion has been deploring the
multiplicity of parties in Is
rael, the suggestion has spe-
cial force. Party splintering,
says Ben Gurion, exists in Is
rael to a degree found in no

1t is the Leagues feeling
that "Jews can never forget
their tragic history under

in order to live at all, how

lives anew. Germans, on the
other hand, in their daily acts

What is 1t besides an orderly
and systematic mind that makes
a collector? There has to be a
start somewhere. Rex Barry well
remembers his.
A 29-year-old bachelor living
in the Dorchester Apartments on
Sixteenth street, he has amassed
a scrap book on World War II
that fills SO volumes and stands
about feet high.
His start came in 1887. He was
"a 14-year-old boy in a Montreal
high school. His father, a Boston
1rishman. In the Foreign Service
of the State Department, had
married a French Canadian
woman and settled down as vice
consul in Montreal, a position he
held for 80 years.
One Of his teachers, Hugh
MacLennan, a well-known Cana
dian author; called young Rex's
attention to an item in a news
paper. A Princeton alumnus had

Now all he has to do is to
