tive bargaining on individual rail-
roads.
The unions have not made
their demands. public.

Confusion in House Of Representatives
AS Puerto Ricans Shoot Congressman

WASHINGTON, R,-Rep. Alvin
Bentley RMich), most seriously
wounded among five Congress-
men shot down by fanatical gun
ners in the House chamber,
showed some gains early Tuesday.
In Jail few blocks away, the
leaders of the Puerto Rican pistol
wielders insisted they were not
sorry for the unprecedented out
break in the capitol Monday af-
ternOon.
Lolita Lebron, who claimed the
ringleader's role in a Jail inter
view, summed up: Il do what I
must for my country"
And Rafael Concel Miranda de-
clared: I'VE don't talk about the
little things"
Both had more to say about
Puerto Rican independence than
about the wild shooting that dis
rupted proceedings in the House.
Along with the two other Puer-
to Rican men-Andres F. Cordeo
and Irving Flores-they were held
in bail Of 100000 each On charges
of assault with intent to kill.
They face possible penalties Of
up to Is years in the case of each
wounded Congressman, or a pos
sible total Of rs years each-if all
the wounded survive The charge
would become murder, punishable
by death in the electric chair, if
one should die as a result Of their
wild outburst.
In addition to Bentley, the
wounded are Reps. Kenneth A.
Roberts DALAI, shot in the knee;
Ben F. Jensen (-Iowa, wounded
in the left shoulder; Clifford Da-
Wis D-Tenn), shot in the right leg,
and George H. Fallon, D-MdO, hit
in the hip.

Alaska Fare Reductions

WASHINGTON, Up - The Civil
Aeronautics Board Tuesday sus-
pended until June % additional
proposed reductions of airline
fares in Alaska and between AL
aska and the Pacific Northwest
The board said the proposed
new fares may be lower than can
be justified by costs of providing
the service, and may adversely
affect the passenger revenues of
airlines operating between the
United States and Alaska.
Last week the board took sim
liar action against fare reductions
proposed locally by Alaska Air
lines, and jointly by Alaska, Nor

BOeing Go. Unveils 95-Ton, 4-Jet
Swept-Wing $50 mph Transport

SEATTLE, pa jet-propelled
challenge to British and Ameri-
can planemakers-a 550-mile-an-
hour aerial giant-has been taken
from under its veil of secrecy by
the Boeing Airplane Co.
The 95-ton swept wing, 4-jet
airplane was shown yesterday as
it neared completion in the
sprawling plant of the company
which also builds the Air Forces
BAT and B-52 bombers.
1t was know how gained in
building the bombers that made
it possible for Boeing to be so
near completion Of the prototype
Of what it hopes will be the
worlds commercial carrier Of the
future, said William M. Allen,
president Of the company.
But, he stressed, the IS to 16
million dollars spent in develop
ing the 7O7-trade name for the
airliner-came from Boeing's cof-
fers and was a gamble made in
the interest of "our own national
welfare, both military and COM
mercial."
The first 7O7 won't fly until
possibly early in September, AL
len said, and production Of planes
for sale is three years away. But,

MitrOvich Enroute
To Japan as Guest
OF Industrialists

JUNEAU, Up - Sitka's mayor
MS. Duke Mitrovich says she
believes without a doubt that
Japanese pulp interests will build
a pulp and paper mill in Sitka."
Mitrovich stopped here yester-
day enroute to Japan where he
will spend two weeks as a guest
Of japanese industrialists who are
believed to be contemplating pro-
duction Of pulp in Alaska.
The mayor said he was sure
the Japanese would have a saw
mill in operation at Sitka next
summer but couldn't predict how
soon the pulp mill would start
producing.
He said the deal is being finan-
ced by II companies in Japan
who will get additional financing
help from the Export Import
Bank Of Japan.
However, at Anchorage, An
chorage Chamber of Commerce
officials announced yesterday the
indefinite postponement of a
goodwill mission to Japan.
Nine Anchorage residents and
the Sitka mayor had been sched-
uled to leave Thursday on a two
week tour.
''Under the circumstances, it
just seems like the wrong time
of year to attempt this trip" the
Chamber officials statement said.
"We feel it will be better to
postpone the tour date until we
can get more people together
The trip had been promoted by
the Anchorage Chamber in coop
Grafton with the japanese govern
ment. The intent was to promote
Alaska-Japanese trade.

Bartlett Hopeful Of
Extension of Alaska's
Public Works Program

WASHINGTON, Delegate
Bartlett said today he is hopeful
Of an early hearing by the Sen
ate Interior Committee on his bill
to extend the life Of the Alaska
Public Works program.
The Alaskan bill, which would
continue the program until June
80, 1859, was passed unanimously
by the House earlier this week.
The Public Works program was
set up in 1949 with Congress au-
thorizing appropriation of 70 mil
lion dollars to finance schools,
water projects and other COM
munity developments works in
Alaska on a matching basis.
Although the program present
ly is scheduled to expire in June
1855, actual appropriations total
only slightly more than Al mil
lion dollars.
Bartlett's bill would not in
crease the appropriation but
would merely extend for four
years the time in which Alaskan
communities could become elig-
ible to participate.

More Relief For
Bristol Bay Area
On The Way

ANCHORAGE, R-More assist
ance in the way of surplus food
and funds for purchase of other
supplies is on the way for the
distressed families of the Bristol
Bay area, Alaska Civil Defense
Director Harold E. Pomeroy said
Monday.
Pomeroy said the request came
from Territorial Secretary Waino
Hendrickson, who has been handl-
ing the relief shipments with the
cooperation of the Alaska Air
Command.
Pomeroy said the additional
food supplies, including meat,
cheese, powdered milk, shorten
ing and butter are now in Seattle
and will be distributed in the
Bristol Bay area within 80 days.
However, Gov. Heintzleman has
made arrangements in Washing
ton, DC, Pomeroy said, for the
purchase Of items not included in
the shipment, especially flour and
sugar.
The money will be made avail
able this coming week, he said,
but did not indicate where the
money is coming from.

will give them a stable jump-off
on other American manufacturers
because they said, no other air
plane builder in the United States
has progressed as far with jet
airlinerS.
Only De Haviland Of England
has commercial jet in the air
and Allen said he was confident
the English Comet" will be no
match for Boeing's giant.
The company said it couldn't
for competitive reasons give firm
figures for performance of the
707 but admitted it would fly
from 1000 to 5000 miles, carry
ing from 125 to $50 passengers
while cruising along at an alti-
tude of $4,000 feet land up"
Its four jet engines develop the
equivalent of 10000 horsepower
each at sea level and twice as
much at $4,000 feet. The fuselage
is 1923 feet long and its wing
spread 100 feet.
Allen said the company hopes
for some military orders, too, as
the plane is, in his words, ideally
suited to serve as a tanker for
the big 8-jet B-52 and 6-jet BAT.
Airlines ordering one of the
planes will pay "at least $3,0OO,-
600" for it, Boeing said.

Ike Hits Out At disregard
OF Standards OF Fair PLAY"
In Congressional Investigations

WASHINGTON, Up President
Eisenhower hit out today at "dis-
regard of the standards of fair
play" in Congressional investiga-
tons, and declared that no one
in the armed forces is required to
submit "to any kind Of personal
humiliation" before investigating
committees.
Eisenhower said in a statement
read to news conference that Gin
opposing Communism, we are de-
feating ourselves if either by de-
sign or through carelessness we
use methods that do not conform
to the American sense of justice
and fair play"
The President did not mention
Sen. Mccarthy R-WiS by name,
but there could be no doubt he
was aiming at him, for the Presi-
dent coupled his remarks about
Congressional investigations with
praise for Brigadier General Ralph
Zwicker.
1t was McCarthy's treatment Of
Zwicker, commandant at Camp
Kilmer, Nj, which touched off
the heated row of the last two
weeks between Mccarthy and
Secretary Of the Army Robert T.
Stevens.
The President said the Depart
ment Of the Army had made "ser-
ious errors" in promoting and
giving an honorable discharge to
Maj. Irving Peress, New York
dentist who refused to say wheth-
er he was Communist when be-
fore Mccarthy.
Mccarthy later called Zwicker
for questioning about Peress and,
in a heated session behind closed
doors, told the general at one
point that he was not fit to wear
his uniform.
This brought from Stevens a
denunciation of 'abuse" of Army
officers.
Eisenhower took another indi-
rect swipeg at Mccarthy in reply
ing to the first question put to
him when he finished reading his
prepared statement.
The President was asked for
comment on McCarthy's demand
for u explanation of why R. w.
Scott Mcleod was stripped of his
hiring firing authority by Secre-
tary of State Dulles.
Eisenhower shot back that the
responsibility for administrative
assignments within any particu-
lar department is the sole respon-
sibility of the head of the depart
ment and no one else.
Mccarthy called last night for
moratorium on statements be
tween him and his critics.
