Planes Collide,
Killing Four

FLINT. Mich, May II R.-
-Four persons were killed last
night when two planes from a
private flying service collided 400
feet above ground near Flint's
Bishop Airport.
The dead included Dale Hath,
35. owner and flying instructor
for Flint Aeronautical Sales &
Service. He was giving a lesson
in one plane to George Solomon,
%. of Flint.
Occupants of the other plane
were Air Force 1t. Victor Fonda,
81, of Kankakee. ILL.,, and his
aunt, Mrs. Dorothy Hoffman, 80.
Of Flint. 1t. Fonda had rented
the plane from Mr.. Hath earlier
in the day and was taking Mrs.
Hoffman on a cruise over Flint.
Airport authorities said one of
the planes had just taken of
from Bishop Airport, 2l2 miles
northeast of the crash, and the
other was preparing to land. The
pilots apparently failed to see
each others plane.
1t. Fonda. who was on leave
from an Air Force base in Green
land, had come here with his
bride, Sandra, after their mar
riage in Miami, Fla, May S. The
couple planned to visit later in
Kankakee.

Posing Of Peron Sparks
Argentine Red ACTIVITY

Soviet violinist Leonid Hogan
recently wound up a well-pub-
licized series of performances
here. Last month a group OF
eight Argentines left for a three
week visit to Russia. Russian
movies are shown from time to
time in commercial theaters and
are reported entering the coun-
try in greater volume.
The Russian Embassy has
changed its slick Spanish Ian
guage magazine from a monthly
to a weekly and offers thick sup
plements for two pesos (about 4
cents) each. Publication of Com
munist-line books, magazines
and newspapers has scared de-
spite the governments an
nouncement several months ago
that the major Red publications
had been closed.
Diplomatic sources say that
the Big Three of the Argentine
Community Party-Victorio Co.
Rodolfo Ghioldi and Vic
tor Larralde-attended the re-
cent Community Party Congress
in Moscow. DR.. Benito Maria
nette, prominent Mendoza Com
munist leader, also was in Rus
STA at that time. the informants
said.
Former President Juan D.
Peron kept the Communists I'M
der tight control-as he did all
opponents.

BUENOS AIRES, May IT (P.
You can buy new Russian
car in Argentina.
You also can shop for Czech
trucks and Hungarian factory
machinery.
And if you are curious about
life in the Soviet Union. Soviet
cultural center will be happy
to explain all about it.
Indications are that Russia
has opened a trade and cultural
offensive to win friends and Gus
toners in this southern hemis-
phere country of 10 million. The
drive apparently is a direct fol-
lowup of the economic lure
dangled before Latin America
recently by Soviet Premier
Bulganin.
Marshal Bulganin told an in
terviewer his government is
ready to furnish technical aid
and more trade to Latin America.
He cited as likely Soviet exports
industrial equipment, timber.
oil, cement. chemical products
and agricultural machinery. He
said Russia would take numerous
diverse atin-American products.
Soviet Autos Appear
An outfit called "Moskvich
Argentina" with an announced
capital of 2la million pesos
(around $52,500l has opened a
swank showroom in Buenos
Aires. The firm bills itself as lex
elusive distributors in the Ar
gentine Republic of Soviet auto
mobiles and trucks Moskvich and
Maz-200."
The Moskvich, small four
door sedan with a 32-horsepower
4-cylinder engine, is advertised
to sell for 142,700 pesos. That's
around $4,000 at the present
free market exchange rate. The
firms Maz-200 truck is listed at
297,700 pesos approximately
$6,250).
Such prices sound high but
the cars are the cheapest for
sale in Argentina. Similar small
cars from other European coun-
tries cost about 1000 more than
the Moskvich. Bigger United
States Fords and Chevrolets run
around $500. nearly three times
the price for the Russian runa-
bout.
The Russians have installed
cultural centers in at least nine
of Argentina's major cities.
These sponsor lecturers. pub
locations. movies and other forms
of propaganda. The center in
Mendoza also gives Russian Ian
guage courses.
Attache on Tour
The Commercial Attache at
the Czech Embassy. Karel AL
masy. toured the country's in
terror in March. At Tucuman he
promised local businessmen his
Communist government stands
ready to supply Argentina with
machinery and other needed
goods.

Textile Union

The Textile Workers Union of
America today was to hear ad-
dresses by Senator Gore. Demo-
Icrat of Tennessee. and Walter p.
Reuther, president. United Auto
Workers. after voting to drive
ahead in organizing the $50. 900
Iunorganized workers in the in
dustry. The convention is meet
ing at the Sheraton Park Hotel.
A resolution adopted at yes
terday's session said: I'VE have
built the largest textile union
the Nation has ever known but
we have not succeeded in bring
ing the benefits of unionism to
the majority of textile workers.
There are some $4,000 tex
tile workers in the Nation, Off
Gals said, both organized and
unorganized.
The convention was told there
are now unions in 1856 plants
where none existed two years
ago.
william Pollock, executive vice
president Of the union, told the
convention it is ready to put
I$250.000 into a voluntary fund to
bring organization to these hun
dreds of thousands of workers in
our industry" He said this would
be raised by 81 contribution per
member.
The target particularly would
be the Southeastern States. Mr.
Pollock said I'VE must crack the
big chain mills" and declared 1--WE
must never stop until we have
organized every textile worker in
the United States and Canada"
George Meany. AFL-CIO pres
ident. told the convention he
holds out early hope of united,
organized textile union, to be
formed by the combined CLIO and
AFL unions.

have a good chance Of success.
Land is expensive. excise taxes
high cigarettes are IS cents a
pack) and imports bring $4,000
Cadillacs to between $1,000
$4,000. The cost of living is
about one-fifth higher than on
the mainland.
Raw Materials Scarce
Most workers have to be
trained, although some COM
panies say their ability to learn
is amazing. Natural raw ma
terials are scarce. Despite those
disadvantages. such American
organizations as R e mington
Rand, International Latex,
Proctor Electric and Hilton Ho-
tells bask in freedo mfrom profits
taxes.
The government is trying to
build industry here because the
population has grown so fast
that even with a huge migration
to the mainland, support cannot
be maintained from the land.
The addition of new plants is
already helping Puerto Ricans to
support themselves better. In
come averages $2.170 a wear
compared with $500 before
World War II.
Under Gov. Munoz' leadership,
industrialization has proceeded
at a steady rate. He expects
another big week some time in
1865 when the 800th new plant
opens.
Mr.. Moscoso predicted 2,499
plants by 1875. but Gov. Munoz
declined to be so precise.
Wants Standards Raised
my goal is to bring the Puerto
Rican standard of living up to
that of the United States in
1880" he said. and gazed once
more at the birds nest.
A yellow-breasted reinita dis
covered a few weeks ago that
door between the Governors
office and a BALCONY was open.
The bird began building a nest
in the chandelier, dangling
straws and grasses from every
crystal.
The Governor ordered the
nest left alone.

suffering from housing short

State Moves
To Investigate
NewsHundIino

HARRISBURG. Pa, May II
R.-The Pennsylvania House of
Representatives has approved a
resolution calling for a legisla-
tive investigation of newspaper
reporting.
The resolution. passed last
might and sent to the State Sem
ate. directs the Joint State Gov
eminent Commission to make a
study and to prepare legislation
based on the findings.
The measure was proposed
after extensive newspaper cover
age last October of the trial Of
three persons for an abortion
death in Philadelphia.
The measure states:
Ear too often is the liberty
and property, even life itself Of
individuals. prejudiced by ir-
responsible and prejudiced news
reporting of criminal prosecu-
tons and litigations in our
courts of justice"
Noting that courts are estab-
lished to bring an offender to
justice by due course of law.
the resolution states that these
functions are seriously inter-
fered with by inaccurate and in
complete newspaper coverage
prejudging merits without bene-
fit of application of legal prin-
ciples."
The resolution was introduced
after the trial of Mr.. and Mrs.
Milton Schwartz and Mrs. Her.
man Silver for the abortion
death of Mrs. Silver's daughter,
Mrs. Doris Silver Ostreicher,
food chain heiress. Mrs. Silver
received a suspended sentence
and the others prison terms All
were accused of performing or
conspiracy to perform an abor-
ton.
Philadelphia newspapers gave
the case blanket coverage before
and during the trial.
The news probe resolution was
adopted previously in the State
Senate. The omnibus resolution
approved by the House now must
be adopted by the Senate.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico. May
|17.-Luis Munoz Marin sat be-
hind his desk In La Fortaleza,
the governors palace. gazed up
at the birds nest in the crystal
chandelier. and agreed this was
Ia pretty big week in his life. He
had planned 1t that way.
Officially, this is "Bootstrap
Week" on the island. It might
better be called Jackpot Week
because the Puerto Rico economy
is gaining 20 new plants, rang
ing from brassiere factory at
Crolina to a So million General
Electric circuit-breaker plant at
Palmar.
I'VE never had so many new
plants in one week BEFORE" Gov.
Munoz said.
The 20 brings to 400 the num-
Der of new operating plants on
the island since Operation
Bootstrap" began in 1947. Even
more important, the plants open
ing this week promise to bring
industrial income level with
agricultural income for the first
time in the islands 433-year
history.
Taxes Waived
The plants are here because
the government valves taxes for
10 years on the profits of desir-
able corporations and because
the wage scale is low. Sugar
workers are paid 41-42 cents an
hour.
The Commonwealth Legisla-
ture is considering law to es-
tablish a minimum of 81 an hour
in about 20 of the more pros
porous industries.
A few highly skilled workers
make almost as much as similar
workers in the continental
United States, but the general
average is something less than
65 cents an hour.
There are some drawbacks to
operating in Puerto Rico. In
addition to the 400 now operat-
ing, about 100 plants started and
stopped within the last 10 years.

Advisory Council Urges
Hospital Bed Increase

On July /, 1854, the civilian
population was estimated to bt
$4,000, which would allow the
District $500 general hospital
beds. After planned construc-
ton is completed. it is expected
that the District will have q
total of 4,268 hospital beds-57s
in excess of the standard for.
mula.
The council, however, point:
out that about IS or 40 per cent
of all patients in District hos.
pitfalls do not live here. Thus
the council said. there will &C.
tually be a shortage of some
1000 beds under the Hill Burton
allowance.
Move Cuts Beds
The council pointed out that
with the moving of Providence
and Sibley Hospitals, the South
east sections will have only l8C
beds at Casualty Hospital anc
so beds at Hadley Hospital.
Henry Gavins. secretary Of
the council. pointed out that the
Federal standards were set uI
for States which have both urban
and rural areas. The fact thai
the District is only urban makes
a difference, he said.
1 Other recommendations of the
council, which advises the Com
missioners who in turn report tt
the Public Health Service, in.
clude:
l. That three of the four new
health centers proposed under
the Public Works Program bt
scrapped temporarily and thai
only a Northwest Health Center
be scheduled. This would bs
located in the area of Rhode
Island avenue and Sixth street
NV and would serve as a cen.
trail clinic for the entire city.
Chronic Disease Hospital
2. That a voluntary chronic
disease hospital of from 300 tt
400 beds be built near the Wash.
lngton Hospital Center now un.
der construction on the Soldiers
Home grounds.
! The council pointed out thai
although there are 81 rehabili.
tation units scattered through
out the District. only four meet
the major requirements of the
Halliburton formula. The foul
units meeting standards are Dis
trict General, Georgetown Uni
versity, George Washington Uni.
versity and Glenn Dale Hospitals
8. Because of a shortage OF
GA beds in nursing homes. under
the Halliburton formula, the
council recommended that a
nursing home be built on a site
adjacent to the proposed South
east Hospital when it is con-
Istructed. 1t added that it would
accept applications for nursing
home projects in nearby Mary
land and Virginia. providing they
meet the needs of District resi-
dents.
Changing Problem
4. That, because the .tubercu-
losis problem in the District is
changing, leaving many vacant
beds, no additional construction
be made.
