 Business Booming, Owners Claim ssa

KANSAS CITY, R--Dog; own CTS by the hundreds are enrolling their pooches in 'tCanine Shield" hot new item in the insurance business and the first medical care plan on a national scope de- voted exclusively to non-humans.
 The project was launched only five months ago by two veteran Kansas City insurance men, Rich ard R. Nelson and Gordon R. Reabe. s8a
 Today, the founding fathers re- ported, Canine Shield" boasts some 5000 agents and several hundred active policies" In Reabe's words, "the influx is just beginning. The response has been fantastic, and not only in this country. We've had inquiries from as far away as New Zealand" There being no acturial tables on pooches, Rebe. and Nelson who own a boxer and a poodle had to start somewhat in the dark. But the policies as originally for mulated are working well, they said. These provide medical care and hospital insurance for dogs be- tween six months and 10 years of age, providing payments of up to $75 per disqualification for an an- nual premium of about $15.

Escape Try <. .vo. Ends in Death
 Of Two Convicts

MONTGOMERY, Ala.,y R-Ki1- by Prison officials yesterday con- sidered filing manslaughter charges against two convicts who escaped Wednesday in a dump truck carrying 28 other prisoners.
 After a wild chase with a guard shooting at the tires from a pursuing truck, the truckload of maximum security" convicts overturned. Two of the passen- gers were killed and 13 injured, one seriously.
 Guards rounded up the group without trouble and returned them to the state prison just out side Montgomery.
 Deputy Prison Director Frank Lee said questioning of the 30 would continue but officials be- lieved only two convicts were re- sponsible for the bold bid for freedom. They held the trusty truck driver at knife point in the brief dash.
 "We don't feel like this was a concentrated move to make a break" Lee said. "The rest of the men on the truck were sort ot victims of circumstances"

MANIA, RLAmerican military negotiators have asked the Phil ippines for land to establish an early warning radar network against air attack and to con struct strategic dispersal airstrips.
 The US. team said it was pre- pared to turn back to the Philip pines considerably more acreage than we will need to complete the modernization of the base com plex in the Philippines"
 The American proposals were made Wednesday during meet ing of the U.S.-Philippine panels discussing the modernization of American bases here under the terms of the military bases agree ment between the two nations. The talks have been going on for two weeks.
 The proposed locations of the radar stations were not disclosed, but it was understood they would extend from the sparsely populat- ed Batanes Islands off northern Luzon to Mindanao Island in the south.

Russian Doubts
.Froqmun Story

MOSCOW, Sunday, May IS (H).
Russian admiral who COM
manded a squadron that took
Soviet leaders to Britain said
today he doubted Britain's ex-
PLANTATION of the missing frog
man episode as given in a note
to the Soviet government ex-
pressing regrets.
Rear Admiral v. F. Kotov. the
Soviet commander, said in an
interview with Pravda that the
British explanation was "by no
means convincing"
Admiral Kotov told Pravda:
ION April 10. at 1880 pm,
three sailors from the destroyer
Sovershenny, moored alongside
the cruiser Ordzhonikidze in
Portsmouth Harbor. noticed a
diver in a black, lightweight div
ing suit on the surface of the
water between two Soviet de-
Istroyers.
ION his head he wore a mask
with a rectangular slit for the
eyes. On his feet were rubber
flippers.
For some time the diver re-
manned on the surface, face up
wards. then he submerged by
the hull of the destroyer Smotry-
ashchy, lying alongside the de-
istroyer Sovershenny. 1t was clear
the diver was moving from the
cruiser Ordzhonikidze, moored to
the quay.
Soon afterward in a private
talk in Portsmouth at the Of
f1cers Club April 81, informed
the chief of staff of the Ports
mouth naval base, Rear Admiral
Burnett. of the occurrence and
requested him to explain the
reason for the presence of the
diver near the Soviet vessels.
I'm spite of the obvious facts,
Rear Admiral Burnett alleged
that no diver could appear in
that area Of the port since the
Portsmouth diving school at
Vernon was not operating at that
time and its personnel was on
leave. According to him there
were no other divers in the port"
