latlon, which authorizes Sc
million. $4,000 capacity stadium
to be built near the Armory, on
East Capitol street. The project,
to be under control of the Dis
trict Armory Board, is to be
financed by bonds and to be self
liquidating.
Mr.. Mclaughlin said today
that the proposed detailed study,
to be financed by a $35. 900 grant
from the Housing and Home
Finance Agency, might show
that the project actually is not
feasible. The House District
Committee itself. in backing the
bill, conceded this possibility.
Questions Raised
District officials today raised
a number of questions about
the House-passed bill. which
was sponsored by Representa-
tive Harris. Democrat of Arkan-
sas. and also about an amend
ment tackled on yesterday by
Representative Gross. Repub-
lican of Iowa.
Mr.. Gross amendment re-
quires that the Armory Board
reimburse the Federal Govern
ment for Government land used
by the stadium.
District Committee spokesman
did not object to Mr.. Gross
amendment yesterday. But COM
mittee sources pointed out that
the Government land actually
was acquired with the. stadium
in mind and that it had not
been intended that there should
be any reimbursement.
This matter is expected to be
ironed out after the Senate has
acted on the bill and it comes
to conference.

Iended a secret visit to Budapest.
Minister of State Gyoergy Ma
rosan. the Hungarian Commu-
mist Party strongman. said there
will be an unceasing fight
against "all signs of counter
revolution.
In both a newspaper article
and a speech broadcast by Ra-
'dio Budapest from the industrial
town of Komlo, Mr.. Marosan de-
clared Hungary can have only
"a one-party government-the
government of the Communist
Party.
Protection Cited
He said the Soviet Union
crushed the revolt in Hungary
for protection of the working
class and socialist achievements. :"
The Hungarian people will
cooperate only with those who
do not deny the leading role to
the Hungarian Communists, !"
Mr. Marosan said.
Mr.. Marosan's statements fol-
lowed quickly revelation in Mos
COW that Mr.. Khrushchev, for
Imer Soviet Premier Georgi Ma
lenkov and Communist satellite
leaders had visited Budapest this
week for talks with the Janos
Kadar government.
Mr.. MaroSan said that al
though Mr.. Kadar is looking for
cooperation with other political
parties, lit must be definitely
established that the working
class can and will have only one
party"
This doubtless is a blow to
Hungarians who had expected
that Mr.. Kadar in policy state

mist press would lay the ground
work for a coalition government
including non-Communists.

fighting and this temporarily
bolstered the meat supply.
Uranimum Situation
The official press announced
Hungary is currently examin-
ing" or reconsidering. its con-
tracts with Russia concerning
exploitation of the Hungarian
uranimum mines. One of the
major demands of the revolu-
tionaries was that Hungary re-
gain control of these mines and
be free to sell their output to
the West for hard currency in

PA Asks Again For Direct Route To Far East

WASHINGTON R-Pan Amer ican World Airways today asked the Civil Aeronautics Board for a review of it's request for access to Seattle and Portland in competi- tion with Northwest Airlines on the direct great circle route to the Far East.
 Pan American contended that the age of "pure jet commercial transportation" which it will start in less than three years demands the discontinuance of restrictions on the US. transpacific service" !"
 "The intercontinental jets that make ponds out of oceans would be wasted on island-hopping," PAA said. This would deprive the public and the government of the efficient services the airline is capable of"
 The jet is expected to operate nonstop between Tokyo and Se- attle but the 800 to 1,200 added miles to California would prevent nonstop operations.

TITO'S VISIT TO AMERICA CALLED OFF

BELGRADE R-Yugoslavia to- day announced that President Tito, flor the time being" will not visit the United States.
 In making this announcement, a government spokesman, Branko Draskovic, disclosed for the first time officially that the govern ments of the US. and Yugoslavia had agreed on a Tito visit to Washington, DC.
 But it's off now, said Drasko- vic, because of "the conditions and atmosphere" in the United States. These conditions, he said, make it appear "the time for such a visit is not as yet ripe"
 This clearly referred to out spoken opposition in Congress to a Tito visit. One congressman, Rep. O'Konski R-Wis) threat ened to resign if Tito came to Washington. Others, such as Sen. Douglas D-IlD, threatened to boycott any Tito speech before Congress. A bipartisan group of House leaders urged the Eisen- hover Administration not to in- vite. the Yugoslav President.

ACTING GOV. HENDRICKSON GIVES STERN FINANCE MESSAGE TO ALASKA LEGISLATURE

JUNEAU R-Acting Gov. Wai- no Hendrickson spoke dollars and cents today in stern and historic message to a joint session of the Alaska Legislature.
 Returning before the 23rd Leg islature which he had convened Monday in his duties as secretary of Alaska, the 60-year-old Hen drickson said 'tthe -eyes of Wash ington are, as never before, fo- cused upon Alaska and upon our actions here"
 In his 4,200-word message, he urged the territory's t16 senators and 24 representatives to provide for Alaska,s development without resort to new taxes.
 More People and Industries
 Hendrickson, who became the only acting governor in Alaska's history to deliver the biennial message to the Legislature, sug- gested instead "a broader tax base for collecting revenue-more people and more productive in dustries."
 We cannot attract population and industries by erecting high tax barriers" Hendrickson said, land recommend that you care

fully study our laws with regard to tax incentives for new indus trial enterprises.
 No Major New Industries
 Henderson pointed to the con- tinued growth of the territory, but added: "We must Z. face the fact that during the past bienni- um not a single major industrial installation has commenced oper- ations in Alaska
 He reported that the territory has a surplus in the treasury 'fbut the picture is not as bright as it was two years ago." At the end of 1854, he said, thore was a net cash balance of just under $5 million in the general fund. By the end of 1856 this balance had dropped to just slightly over three million dollars"
 Unbalance in Finance
 This "unbalance in our terri torial finance" the acting gov ernor said, came at time when Alaska's "tax revenues reached the highest levels in history"
 The increase in revenues was due, he said, almost entirely to the increased tax rates imposed by the 1855 Legislature.

Proposal Would Enable Skilled Military People To Be Paid for Ability

WASHINGTON, RAThe De- fense Department is considering proposals that would enable skilled and dedicated military people to be paid more for ability, regardless of length of service.
 Present premium pay for length of service would be dropped, but provisions would be included to prevent a pay cut for anyone now in service.
 The proposals were made by a committee appointed by Secre- tary of Defense Wilson to devise additional ways to encourage good men to join and stay in the armed forces.
 The proposed new system would encourage the services to weed out men with poor or mediocre ability who would otherwise try to stay in "soft spots in the ser vices and be content to let the passage of years bring them auto matic pay increases.

FLORENCE, Ariz. RATom Sis son, who was the oldest inmate in the state prison when he died last week at 86, left an estate of al most $10,O0O. He willed the mon ey to fellow prisoner.
 Former Warden Ava Weaver, the executor of Sisson's estate, said yesterday the money was saved by "Old Tom" from a pen sion he earned as US. Army Indian scout in the 1880s.
 Sisson was sentenced to a life term in 1918 for his part in the murder of three officers who at tempted to arrest Tom and John Powers in a mountain hideaway for World War I draft lodging.
