Threat To Drop A-BOmb Near England Declared A Hoax

LONDON, R - A iobIess farm worker who was discharged by the Royal Air Force for mental instability said Saturday he signed his name and address to a letter saying a US pilot would drop an A-bomb near England.
 But the photostatic copy which the Soviet embassy released two days after receiving the letter was signed only "W."
 British newspapers suggested the Russians had pulled a politi- cal trick in publicizing the letter while knowing it to be hoax in order to serve their. proganda campaigns. In reporting it to the British foreign office, Sov- jet officials said it was "prob- ably a hoax" but didn't mention knowing the writer's name and address.
 A small-town British reporter tracked down the letter writer Friday He was William Stan ley Whales, 34, of Ipswich, who hasn't been near a warplane for almost a year.
 When police questioned Whales, he denied any political motive but said he only wanted to att tract attention to his grievances against the British government. Police let him go home without bringing any charges against him.
 Whales told newsmen he wrote Soviet Ambassador Jacob Malik three letters. One was the threat to drop an A-bomb, an- other protested his failure to get gratuity after the RAF discharged him and the third complained that the government had requi- sitioned his fathers farm.
 The letter as made public by the Russians seemed to come from US. airman who planned to drop an atomic bomb in the North Sea near Britain and then fly on to Russia to seek asylum. Maybe a few people would be killed but Russia's peace cam paign would get some support, the published letter said.

US. Hostages Held By Castro Stops Govt Air Attacks

GUANTANAMO, Cuba, R - Fidel Castro's rebels still held 36 US. citizens and one Canadian today Hope continued that the snail's pace of release would be speeded up.
 There were strong indications, however, that the rebels were in no hurry because the presence of Americans in the rebel camps has brought a halt to air attacks by the forces of President Full genSio Batista.
 Four American civilians and one Canadian were brought by US. Navy helicopter to the Guantanamo Naval Base yester- day. The rebels freed four Americans and a Canadian last Wednesday and three Americans Saturday night.
 One of those released yesterday said arrangements are being made to send trucks into the jungled mountains for the 30 US. sailors and marines kidnapped from near the Navy base.
 The motive for the kidnap- pings reportedly was to pressure the United States not to supply President Fulgencio Batista's for ces with fuel or ammunition.

Government Survey Says Death Rate of Smokers Is Higher Than NOn-SmOkerS

WASHINGTON, R - A much higher death rate among cigar cite smokers than nonsmokers is reported in a new government study of the deaths of 1882 veterans.
 The Public Health Service re- port, made public Saturday, is the first in a continuing study of nearly 100000 veterans. It said that in the veterans group studied the mortality rate among regu- lar cigarette smokers was 58 per cent greater than among non smokers.
 In general, the death rate of regular cigar smokers and pipe users was found not significantly higher than that of nonsmokers.
 Bulking together all tobacco users in the group, the study showed their death rate was 32 per cent bigger than those who have never smoked.
 A tobacco industry spokesman, challenging the study, said it ig nored all factors except tobacco smoking and admittedly in- cluded no clinical or laboratory research. '"

Design For
 New US. Flag Not Certain

WASHINGTON, tR -- The law says Alaska must have it's star in the flag of the United States, but it says nothing at all about how the, design shall be chosen for America's revamped banner
 The last law pertaining to the flag was enacted in 1913. It merely states a new star must be added for each new state by July 4 of the year following the states admission to the union
 Researchers at the Library of Congress have been searching records of 1912, the year the 47th and 18th stars were added for Arizona and New Mexico, to find precedents.
 A former Attorney General ruled that a new flag design could be accepted by executive action, but other information questions the validity of a Presidential de- cree for the country's flag.
 Over the years, the Quarter master Corps of the Army has been the agency designated to design of regimental and special flags. It also has become the traditional repository for designs proposing a new national flag.
 More than 200 flags with 49 stars-or drawings for them have been received by the Guar termaster Corps.
 Probably the flag designed by Kathryn and Sandra Heating oi Seattle will be turned over tC the Corps pending a decision, or the new flag.
 The Seattle girls flag wa sent to Delegate E. l.. Bartlet of Alaska for presentation to tn President when he signs tn Alaska statehood bill. The Pres ident's press secretary, Jame Hagerty, said the bill might no be signed before next week.
 Apparently, the President doe not plan any ceremony or tc sign the measure before wit nesses.
 Bartlett is planning to asl Congress to set up a commission for the selection of a new flal whenever a new state is added tt the union. Such a commission could be authorized by a resolu ton without all the red tape re quired by a bill.
 "The beauty of the Heating girls flag" Bartlett said, lis tha it leaves room for Hawaii-anC that star is sure to come nex year"

Girl Dies After Surgery;
Whole Town Prayed for Her

PLAINFIELD, N. j., June 7
(R.-Relatives of Donna Knott
got word today that the Swear
old girl had died in a Midwest
hospital a day after she under
went a delicate heart operation.
The news saddened this
community. The Mayor had
proclaimed yesterday as Donna
Knott day. Hundreds had re-
sponded with their prayers and
donations for the girl, a little
blond with bangs over her fore
head and known as Bunny to
her friends and family.
But she died at 1853 am.
(EDT), according to word re-
ceived by her aunt, Mrs. Allen
Caswell, jr., in nearby New
Market.
Doctors at the Mayo Clinic
in Rochester, Mimi, when
Bunny went there May 90, said
she was doomed to die before
she was 10 unless the opera
ton were a success.
They said she had a hole in
the wall of one of her hearts
chambers. The operation in
volved opening her chest and
stitching shut the hole.
Bunny was on the operating
table nearly six hours yester-
day. Surgeons discovered there

was not one hole in her heart
but two. one of the arteries
leading from the heart also
was dangerously narrow.
There also was the danger of
competition from shock and the
inadequacy of the narrow
artery.
He father, a Korean War
veteran, had used all his funds
to pay for Bunny's medical
care since her heart condition
was discovered two months
after she was born. At least
$4,000 was needed for this
operation.
The Veterans of Foreign
Wars post here raised that
much, and more. in a seven
hour telephone solicitation last
night.
Contributors crowded into the
VFW hall. Workers getting
off the night shift at factories
in the area stopped by and
dropped their money into the
big fish bowl.
When the drive ended, the
Bunny Knott Fund Committee
had raised $4,000 in cash with
several hundred dollars more
in pledges.
The money was in, but the
prayers continued.
