Bomb Explodes, Killing Bearer At Wichita Airport

WICHITA, Kan, R - A make shift bomb exploded in the lobby of Wichita's multimillion- dollar Municipal Airport today, killing its bearer.
 Police Chief Eugene Pond saih the blast victim was Forest Don McCustion, Tulsa, Okla.
 The mans right hand had been blown off at the wrist, and the body mangled by the force of the blast.
 No other casualties were re- ported immediately. Dozens of windows were shattered but there was no fire. 4 Mrs. Joann Embree, clerk for a car rental firm, witnessed the blast and said she narrowly es- capped picking up the bomb a few seconds before it exploded.
 Mrs. Embree said McCustion ap- preached her counter and asked for change for quarter.
 q gave him the change and watched him make a brief tele- phone call," she said.
 After the phone call, McCustion came back to the car rental desk and asked Mrs. Embree where he could find the lost-and- found de- pertinent.
 Mrs. Ernbree gave him direc- tions, and he placed a brown paper-wrapped package and a leather brief case on the counter.
 She said she reached out to take the package and actually touched it when McCustion said, mo-" and grabbed the brief case and package, then walked away.
 Mrs Embree said he had walked about 40 feet when the bomb ex- ploded.
 Pond said every available man was immediately placed on the case. The FBI also was at the scene.

Uncontrolled Oil Fire In Gulf

NEW ORLEANS, R = Explo- sions, followed by fire, demolished a multi-million dollar offshore oil prodution platform, killed one crewman and sent 21 others to hospitals Wednesday night.
 Seven others were unaccounted for in an inferno in the Gulf of Mexico, 60 miles south of New Orleans. Five, possibly all six, oil wells clustered under the plat form, burned uncontrolled.
 The workmen were hurled or jumped from the platform, 50 feet above the 50-foot-deep water. Survivors were picked up by sur face craft and taken to a nearby undamaged platform where they were picked up by helicopters and brought to hospitals.
 There was no official explana- ton for the blast.

TRAGIC HAWAIIAN AIR OPERATION

HONOLULU, R Two Air Force jet fighter planes ran low on fuel over the Pacific Tuesday and the pilot of one died when he bailed out 90 miles northeast of here.
 Two Marine helicopter crew. men were killed when their chop per blew up in the rescue opera ton.
 Six Supersonic, Swept-Wing F101 Voodoos were ferrying to Honolulu from Mcclellan AFB,. Calif., where a spokesman said they had refuelled Tuesday morning after a hop from Lang planes were sent out Due to air turbulence, the Air Force said, connections could not be made for the aerial refueling and the pilot .ejected in what appeared to be normal bail-out.
 But he was found dead, float ing in his inflated life jacket, by ley AFB, Va. One of them ra- dioed he was running out of fuel.

has reached 25,00O tons.
 The Sitka pulp mill certificate extends relief from Alaska In come tax, and state property tax that might be levied during the period, state sales tax, should one later be imposed, and other licenses andf fees.
 The only exceptions are taxes collectable from the company for all motor fuel uses. The board es- timated the company will pay about $7,000 a year in motor fuel levies.
 Tax benefits will stop auto matically if the company's annual net income exceeds eight per cent of it's capital investment in prop erty, plant and equipment.
 Al Anderson, director of the Alaska Resource Development Board, estimated a $4,000,000 an nual ret income by the company would hit the cutoff point of the tax aid program.
 The tax incentive act, aimed at inducing new industry to locate in Alaska, allows the Board of Administration to grant exemp- ton from all state and local taxes for as long, as decade.
 The first tax exemption certi- ficate awarded by the board went last year to the Pacific Northern Lumber Co. of Portland, Ore, for a sawmill operation at Wrangell. However, the company has not begun production and it's 1O-year tax benefits have not been applied.

Nixon Predicts @l948 Victory I'm Reverse

LOS ANGELES, R - The Re- publican Party is surging toward an upset victory at the polls in November, says Vice President Nixon.
 Nixon told 2,OOO COP campaign workers Wednesday night that the biggest political shocker since Harry Truman's unexpected vic tory in 1948 is in the making.
 "This is 1948 in reverse" he said. "The Democrats think they've they've got it made. They've been reading the polls and believing them. They're play ing it safe.
 Well, we're playing it hard. We're playing to win, and we're going to win"
 Earlier, in San Francisco, Nixon told press conference that to win, the Republicans could not let Democratic criticism of Ad- ministration policies go unan- sWered.
 II think one reason the Repub- Ican Party is in trouble is that it has allowed criticism to go by without making effective reply" he said.

Industrial Tax Incentive Act Applied To Assist Growth of Sitka Pulp Mill

JUNEAU, R - Alaska's aging but still largely unused Indus trial Tax Incentive Act was ex- tended yesterday to the Alaska Lumber and Pulp Co. of it's mill at Sitka.
 The company was granted TO- year certificate exempting it from all Alaska-levied taxes except those collected on motor fuels.
 Approval for the tax exemp- ton came 10 months after the company applied for benefits of Tered by the industrial incentive act passed in the waning days Of the 1857 Territorial Legislature.
 It was the second certificate granted by the Territorial Board of Administration, which acted unanimously after months of dis cussions on the company's peti- aion.
 The tax exemptions, with an estimated value of about two million dollars to the company over the 10-year span, will not become effective until probably in early 1860.
 Alaska Lumber and Pulp Co.,, located near Sitka, is expected to be ready to begin production in late December of next year.
 The tax relief benefits will be- come effective when production at the 50-milGon-dollar mill has averaged 500 tons a day for 60 days, or after total production

He has been studying the problem and
writing speeches about it-blunt ones that
enrage and sadden the educators.
"A real hght Is developing" he says,
between two groups One says we should
adjust our children to be happy members
of the social organization. The other con-
tends that the purpose of schools should be
mainly to develop skills. Leave the rest
to the family This latter group, which 1
support, believes it Is stiI a tough life.
There is still competition, and we have to
train our children to stand on their own
feet. Getting lower marks than the next
man in school is not the end OF the world
At least, you know where you stand. We
have to teach youngsters to take setbacks
and rise above them as best they can"

not obtained formalized training in teacher
methods, he advocates and stress scholastic
achievement more, methodology less.

school graduates, the admiral pleads Make
them pass examinations before getting tnei
diplomas. What should the standards be?

The same as Europe's high schools, he says.
This viii require longer school days, more
days per year and consequently shorter
vacations, fewer snap courses, he admits.
To a communicating New York State
teachers college president, Admiral Rick
over recently wrote tartly:
IF you wish to find transitory comfort
in clinging to the notion that the American
high school diploma Is comparable to the
European secondary school leaving certifi-
cate, or that the American B.A. Is COM
parable to any degree given by European
university, you are, Of course, free to do so.
Meanwhile, the Russians keep producing not
only more engineers, scientists and Sput-
niks, but also more doctors, teachers and
other professionals. Our children have fun
at school and enter life at Is unable to
spell their own language and in large part,
mathematically all but nhterate."
If the District schools would change
their teacher requirements, Admiral Rick
over says, he would like to teach high school
mathematics. At the moment, he claims,
neither he nor Presidential Science Adviser
James r. Killian is eligible-they don't have
the academic training in methodology!

Mr.. Sixto advised the business
inquiries of the phenomenal hot
springs in use since the Spanish
occupation. They were develop
ed by the French and have been
in use for over 200 years.
These springs though not as
well known as Vichy or Monte
catine are visited many French
and other Europeans who come
for the express purpose to de-
rive the curative values OF the
waters. Sixto located the springs
in the central vally of Haiti in
a district called Sources Chau-
des.
Sixto says the immediate
future of his country is based
on the tourist trade, provided
with luxurious hotels, and the
building of an electric power
dam to attract industry.
