Policeman Kills l6-Year-Old Girl Who Brandishes Automatic Pistol At Him

TOPPENISH, Wash, R - A rookie patrolman shot and killed a 16-year-old girl in a crowded bus station yesterday as she fum- bled with the safety catch on an automatic pistol aimed at him.
 Witnesses said Sandra Ling scheit, only child of a farm couple living on a Columbia Basin irri- gation project at Eltopia, Wash, ignored three warnings to throw down her gun.
 The girl and companion, Jan ice Feel, also 16, of Pasco, Wash, had been stopped as runaways as they alighted from bus.
 Patrolman Richard Stevens, 33, told Police Chief Earl Phillips he had no recourse but to shoot the girl, whose gun posed threat to the some 50 persons crowded into the small bus depot in this south central Washington city.
 Chief Phillips said Stevens was greatly upset"
 Stevens had been sent to the bus depot to intercept Sandra and Janice at the request of Franklin County officials.
 He said he accosted them short ly after they got off the bus to stretch their legs. Suddenly, Stevens said, the Lingscheit girl turned her back. When she turned around, he said, she was gripping a .22 caliber automatic pistol in one hand and fumbling with the safety catch with her other hand.
 Three times Stevens ordered her to drop the weapon. When his last order went unheeded he drew his own gun and shot her.

Senate Rejects Bill To Cut Taxes

WASHINGTON, LR - Senator Douglas (D-IlD battled today for an excise tax cut despite over whelming Senate rejection of his proposal for a slash in both per sonal income and excise 1evies.
 By 71-14 vote, the Senate de- feated Douglas proposal for tax cuts totaling about $5,2O0,0OO,OOO. He contended the cuts were need ed to fight the recession and pro- vide more spending money.
 Several opponents attacked the Douglas proposal as inflationary. They also objected to the short cut method he was using in seek ing the reduction. Douglas offered his plan as an amendment to House-passed bill dealing with taxes on certain income of in- surance companies. The Constitu- tion requires that tax legislation originate in the House, where it normally is processed in commit tee before reaching the floor.
 Douglas contended a tax cut is the quickest way to pump con- su1ner dollars into the sagging economy. He noted arguments he was by-passing usual committee procedures, and said that if Con- gress does not act now, "We may wake up and find ourselves in a disaster"
 In the House, meanwhile, Rep. Simpson R-Pa), a member of the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee, introduced bill to cut taxes on personal and cor poration income and to trim sharply excise 1evies on such items as new cars, TV sets and personal transportation. T h e Simpson bill would bring tax re- ductions totaling about $6,4O0,- 100000.

Free-For-All Rocks Italian Chamber of Deputies

ROME, R Fascist and Com .munist deputies turned Italy's Chamber of Deputies into bat tleground today with a riotous free-for-all fist fight that left seven persons injured.
 Communist-allied Socialists and some Center deputies also joined in the battle, which erupted as the Chamber considered a bill to give legal recognition to the It. allan Partisans who fought against Fascism during World War II. Such recognition would allow the Partisans to claim pen sions and other veterans bene- fits paid the army.
 Bloody noses, black eyes and swollen fingers attested to the violence of the fight, one of the worst in years in the turbulent Italian parliament.

 Princess Grace of Monaco

MONTE CARLO, R- Princess Grace of Monaco today gave birth to a baby boy, the new heir to the throne of this Mediterranean princibality.
 The former Hollywood movie queens first son-Prince Albert Alexandre Louis Pierre - dis places his 13-month-old sister, Princess Caroline in the line of succession to rule over 5000 sub jects and 10000 inhabitants.
 The palace said the baby was healthy, the birth normal and that both the mother and 815- pound child are going fine.

AFL-CIO Says Unemployment Still Growing
BY NORMAN WALKER

WASHINGTON, R- The AFL- CIO said today available data in- dicates that unemployment in mid-March is at least as high as in February, instead of showing the usual seasonal improvement.
 The estimate was made in a memorandum sent by AFL CIO President George Meany to Presi- dent Eisenhower to support la bor's contention the economy is still declining.
 Meany sent an accompanying letter to Eisenhower saying "ev- cry current economic indicator demonstrates that the recession has not hit the bottom and thus there is every need for immediate action"
 The AFL-CIO report went to the White House before Eisen- hover met with his cabinet this morning to review the nations economic plight.
 The memo supplied statistics to indicate that business as well as employment has been deteriorat- ing.
 The prediction that unemploy- ment now is the same or higher than the 5,173,OOO total counted in mid February was based on an analysis of unemployment com pensation benefit claims.

Shah of Iran Divorces Queen Soraya for Failure To Give Him a Son

TERRAIN, Iran, R-The Shah of Iran today announced his div orce from beautiful young Queen Soraya because she failed to give him a son and heir to his throne
 The divorce followed weeks of negotiations with the childless, 26-year-old queen, deliberations within the royal council and long hours of soul-searching by Shah Mohammed Reza Phlevi.
 Soraya now is in West Ger many with her father, the Iranian ambassador there.
 The 38-year-old monarch and his green-eyed wife had been a devoted, almost inseparable couple, but the Shah, as a court communique put it, ignored his personal feelings for the sake of the nations high-level interests"

(AP Special Washington service5 ''j'''


 z WASHINGTON, RAAn angry discussion of the pros and cons of Alaska statehood broke up a meeting abruptly yesterday as participants argued about who was best qualified to speak for the territory.
 As the meeting waxed hot, Will liam Prescott Allen, Juneau pub fisher, said statehood legislation doesn't stand Chinaman's chance in Congress this year."
 Territorial Senator" William Egan in turn sternly remarked that he resented portions of an anti-statehood item published in a Washington newspaper We'd nesday and which Egan said i'm pugned patriotism of Alaskans.
 The communication referred to by Egan was headed "editorial' and ran as an advertisement with a notation that it was a reprint from the Daily Alaska Empire, Juneau, of which Allen is pub fisher.
 It said in part:
 ITO grant statehood to Alaska at this time, we would find that the leftist extreme element in Al aska and Hawaii would undoubt- edly run race in case of war to see which area would voluntarily join the Communist block first, and being next door to Russia, Alaska might go first"
 Asked about this later, Allen said he had in mind what he called radical elements controll- ing waterfronts in Alaska and Hawaii" He said he feels "quite sure there are senators who feel Alaska and Hawaii are poor risks in event of war"
 Sitting in on yesterdays brief session in the office of Delegate Bartlett of Alaska were the terri tory's unofficial congressional delegation Senators" Ernest

Anti Statehood Statements By
 Juneau Publisher Prescott Allen
 Resented By Alaska Delegation

Gruening and Egan and Rep" Ralph Rivers.
 Others present were Bartlett, and c. w. Snedden, Fairbanks publisher, all pro-statehood, and Allen, who opposes immediate statehood.
 The participants said the ses- sion was called at Aliens re- quest to discuss means of work ing together for Alaska.
 Anything Short of Statehood
 Before the breakup, Allen told the group that he believes Alaska can get anything short of state hood" this year but can't get statehood itself.
 He urged the provisional dele gation to work with Bartlett to obtain passage of Bartlett's bill to lift the 25 per cent ceiling on the tax-free cost-of-living allow ances paid federal employees in Alaska, seek similar tax reduc- tions for all Alaskan residents and 10-year moratorium on all federal taxes in Alaska.
 Allen told a newsman later he believes statehood is unattainable until we put our own house in order and get some industry up there"
 The meeting broke up when Egan observed that he, Egan, had been born in Alaska, that Alas kans on several occasions had voted support for statehood, and challenged Aliens qualifications to speak for Alaskans.
 Bunch of Phonies
 Egan said that at one point Allen left the room, asserting that the provisional delegation was "a bunch of phonies and I don't want to talk with you.'
 Allen said later that if he used the word "phonies" he was referring to the unofficial status of the group and not to the men as individuals.
 The Juneau publisher said that while all Southeast Alaskan resi- dents want statehood, there are 80 per cent of them who first want tax adjustment and more industry.
