Syminggton Warns Russ Are Ahead
 In ICBM Strength

WASHINGTON, R - Senator Stuart Symington D-Mo) con- tended today Soviet Russia will have. four times more interco~- tinental ballistic missiles in 1861 than are planned by the Eisen- hover Administration.
 Symington, Secretary of the Air Force in the Democratic Admir- istration of former President Truman, said that ''far from plan- ming to close the current ICBM gap, the Eisenhower Administra- tion is ctually allowing it to widen"
 Symington's statements disa- greed with reports of comparative U. S.-Soviet ICBM strength given Thursday by Secretary of Defense McElroy.
 "We do not believe that Russia has an ICBM capable of operation gainst this country at this time," McElroy said.
 Symington told the Senate that President Eisenhower, Vice Pres ident Nixon nd other Administra- ton spokesmen had failed to an- swer his challenges to tell the public the facts about relative U. S.-Soviet strength in missiles and other military power.
 Symington said this country has successfully test-fired ICBMs an1 set up production lines that could produce more than the Soviets if funds were provided.
 "The reason we're not planning full production of ICBMs is be- cause this Administration is not planning to spend the necessary funds," he said.
 McElroy said the Soviet Unioo is ahead of the United States in the thrust of rocket enginos used in weapons and space vn- hicles. But, he added, we have en- zines with enough thrust to "pro- pei large warhead to the point we want it to reach"

12 Coal Miners Trapped In Flooded Pa. COlliery

PITTSTON, Pa, LR - The fate of 12 missing coal miners, trapped in the earth when the Susquehan- na River, clogged with giant chunks of ice, gouged a hole in their mine, remained unknown to- day as rescuers fought to stem the flow of water.
 First reports said three men drowned when the anthracite wall of the colliery, shored by tim bers, collapsed yesterday under the tremendous pressure of the flooding river. But no bodies have been found. The trapped men can be listed only as missing.
 Thirty-three other miners es- capped, some sloshing for hours through waist-deep freezing wa ter before emerging from the un- derground maze of tunnels.
 They were part of the 45-man crew working in the river slope mine of the Nox Coal Co. at near by Port Griffith, when the break through occurred without warn ing.
 we never heard the water come in at, all," one lucky miner said. Tt was just there."'

The board order realigned marv major intra-Alaska routes. The order Said:
 ''It should be noted that even after the deletions we propose, Alaska Airlines will continue to operate not only as Pacific Northwest = Alaska carrier but also as major intra-Alaskan car rier over some of the richest routes within Alaska.
 Regional services now operated by the line will in the future be flown by intra-Alaska certificated carriers.
 Pacific Northern Airlines, which won important Seattle-Kodiak nonstop rights in the order, also plans to ask reconsideration of the order. PNA's petition will ob- ject to that portion of the order which grants Reeve Aleutian Air ways turnaround rights between Anchorage and King Salmon in competition with PIMA.

Airlines Will Request CAB. To Reconsider Alaska Route Allotments

SEATTLE, LR - Alaska Airlines plans to ask the Civil Aeronutics Board to reconsider the intra- Alaska route case. Henry Bierds, assistant to the lines president, said today.
 The order of January IA takes away 41.6 per cent of Alaska Air lines operated route milege, a reduction of 1892 miles of a to- tai 4,55O, and removes the carrier from the 'fbush" market, he said.
 The order is still being studied and details of the planned protest still must be worked out, he said, but he added:
 "We certainly will question the legal power of the board to take away permanently certificated runs"
 The carrier has not estimated yet exactly what effect the elimi- nation of ''bush" operations will have on revenue. The board, how ever, estimated the lines revenue would be reduced "A per cent and it's subsidy requirements by 33.5 per cent - about half a million dollars year.

JUNEAU, LR - The question of how best to exploit Alaska's vir- tually untapped oil and gas re- sources came before legislators here yesterday.
 Members of the Legislative Council heard proposals for amending the oil and gas leasing provisions of the Alaska Land Act.
 The main issues turned on two questions:
 l. Whether state oil and gas lands should be leased on compe- titive or non-competitive basis.
 2. Whether a limit should be placed on the acreage held by the various lesseeS.
 Gordon Goodwin of the Rich field Oil Corp, representing his own and 13 other companies, ar gued for non-competitive leasing of upland areas for oil nd gas exploitation.
 "We believe that competitive bidding for Alaska wildcat lands would retard development, Good win told the lawmakers. Costs of operations are already very high and competitive bidding would only increase those costs, thus making the great risks al- ready invoved in oil exploration in these inaccessible upland areas less attractive.
 LIMITATIONS RECOMMENDED
 Goodwin said the IA companies also do not believe the state should limit holdings of leases on state lands to the acreage limitations provided in the Federal Leasing Act. He recommended limitations of 5OO,O0O acres.

vitamins and minerals, providing
energy and proteins, the sandwich
is a powerhOuse of nutrition.
"The day after day task of keep
/ ing that lunchbox filed" he points
out, lis much simpler today than
years ago." Aluminium foil, waxed
papers that are self sealing, saran
wrap all protect the freshness and
| flavor of the lunchbox sandwich.
Use whichever you. wish Alumni
mum foil is excellent if sandwiches
are frozen, and many mothers have
found the frozen sandwich taken
! from the freezer in the morning is
just right for the noon time meal.
This gives Nom a break. The work
of the school lunch can be done
once a week, with only the little
garnishes and the hot or cold bev-
erages added on busy mornings.
almost anything makes a good
sandwich, Mr. Raynor went on to
explain Cold meats by all means.
Peanut butter is both filling and
satisfying and needn't be dull.
Thinly sliced fruit apples, oranges,
dates make wonderful filings for
raisin or white bread with a thin
to medium spreading of the pea
nut butter, and satisfies the sweet
tooth beautifully. For meat sand
wiches-perhaps the left over
roast-try thinly sliced cucumber
instead of lettuce. The noontime
sandwich will be moister, have an
added taste fillup and the cucum-
Der will not wilt This is an excit-
ing way to dress up a sliced egg or
egg salad sandwich-always a good
lunchbox standby.
ThermOS Jars Good Investment
1.-TWO small thermos jars are a
good investment" he tells us, for
nothing warns the cookies of the
heart more on a chilly day than a
lunchtime starter of steaming
soup. In fact, soup plus sandwich
plus fruit to be eaten in the hand
and milk is as well balanced and
nutritionally sound lunch as any
mother can provide"
Cures For LunchbOX Fatigue
There are lots of cures for
lunchbox fatigue. When Billy gets
bored buy a small colorful plastic
cup and every day put a surprise"
in the cup. 1t could be freshly
baked cOokies-som candy-nuts
anything will do though here's
way to provide healthful sweets
and eliminate the candy bar nibb-
ling that cuts down a youngsters
dinnertime appetite. The main ap-
peal of this surprise" is that it
remain surprise" with the chill
dren knowing only what is in it at
the time they eat their lunch.
Mr.. Raynor concludes by point
ing out, "a school year filled with
lunchboXes needn't scare the busy
housewife. Plan ahead Freeze
what you can. Cut the daily chore
by advance preparation. And do
rely on tasty sandwiches for the
main stay. They're easy to make
-. easy to vary and pro-
vide plenty of the nourishment
your children need. Remember,
better meals builds better families.
