ALLENHURST, N. J. (AP).-
Art Burns has been enjoying
his boring job for the past %
years.
His job is to bore holes in

"Of course I'm on the look
out for termites," he says, but
the biggest mess around my

RockefeIIer's
Views Asked
0nHousingBid

A Senate Banking subcom-
mittee has invited Republican
Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller Of
New York to testify in hear
ings beginning Thursday on
President Eisenhower's veto of
the housing bill.
Although Democratic men,
bers don't know how Gov.
Rockefeller stands on the ma
tional program they believe he
is for bigger housing expendi-
lures than Mr.. Eisenhower
seems willing to undertake.
If Gov. Rockefeller accepts
the invitation-and he hasn't
replied yet-he will be one OF
the principal witnesses in r
hearing in which Chairman
Sparkman, Democrat of Ala
bama. said the subcommittee
hopes to disprove Mr.. Eisen-
hower's charges that the vetoed
bill would have produced extra
VACANT and inflationary OUTLAWS.
Senator Sparkman an
nounced Budget Director Maui
rice STAINS will be invited to
testify on the first day Of the
hearings and explain, IF he
can" how the bill was extrava-
CANT and inflationary.
Mr.. STAINS told the Senate
Finance Committee, before the
President acted on the bill, that
he was recommending a veto.
Senator Sparkman said one
of the chief aims of a scheduled
six-day inquiry will be to find
out Just what the President
wants in the way of housing
legislation"
The Alabama Senator dis
missed as wholly inadequate an
administration bill introduced
by Senator Bush, Republican of
Connecticut, and others. The
bill calls for a total of $50
million in housing loans and
grants, as compared to the
81 1915, 100000 tag the Demo-
Gratis put on the vetoed meas
ure. Mr.. Eisenhower commended
the Democratic bill would have
cost $2.2 billion.
Senator Sparkman said he
may sit down this week with
Senator Capehart, Republican
of Indiana, and House members
in an attempt to work out a
compromise measure acceptable
to Mr.. Eisenhower. Senator
Capehart said in a separate in
terview he is willing to try to
get together on a bill.
Senate Republican Leader
Dirksen said he suspects the
determining factor in Mr..
Eisenhower's decision on any
new legislation will be its IN
pact not only on next years
budget but on OUTLAWS in the
following year.
Democrats have disputed Mr..
Eisenhower's contention that
As, 900 new public housing units
authorized in the vetoed bill
would have cost the Treasury a
billion dollars over the next few
years. Democrats said the cost
would be spread over 40 years
and would involve far smaller
OUTLAWS.

Stiff Leg Found
To Be Shotgun

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP).-
James E. Patton, %, walking
stiff legged, looked suspicious

leg.
Searching further, they found

his pockets. He was fined $50

Three years later DR.. Griggs
started his exhaustive survey OF
the territory and the effects OF
the tremendous blast.
Change Suggested
Naming Of Knife Peak for
DR.. Griggs was suggested by
DR.. Gilbert Grosvenor, chair
man of the board Of trustees OF
the National Geographic So
ciety and editor Of its magazine
for IS years.
DR.. Grosvenor had long felt
that recognition should be
given to DR.. GriggS.
In 1854, DR.. and Mrs. GroS-
venor spent several days at
Katmai, studying the terrain
to find a suitable physical fea-
ture that could be named for
DR.. Griggs.
Knife Peak was chosen be-
cause of its prominence and
because it does not bear the
name of an individual who
might be offended by the
change. Furthermore, the peak
is not actually knifelike but
round.
The petition for changing the
name was presented to the
Board on Geographic Names by
Admiral H. Arnold Karo, di-
rector of the United States
Coast and Geodetic Survey. 1t
was supported by Alaska Gov.
William Egan; Senators Ernest
Gruening and E. L. Bartlett;
George CroSsette, the National
Geographic Society's chief of
geographic research, and Con-
rad Wirth, director of the Ma
tional Park Service.

Other Major Issues

Treasury Financing - House

what they will do with the
Presidents request for permis-
sion to raise the interest rate

to avoid keeping too much OF
the debt in Short-term obliga-
tons.

but is not likely to become Law
at this session.
There are many other meas
ures that will be pushed BY

Congress would not stay in

This category probably includes
the several bills to curb the

DR.. Griggs named many

Wilson Impressed
These early expeditions led
by DIR. GriggS so impressed
President Woodrow Wilson that
he created the Katmai National
Monument in 1918.
In his proclamation, Presi-

gress ought to stay until 1t gets
It's work done.
House leaders, as usual, are
hoping for an earlier adjourn
ment-about August %. But
the Senate holds the key and
even II the House should clear
its docket within a month. its
members would have to wait
for the more laxative Senate.
Toughest Hurdle
The announced intention OF
Senator johnson to get action
on a reasonable civil rights
law is the toughest hurdle on
the path to adjournment. The
weekly meeting of the Senate
Judiciary Committee tomor-
row may throw some light on
whether Southerners are going
to make a last-ditch fight in
committee or let the civil
rights battle be fought on the
Senate floor.
A subcommittee headed by
Senator Hennings, Democrat of
Missouri. has a mild, two-point
civil rights bin ready to deliver
to the full committee tomor-
row. With the Senate in recess
until Tuesday, the committee
need not adjourn at noon.
The committee also has other
business but supporters of the
civil rights measure repeatedly
intend to try to have the COM
mittee fix a time for its con-
sideration. If nothing else.
Tomorrow's meeting may
show whether the Southerners
are going to try to block COM
mittee action, as they did in
1857.
In that year the Senate
passed the first civil rights bill
in more than 80 years, by
passing its own committee by
taking up a House bill. Several
weeks ago it appeared likely
this procedure again would be
necessary. But the belief is
growing in Senate cloakrooms
that the leaders will get a bill
out of the Senate committee
this time. Senator DirkSen, a
Judiciary Committee member,
said every effort in that direc-
ton will be made.
The real test on civil rights
will come on the Senate floor
regardless of which path the
bill takes to get there. In the
Senate the liberals will fight
for a strong measure to hasten
school desegregation, while
Southerners will stand firmly

His opposition was much

out the especially controversial

allow the Attorney General to

equal protection of the law.
The administration did not
recommend that provision this
year.
Chances Called Good
Mr.. Cramer said yesterday
"our chances of striking out
Title III in the committee seem
pretty good" He described the
provision as a catch-all en-

the right of trial by jury. He
warned that it is so dangerous

Shining Soucers'
Followed Plane,
Pilot Claims

DETROIT, Feb. 26 (AP).-
The pilot of an American Air
lines DC-6 passenger plane said
yesterday three mysterious OBJ
jects that looked like shining
saucers appeared to accompany
the plane for Is minutes Tues
day night on its nonstop flight
from Newark, N. j., to Detroit.
Capt. Peter Killian of Syos-
set, N. Y, who has flown pas
senger planes for Is years, said,
II have never seen anything
like it before"
He said other members of
the crew and the 35 passengers
also saw the flying objects. The
plane left Newark at 7:10 pm.
Capt. Killian and co-pilot
John Dee of Nyack, N. Y, said
they lost the three strange OBJ
jectS in the haze when they
started their descent for land
ing at Detroit's Metropolitan
Airport while the plane was
over Cleveland, Ohio.
1.-THE objects were by no
means close to the plane, "
Capt. Killian said, but one
would move in at intervals, fall
back again and change its place
in the formation while keeping
abreast of the ship, which was
travelling at $50 m.p.h."
N. D, Puscas, Al, of Garden
City, Mich, a passenger, said
the strange objects appeared to
dance in the sky.

sick or have declare used

Q. Whether Federal laws for
bidding unions to participate
lin Federal election campaigns
have been violated or circum-
vented
The inquiry is believed GER
tain to plunge the committees
four Democratic and four Re-
publican members into bitter
controversy. An investigation
of Walter P. Reuther's United
Auto Workers Union last year
touched off such a squabble.
The JAW and many other
labor unions traditionally sup
port Democrats against Repub-
Ilican candidates.
Questioned Funds Last Year
Republican members raised
some critical questions about
JAW flower funds during last
years inquiry, but the commit
tee refrained from ordering an
audit of those funds at the
time. These were described in
testimony as funds used for
many purposes other than the
purchase of flowers for the sick
or dead.
One committee member, Sen
ator Goldwater, Republican of
Arizona, was described as pro-
posing that the new inquiry
embrace the explosive subject
of unions tactics in last No.
vember's election campaign
against "right-to-work" laws.
Such measures were defeated
in five of the six States in
which they were voted on last
fall.
