Rebels Flee to BoIiviu

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil,
Dec. 8 (AP).-The Brazilian air
force said yesterday the last
known participants in last
weeks abortive rebellion have
fled to Robore, Bolivia, and
have been interned.
A Beechcraft plane with five
men aboard landed in Bolivia
Sunday. They included 1t. Col.
Geraldo Labarte Lebre and four
men in overalls.
The foreign office said it had
under study the question of
whether to seek extradition of
six officers who fled to Asun-
cion. Paraguay. Nothing will
be done about trying to extra
dite two others who fed to Ar
gentina, since Brazil has no ex-
tradition treaty with Argentina.
A small group of air force
and army men seized planes
and few to jungle outpoSts last
week hoping to start a revolu-
ton. But gave up when they
failed to rally any support.

Britain Urged to Spend
On Earth, Not in Space

in the commonwealth and ir
the colonial territories"
ITO leave these needs unsat-
isfied in order to shoulder the
Gripping cost of a large pro-
gram of space exploration on a
purely national basis would be,
in the councils view, the
grosseSt folly" the report
added.
Another official advisory
body, the Council on Scientific
and Engineering Manpower,
warned that the Nation faces
a continuing shortage of scien-
lists and engineers. It reported
that Britain had 173,000 ex-
pertS in these fields as of last
January but there were 5000
job vacancies in manufacturing
industries alone.
According to estimates" the
group said in an annual report,
about 211,700 qualified scien-
lists and engineers will be
needed by 1862, and the num-
Der available will be over 5000
short"

Pvt. McFadden testified be-
fore Municipal Court Judge

He said that he and his part
ner, Pvt. James z. Owens, no.
ticed that the keys were in the

covered a small bag inside,
bulging with more than 200
number slips, plus $400 under
the seat.
After waiting a short period,
Pvt. McFadden said, they soon

LONDON, Dec. 8 (AP).-Ar
official group advised Britain
today to stay out of the costly
race into space and spend the
money to help its under
developed colonies and COM
monwealth partners.
The government sponsored
Advisory Council on Scientific
Policy said in its annual report
while no one can deny the
value or attraction of space
research and exploration, its
cost both in money and man
power is so great as to place it
beyond the reasonable capacity
of any but the wealthiest of
nations.
The council said Britain
should give first priority to
"the strengthening of our eco

U. S. SO Deficit
At STA Billion;
Sets q Record
BY the Associated Press

The Treasury says last years
budget deficit was $113 million
less than originally calculated.
However, it still was the big
Igest splash Of red ink in peace
time history.
The final deficit figure for the
1859 fiscal year, which ended
June 80, was $12, ,426, 1886, ISL .28.
This was $113,713,387.72 less
than the preliminary figure an
nounced in July.
Virtually all of the improve
mentS reflected bigger-than-
expected tax receipts.
Over the IL months, the Gov

fast-growing, leftwing Revolu-
tionary Party captured several
seats in early returns. 1t was
believed the party would hold
as many as 10 or IL seats in
the 66-member. one-house
congress.
The party at one time in the
last congress had six seats, but
several members detected be-
fore the election.
Mr.. Mendez Montenegro,
small of build and with gray
ing hair, presents a mild ex-
terror. When he first turned
to politics, some United States
diplomats here feared he was
too far to the left in his polit-
ical views. Since then he has
purged his party of several
powerful Communists and is
now considered a moderate
Ileftist.
With half the congress con-
tinuing in Office another two
years, Gen. Ydigoras' Redemp-
ton Party went into the elec-
ton with Is holdover seats and
another 10 up for reelection.
The election is expected to
boost the figure back to Is or
possibly higher, and presum-
ably the President will be able
to restore the alliances which
generally gave him AZ or more
votes.
Early returns from Guate-
mala City indicate the Revo-
lutionary Party would score
decisive gains, but later results
from rural areas swung the
balance back for Gen. Ydigoras.
The President called the
election a test Of United States
policies toward Guatemala and
an indication of whether the
country was swinging back
toward communism. He pre-
dicted the leftist vote would
increase and said this would
be because the United States
had not been generous enough
with loans.

A comprehensive revision OF

ferred to as the Lewis plan
recommended that the Sheri-
dan-Kalorama area be limited
to detached houses. But the
zoning commission did not fol-
low the Lewis plan and marked
the area for row housing. II
was this decision that residents
attacked in the courts.
Brig. Gen. yelling, in an
nouncing yesterdays decision
said. Some standpoints of the
basic plan. either type of zoning
can stand. But in view of all
the factors, the commission has
now chosen the Lewis recon-
mendationS.s
The only construction to be
permitted will be for fully de-
tached houses, to be erected on
50-foot lots Of at least 5000
square feet Of lot area, and to
include two side yards of not

RoWHouseBan

The District zoning commis-
sion yesterday reversed itseH
on q controversial rezoning
matter and gave in to demands
of residents in the area.
The commission ruled that
coming for the Sheridan-Kal-
Drama section of Northwest
should limit future construc-
ton in the area to detached
type houses.
The commission previously
had rezoned the area to allow
row housing. At that time,
residents-including two Sena-
tors-took their fight to the
courts.
A public hearing was held by
the coming group last month
following a decision by the
United States Court of Appeals
that the row house rezoning
move was void. The court held
that the commissions action
had not been properly taken
because a public hearing held
earlier did not satisfy legal re-
qutrements.

Rural Electric Energy
Distributed Up 5 Times
In. l0-Year Period

], WASHINGTON, d. C.-(RED-
Rural Electrification Administration
borrowers increased the amount of
electric energy they distributed five
times in the 10-year period, fiscal
1948-1958, according to a statistical
summary released by REA.
During fiscal 1853 they generated
and purchased total amount of 22,-
026,991 400 kilowatt hours of power.
The report reveals REA borrowers
generated 1870 of their own energy
needs, purchased 1870 from Federal
agencies, bought another 1870 from
commercial sources and obtained the
remaining 796 from public agencies
such as municipalities.
In fiscal 1948, they used 4,151, $685.
089 XVIII of power, generating 1870
of their own needs. In addition. they
purchased $3.50 from private compa-
nies, % % from Federal agencies and
1870 from public bodies.
Significantly, the report shows
rural electric generation of their own
power needs rose from 20 in 1948
to 179o in 1866, leveled off at the
same figure in 1856 and fell to 1870
in both fiscal 1857 and 1868. This
may indicate need by rural electric
leaders to review their generating
and transmission planning, since it is
not keeping pace with the overall
load growth of their systems.
AS REA borrowers have expanded
their energy requirements, the aver
age cost of energy purchased has come
down. In 1948 they paid an average
of 8.9 mills per XVIII. In 1858, aver
age per XVIII cost was 7 mills.
While costs in 1858 were consid-
erably lower, the report indicates
it was mainly due to the low rate on
power purchased from Federal and
public agencies.
REA borrowers paid an average of
about SO mills per XVIII for all power
obtained from private companies,
to an average price of about
Sd mills per XVIII on all energy pur-
chased from public and Federal
bodies. This indicates power company
rates are high enough to pay them
a handsome profit.

Red China Pushes Rails

Communist China is giving top pri-
oriyt to railroad expansion. The lat
est advancement is the completion of
104-mile line linking inland Marking
with the port of Foochow, according
to a recent issue of BUSINESS
WEEK. When the Communists took
over 10 years ago, China, the most
populous nation in the world, had
only 10000 miles of track, mostly
foreign-owned and war-damaged.
