Senator Case raised a point
of order that money for the
loan fund could not be taken
from the Treasury except by

of Columbus yesterday fulfilled
it's promise of financing the bel,

The shrine, now under con-
struction at Catholic Univer-

Previously, Mr.. Hart had an

Senator Aiken charged that
the administration pulled the

its foreign aid program by put

which reduced the development
loan program from SIS billion
over five years to 81 billion for
two years, and required the
money to be appropriated in

Senator Aiken indicated he
might support cuts in military

too much emphasis on military

after an argument last spring.
At that time, he told the
judge, he charged a family of
tourists SO apiece for guided
tour, So apiece less than the
standard rate. A Capitol police
man he did not identify criti-
cized him for the low rate and
called him a "cut-throat," he
told the court.

you or we can make it hard"
Mr.. Taylor quoted a Capitol
policeman as saying. Before
that, said Mr.. Taylor, the three
guides had been dealing with
the officers for years"
The three guides agreed not
to pay the policemen any more
money after that. Mr.. Taylor
testified. Mr.. Taylor estimated
he had been paying the Capitol
policemen for 20 years. Mr..
Reed said he had been doing
so since he changed his occu-
patton from hacker to guide
seven years ago.
Mr.. Reed quoted a Capitol
policeman he did not identify
as telling him I'll get you
yet" after he stopped making
payoffs.
Capitol Police Pvts. Jimmy A.
Gage and Albert P. Samuels tes-
titled on the auto tampering
charges. They denied making
the statements attributed to
the anonymous policemen. They
also testified that they knew
of no payoffs.
The officers said they saw Mr..
Taylor stop the sightseeing We
hicle he was driving alongside
Mr.. Ryan'S car near the Capitol
last June "a. They said they
saw Mr.. Taylor get out and pull
something under Mr.. Ryan's
hood. They said Mr.. Reed was
a passenger in the Taylor car
at the time.
Judge Beard noted that the
officers did not see what Mr..
Taylor did under the hood and
that he had Substantial doubt"
about the charge.

program or which do not have
large planning STATS.
Under present law cities can
count streets and other local
Improvements, which they had
already intended to construct,
as a part Of their share Of the
costs of an urban renewal
project. S.57 would extend
these credits retroactively to
include such improvements
made by cities up to five years
before commencement Of the
project. AS it is, the local cash
contribution has averaged only
about IA per cent Of the cost
of acquiring and preparing a
project site for development,
S. 81 would reduce such con-
tributions even further.
Urges New Bill
In view of these defects, I
have withheld my approval
from this bill.
There remains, however, q
need for the enactment In this
session Of the Congress Of leg
islation. such as I recommend
ed last January, which will
carry forward our important
housing programs on a sound
basis:
/. The insurance authority
of the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration, which does not
involve the lending Of Federal
funds and does not cost the
taxpayer a cent, is nearly ex-
hausted. Additional mortgage
insurance authority should be
granted by eliminating the
ceiling on this authority.
2. The Federal Housing Ad-
ministration program for in
surance of property improve
ment loans, which expires Sep
TENDER 30, 1859, should be ex-
tended at least through this
fiscal year.
3. The Federal Housing Ad.
ministration program for inSur-
ance of Capehart military
housing loans expired on June
80, 1859, and should be ex-
tended for l year.
4. The Voluntary Home Mort
gage Credit Program, which ex-
pireS July 81, 1859. should also
be continued.
S. Authorizations for urbar
renewal grants should be re-
plenished, the local share of the
costs should be increased, anc
the college housing program
proposed in the budget message
should be enacted.
6. The statutory interest rate
ceilings governing mortgages
insured under the Federal
Housing Administrators regu-
lar rental housing and coop
erative housing program should
be raised.
Legislation along these lines
will help make private housing
funds available for investment
in housing and related construcD
ton, will promote the effective
use Of the resources and ener'
gies of State and local govern
ments in housing and urbar
renewal activities, and will al.
low the Federal Government tt
play its part in truly conStruc-
tive and noninflationary man.
ner. This is the way to provide
more and better housing for the
American people.

A prison guard, 1t. William
McKelvie, who had talked to the
prisoners on several occasions
called two of the convicts to
the broken glass in the door OF
the hostage room.
Officers Break In
At a signal, 1t. McKelvie
dropped to the floor and officer
John Martin fired a gas blast
from a gun almost into the
faces of the convicts.
Officers behind them then
broke into the room, Subdued

cued the hostages.
Mary Turner, "a, wife of one
of the IL inmates held hostage

baby when the officers rushed
the door.
Her husband, Virgil Turner,
told her cts all right, honey.
It's all over"
Mrs. Turner said everyone
was calm throughout the 1872
hour ordeal. She said the four
rebellious inmates never touched
any of the hostages and even
gave them cigarettes.

The four convicts who seized
the visitors, three guards and
the other convictS, are Richard
E. Murray, 20; Donald Decourcy,

David K. Owens, 10.
They listed no grievances

He came down the stairs sup
ported by officers on each side
with his glasses in his hand
and tears streaming from his
face. He appeared to be in
the worst shape Of any Of the
guards. although his condition
was not considered serious.
Mrs. Nellie Jorgenson, a
hostage, was asked if she was
frightened during the long Or
deal. She replied:
well, I guess"
She said few of the hostages
felt like sleeping and were
sitting in the chairs at the
time the tear gas was fired.

HOUSING

Of S. 81, taken together with
other seriously Objectionable
provisions, would be initiation
airy and therefore an obstacle
to constructive progress toward
better housing for Americans"
Mr.. Eisenhower declared.
Dries Up Credit Sources
"One Of the matchmaking
effects of imitation is that it
dries up the sources of long
term credit. There is perhaps
no industry in the Nation more
heavily dependent for its OPP
erations on long-term funds
borrowed at reasonable rates
of interest than the housing in
dustry."
The President said good prog
resS has been made in the fight
against initiation but asserted
the fight cannot be won by
adding one spending program
to another without thought of
how they are going to be paid
for, and inviting deficits in
time of general prosperity.
Many provisions of the bill,
the President said. instead OF
stimulating private investment
would drive private credit from
areas where 1t is urgently
needed"

though the guards held as hos

Reformatory Supt. Ernest

tempt worked just like clock
work.

Supt. Timpani said that 10

Immediately by State patrol
men. He said three of the
inmates were knocked uncon-
SciouS by the flash of the tear
gas shell.
He said, however, he did not
believe any of them were Sc
riously injured. His first worry
was for the women and chill
dren.
Several of the inmate hos
tages were taken to the reform
atory hospital for treatment,
So powerful was the tear gas
used to bring about the release
that it seeped down into the
administration room, flooding
eyes of everyone there, despite
the fact all doors and windows
were opened wide.
Well-Planned Rescue
1t was a smoothly planned
and executed rescue.
NewSmen and photographers
had been told shortly before 4
am. that the plan was going
to be put into operation. 1t
appeared to go off exactly as
had been planned.
The entire rescue operation
was staged and executed in a
matter of two or three minutes
or less.
One of the hostages said the
convictS brandiShed their weap-
onS and for the first few hours
of the long ordeal stationed
themselves at strategic points
within the room. AS the long
hours dragged on, the four con-
victs relaxed their guard more
and more.
A woman hostage said: "As
time went by the four convicts
gathered into one group and
talked"
She said they appeared to be
more nervous and more unsure
of themselves as the hours
wore on.
Set Third Deadline
The convictS' demand for an
escape car by 6 am. was their
third such deadline. The first
two last night were ignored by
officers, and the rebels made
no move to carry out their
threats.
The other $50 reformatory
inmates were kept locked in
their cells and were fed there
last night instead of taking
them to the mess hall.
The institution 80 miles
northeast of Seattle has known
trouble before. In August, 1858,
a mob of 800 prisoners burned
part of the reformatory in a
36-hour riot in which one in
mate was killed and three in
iured.
