"One Of the major objectives
Of the bill before us" Mr.. Ma

there will be no deterrent gap
during 1861, 1862 and 1859.
IF we continue to maintain
our bomber strength, our over

and if we move forward as
planned with our long-range
missiles. and If we develop a
strong and thoroughly depend
able airborne alert, and If we

see no reason why there should
be a deterrent gap during the

District Engineer Commits
sioner Frederick J. Clarke in

The Engineer Commissioners
remarks followed a District

transit company's contention
that its franchise automati-
cally entities it to any proposed
fare structure which will pro-
duce SIS per cent profit on gross
operating revenues.

District Court Judge F.
Dickinson Let's ruled Friday
that the Public Utilities Com
mission is correct in turning
down a company proposed fare
increase if it decides lower
fares are reasonable.
The ruling rejected an argu-
ment that DC. Transit has
made for some time-that the
language of the franchise
make sit mandatory that the
PUG. allow the firm an OPP
portunity to earn at least 6.5
per. cent return on gross
operating revenues.
When the PUG. allowed an
increase last March that was
less than the company had
sought, it determined the rate
of return would be Al ne" cont
of gross operating revenue or
TIA per cent of the rate base.
The court said this was a fair
return.

DLANNING YOUR TRIP to Britain
i is just as easy as arranging an
ordinary vacation at home. And it
needn't cost you any more.
Here are few suggestions, just
to start you off on the right foot.
]. How to get there and back for
under $463. Ask your travel agent
about the economy fares. You can
now fly round-rip from New York
for only $462.60-or go both ways
by ship for less than S400.
4. How much does II cost when
you get to Britain? $l00 per person
per week is more than enough for
the time of your life. For example,
you can get good seat in Lon
don theatre for less than $500. Or
you can stay at most country inns
for under $3.50 a night.
8. What are the best seasons for
touring Britain? The Spring and the
Fall have definite advantages. The
weather is just right for sightseeing.
Roads and inns are uncrowded-
and car-rental runs about 800
cheaper.

Plan Accepted
The rebel government has
accepted Gen. de Gaulle's self
determination plan enunciated
by the French President last
September 16. At that time
Gen. de Gaulle posed three al
ternatives: independence, COM
plete integration of Algeria with
France, and autonomy with
close ties to France.
The Nationalists have repeat
edly asked for talks on how
Gen. de Gaulle proposes to
make certain the Algerians will
have a free choice. They say
the only guarantee is the pres
ence Of the French army and
that is no guarantee.
Gen. de Gaulle has made 1t
clear that he will not negotiate
with the rebels on anything
but a military cease-flre. He
does not want to give what he
feels would be de facto political
recognition.

them into a slit thinner than

The Rev. Francis ]. Heyden,
director of the Georgetown
University observatory, did just
that all during the eclipse OF
the moon yesterday morning.
Father Heyden and a grad

to study the moon a slice at a

Argentina Sets
Death Penalty
For SABOTAGE .

BUENos AIRES, Mar. IL
(AP). - Plagued by terror
bombings. the Argentine gov
ernment today ordered the
death penalty for sabotage.
President Arturo Frondizi
signed the emergency decree
providing the death sentence
for anyone found guilty of acts
against the order and peace
of the country.
Mr.. Frondizi acted after q
series of terrorist acts costing
a number of lives.
A government-owned gas
works in Mar Del Plata was
bombed yesterday, and about
5000 tanks Of bottled gas were
destroyed in the resulting fire.
On Saturday a bomb wrecked
the country home of an army
major and killed his 3-year-
old daughter.
Authorities said the bomb
ings followed a set pattern
aimed at causing confusion
and blamed them on supporters
of ousted Dictator Juan Peron.
The terrorist acts began three
weeks ago with an explosion
and fire in the Shell company
fuel compliant in Cordoba in
which IA persons died.

Declaration Cited
Mr.. Abbas cited Gen. de
Gaulle's recent declaration that
the 5-year-old rebellion would
be quelled by French arms and
that a long war lay ahead. The
French President also repeated
his offer of self-determination
for Algeria after the end of
fighting but said he was sure
the future of the North Afri-
can territory lay In an "Al-
gerian" Algeria attached to
France.
To this Mr.. Abbas said:
