Soviet Premier Reports Shooting Down American High AltitudeResearch Plane

announcement which amounted to revaluation of the ruble effec- tive in. October.
 The party and government shakeup brought Khrushchev's protege, Frol Kozlov, up from a deputy First Premiership in the Council of Ministers to a top Communist Party job under Khrushchev himself. Kozlov, 51, became Secretary of the Party Central Committee in general reorganization. Kozlov toured the United States last year.
 The Lockheed u2 airplane, pre- sumably the one Russia claims to have shot down last Sunday - is one of type capable of extended flights at attitudes between 5O,0CO and 55,OO0 feet.
 It is capable of speeds up to 70 per cent of the speed of sound.
 The National Aeronautics and Space Administration described it as a straight wing, single-engine jet craft, originally designed for use as a high altitude test vehicle. It has 9O-foot wing span and is 45 feet in length.
 NASA spokesmen have said about dozen such planes have been in use since 1856 in joint upper air research with the Air Force.
 The U2 was designed to carry heavy loads of research gear 10 miles high and keep them there long enough to make delicate stu dies. Speed was sacrificed for the ability to fly high.
 Information sought? Data about the thin air in which airliners of the future may operate = causes of clear air turbulence, wind, shear, the jet stream, cosmic rays, concentration of various elements in the upper atmosphere, move ment of contaminants from nu- clear tests.
 First flights were over the western United States, emanating from the atomic proving grounds in Nevada. Since 1856, flights have been made from various parts of the world offering diff ferent climactic conditions, in- cluding Alaska.

Tone Is Subdued at West Virginia Kennedy Humphrey nv Debate
By the Associated Press

Senators Hubert Humphrey and John Kennedy met head-on in a television debate Wednesday night at Charleston, w. Va.
 The two rivals for he Demo- Kcratic Presidential nomination produced no sparks, no fireworks. The tone was mild and unbitter.
 Humphrey did take issue with a consant Kennedy refrain = that Humphrey has no chance to be nominated and a vote for him in West Virginia's May 10 primary is wasted.
 Humphrey said:
 "No Democrat has this nomina- tion tied up. If you have 200 con- vention votes you're just as much alive politically as the man with 800 votes"

 Beyond the burgeoning limits of Los Angeles, Poulson is per- haps best known for two things He told off Khrushchev to his face and he played a major role in bringing major league baseball to the West.
 Poulson's after-dinner speaking almost gave the Soviet Unions visiting Khrushchev a severe case of indigestion last fall. Khrush- ~hcev took exception to oulson's reference to the Soviet leaders celebrated "We shall bury you" quote. Khrushchev, his pleasant, peasant face redder than the Kremlin flag. threatened to pack up and go home. But he calmed down after bitter anti-Poulson tirade.
 Later, the Soviet leader said the mayor "does not shine by his in- telligence."
 Poulson said in rebuttal that there is no statement of principle in his remarks to Khrushchev with which any good American citizen can find fault"
 Paulson spearheaded civic group that made a safari to Flo rida and lured Walter O'Malley and his then Brooklyn Dodgers to the money-green fields of Memo rial Coliseum.
 Poulson said he plans to live in Los Angeles after his term ex- pires in June, 1861. The former Republican Congressman said he'll go back to his first love = the life Of Certified Public Accountant.

Even Dozen American Plane Casualties Attest to A Continuing Cold War

WASHINGTON, R = The U. S.. plane reported shot down by Rus sia Sunday is the 18th American aircraft lost in encounters with Russian or satellite forces during the last 10 years of the cold war. !. Additionally there have been a number of brushes in the Korean and Formosa Straits areas that apparently inolved no direct Rus sian responsibility.
 The first of the major cold war incidents occurred in April, 1850, when an unarmed Navy patrol plane was shot down over the Baltic Sea.
 In June, 1855, a Neptune patrol bomber crash-landed near St. Lawrence Island in the Boring Sea.
 The last known incident prior to the one reported Thursday by Soviet Premier Khrushchev was the attack by Soviet type jet fighters on a Navy patrol plane over the Sea of Japan. The Amer ican craft, though damaged, re- turned to it's base in Japan.

Underground Gasoline Flow Hampers Downtown New York Construction

NEW YORK, R-A mysterious underground flow of gasoline = going on for the past Is days at the rate of 500 gallons daily = may halt work on big Manhat- tan project. To make it more mys- terious, no one has reported losing the volatile liquid.
 The gasoline pours into two 18- feet-deep excavations on West 40th Street near Ninth Avenue at the site of the 19,00O,00O addition to the Port of New York Authority Bus Terminal. The excavations, part of the foundation, eventually must reach 30 feet
 "We're stymied if this contin- ues," Francis Carey, the term inal's resident engineer, said. "We can't sink the foundation any deeper with gasoline still under ground. It's much too dangerous"
 The automotive-type fuel some times is pure and at other times is brownish in color or mixed with water. Goelogists. technicians and engineers are puzzling over the source.
 One geologist said the source could be miles away and coming in via an underground stream. It might be coming from sewer leak. Gasoline stations in the area report no loss from their tanks.
 The fire hazard is acute.

Alexander Guterma today
sought to switch to a not guilty
plea on charges Of Illegally hav-

the request because of District
Court Judge Joseph R. Jack
sons comments when sentence
ing Guterma's co-defendant,
Hal Roach, jr.
Guterma, a 44-year-old in
terna tional financier, had
pleaded no contest previously.
Such a plea, while not admit
ting guilt, provides that the de-
fendant may be sentenced as
though he had pleaded guilty.
Judge Jackson fined Roach
$500 last month. He had re-
ferred to Roach as a relatively
innocent victim. The Judge
had commented that Guterma
has quilted many a sound f.
nancial institution to his own
benefit.
Judge Jackson today asked
defense attorney Richard H.
Wells and Justice Department
Attorney Paul C. Vincent to
file opposing arguments about
whether the judge should per-
nit Guterma to change his plea.

his last in court until October.
