Senator Anderson, Democrat
of New Mexico, yesterday gave
added assurances that the mon
umental Old Patent Office
Building will be the future
home of both the National Col
lection of Fine Arts and q Ma
tional Portrait Gallery.
He spoke as a member Of
the board Of regents Of the
Smithsonian Institution, to
which Congress has trans
ferred the building when it is
vacated by the Civil Service
Commission.
Senator Anderson was criti-
cized by the Washington artists
in the American Art League,
Inc, for sponsoring legislation
which could exclude the ma
tional collection from the
building. The Anderson bill or
ganizes the Portrait Gallery
and says the building may be
used for the portrait displays.
In a letter to Representative
Kearns, Republican Of Penn
sylvania, who the shared
artists concern, Senator Ander-
son wrote:
IT would like to make plain
to you, as I have consistently
made plain to everyone else
with whom I have come in
contact on this, that the bill I
introduced is only to provide
machinery for the running Of
the National Portrait Gallery
and that it does not and is not
intended to change in any way
the agreement we have had all
the way through that the
Smithsonian would use part Of
the building for the national
collection and part .
for q portrait gallery"
The Smithsonian's intention
to divide the building for the
two displays-one emphasizing
American art and the other
combining history with por-
traiture-will be written clearly
into reports on the Portrait
Gallery legislation, should it
clear Congress, Senator Ander-
son said.

Gov. Egan Won't
 Make Any Plans for His Political Future

ANCHORAGE lP - Gov. Egan
 last night declared he won't make any plans for his political future until after the 1862 legislative session is completed
 The governors post will be up for grabs in the November, 1862 election. Some reports indicated Egan will seek reelection, others that he may shoot for a U. s. Senate seat and still others that he may drop out of politics for at least some time.
 But Egan, who has been making the rounds of clubs and various groups here in the true political style, said he is just attempting to "get around and inform the people" what the administration is doing.
 "Ive been too busy to really think about future plans," he stated.
 Egan also said he expects the budget to be the major legislative through fiscal 1864. After that he sees improvement in the states financial picture.
 The reason for his prediction Of better financial health is an- increased oil lease reve- nues from higher per-acre de- velopment of timber and mineral resources among other items.

 E Mill Tax Rate

Wednesday evening was the last night of the meetings held by the Board of Equalization at which time the proposed budget for the school for 1961-1962 year was pre- sented. The budget calls for a 23 per cent increase to $50, 0,082 225 compared to $62,579.5O last year.
 The enrolment and budget sur Vey for the next ten years shows the need of 22 additional teach CTS for 357 additional students with need at that time of 45 more classrooms. For this coming year 12 additional classrooms are needed

Rebels BOtched
 Invasion = Did Not Have Air Support

GUANTANAMO BAY, Cuba lR A bitter underground source charged today anti Castro ele- ments botched their invasion by not providing proper air support and by failing to seize local radio stations and rally the masses.
 The invaders made no effort to capture local radio stations, he said, and this, coupled with mass arrests, left the people who might have risen against the Cas- tro regime leaderless and be- Wildered. Rebels who managed to hole up in Oriente Province are complaing their air support was too little and too old, he added.
 "They were trying to furnish air cover with B-26s," the source said, (which did not have a chance against the T-33 jets"
 The Castro regime is known to have a number of these Ameri- can-made trainers, which, how ever slow they may be compared to modern jets, are far superior to World War II B-26s.
 No evidence has yet reached this U. s. Naval Base in Eastern Cuba that Castro forces used Rus sian-made Mig jet fighters against the invaders.
 The government radio in Santi. ago asserted the United States wa. afraid to aid the invaders because of the Soviet Unions military might.
 "The United States does no dare intervene because of tht vastly superior forces of the USSR, which has equipment much more modern than that possessed by the Yankees" said the radio
 Underground sources in this eastern end of Cuba were bitter about the defeat of the counter revolutionaries, comparing it to the Russian blood bath in Hun gary in 1858.

Reports Say Castro Incapacitated

MIAMI, Fla. tR - Cuba Prem fer Fidel Castro has been inca pacitated either physically or mentally - probably the latter by rebel plane .bombings on Mon day, it was reported by two or ganizations concerned with Gu ban affairs.
 The report was made by Wen dell Rollason, director of the In- ter American Affairs Commission of Miami, a private group.
 He said the information was gathered by sources of his own organization and those of the Democratic Revolutionary Front, one of the major anti-Castro or ganizations.
 'There have been many queS- tions as to the whereabouts of Cas- tro," Rollason said at a news con- ference. Castro has been inca pacitated by bombings. He is out of circulation with a mental or physcial collapse. We have good reason to believe the former is the case.
 "They are trying to get him back on his feet. But he has not been able physically or mentally whatever the case-to appear in public"
 Rollason said that the bombing which incapacitated Castro took place at Lagunne Del Tesoro, where there seemed to have been concentration of Castro's troops.

dustries, we will be out of the woods and the gap will be bridged."
 The governor said that the tax increases passed by the 1861 Leg islature were the first new levies to be enacted since Alaska as- sumed statehood.
 "We have been able to hold the line on expenses for two req sons:
 "One, we have made the most stringent economies possible in administration of your state government, and two, we have had the benefit of federal transi- tional grants wisely appropriated by Congress to tide us over the rocky first years"
 He said claims the fiscal 1862 budget is loaded with fat are un- founded
 Egan, who hasn't signed the budget bill yet, defied opponents of the state spending program to speak up now before it's too late and tell me, in detail, where they believe cuts in the budget should be made"
 Egan has until May 1 to sign the budget bill.
 The chief executive said he was confident the people of Alaska, upon hearing the full story of why the tax increases were neces- sary, will recognize and support the program.

MIAMI, Fla. R - Telephones of the Italian and British Embas- sies suddenly went tout of order" today when reporters tried to question officials of the embas- sies about conditions in Cuba.
 Both embassies were reached by telephone without difficulty.
 When a call was placed to the Italian Embassy by the Miami Bureau of the Associated Press, the embassy answered. When the reporter began to ask questions the line went dead.
 Asked if the connection was still holding, the Havana operator re- piled "the number has gone out of order"
 The experience was similar in a call for the British Embassy suddenly, as the questions start ed, there was a busy signal. The Havana operator came on the line. She said:
 ''I have verified the call. The line has gone out of order."

French Claim

 The report was broadcast by Edouard Bobrovski, correspondent for the French National Radio and Television. He did not give the source of his information.
 He said the first man in space was the son of noted aircraft designer Serge Ilyushin. The first space man is now Absolutely un- conscious" in a Moscow hospital, Bobrovski said.
 BobrovSki's account was smiliar to a report carried by the Com munist London Daily Worker the night before Gagarin's flight was announced. The Soviet press and radio ridiculed Western specula- ton that the story of Gagarin's flight might have been faked.

Egan Strikes Out at Opponents
 Of S3.6 Million Tax Program

ANCHORAGE lR - The 1861 session of the Legislature would have had to slash a major portion of the states road program and cut services sharply if it had not raised taxes, Gov. Egan said last night.
 Striking out at opponents of the $36 million tax program drafted by the Democratic leadership in the closing days of the session, Egan said without the tax boost the state would have been faced with an operating deficit of $11.5 million in fiscal 1863.
 "Can you imagine how many dollars in taxes would have been necessary next year if we had not acted this year to fill the gap?" Egan said.
 "I will tell you - taxes high enough virtually to break the back of every working man and busi- ness man in Alaska"
 The states chief executive said state assumption of the entire road program and normal growth and development would bring or the gap between income and the money needed to maintain serv. ices at their current levels.
 Egan said that he, as a life long politician, knew that tax in creaSeS were never accepted witt "warm popular approval"
 "But knowing what lay ahead knowing what could be done t prevent it, I gave my full sup port to the measures that Wer finally enacted"
 The Legislature boosted tn taxes on cigarettes, highway gas oline, liquor, motor ve h ic |, licenses and individual net in come.
 "To those who would have postponed this decision I say ii is easy to be brave from a dis tance. It is easy to put off un- pleasant chores" Egan said. But the easy way is not always the right way.
 1.-The revenue measures enacted earlier this month will not fill the entire gap we will face next year. But we estimate that with the new revenue measures, with some favorable land sales, and land leasing planned for next month, and later this year, with some growth in existing in-
