EAL Electra Jet
 Hiiacked-Flown to Cuba at Gunpoint

MIAMI, Fla. tR - An Eastern Air Lines prophet Electra was hi- jacked today and the pilot flew it to Cuba at gunpoint A United States jet fighter accompanied the captive airliner to a point three miles from Cuba
 The plane took off from Miami International Airport bound for Tampa, New Orleans and Dallas with 33 passengers and five crew men. It landed at Jose Marti Air port in Havana,
 In his last radio report, Capt. w. E. Buchanan, said: "I am pro- ceeding to Havana at pistol point" "
 First indication that something was amiss, however, came when the $312 million plane went sharp ly off course on the radarscope.
 A fighter from the Homestead Air Force Base near Miami tailed the airliner. There were reports that the fighter tried unsuccess- fully to turn the big plane back.
 The Electra carried 21 paying passengers, 12 pass-carrying EAL employees, and the crew members.
 In the last two years, nine pas Senger planes have been hi-jacked between Florida and Cuba. Seven were Cuban planes which were forced to land in Florida. Pre- viously, one other American plane was forced to fly to Cuba.
 Capt. H. G. Hayes, the pilot ot the fighter plane, an FLOP Delts Dagger, was helpless to act wher his efforts to turn the airline1 around went unheeded, because any overt action would have en- dangered the American pas SengerS.
 The plane was fully armed with air-to-air missiles.
 The U. $. government promptly asked the Castro regime to re- lease today's hijacked plane.
 The request was made through the Swiss Embassy in Havana, which represests American in- terests in Cuba in the absence of U. S.-Cuban diplomatic ties.

Ranger Spacecraft To Head for the Moon ina Few Days

WASHINGTON LR - A Ranger I Spacecraft first version ot vehicle that later this year may crash-land on the Moon - will be launched on a million-mile round trip journey into space within the next few days.
 The National Aeronautics and Space Administration described in detail today it's newest and most complicated experiment in Lunar and Planetary Exploration. But NASA declined to give the exact date the launch attempt will be made at Cape Canaveral.
 NASA said the 675-pound Ran ger will be fired first into brief parking orbit" 115 miles above the earth. For about 13 minutes Ranger I will zoom along at 18,000 miles an hour, high above the Atlantic Ocean as though it were a regular earth satellite.
 Then it's Agena-B second stage rocket will fire up for a second time to accelerate Ranger I to a velocity of 23,90O miles an hour and start it on trajectory 685,- 900 miles out into space.

SOviets Release Some
 Details on Gagarin's Flight

WASHINGTON tR - The So- viet Union has permitted some of the details of Yuri Gagarin's space flight to trickle out - for the sake of the record book.
 According to Soviet authorities Gagarin rode his space craft to earth.
 That has been the subject of some speculation.
 Eyewitness accounts released in Moscow after Gagarin's April 12 flight indicated he descended by parachute. At a news conference three days later, Gagarin said said only that the flight employed new devices" other than the parachute tested on a previous experiment.
 The Central Aero Club of the Soviet Union was permitted to give some details to the Fedora tion Aeronautique International in Paris, which keeps track of flight records.

Crime Rate
 Skyrockets to New High in l96O

WASHINGTON R - There were more serious crimes in the United States last year than in any year in history, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover reported today. The surge of lawlessness reflect ed an astounding 98 per cent increase over 1850, he said.
 By the FBI's crime clock there was murder every 58 minutes.
 An aggravated assault every 4 minutes.
 A robbery every 6 minutes.
 These chilling statistics shaped the pattern of violence in 1860 with a serious crime committed every 15 seconds or a total of 1861, 300.
 Hoover noted in the big rise in crime over 1850 that the popu- lation increase for the decade was only IS per cent.
 The FBI data, published in the annual Uniform Crime Reports" covered information supplied by more than 7,700 police agencies, and showed that 1860 topped 1859 by IA per cent in murders, fore ible rapes, robberies, aggravated assaults, burlaries, auto thefts and larcenies of $50 or more.
 Crimes against property, Hoover said, were in general even more frequent, with a burglary every 39 seconds, a major larceny every minute, car theft every twC minutes.

Since 1926, when he began investigating extra
sensory perception, DR.. Tenhaeff7s main interest
has been discovering, studying and using para
normally gifted men and women p people whose
minds see beyond the normal perceptions of the
average person.
Though they are popularity called clairvoyants,
mediums, psychics, mind readers "sensitives,"
DIR. Tenhaeff calls them 'paragnosts."
"Paragnost," he told me, comes from the Greek
words para, meaning above or beyond, and gnoSiS,
which means knowledge. 1t covers more than simple
clairvoyance.
DR.. Tenhaeff patiently tracks down his paragnosts
all over Holland and brings them to the Institute
where he gives them battery of Dutch, German,
Swiss and American psychological tests.
What makes DR.. Tenhaef's Parapsychology In
stitute amazing is that he uses these paragnosts to
put ESP to MOrk.
Through the Institute, they help police and
parents find missing persons, discover clues that
solve crimes and capture criminals, help identify
manuscripts and artfacts which have puzzled schol
ars. They find lost pets, jewehy, business docu-
ments. They help solve cases of smuggling and
espionage for the government.
The Institutes outstanding paragnost is Croiset,

agree this sounds unbelievable. But the abilities
of this gifted group have been documented under
strict scientific controls in thousands of cases,
which have won DR.. Tenhaef praise from fellow
scientists in 10 countries including the United
States. His pioneer work has been recognized by
such ESP authorities as DR.. j. B. Rhine, famed Duke
University parapsychologist, and DR.. JoOst A. M.

Scholarly DIR. Tenhaef occupies the worlds only
university chair in parapsychology (he science of

325year-old Utrecht University - one of EurOpes
great institutions - he founded the Parapsychology
Institute there in 1853 on annual grant from the
Dutch government.
On my recent six-week visit to Utrecht, l found

and missing person cases in half dozen countries
including the US.
In 1916 when he living in the Dutch border
town of Enschede, Croiset heard DR.. Tenhaeff lec-
ture there and proved to the parapsycholOgst that
he had strange powers.
Putting the power 10 the test
81 tested Croiset and found that he was a re-
markable subject for parapsychological research"
recalls Tenhae. Later, he took Croiset to Austria
Italy, France, Germany and Switzerland to enable
other scientists to test him further.
Though people continually ask Croiset for bust
ness tips, he Realistically refuses to accept any
money for his clairvoyance. II have gift from
God so can't commercalize it, he explained to me
in Dutch. EFF l do, may lose it. Everybody has
the same gift, only in me it's more developed than
in other people,"
Another leading Institute paragnost is Warner
Thoen, an amable 46-year- old restaurant proprietor
in Emmeloord, Holland. When he was a barber in
Croningen, he met Croiset who assured him, 'You
have the same gift have, I'm going to bring you
to the Institute"
