Airliners Have Series of Unrelated Difficulties

Airliners from coast to coaS
 and from Massachusetts to Puert
 Rico were plagued this weekend in a series of unrelated landing and takeoff difficulties tn bruised nothing but some sched- uleS.
 The lone casualty was a 20- year-old girl who tainted after leaving a plane that had caught fire on landing.
 In all, seven airliners with a total of about 500 passengers were affected.
 A short circuit in a landing gear set off fire aboard a Mo hawk Airlines Convair shortly be- fore it landed at Worcester, Mass, Sunday Louise Mcbride, Bos- ton University student, tainted on leaving the plane.
 In Portland, Ore, fire broke out in the landing gear of Northwest Airlines DC7C as it took off Sunday night.
 A fire warning in one engine caused the pilot to apply brakes to stop the takeoff, and the heat generated by the stop was be- lieved to have set off the landing gear fire. The original fire warn ing was false.
 In New York, a Pan American pcs jet from Paris skidded off a runway Saturday, shortly after an Eastern Airlines DC6 was forced to circle the field for three hours while crew members loosen ed stuck noseWheel.
 In San Juan, Puerto Rico, a Pan American jetliner with a capacity load of 174 managed safe landing Saturday after re- porting that it's hydraulic brakes were not working.
 There were two similar incl dents in Los Angeles the same day.
 An American Airlines Boeing TOY jet caught fire and blew a tire when it's front landing gear col lapsed as it touched down.
 Earlier, creWmen aboard Trans World Airlines Convair 880 jet were forced to pump water, coffee and milk into the crafts hydraulic system as a makeshift but effective method of lowering a jammed nose-gear.

Mushin'
 Through Washington
By Fritzi Witti


 WASHINGTON lR - Sen. Err nest Gruening is strongly in favor of preserving wilderness areas in their primitive state for the fu- ture
 But he wants to be sure that the locking-up of such areas doesn't get out of hand, that the "off limits" sign doesn't get put up for the wrong reasons.
 That is the main message of individual views he submitted to the favorable report on the wilderness preservation bill by the Senate Interior Committee.
 He described some extreme con- servationists as wanting to go so far they would deny "the ac- feasibility upon which the enjoy ment of wilderness is predicated."
 He expressed special concern over what might happen to Alas ka without proper safeguards and cited figures to show that the sit uation in the 18th State is "total- ly different from the older 48 states.
 Alaska, he pointed out, has only 225, GOO people, or one to about every three square miles com pared with national density of 5012 persons per square mile.
 He noted that nearly 19 million acres have been set aside in Alas ka for wildlife refuges and game ranges in contrast to a total of just over 10 million acres set aside in the other 49 states.
 The committee adopted one amendment by Gruening which he believes offers "a reasonable 1 safeguard to the fear I have that distant men, without adequate knowledge of Alaska's needs, will act in such way as both to limit the possibilities for enjoyment of our parks, wildlife refuges and game ranges, and also interfere needlessly with required econo- mic development"
 This amendment would apply to any state having more than 90 per cent of it's total land area owned by the federal government on Jan. 1, 1861 - this means Alaska, of course, where some 98 per cent is owned by the govern ment.
 In this case a five-member Presidential Land Use Commits sion would be named - not more than three of the same party and including three from the state concerned. The group would ad- wise the Secretary of Interior on how the federal land could best be used, developed, protected and preserved.
 Gruening feels this would pro-

Laos Premier
Is Home After
Zurich Farley

VIENTIANE, Laos, July /
(AP). = Premier Prince Boun
Gum returned yesterday from
his conference with two rival
princes in Zurich and said the
three may meet with King
Savang Vathana.
The chief of the Western
supported government, pointing
to the agreement reached at
Zurich, said the designation OF
a new Premier is entirely up to
the King.
Prince Boun Gum met in
Zurich with Prince Souvanna
Phouma, a neutralist still rec
ognized by the Communist bloc
as Premier of Laos, and Prince
Souphanouvong, head of the
ro-Communist Pathet Lao.
Receives Gala Welcome
Asked whether he expected
formation of the new govern
ment in July, as predicted by
Prince Souvanna Phouma, the
Premier replied: II couldn't
say. 1t depends on the good
will of the other side"
The government made a spe-
cial effort to give the Prince a
gala welcome home. Banners
were strung across the streets
saying Peace in Laos" "The
people salute the artisans of
peace" and Laos for the La
otians."
Premier Boun Gum would not
say how many seats he would
demand for his faction in the
new government. Some bitter
ness crept into his voice when
the usually friendly and good
humored Prince spoke about
Prince Souvanna Phouma. But
he did not say that he would
oppose him as Premier.
Decline U. S. Invitation
Prince Boun Gum disclosed
that he declined an invitation
to visit the United States "be-
cause I am not pro-American
or pro anything but just pro-
Lao" He sent Vice Premier
Phoumi NoSavan instead.
He said the two main points
OF disagreement at the Zurich
meeting were on the compost
ton of the government and
neutrality. His side, he said,
wanted a guaranteed and con-
trolled neutrality. But the
other side refuses control"

a little while longer for a politi-
cal settlement of the future of
Laos beginning with the cease
fire and going on through a
14-nation conference. The
United States objective is a
neutralized Laos. The President
repeatedly felt that he could at
least wait until tomorrow after
noon when the NSC will meet
again.
2. If the pro-Communist reb-
els make a complete mockery of
the British-Soviet cease-fire
agreement by continuing their
attacks, Mr.. Kennedy can in
tervene militarily in support of
the Western government of
Premier Boun Gum. Should he
intervene he would hope to

GENTLY to prevent the Reds
from taking over the whole
country, then to seek anew a

some aspect Of intervention is
that it might prove to be the
beginning of a general South

conflict.
8. Alternatively, the Presi-
dent could decide against any
intervention even though the
Communists clearly were pro-
gresSively taking over the whole
country. Administration Off
cials have said the United

Reds to grab off Laos and fail

promise If compelled to do so

The objective of the report,
which took a year to prepare,
is to get wide agreement on q
grand design for the develop
ment of Washington and its
environs so that decisions dur
ing the next 40 years will be
made with the design in mind.
Officials of the planning
agencies have not yet formally
adopted the Year 1000 Plan.
They have approved it for dis
cussion purposes and it is now
being widely circulated among
area planners and governing
officials.

tions and agencies can a sound
pattern of development be
achieved"

pear probable. Indeed, the best

with estimates reported in past

less the United States takes
very strong action a collapse on
the pro-Western side is en-
tirely conceivable.
