PRISON OFFICIAL BELIEVES 3 CONNECTS DROWNED

SAN FRANCISCO tH A pri- son official said yesterday he be- lieves three bank robbers who fled Alcatraz drowned.
 But the official, Fred T. Wilkin- son, would not comment on reports the men had irnprovised a raft for their getaway or that two make shift paddles had been found.
 Wilkinson, Asst. Director of the Federal Buerau of Prisons, came to Alcatraz to investigate the dis appearance Monday night of the three convicts he had known at the federal penitentiary in Atlanta, Ga.
 Wilkinson said the men would commit other crimes to keep going.
 That's why I have to believe they drowned. Our investigation has turned up no sign of life. These men are human beings. They woult need food, clothes, shelter"

BRUNSON, sc. R - A tall 10- year-old boy who has led an un- obtrusive life in this rural South Carolina community is heir to the lions share of one of the country's $ largest fortunes.
 Walker F. (Skipper) Inman IT. was bequeathed more than $50 of the $40 million estate left by his grandmother, Nanaline H. Duke.

EAST GERMANS GUN DOWN I2-YEAR-OLD BOY

BERLIN tR A 12-year- boy trying to escape from East Germany was shot dead by Red border guards, West Berlin police reported today.
 The shooting occurred last Sun day, during the Whitsun holiday, when two groups of East Germans managed to tunnel their way to freedom
 Because the shooting took place on the east side of the Communist wall, West Berlin police did not get details immediately.
 His death brought the known number of deaths along the wall to 36.
 Apparently incensed by the number of successful escapes, the Communist regime is strengthening the barricades around West Berlin.
 Six concrete bunkers have been located at strategic points, and to- day they added a seventh = a covered firing position facing the US. sector border opposite zehlendorf.
 At other places on the 100 miles of frontier they were diggini ditches and putting up more barhe'

 Some 35,OOO Men

DETROIT R Ford Motor Co., which will complete closing of it's 16 passenger car assembly plants and lay off 35,0oo by nightfall, said today a strike in key parts plant at Cleveland, Ohio, will cause the idling of an additional f66,GG000 in its metal stamping di- vision Monday.

Fight Engineers Renew Offer To Arbitrate

WASHINGTON R = Flight en- gineers renewed today their offer to arbitrate economic and other contract issues with three major airlines but not the key crew makeup phase of their dispute.
 The offer amounted to re- statement of the position the gov- ernment has described as tanta- mount to a rejection of President Kennedy's proposal to aTbitrate all issues.
 The big issue is the one over cockpit job rights = the position of the engineers under plan to reduce the crews on long-range jets from four to three men by combining the posts of third pilot and engineer.
 A statement by union president Ronald A. Brown left unclear the status of the unions strike threat against the three big carriers, Pan American, Eastern and Trans World Airlines.
 Browns statement said the 1lninra,s $ nffnr shnllld he accantahlx to the airlines. He added that: We will give them a reasonab1 time to respond before calling strike. '
 Brown said President Kenned was apparently misinformed abou the real nature of the dispute, a 1 judged on the basis of the Presi dents description of the case a his news conference yesterday. Continued on Page 3

What's the Diff?
 American English, Or English English

NEW YORK tR = An American says gasoline" and Briton says petrol" but Dr. Philip B. Cove contends that doesn't mean they don't know each others tank is empty.
 Cove, editor in chief of Merriam Webster dictionaries, thus took up the gauntlet flung in Rome by Sir David EccIes, British Minister of Education.
 Sir David warned Wednesday that the English language is in dan ger of splitting into dialects mutu- ally unintelligibIe in England, the United States, Canada and Aus tralia. He Ikened the prospect to Latin's demise into Italian, French and Spanish.
 As an example Sir David used this sentence: q was mad about my fat.'
 ] To a New Yorker, he continued, that would mean, < I was hopping with rage that I had a punctured LII k@lA& s,AkA1 Tl d0UT1u ffIy dpdrtfrlS-11l.
 Cove contended that air travel
 inter-marriage exchange of radio
 and television programs and th,
 printed word have brought Amer e ican English and English close f together than ever before. l You don't tell a Yankee what z : British gin and tonic'' is any t more than you have a shot dog a for a Cockney youngster, Cove f asserted.
 The list of mutually under. stood terms is long: elevator lift 1, bar-pub, baby buggypran1, mail
 post and trolley-tram for few.
 The Briton knows that the
 American bloody" is just that and the American knows that the British "bloody' is so grossly vuI- gar that this paragraph won't be printed in England.

JFK NOT ENTITLED TO YALE DOCTDRATE DEGREE

WEST LONG BRANCH, NJ. tR
 "A graduate of the Yale class oi 1902 says President Kennedy should not have received an honor ary degree from the university.
 Eugene Fl. Lehman, President Emeritus of Monmouth College, said yesterday he would ask the class of 1902 at its Goth reunion in New Haven, Conn, tonight to adopt a resolution expressing re- gret at the award.
 Yale presented a Doctorate of Laws degree to Kennedy, a Harvard graduate, at commencement ex- ercises last Monday.
 Lehman said his resolution would say that MT. Kennedy neither by virtue of his personal qualifications nor of his service to our country is deserving of such an award from our alma mater"
 ssOf course, do not know what action, if any, the class may take on the resolution" he said.

Seattle Man Admits Setting Fire to Own Home

SEATTLE R = A 38-year-olc engineer, James Vincent Miller admitted so posice Friday ne sei fire to his own home, burning three of his five children to death
 His wife and two other children escaped. They were treated for shock and injuries.
 Robert Timlin, Fire Department inspector, said James Miller ad- mitted pouring two gallons of gas- oline and several gallons of paint thinner and oil inside the house while his family slept.
 Bremen said the fuel was ig- nited in basement hallway and the well of a stairway, where flames would block escape.
 T don't believe Miller has told his real motive,' said Capt. J. ". Fineran of the Seattle Police Homi- eide Division. Miller said he was overworked. He said his wife had been complaining contin uously about his being out of town and away from home, and he couldn't take it any more
 Tirnlin said Miller admitted to officers that he has agirl friend, 7 but refused to name her or say where she lives.
 If there is such a girl friend that could be the motive," Fineran said.
 Killed in the fire were Patricia Ann Miller, 18 months, and her brother, David, 2, who were sleep ing in an upstairs bedroom. A sis ter, Jane, IA, who slept in a base ment recreation room, died later at hospital.
 Miller's wife, Rita, 37, who slep' upstairs, told battalion fire chic WInfon Sleipness:
 T opened my bedroom door try ing to reach my babies, but the hal was mass of smoke and flames I barely had time to jump out tn, second floor bedroom window. 7 Mrs. Miller was burned and cul on the face and arms.
 Paula Miller, 12, and Katy, 10, were cut by broken glass as they escaped from a basement bedroom through window.
