MagnusonB Bars
Foreign-Air|ine
Fare Dictation
BY the Associated Press

Senator Magnuson, Democrat
of Washington. said today the
Government Is determined to
prevent a rate increase from
being imposed on American
overseas airlines.
Senator Magnuson, chairman
of the Senate Commerce Com
mittee, said the United States
will not back down in the dis
pute over a proposed SIS per
cent increase in round trip
fares on Atlantic and Pacific
routes.
Over opposition of airlines in
the United States and the
formal disapproval of the Civil
Aeronautics Board, the Inter-
national Air Transport Associa-
ton has adopted an increase
to take effect May IL.
In a speech prepared for
Senate delivery, Senator Mag
nuson called the IATA moth
ing more than an over-glamor-
Gus trade association whose
essential objective is interna-
tional price fixing.
"IATA functions because our
Government permits 1t a unique
privilege-exemption from the
antitrust laws. This privilege
can be withdrawn at the
pleasure Of our Government and
will be withdrawn II the
national interest requires it."
He warned countries which
threaten to curtail the rights
of United States air carriers
to operate on or over their soil
that the CAB has broad legis-
lative authority to prevent
foreign carriers from operating
to and from points within the
United States at rates which
the board determines to be ad-
verse to the public interest. i
American citizens comprise
the greatest portion Of the
trans-ocean air travel, so it is
American air passengers who
would have to bear the heaviest
burden Of any international
fare increases"
Senator Magnuson disclaimed
concern over what rates foreign
governments may wish to
charge on their own carriers,
but said he was deeply con-
cerned over whether these gov
ernments are permitted to die
tate fares charged by United |
States carriers on international
routes.
Our carriers operate ef-
ficiently and profitably at cur
rent fares" he said. IF for
eign carriers cannot compete
at these levels, perhaps some
soul-searching as to the need |
for their continued existence
is in order"

Average Loot Meager

This is borne out by the
high incidence of arrest among
bank robbers. coupled with the
fact that their average loot was
meager compared with the fool
hardy risks taken to obtain it, :"
he said.
Approximately one out Of
four holdup attacks yielded no
loot whatsoever, and in l43 at
tacks complete or partial re-
coveries of loot totaled nearly
81 million. OF the $50 bandits
arrested, 20 were taken into
custody on bank premises and
1877 others were apprehended
within a few hours after the
attacks occurred.
an the 338 successful bank
holdups during 1862, losses less
recoveries totaled Sits. .694,
which was an increase Of $l34,-
ISL over the net loss in 266
similar attacks during 1861.
Banks frustrated 1913 holdups.

STEELWORKERS
SEEN WINNING
2-3% INCREASE

NEW YORK, (AP). -
Steel labor contract talks
probably will result in in
creased employment costs
Of between 2 and 8 per
cent, Iron Age predicted
today.
The trade publication
said this figure will be
reached only after hard
bargaining.
The United Steelworkers
Union has been free to re-
open its contract for wage
negotiations since May /,
but hasn't done so.
Iron Age said many in
the steel industry believe
2 per cent is the maximum
that can be granted while
keeping the cost within
productivity gains. It added
the opinion that the union
would not consent to any
thing under the Kennedy
administrations 3 per cent
guideline without q bitter
struggle at the bargaining
table"
A 2 per cent increase
would mean roughly 8
cents an hour.
Iron Age said steel con-
sumption in the current
quarter could approach 20
million tons, the highest
in history.

Star Financial Editor

A committee from the Amer
lean Bankers Association has
found a silver lining in a cloud
Of increasing crimes against
banks in 1862.
In its report for the year,
the ABA's insurance and pro-
tective committee today pointed
out that 46l banks were held
up in the year, a Jump Of 81
per cent from 1861, but 1t
added:
"An encouraging fact is that
last year more than one holdup
out Of every four was frus-
trated."
The number of bank bur-
glaries and attempted burglar
les also increased in the year
The combined 1862 total oi
588 bank holdups and burglar
les was the largest number re-
ported in any 12-month period
since the Federal Bank Rob-
berry statute was enacted in
1884. the ABA committee said.
Looking at the other side Of
the coin, it will be noted that
bandits suffered heavily for
their miSdeeds last year, de-
elared Henry D. Ormsby, vice
president Of the First National
Lincoln Bank Of Louisville, KY.
Mr.. Ormsby wrote the report as

Worst Crash Since '29
Began Year Ago Today

forced Big Steel to call off a
proposed price boost. the Secu-
rites & Exchange Commission
was starting an investigation of
the markets, the European
Economic Community wa S
looming as a competitive giant,
and the domestic economy gen.
orally was not living up to the
optimistic forecasts.
Tears Fade
Today, with the economy
booming here and abroad, the
fears engendered by these CO.
medicines have all but faded.
President Kennedy's call for
a general tax reduction and his
acceptance Of selected steel
price increases last month have
quieted much Of the criticism
that this administration is
nti-business."
Especially important, the
SEC investigation, the first re-
suits of which were announced
last month, failed to uncover
basic flaws in the operation of
the stock markets.
The SEC report did cite some
grave abuses" in the market,
but it found no "pervasive
fraudulent activity" that would
call for dramatic reconstruc-
ton"
Further recommendations
will be forthcoming in the Sec
ond half Of the report. sched-
uled to be released June /.
Within the last year, the
stock exchanges and securities
dealers have initiated various
policy changes aimed at self
reform. The industry hopes its
more stringent policing efforts
will curb instances Of fraudu-
lent manipulation of stocks.
Just the same, the SEC has
made it clear that it intends to
ask Congress for stricter Fed
eral laws to protect the public.
Professional stock analysts
believe much of the blame for
last years selling panic rests
with the novice investor who
thought stock values only went
up. The SEC thinks the pro-
fessionals are also at fault for
not sufficiently warning the
public that stock prices also
go down.

Opening lead: Five Of spades.
East won the first trick with
the ace of spades and noted
the fall of the king with some
satisfaction. This meant that
East could safely" return a
low spade.
Actually the spade return was
so safe that it handed South
the contract. East needed two
club tricks to defeat the con-
tract, and he couldn't get them
by leading spades.
South ruffed the spade and
led out the ace of trumps to
make sure Of being able to
draw trumpS. After two more
rounds of trumps South led the
10 Of diamonds for a finesse.
East won with the king Of dia-
mOndS but was then through.
Time Runs Out
Time had run out for East.
No matter what East returned,
South could run dummy's dia-
mondS to discard two low clubs
from his hand. South made
game, rubber, and even an
,Overtrick.
East could see dummy's dia-
imonds and could tell exactly
what was going to happen. If
East didn't lead clubs at his
first opportunity he couldn't
possibly win a club trick. If
he did lead clubs, he might be
lucky enough to find the queen
in his partners hand.
East defeats the contract by
returning a club at the second
trick. This forces out dummy'S
ace. East gets in with the king
Of diamonds in time to cash
two club tricks.

NEW YORK-A recent Sat-

Lee Remick stated that she
turned down an offer to por-
tray Fanny Brice in q Broad
way musical. The film star
deemed this casting "idiotic"

I knew Fanny Brice rather

was trim, even at the end Of

true, she did not have the
cameo-like features so COM

her looks could make audiences
laugh or weep whenever she
commanded.

Lee Remick was accurate in
