Officials Feel
 Overflight a Probe Of Radar Defenses

WASHINGTON R - Officials feel that two Soviet planes that overflow remote corner of Southwestern Alaska Friday were probing US. radar and defenses.
 In discussing the incident today, however, they cautioned it would be mistake to over-emphasize its importance or interpret it as, systematic attempt to carry out reconnaissance over US. territory.
 The two planes penetrated about 30 miles into US. air space about ? am. EST Friday. They were picked up on radar and US. FLOP jets were launched but no visual contact was made or shots fired
 The officials said they do not expect an immediate reply to the American protest presented to First Deputy Foreign Minister Vastly Kuznetsov Friday by US. Ambassador Foy Kohler.
 The Soviet official said the docu- ment will be studied and the pro- test investigated, indicating a lapse of time before Moscow's reply.
 This was the first clearly estab- ished incident of a Soviet over flight of the United States.
 There is a possibility the two planes strayed off their course because of a navigational error. The officials said, and emphasized they don't expect a repitition.
 A check on radar defenses can be made from a distance, without actual Overflight.

Pope John Holds Audience Despite Fall

VATICAN CITY R - Pope John XXIII tripped and fell to- day as he was mounting his throne for series of audiences. He was unhurt.
 The 81-year-old Roman Catholic Pontiff slipped on the seventh step of the eight-step throne. He fell somewhat to one side.
 As the Pope landed on the top step of the throne, he rolled over on his back. Aides helped him to his feet as priests in the audience applauded. The Pope proceeded with the audience as if nothing had happened.
 Officials said the fall was an ac- cident and had nothing to do with his physical condition.
 The first audience was for members of the Pontifical Insti- ute of Foreign Missionaries. Later he held an audience for group of American nuns from the Sisters of Charity of St. Joseph, founded by Blessed Elizabeth Ann Bayley Se- ton, who was beatified Sunday.
 The audience for the nuns was attended by Francis Cardinal Spellman, Archbishop of New York; Joseph Elmer Cardinal Rit- ter, Archbishop of St. Lous, Mo-; and Archbishop Lawrence She han of Baltimore, Md.

Rep. Rivers Lists
 Reasons for Easing Missiles In Alaska

WASHINGTON R - Rep. Ralph Rivers, mindful of the recent flight of Russian planes over Alaska, listed several reasons today for basing missiles in Alaska:
 l. Alaska is strategically located between Asia and North America and missiles there are closer to potential enemy targets than those based in other states.
 2. Alaska is more than 1000 miles closer to Russia and Red China than the other states and this factor would make Alaska based missiles more accurate and effective.
 3. Land is available in Alaska without cost to allow "construc- ton upon the bedrock of American soil as distinguished from the political quicksand of bases and sites on foreign soil"
 "So as the great deterrent is in the power to strike back and de- stroy an aggressor," Rivers said in a statement, ''the military inn portance of Alaska must not be overlooked, a point which the Rus sians apparently ompre bend, judging from the flight last week of two of their planes over Alaska"

DARTMOUTH, MS. R - The Bear, 90-year-old auxiliary bar quentine that took Adm. Richard Byrd to the Antarctic in 1883, left here yesterday by tow for Phila- delphia.
 The 198-foot ship, moored here since she was purchased by the Shaw Steamship Co. of Halifax in 1852, will be made into a con- bination musem and restaurant in Philadelphia.

Resolution Calls for Fighter-InterceptOr SuuadrOns in NV Alaska

JUNEAU R - A resolution urging President Kennedy to take immediate steps to assign two or three fighter-interceptor and re- connaissance squadrons in North west Alaska was approved by the Senate today.
 Approval of the resolution came within minutes of it's introduction and two days after the US. State Department announced that two Russian reconnaissance planes had overflown Alaska near Nunivak Island last Thursday night.
 When the resolution, SR40, was introduced, one of it's sponsors, Sen. Lester Bronson moved that it be considered immediately. Sen. Vance Phillips of Anchorage ob- jected.
 ''There is no need for further air defenses in Alaska" Phillips said. We have several hundred million of dollars in defense bases in Alaska already"
 The Senate went along with Bronson's motion, however, and passed the resolution after the Nome Democrat said Russian fight CT planes could be seen exercising frequently over the Chukotski Peninsula, 40 miles northwest of Gambell.
 "I sincerely believe" Bron said, ''that the Russians are building one of their largest fighter bases within 40 miles of Alaska territory.
 'This is something we should be concerned about, instead of a few Russians soldiers in Cuba, 90 miles from US. territory.
 ''The whole area of Western Alaska is blank defensively."

Woman Prisoner Reports Soviets Test-Firing Missiles In Cuba

1 MIAMI, Fla. R - Two Ameri can women, the first of more thar 20 American prisoners expected to be freed from Cuban jails with in six weeks, claim that while in prison they heard Russians test firing missiles.
 q don't think they could be small ones," one woman said. "They shook the prison bars in our hands"
 The women were released un- expectedly Sunday, with no strings attached," according to James Donovan, the New York lawyer who negotiated their free dom.
 Donovan said the other native born Americans will be released when delivery of the $53-million Bay of Pigs prisoner ransom was completed. That should take about six weeks, he said.
 One of the women, who spent more than two years in Cuban jails, said the Soviets are testing missiles at an underground rock quarry six miles from Guanajay prison, 15 miles from Havana. That is one of the sites where the So- viets installed intermediate range missiles before last October's Cuban crisis.
 Geraldine Shamma, native of Boston, said the tests were con- ducted every three or four days and were powerful enough to shake the bars of the prison. Mrs. Shamma said prison guards, who became friends during 29 months confinement, told her the missiles are being test-fired in horizontal shaft leading from the quarry.
 The stocky, gray-haired Mrs. Shamma said she was instructed not to divulge any information be- cause it might prejudice the Cuban regime against the remaining Cuban prisoners.
 But she said: ''I hope they don't think I'm going to sugar coat all this treatment we've had. It was awful. We were freed for nothing. If I thought they had paid any ransom for me I wouldn't have come back"

Senate Returns Mandatory Borough Bill

JUNEAU R - The Senate re- fused to accept and sent back to the House today bill which would require major population areas of the state to incorporate as first or second class boroughs by Octo- Der.
 The measure was returned to the House after Sen. Howard Brad shaw told the Senate the bill had not been referred to the House Finance Committee while in the lower chamber.
 Because the measure provides for cash grants to boroughs, Brad shaw said, it should have been referred to the House Finance Committee.
 "The measure was not handled properly" Bradshaw said. ''The procedure used was in violation of our Joint Rules"
 The bill was considered only by the House Local Government Com mittee.
 Sen. Brad Phillips objected to returning the bill to the lower chamber.
 If this is done," Phillips said, cit will kill the bill.
 Why can't it be considered in a Joint Finance Committee meet ing? At least then the members of the House Finance Committee will have the opportunity to take a look at the cash aspects"
 Sen. w. O. Smith said he didn'
 think the measure had to go be fore the House Finance Committe because, Eff you'll check the lang uage, the bill doesn't appropriat, any money, it only authorizes ar appropriation"
 Neither House can unilaterally ignore the Joint Rules," Sen. Al Owen commented. ''If we author ize an appropriation, some day we're going to have to make good our promise"
 Bradshaw, taking the floor again, said:
 "All of the information on this bill was not available to the House. Had it been, had the bill been coasted out by the House Finance Committee, the vote in the House might have been differ ent."
 The vote on returning the bill to the House came on a voice vote. The bill, passed by the House Saturday, would authorize cash grants to boroughs of S1O for each voter who cast a ballot in the last general election, but in no instance less than $25,00O.
