play You Can't take 1t With You"
Awelcoming introduction to the evening was given
by Mr.. Mullgrav, Governors Representative for St.
Crolx, prior to the raising OF the curtain on Act One
Playing to a full house, Shirley Eckley, IN the part OF
Penelope Sycamore, 1mmedlaUeIy assured her audience
not only tor her obvious ABILITY but also that the evening
had started well and that the curtain had risen on the
beginning Of a Legitimate Theatre for the island
A cast Of sixteen presents no small task to the

especially in amateur theatre for the occasion OF It's first

the neutral and uninterrupted continuity OF eacn act,
leaving no single member OF the audience in any doubt

Senate Defeats COP Attempt to Chop $2OO Million Off Public Works

WASHINGTON R - The Sen ate defeated today a Republican attempt to chop $2OO million out of President Kennedy's $450 mill lion job-making accelerated public works program.
 The vote was 60 to 26.
 Sen. Everett Dirksen, the COP leader, protested in vain against the $450 million appropriation, al ready approved by the House after a floor fight April 10.
 ''If this is the way to get the country moving, we are moving in the wrong direction" Dirksen told the Senate
 Dirksen said he foresaw further moves ahead to authorize addi- tional millions for job giving proj- ects under pressure from local communities.
 'They are not going to let this grab bag go by without getting their share," he said.
 Southern Democrats joined with their party colleagues from the north and west to reject the amendment, offered by Sens Leverett Saltonstall and Milton Young.
 It was the first major vote ol a $1.4 billion supplemental appro priation bill in which the $45O mil lion public works money is in cluded.

 He hid behind some ice," Commack said, land attacked me from about 12 steps away. shot once and Ralph Marshall, my guide, shot him. He broke my ribs and bit a chunk out of me-"

Termination of Cost of Living Allowance for Alaska Nearly Completed

WASHINGTON R - Drafting of a proposed bill to terminate a cost-o -of-living allowance for fed eral employees in Alaska is being completed by the Civil Service Commission.
 Work on the proposal, eventually to be sent to Congress, is expected to be completed possibly within matter of days" spokesman said.
 The draft will then be submitted to the Bureau of the Budget for final administration action.
 Specifically, the proposed bill would repeal a section of the in- dependent offices appropriation act of 1949 under which civil employees in Alaska receive 25 per cent tax-free cost of living allowance
 The commission proposes to substitute for the cost of living allowances increased salaries al- lowed under the federal salary reform act of 1862.
 Such increases would be based on periodic surveys of area wage scales by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, A study of this kind is to be started in Alaska in June.
 Under the salary reform act, federal salary rates are to be com parable with private enterprise rates for the same levels of work
 Chairman John Macy Jr. of the Civil Service Commission has said the earliest date considered fo1 recommending termination of the allowances is January 1864. Macy said the commission re. cognizes probable need fol salary increases in Alaska higher than those allowed under the 1862 reform act.
 No exact figures were available on the effect in Alaska of federal pay increase proposals sent to Congress by President Kennedy.
 However, commission spokes- man said there were 13,272 fed eral employees in Alaska at the end of last year. Roughly 60 per cent of these would receive base pay boosts if Congress approves the plan, he said.

Red Chinese Vessel Reported Sunk by Torpedo

l TOKYO R - CreWmen of t: Chinese Communist freighter which sank yesterday in the Yellow Sea reported that the ship had been hit three times by torpedoes fired from an unidentified submarine, the Japanese Maritime Safety Agency said today.
 The agency quoted advices from the Japanese fishing boat Xxi Maru, which said it had rescued all 59 creWmen from the sunken freight CT Yue Jon Ho.
 An official of the agency said he was doubtful of the torpedo ing report, and suggested that the freighter may have grounded.
 An agency spokesman said the Il ,482-ton freighter sank Wednes- day in the Yellow Sea. He said the crewmen reported that the craft was hit three times after being followed about four hours.
 The sinking was reported to have taken place about 12O miles off the tip of South Korea.
 An account received by the Tokyo newspaper Yomiuri quoted creWmen as saying the freighter was hit twice rather than three times. The Japanese news agency Kyodo quoted crewmen as saying:
 ''An unidentified boat believed to be submarine sank the Yue Jon Ho."

Khrushchev Sends Good Wishes to Kennedy

WASHINGTON R - Soviet Premier Khrushchev has sent per- sonal good wishes to President Kennedy and assurances that the Soviet envoy in Laos has been told to work with British and American ambassadors to try to settle the Laotian crisis.
 This was the oral message Un- dersecretary of State Averell Hartman said he conveyed last night to the President. It was the reply to a written message Ken nedy had sent Khrushchev.
 Hartman, who returned from Moscow Monday night, briefed the President on his 312 hour talk with Khrushchev.
 After his report, the tart ton- gued Hartman talked with news men in the White House lobby.
 Was he "hopeful' about a Laotian settlement, a newsman asked. Everybody always asks me that" said Hartman. ''That hope- fuD isn't a word that's in my vocabulary"
 But, he added, the Civil War in Laos has been transferred from the battlefield to the political arena and it will "be there for some time to come, I think"
 Why didn't Khrushchev send a written reply to Kennedy's mes sage?
 "The beard was about to ar rive," said Hartman, in refer ence to Cuban Prime Minister Fidel Castro, and the Soviet Pre- mier was very busy.

Trailer Full of Explosives Blows Up on Alaska Hwy.

FORT NELSON, B.C. R - 'It was like throwing a box full of shells into bonfire-only bigger"
 Lloyd McFaul of Dawson Creek, B.C., was telling in an interview the destruction of a semi-trailer van full of explosives after it caught fire on the Alaska High way.
 "A rocket would explode in the van, blow hole in the roof or side, and then there'd be a blow torch of flame shooting out 40 feet.
 Eventually the van was nothing but a pile of rubble"
 McFaul and his fellow driver Doug Hartnell, also of Dawson Creek, were relief drivers taking the Alaska-bound load of US. Army rockets to this city 360 miles north of Prince George.
 A 250-mile stretch of the high way was closed yesterday and today while demolition experts in vestigated the wreck. Canadian army engineers were expected to reopen the highway at midnight tonight.
 McFaul said he and Hartnel es- caped after the van caught fire at mile 230 seconds before the first rocket exploded.
 They unlocked the truck and drove a quarter of a mile away and watched the destruction o1 the van from a hillside. McFau hiked through brushland and SC up flares on the highway to stol traffic.
 The truck, owned by Garrison Fast Freight of Seattle, was picked up by the two drivers at Dawson ] Creek at the start of the highway

New Hampshire
 To Start State-
 Operated Lottery

CONCORD, N. H. R - Demo- cratic Gov. John w. King notified the Republican controlled N e w Hampshire legislature that he had signed a sweepstakes bill which had kept the state in turmoil for months.
 Gov. King called on the legis- lature to help him make a first state operated sweepstakes in this country, one that will be con- ducted honestly, efficiently and in compliance with the laws of the United States government"
 King told the lawmakers his leg islative counsel, Joseph Millimet, had discussed the sweepstakes with us. Department of Justice lawyers and was convinced the New Hampshire sweepstakes would not violate federal laws.
 He said tickets for the sweep stakes, the first to be legalized in any state in nearly 70 years, could be sold to people whether or not they live in New Hampshire.
 ''It is perfectly lawful for our neighbors to come here on vaca- tion, buy sweepstakes tickets and collect their prizes if they win, , the governor said.
 He added the federal law is concerned only with interstate traffic and not with sweepstake: conducted within a single state.
 Official sources said the sweep stakes tickets may be sold onl. within the state, either at stat liquor stores or the race track They may be carried over stat lines but under federal law can not be mailed.
 The governor spoke before g joint session of the House and Senate.
 The bill becomes law in 60 days.
 Supporters of the measure have estimated the state will net $4 mil lion annually in revenues, all of which will be earmarked for the support of education.
 Not since 1894, when the pri- vately operated Louisiana Lottery went out of business, has a sweep stakes or lottery been sanctioned by any state.
 Sweepstakes bills also are under consideration by legislatures in Massachusetts and Vermont Other states seeking ways to increase revenue are meeting pressure to legalize lotteries or extend race track betting.

Castro Gets
 Glimpse of Russ Military Rockets

MOSCOW R - F1del Castro got another fleeting glimpse today of the types of Soviet rockets Pre- mier Khrushchev pulled out of Cuba last year at President Ken nedy's insistence
 The Cuban Prime Minister ap- peared with Khrushchev in the place of honor atop the Lenin Mausoleum at the annual May Day parade in Red Square.
 He appeared to enjoy the mili- tary review and workers parade, which US. Ambassador Foy Kohler boycotted because of Castro'S presence. Kohler watched the cele- bration on television set in his residence.
 Castro cOnversed animatedly with Khrushchev as the Soviets rolled out 10-minute review of their military hardware.
 Among the weapons that sped past the reviewing stand were 500 to 700-mile range rockets similar to those withdrawn from Cuba during last years crisis. Western observers spotted nothing new among the rockets shown.
 The Cuban leader reportedly was deeply offended by Khrush- chev's failure to notify him in ad- vance of the decision withdraw ing the rockets under American pressure.
 Castro, dressed in a white shirt, tie and dress uniform for the first time since he arrived in the So- viet Union last weekend, was the center of attraction in Red Square. Khrushchev enthusiastically led him the length of the reviewing stand to let the crowds catch a glimpse of the revolutionary leader.
 Castro listened quietly as the Soviet Defense Minister, Marshal Rodion Malinovsky, charged Ire actionary circles of the United States with policy of aggression and provocations against Cuba Gin gross violation of the elementary standards of international law.'
 Malinovsky declared that Soviet forces are always ready to ''in- sure the complete debacle of any aggressor who encroaches on the peaceful labor, freedom and inde- pendence of the USSSR and other socialist countries"
 Along with the American dip lomats, key presidium member Frol Kozlov was missing at today's festivities. Kozlov, frequently men, toned as KhruShchev's successor, dropped out of sight here imme- diately after the premier return ed to Moscow two weeks ago from a vacation.

September Date
Set for Hearing
On Transit Fund

A District Court Judge today
set September 10 as the date
OF a public hearing on a ten
tatively approved agreement
establishing a s24 million fund
for benefit of future transit
riders.
The agreement. jointly pro-
posed by the d. c. Transit
System, the District Public
Utilities Commission and tran
sit riders who appealed past
fare increases, was Endorsed In
principle yesterday by District
Court Judge Luther W. Young
dahl. who termed the pact
most Statutory"
He added. however, that final
approval OF the accord would
depend upon Developments at
a public hearing.
The agreement 10 set up a
transit rider fund stemmed. In
part, from q United States
Court Of Appeals ruling that q
1860 transit company fare In
crease was unjustified. The
court suggested that such q
fund might be used TO hold off
future fare increases or TO make
fare reductions possible.
