Hollandia
Evacuation
HOLLANDIA, West New Guinea
(AP) Dutch authorities today
prepared to evacuate Dutch worn'
en and children from this island's
western tip following an invasion
by 120 Indonesian paratroopers.
Gov. P. J. Platteel announced
that 120 women and children would
be moved from the town of Tern-
inabuan to the east coast of Vo
gelkop, the island's westernmost
peninsula, and to the nearby isle
of Biak.
The announcement gave the
first disclosure of the size of the
paratroop landing Saturday.
Reinforcements Rushed
It said some of the paratroop
ers dropped near Teminabuan
have withdrawn under attack and
that the Dutch garrison had
rushed up reinforcements.
The Dutch said an army unit
stauuu iii Teminabuan "Utmched
a rapid aggressive action," killing
the Indonesian commander and
another parachutist and wound
ing three. The Dutch said they had
no losses.
Reinforcements were sent to the
area for "further neutralization of
the demoralized and scattered par
achutists," the Dutch said.
The Indonesian news agency An
tara claimed Indonesian guerril
las had captured the town of Dem
ta, 50 miles west of Hollandia.
Antara said heavy fighting con
tinued around Fakfak, south of
Vogelkop, and Kaimana, on the
south coast. It said Fakfak was
under continuous guerrilla harass
ment and most of its population
had been evacuated.
Life At Usual
However, AP correspondent Hal
McClure reported from Fakfak
that life was proceeding there as
usual.
Antara claimed 18 Dutch ma
rines were killed last Tuesday in
a clash near Fakfak after hun
dreds of Indonesian paratroopers
had been dropped in the area. The
story was denied by G. W. J. Van
Dyk, chief of the Netherlands De
fense Ministry's information de
partment. He said there had been
no Dutch losses since the Indo
nesians began dropping para
troops into West New Guinea
three weeks ago.
Mountain Fall
Fatal To Youth
EVERETT, Wash. (AP) A
15-year-old Seattle youth slipped
and rolled down an icy mountain
2,000 feet and over a 100-foot cliff
to his death Sunday on Big Four
Mountain, 19 miles east of Granite
Falls in the Cascades.
The young climber, Steven W.
Skubi, 15, a sophomore at Roose
velt High School in Seattle, sur
vived the fall but died late Sun
day night as help was approach
ing. A doctor from Snohomish, Wash.,
with a party of trained mountain
eers was being sent to bring the
youth back down the mountain to
a hospital.
The Snohomish County Coroner's
Office said Skubi, John Woll, 31;
Dick Springgate and Dan Davis.
all of Seattle, set out to climb
the mountain early Sunday and
were returning down when Skubi
in some manner supped.
He catapulted down the side of
the mountain, traveling about 1,000
feet before tumbling over an 80
to 100 foot high cliff, then sliding
another 1,000 feet.
They estimated it took him four
minutes to fall the 2,000 feet and
the climbers three hours to climb
down to reach Skubi.
Two of the party went to the
Forest Service Station at Verlot
for help while the fourth remained
with Skubi until help arrived.

Child Dies,
30 Injured
In Bus Crash
TORREON, N.M. (AP) At
least one child was killed and
a large number were injured to'
day in a school bus accident in
the Indian country of northwest
ern New Mexico.
State police said 15 or 20 in
jured were being brought to Al
buquerque hospitals by ambul
ance. Mrs. E. E. Storr, wife of the
doctor in nearby Cuba, N.M., said
at least 30 had been injured.
She said the body of one child
was in Cuba. First unconfirmed
reports placed the death count at
six or seven.
The Cuba Elementary School
identified the dead child as Doro
thy Toledo, a fourth grader. The
school spokesman said the bus ap
Darentlv turned over, injuring 30
or 35 children and breaking the
leg of the woman driver, Miss
Elizabeth Jones.
The San Juan County sheriff s
office estimated the number of in
jured at 30, and said several were
dead.
All of the injured apparently
were Indian students, the sher
iff's office said.
Ambulances were dispatched
from Albuquerque and Farming
ton. Six planes from nearby
communities also were on hand
to aid in evacuation of injured.
S te of the accident is in remote
northwestern New Mexico Indian
country about 80 miles northwest
of Albuquerque.
State police said the acciaem,
of an undetermined nature, took
place south of Johnson s lraaing
Post on the Star Lake Road.
Europeans Flee
Algiers Terror
ALGIERS (AP) Driven by" Se
cret Army Organization terrorism
and the fear of Moslem reprisals,
2.600 Europeans fled Algeria by
plane over the weekend.
So great was the demand for
air passage that military authori
ties had to add four planes to 12
flights previously scheduled for
Sunday.
In the five days preceding the
weekend, officials said about 2,000
persons departed with no appar
ent intention ot returning 10 rer-ror-plagued
Algeria. Outgoing
flights normally carry 1,600 pas
sengers a week.
A similar rush for ship passage
was reported along the Algiers
docks, as alarm spread over in
creasing slaughter by killers of
the Secret Army Organization and
the threat of reprisals by Moslem
commandos.
All week the airport was
jammed, mostly by women, chil
dren and elderly persons.
Those with police priority tickets
were allowed to board outgoing
planes first.
About 15 seats per plane were
generally reserved lor uncial
and military personnel and their
families. Medical patients and
other special cases were
also
given priority. The rest had to
wait their turn.
Kennedy Requests
Funds For Tests
WASHINGTON (AP) President
Kennedy asked Congress today to
appropriate additional money to
help cover costs of nuclear weap
ons tests and to produce atomic
weapons.
Kennedy sent Congress a pro
posed change in the 1962-63 budg
et, including $120 million to re
store current funds now being
spent in connection with the test
program. He recommended an in
crease of H4.5 million for produc
tion and for a detailed study of
a new approach to the design of
nuclear power reactors.
White House press secretary
Pierre Salinger told newsmen he
was unable to say whether the
request for production funds re
sulted specifically from findings
obtained in the Pacific tests which

Solan Followed
De Gaulle Path,
Says Admiral
PARIS (AP) A French vice
admiral today told the court try
ing ex-Gen. Raoul Salan for trea
son he is convinced Salan was
trying to follow the same path
Gen. Charles de Gaulle followed
in 1940.
Vice Adm. Andre Ploix, a for
mer commander of naval air
forces in Algeria, refrained from
approving Salan's action in lead
ing the terrorist Secret Army Or
ganization in Algeria. But he said
he could understand the moves of
anyone who went underground to
honor previous promises to keep
Algeria under the French flag.
The gray-haired admiral, who
is still on active duty, said he
personally would be bound by dis
cipline and that if he had received
orders to fight the secret army
he would have done so.
Ploix said he had been convict
ed and sentenced by the Vichy
government during World War H
for rallying to the Free French
forces led by De Gaulle. Ploix
said that just as De Gaulle had
sought to save France in world
War II, Salan was trying to save
Algeria in 1961 when he took over
leadership of the secret army..s

Offers Safe Haven
Chinas Refugees
World criticism has rained ,
down on Nationalist China and
British authorities in Hong Kong
alike because of the human trag-
edy of hungry Chinese being
forced to return to Red China aft
er escaping.
The United Nations and various
countries have contended the ref
ugees should go to Formosa. And
the British, who say they simply
cannot handle any more refugees,
have been assailed on all sides
for sending them back behind the
Bamboo Curtain.
Rice Allocated
The Chinese Nationalist Cabinet
announced the decision and allo
cated 1,000 tons of rice for imme
diate emergency relief for refu
gees now in Hong Kong.
The government also decided
to ask other countries welcoming
refugees, such as Brazil, to help
handle the tide of refugees.
Nationalist China has taken
some of the refugees after careful
screening since the influx into
Hong Kong began shortly aft
er the Red Chinese conquered the
mainland in 1949.
The Free China Relief Associa
tion agents in Hong Kong are now
screening 1,000 refugees for reset
tlement in Formosa. But taking
1,000 refugees will make hardly a
dent in the thousands upon thou
sands of refugees in Hong Kong.
It may take some time before
any substantial numbers of refu
gees arrive in Formosa.
Security Measures Taken
The government plans security
measures to safeguard against
any influx of Communist agents
trying to come to Formosa in the
guise of refugees.

Draws Fire
In Argentine
BUENOS AIRES (AP) Presi
dent Jose Maria Guido today was
accused of returning dictatorship
to Argentina by sending Congress
into a long recess and suspending
political parties. His purpose was
to purge Peronists from political
life.
Backed by the military chiefs
who put him in to replace ousted
President Arturo Frondlzi three
months ago, the mild-mannered
small-town lawyer who said he
never aspired to power now will
govern by decree for at least a
year.
Guido's dictatorship was con
fronted with an immediate test of
strength as workers on the government-run
railroads began a 24
hour strike at midnight to protest
delays in payment of salaries and
pensions.
Union leaders rebuffed attempts
by Economics Minister Alvaro As
ogaray to stall off the walkout to
give the regime time to bring the
nation out of what the government
called a financial crisis of the
most serious character.
Guido came under fire from lead
ers of his own Intransigent Radi
cal party and the opposition groups
for his orders recessing Congress
for a year and sidelining political
parties by ordering mem to re
organize.
Alfredo Vltolo, a major strate
gist of the Intransigent Radicals
who was interior minister in the
Frondizi government, charged Gui
do and his military masters with
"a sinister plan to liquidate the
last vestiges of constitutional gov
ernment in South America's rich

Grand Jury
Indictments
Ruled Faulty
WASHINGTON (AP) The
Supreme Court overturned tnH
the contempt convictions of six
persons who balked at answering
questions from congressional com
mittees investigating Communist
activities.
The hiKh tribunal, in an nnininn
by Justice Stewart, said the con
victions had to be set aside be
cause the indictments returned by
the grand jury against the six
failed to identify the subject un-
aer congressional subcommittee
inquiry at the time each witness
was interrogated.
Stewart said Congress had ex
pressly provided that no one could
be prosecuted for refusal to an
swer questions of congressional
investigators except upon indict
ment by a grand jury.
Court Hasn't Daclded
"This court has never decided
whether the indictment must iden
tify the subject which was under
inquiry at the time of the de
fendant's alleged default or re
fusal tn answer," Stewart contin
ued. He then stated that the court
today was holding that the Indict
ment must contain such an aver
ment, and for this reason the
judgments against the six had to
be reversed.
During the congressional hear
ings, none of the six invoked the
Fifth Amendment protection
against self-incrimination, but em- '
phasized First Amendment guar
antees of freedom of speech and
press.
They also contended the inves
tigators, the House Committee on
Un-American Activities and the
Senate Internal Security subcom- .
mittee, exceeded their authority.
