Calif. flfl- A crippled C97 transport with 58 persons aboard limped home to a safe landing Satur day after a harrowing six and a half hour struggle across the Pacific on three engines. The plane, enroute to Hick man Air Force Base, Hawaii, had passed the midway point between California and Ha waii when one engine caught fire and another started "run ning rough." The big double - decker Military Air Transport Serv ice plane landed safely here at 8:38 a.m. p.s.t. with only three engines working. The plane, military counter part of the Boeing stratocruis er, carried 49 passengers and nine crewmen. The model has been plagued with engine trouble in recent months. At least eight of the big planes have crashed or developed engine trouble dur ing Pacific flights within the past year. Runaway Prop On April 26 a C97 turned back to Hawaii after develop ing a runaway prop. Saturday's drama began shortly after 2 a.m. p.s.t. as the four-engine craft headed from Travis to Hickam. At that time the plane was just past the midway point on the 2,200 - mile flight, but 38 minutes short of the "point of no return", a point calculated on fuel and wind conditions behind which the plane would not have fuel enough to re turn to its original base.

' BRIDGE AT THE ELKS Ha Been Moved Back To TUESDAY NIGHT for This Week ONLY Starting April 18, Friday Nights at 8:00- Bridge Committee Jobless Still Up At Month's End Statistics Show Washington HP) Unem ployment was still climbing at the end of March, a Labor De partment report indicated Sat urday.

For the month as a whole, new claims fell by 14,000, but their upward trend at the end of the month at a time when seasonal factors usually reduce joblessness darken ed the recession picture some what. The Labor department said there were sizeable increases in new claims Jast week in New York, which reported 4,700; Pennsylvania 5,900; Maine 5,400; Michigan 3,700; New Hampshire 2,700, and Missouri 2,200. Other Economic developments Housing experts "predict ed between 100,000 and 150, 000 additional new dwelling units would be built this year as a result of a seven point program announced Fri day by President Eisenhower to stimulate homebulding. Among other things, the Presi dent eliminated the two per cent down payment on GI home loans. The Commerce and Labor departments estimated that spending on new construction of all types for. this year's first quarter was three per cent higher than that for the same three months of 1957. The upsurge, to an estimated $9,700,000,000 was attributed mainly to higher costs, pri marily on public housing and highway projects, rather than to an increase in physical vol ume of construction. Republican National Chairman Meade Alcorn ac cused congressional Demo crats of putting on a "legisla tive medicine show" with their anti-recession proposals. He called on them to "get to work on the carefully pre pared recession cures sub mitted by the administration. Stevenson Called Demo's Big Hope Chicaeo (IP) Adlai E.
