Transport Limps
To Home Base
On Three Engines
Travis AFB. 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.

tion. Handy, the "father of the
blues," died in New York last
week.

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. An increase in layoffs was
reflected by the fact the
number of new claims for un
employment compen s a t i o n
went up last week. They rose
by 17,500 to 421,900, revers
ing a two-week decline.!
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. Stev
enson, twice defeated in his
bids for the presidency, re
mains the Democratic party s
"best hope m 1960," accord
ing to Sen. Richard L. Neu
berger (D-Ore.).
Neuberger said iriday it
hac hommp inpreasinslv aD-
parerA the 1960 nominee will
not oijly carry the election out
will be a person of "extraor
dinary talent and toresignt.
The "Oreeon Democrat said
that "recent international de
velopments in the field of
nuclear testing only serves to
heighten the wisdom of what
Stevenson said during the
1956 campaign.
Stevenson had made nu
clear controls an important
issue in the 1956 campaign
and warned repeatedly of the
dangers of strontium-90.
"It's my opinion Stevenson
continues to be the best hope
of the Democratic party,"
Neuberger said.
Bituminous coal-production
