Jets Performing Acrobatics Came Tec Close, Pilot Claims Las Vegas, Nev. U Air Force jet planes performed acrobats "closer than we like" to a commercial airliner near here on the same day a jet fighter plumeted onto anoth er civilian transport, killing 49 persons, the airliner's pilot reported today. The report was placed be fore mlitary and civilian air detectives who are interview ing 25 witnesses to the aerial collision and piecing together the shattered wreckage of the two planes. They are trying to find out why they came to gether in a cloudless sky and, most urgently, how to prevent another such tragic accident. Clamor for Safety Rules Congressional clamor for new safety rules for the na tion's skyways began minutes after word of Monday's crash reached Washington. Two congressional committees are already studying the problem. Civil Aeronautics Board in vestigators were confident they could find out the why. Air safety experts were less sure they could devise an en tirely fool-proof traffic system for the increasingly speeded up and crowded airlanes. American Airlines Capt. Robert R. Chase, of Van Nuys. Calif., said three jets engaged in aerial acrobatics "closer than we like to see them" to his airliner on Monday about 50 miles southwest of- Las Ve gas. The ill-fated United Air Lines plane collided with the .plunging F100F fighter-trainer just 12 miles southwest of Los Vegas. Zoomed From Selow Chase said the three jets zoomed up from below his plane, climbed to an unde termined altitude above it and apparently looped. He said his airliner was in no immediate danger, but "1 don't think they should be there." Chairman Prince H. Pres ton Jr. (D-Ga.) announced that a House appropriations sub committee will open an inves tigation Thursday into the cause of the collision. An observer was sent here from the nation's capital by Chairman A. S. Mike Monro ney (D-Okla.) of the Senate commerce subcommittee on aviation to make a report on the crash for that group. Jury Due To Gef Lee Parker Case Portland W The jury was scheduled to start delibera tions today in the first degree murder trial of Lee Parker, 31, for the death last year of Rob ert Holloway, 44, Portland ce ment finisher whose body was found in a well near Vernonia. Parker was the final de fense witness and denied state apcusations attempting to link him with the slaying. He said he and Holloway were good friends. Harold Keith, 43, was sepa rately charged in connection with Holloway's death and has not yet been tried. Trr f -Cms, - ' y ltd" " y i l : LAli Rebel Saboteurs Killed in Cuba Havana (IP) The Army announced today that nine rebel saboteurs have been killed in Cuba in the past 36 hours three of them by the premature explosion of their own bombs. Among the casualties of the blast in a rebel bomb factory in Matanzas was Armando Hart Davalos, a leading foe of President Fulgencio Ba tista's government. An Army communique said loyal forces killed four rebels caught trying to sabotage the Charco Mono da,m and two who tried to blow up a port able power plant in Bayamo. 4 LEE ANN WEDS Lee Ann Meriwether, Miss America of 1955, beams as she snuggles up to her new husband, New York actor Frank Aletter, following their marriage at the St. Francis Episcopal Church in San Francisco, Calif. The couple had planned a July wedding, but moved the date up when Aletter got a three-week leave from the Broadway musical "The Bells Are Rinoino-." A POOR DECISION Richmond, Ind. OP) Paul E. French of Centerville, 111., didn't know when he had it so good. After drawing a $50 fine and a 60-day workhouse sentence for drunken driving, he demanded and was grant ed a jury trial on appeal.

Pregnant Picket Charges Denies Portland W An official of Fred Meyer, Inc., has branded as "cheap prop aganda" a charge by a union official that the firm used pregnant girls from a social agency to picket a Fred Meyer store in downtown Portland. Union pharmacists are on strike against Fred Meyer drug sections in Portland for higher pay. Earle Chiles, general man ager of the supermarket chain, said "We did employ two women to carry banners on the picket line but we did so through reliable employ ment channels." The union claims were first aired Monday night at a meet ing of the Multnomah Cen tral Labor Council by Gordon Swope, business agent for the Food and Drug Clerks union. Chiles said "The union pharmacists claim that one or both of the women sent us were pregnant. If they were, it was in no way apparent nor did we have any know ledge of it." The women carried signs saying that wages demanded by the striking pharmacists would raise the price of drugs. MILITARY MAN AIRPORTS Buenos Aires---(IP) Argen tine air force personnel man ned the nation's strikebound airports today and planes aboard were able to land at Ezeiza International Airport here.
