House Subcommittee
Week Long Series of
Washington -IUPD- A House
subcommittee opened week
long hearings today on a bill
aimed at averting a nose-dive
in home building this spring
by giving the industry a "billion-dollar
shot-in-the-arm."
Chairman Albert Rains CD
Ala.) of the banking subcom
mittee predicted a substantial
decline in home building in
the next few months unless
Congress provides additional
mortgage credit.
His measure would set up
a special DUiion-aonar runa
for the purchase of FHA and
GI loans on lower priced
homes.
It was certain to get stiff
opposition from administra
tion witnesses. Summoned to
give the administration case
were top officials of the Hous
ing and Home Finance Agen
cy, Federal Housing Adminis
tration, Federal National
Mortgage Association and
Veterans Administration.
Rains said builders in some
areas were finding it impossi
ble to go ahead with construc
tion plans "because of the
scandalously high discounts
being charged by lenders in
connection with FHA and GI
loans."
He also said a survey of VA
and FHA field offices showed
in many areas the volume of
conventionally-financed hous
ing "is being artificially and
precariously maintained' by
"questionable" financing.
These methods, he said, in

TED J. RINEHART
Among Most Wanted
Ted J. Rinehart
Is Placed on 10
Most Wanted Lis!
Washington -(UPD-Ted Jacob
Rinehart, a suave but vicious
jewel thief with a fondness
for scotch, high society and
elderly women, was placed by
the FBI on its list of 10 most
wanted criminals today.
Rinehart has had a criminal
record for nearly half of his
33 years and has boasted that
he would make the one-time
notorious killer, "Baby Face"
Nelson "look like a piker."
He is known to be carrying a
revolver and the FBI admon
ishes that he should "be con
sidered armed and extremely
dangerous."
A man of many aliases, the
fugitive has been hunted by
the- FBI since last July 23
when he vanished from Flori
da after being suspected of
being the perpetrator of nu
merous housebreakings and
jewel thefts from well-to-do
homes.
Fondness for Scotch
The FBI reports Rinehart,
who was once tubercular, now
shows "a definite fondness"
for scotch, likes expensive
cars and diamond rings,
smokes expensive cigars, uses
tranquilizers e x t e n s i vely,
dresses neatly and often wears
sun glasses.
Between burglaries he goes
in for heavy drinking bouts
during which his brutal tem
per comes to the fore, accord
ing to police. He has several
times broken out of prison at
gunppint and on other occa
sions won parole or condition
al pardon on the mistaken be
lief he was willing to reform.
Rinehart is known as a cau
tious criminal who carefully
cases the wealthy homes he
robs. He uses proceeds from
his operations to finance fre
quent trips to Las Vegas,
Nev., gambling houses. The
wanted man often uses com
mercial airlines and rented
automobiles.
He was born Jan. 21, 1927,
in Poplar Bluff, Mo.; is 5 feet,
9li inches to 5 feet 10 Vz
tall, weighing between 145
and 160 pounds. He has a

Siafe of Siege
Declared in hope
Of Getting Order
Try to Force
De Gaulle Out
Algiers - (UPD - Heavily
armed European settlers be
gan strengthening their fort
ress - like barricades in the
heart of Algiers today in de
fiance of President Charles
de Gaulle's plea to "return to
national order."
The government declared a
state of siege in hopes of re
storing order among the stu
dents and settlers trying to
force De Gaulle out of office
because of their die-hard op
position to his "soft" peace
plans for Algeria. Schools
were closed.
But . the settlers ripped up
new patches of pavement and
brought in fresh wooden logs
to reinforce the breast-high
barricades that block off sev
eral streets in the center of
the city. They defiantly de
stroyed helicopter - dropped
leaflets bearing De Gaulle's
appeal.
Emergency Session Held
In Paris, De Gaulle met in
emergency session with Pre
mier Michel Debre to decide
whether to use force in a
showdown with the settlers.
The settlers and riot police
battled at sundown Sunday
and at least 20 persons were
reported killed.
A surrender ultimatum was
expected. The settlers show
ed no sign of surrender.
Heavy contingents of riot
police stood outside the bar
riers. Army troops were
streaming toward the city to
reinforce the garrisons al
ready there. Major intersec
tions were under heavy guard
and rolls of barbed wire pro
tected the government head
quarters. The settlers were entrench
ed only a short distance away.
Disturbances erupted again
today in Oran where a group
of rioters attempted Sunday
to seize the prefecture build
ing. The Oran demonstrators
stopped several city buses,
punctured their tires and
pushed them across the streets
to block them off.
Fight Pitched Battle
They included hundreds of
students and middle - aged
Europeans who formed a mob
of 20,000 Sunday and fought
a pitched battle with riot po
lice. ' An unofficial check of
hospitals showed 20 dead, 10
of them police, and 169
wounded in the fighting.
The army thus far was aloof
to the settlers' appeal to join
them in an uprising which
would bring the downfall of
De Gaulle and end what they
fear will be a surrender to
the Moslem rebels who have
been battling the Army for
five years.
Gen. Maurice Challe, su
preme military commander in
Algeria, warned in a broad
cast that "the uprising shall
not triumph against the
French Army." De Gaulle
broadcast appeals to the set
tlers to "return to national
order" and stop spilling each
other's blood.
The settlers have called for
a general strike to show their
anger against De Gaulle who
fired Maj. Gen. Jacques Mas
su, the paratroop hero who
led the May 13, 1958, upris
ing which topped the Fourth
Republic. That revolt brought
De Gaulle to power.
Militia Aids Rebels
Most of the casualties oc
curred in a bitter half-hour
of fighting that started at
dusk when youths and mid
dle aged settlers, spear-headed
by the city militia, threw
up .paving stone barricades
and formed a fortress against
riot police jeeps and trucks.
Exactly how the battle
started was not known. Police
said the settlers cut loose first
with a tommygun from their
massed ranks. The settlers
blamed the mobile guards and
the republican security police
which are special security
forces and not connected with
the Army.
The main battle was led by
the riot police. They charged
down a broad flight of steps
from the forum to the barri
cades, hurling tear gas bombs.
Later they fired rifles, light
machineguns and even mor
tars with a non-explosive

Washington -(UPD- Defense
Secretary Thomas S. Gates
Jr. declared today that the
recent downgrading of the
Russian missile threat by U.S.
intelligence was based on "a
refined and belter set of
facts" and not on guesswork.
Gates, testifying in public
before the House Space com

critics who charged the Ei

"hunches."
By implication, Gates said
that the previous testimony
he has given congressional
committees about the new in

stemmed from Gates' previ

said new intelligence made it
possible to estimate probable
Soviet missile production and
performance.

Fourteen Railroa
Cars Are Derailed
Sumas, Wash. - (UPD - Four
teen cars of a southbound
Northern Pacific freight train
jumped the tracks Sunday
night about 11 miles south of
this Canadian border com
munity, the railway company
reported.
. There were no injuries.
J. J. Ackley, a Northern
Pacific dispatcher at Seattle,
said the locomotive and the
other cars in the 54-car train
were left standing on the
track.
"The locomotive and one
car got by whatever caused
the derailment and the next
14 cars were derailed," Ack
ley said. "Thirteen were
loaded and one was empty."
About 400 feet of track was
ripped up and it was expected
to take four or five days for
repairs. The Northern Pa
cific planned to operate in
this area over Great Northern
tracks until the repairs were
completed.
The cars which were de
railed were loaded with po
tatoes, fish meal, quartz, ore
and shakes. Much of the
freight was destined for Cali
