Veterans Administration of ficials said the increase prob ably will be about 4 per cent in 1961, with prospect of fur ther increases in future years. The increase payments will go to an estimated five mil lion veterans holding Nation al Service Life Insurance policies issued in World War II and about 300,000 World War I veterans. A VA official said the payments will total about $10 million. The veterans who hold NSLI policies are scheduled to receive dividends averag ing $50 this year. The boost is expected to raise the ave rage dividend to about $52 in 1961. o Tte Foyer Manager Road PhoneQSP 3-6162 12 foot structure is designed to shelter fovg to six persons and contains everything from a kitchen sink to a television set.

(UPI 'Selephoto) Moslem Laborers Cleaning Up Mess Left by Rebels Algiers, Algyia-(UPD-A force of Moslem laborers armed with brooms and shovels to day took over the garbage-s'g-ewn remains of what had been a mid-city fortress for 4,000 insurgent settlers. One of the two key leaders of the revolt was under ar rest in France, the other -was in flight and the flag of Presi dent Charles de Gaulle's per sonal representative flew over Algiers again. Return io Homes The rest of the rebels, who had held out for eight days in an attempt to start a wide scale revolt against de Gaulle, were allowed to return to their homes or join the For eign Legion. The Moslems who moved into the area the settlers had occupied faced a mammoth clean-up job - mountains of empty wine and cognac bot tles, orange peels and discard ed revolutionary tracts. The barricades were bull dozed down by the Foreign Legion Monday but the paving blocks still had to be reset if? the streets. Threat of Assault The rebels, led by Pierre Lagaillardend Joseph Ortiz, surrendered without a figit Monday. They gave up under the threat of an assault by French Foreign Legionnaires rushed in from the hinterland. Most were Germans. And with each passing hour it became increasingly clear that the insurgents were fight ing a losing cause. The insur rection already had crumbled elsewhere in Algeria and there was little popular sup port in metropolitan France. Even more important, the French army rallied behind de Gaulle and the military began putting the squeaae on. Delegate General Paul De louvrier and Gen. Maurice Challe, supreme commander of the 500,000 troops in Al geria, returned to Algiers Monday night. Homesick Horses Find Way Back Home Eveleth, Minn. A team of horses found its way home from a farm where the two had been taken more than a year before. Farmer J. A. Byers said the horses broke down a pasture fence at his son's farm and trotted back ' home along a busy highway. Byers found them grazing contentedly in a field near his barn, none the worse for the 10-mile trek. or SP 2-7111 Future Defense Plans Inadequate, Probers Informed Washington DPD Gen. Thomas S. Power, head of the Strategic Air Command, re fused today to back away from his grim warning on Russian striking power de spite the insistence of his civilian bcss that he was "unrealistic." Power also told senators in vestigating the nation's mili- tary posture that future de fense plans are inadequate. He asked that Congress pro vide funds to keep, "the high est possible percentage" cf his bombers Airborne at all times. The SAC commander said he stands behind "every state ment " of a recent speech in which he warned that Russia could knock out the U.S striking force in 30 minutes with 300 ballistic missiles -only half of them interconti nental in range. Defense Secretary Thomas S. (Gates Monday disputed this as "unrealistic." Army Secretary Testifies Power testified at a com bined hearing of the Senate Space Committee and armed services preparedness sun committee. At the Qpame time, Army SenSretary Wilber M.oBruck- er. appearing before the Sen ate military appropria tions subcommittee, said the U.S. should not give all its attention to the Soviet threat in the middle field but also should concentrate on ground strength. 0 Along that line, Brucker compared Communist China to "a crouched tiger ready to serine on any prey xnai is weak and wounded." Power was the lead-off wit ness at the much - heralded launching of public hearings by the Senate group on' how long the Russians may hold their missile superiority over the U.S. Power's estimate of U. S. potential was not entirely dim. He testified that his Strategic Air Command is the most powerful "in the world - in the history of the world." No Warning of Attack He said the nation now nossesses the necessary de terrent margin" to keep the Russians from attacking. In stressing the word "margin" he ignored Gates' assertion before several congressional groups that there will be no "deterrent gap." Power said the big problem centers around "surviveabil ity" of American forces after an initial Russian attack -whether the deterrent margin can be maintained. Present facilities, he said, give no warning of a Soviet 2- :-i -tl..l. Hi. TT C miSSllc atlctcn.. ac aaiu planes therefore should be kept aloft 'don a continuous airborne alert" to preserve the deterrent margin. Power said SAC has "proven" the "factual" feasibility of this type of alert. Power replied "no" when asked if he was satisfied with the adequacy of U.S. defense plans. He also was asked if he thought air alert funds in President Eisenhower's new budget are adequate. "Not in the percentage that I want - that is needed," he replied. Kennedy Stakes Maryland Claim Washington -(UPD-Sen. John F. Kennedy (D-Mass.) stakes his claim in Maryland today to 24 of the 450 delegates he5: hopes to have upon entering the Democratic presidential convention next July. Kennedy was set to an nounce his entry in Mary land's May 17 presidential preference primary at a joint news conference in Annap olis with Gov. Millard Tawes later today. Kennedy will be applying a political hot-foot to Sen. Stu art Symington (D-Mo.) in the backyard o f Symington's youth. Symington, who has ignored all primary chal lenges of Kennedy and Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D Mina.), was raised in Balti more. As things now stand, the 42-year-old Kennedy is likely to have the Maryland primary to himself, with Tawes' bless ing. The governor, it was un derstood, decided to pass up a "favorite son" role in favor of inviting Kennedy to enter.

Russians Putting Man in Orbit This Year Wouldn't Surprise Von Braun Washington-(lTD-Dr. Wern her von Braun said today he "wouldn't be surprised" if the Russians put a man in orbit around the earth this year. The U.S. does not plan to attempt the feat until late 1961. The German-born rocket expert, testifying before the House Space Committee, said Russia is several years ahead in space work and he is "very doubtful" if the U.S. can catch up by 1964 even with new funds allotted for the big Saturn space rocket. Southerners Could Delay Amendment To End Poll Tax Washington - (UPD - Senate leaders hoped to reach a vote today on the proposed consti tutional amendment to out law the poll tax but southern opponents could delay a show down. Sen. Richard B. Russell (D Ga.) leader of the southern bloc, conceded probable pass age of the controversial pro posal, which has tied up the Senate since last week. But Russell said he would vote against it if he had to "stand alone." The amendment was of fered by Sen. Spessard Hol land (D-Fla.) as a rider to aJ proposed constitutional pro vision to let governors tem porarily fill vacancies in the house if sudden disaster should wipe out more than half its membership. Battle Rages As a proposal to amend the Constitution, Holland's meas ure requires approval by two thirds of the House and Sen ate and ratification by three- Sinfonietta Draws Full House Here By R. D. WERNER The second concert of the 1959-60 season of the Civic Music association drew a full house last night in spite of the rain. Appearing was the National Artists Sinfonietta with William Haaker as mu sical director and Amparo Iturbi as piano soloist. The sinfonietta, comprising one first violin, one second violin, one viola, one cello and one contrabass, was over balanced by one flute, one oboe, two clarinets, one bas soon and two French horns The trumpet player had very little to do except in the open ing piece - ? "Voluntary" by Jeremiah Clarke, composed in the 17th century. It was well that Director Haaker chose this piece to open the concert. Although the trumpet was much too prominent for the rest of the instruments it did succeed in calling the concert "to order." The Civic Music association management was amiss cour tesy wise in allowing late comers to be seated after the j music had begun. The leasj; an audience can do is come before time and if late, wait until the first piece or move ment is finished. Those in charge should see that this courtesy is shown visiting ar tists. It is now knoXvn, despite TV, that westerners are no longer wild and let us show we are no longer wooly. Exception Noted . Second on the program was the very beautiful "Siegfried Idyll" by Wagner. As the director explained to the au dience, the instrumentation was for the same number of players as are in the Sinfoni etta. There was this one ex ception - at its first playing the strings were at the head of the stairway, the wood winds in the center and the brass at the bottom. Knowing that sound rises, Wagner un erringly did the right thing under the circumstances. That is why he had the orchestra pit lowered in the Testspiell haus at Bayreuth. It seems to us that placing the strings in the center as a string quintet with the woodwinds and brass in the rear would have been solution. It would have necessitated some moving around but no more than was required to move the piano. Amparo Iturbi, sister of the famous Jose," has always been a brilliant pianist in her own right. In the concerto by Haydn she displayed her own style which to us is more pleasing than tlie flamboyant pyro-technics of Jose. She ap pears more "simpatico" to the music than to the instrument. And it is also relief to be Von Braun also said it would not come as a surprise if the Russians made a "soft" landing on the moon by an unmanned vehicle during 1960. The National Aeronau tics and Space Administra tion's plans call for a U.S. landing sometime in 1963-S4. Other U.S. and Soviet ex perts have suggested that Russia may beat America to Mars by two years. Has Sufficient Money Von Braun, who heads a missle team in charge of de veloping a 1.5-million pound fourths of the states The civil rights battle raged jn both branches of Congress. In the House, Rep. Leo E. Al len (R-IU.) predicted that a civil rights bill would be passed by the end of this month. Allen is ranking Republi can on the House Rules Com mittee, which broke a House deadlock Monday by agreeing to start hearings on the meas ure Thursday. Other congressional news: Taxes: The House was ready to begin debate on the first tax-cutting bill of the session. It would repeal the tax on tires and tubes supplied with new U.S.-made bicycles. Back ers said the measure would reduce the cost of making a bike by 25 cents or a total of $500,000 for the annual U. S. output. . . Forestry: Sen. John Stennis (D-Miss.) asked Congress to put up $6 million for forestry research next year instead of the $1,786,000 asked by Presi- able to listen to the music and not be distracted by a lot of "body English." After all, the piano is supposed to be played with the hands. After intermission Haaker directed Mozart's "Symphony in G Minor Op. 40." This music is ultra fine, even for Mozart, but yet of more sub stance than the lone string players could bring forth. Be it said for the director that his tempi were most excel lent and correct. Mozart is usually played too fast. Evi dently Haaker heeds the ad monition of Richard Strauss "play Mozart slower than written." In that way the in ner beauties and bubbling ef fervescence can come to the surface. Contrast Given As a contrast three mem bers of the woodwind section played two short pieces for flute, oboe and clarinet, by a contemporary com poser. Too bathey only played two - they were delightful. In closing Miss Iturbi play ed Liszt's "Hungarian Fan tasie." This very brilliant piece in the finsst Liszt vir tuoso manner was done bril liantly by the soloist but did n't quite "come off' because of lack of orchestral "body." Noticeably missing was the timpani. The soloist respond ed with two Spanish pieces as encores. o The sound emanating from the radiators was so pro nounced that a few members of the orchestra had trouble restraining themselves, being under the impression that a member of the audience was snoring. It was very annoy ing to say the least. Of course, it is an old auditorium and perhaps if is signaling our citizens to be up and about building a new one. Man Gives Doctors Something To Do Hopkinsville, Ky. - Steve Schewire wasn't feeling well. So the 53-year-old man had himself admitted to a hospital for a checkup. Doctors made tests and the next day re leased him. A few minutes after his re lease they were examining Schewire all over again. After leaving the hospital, he .walked across the street and was struck by a car. We Give j-?l GREEN STAMPS CENTRAL REXALL DRUG Main and Central thrust engine for the Saturn rocket said the $113 million which President Eisenhower poured into the space pro gram Mopday, mostly for Sa turn, is about all he can profitably spend. He turned aside all offers of committee members to press on him additional mil lions. He said additional money could be spent, of course, but that it probably would be pasted. Van Braun said the extra funds he got Monday for the rest of this year and fiscal dent Eisenhower. Stennis urged in a prepared speech that ($2,500,000 be spent for construction and $3,500,000 for beefing up forestry re search. Jetliners: Civil Aeronautics Board Chairman James R. Burfee told Congress that U.S. plane manufacturers need prompt government help and mone? or else they might lose out to foreign firms in compe tition to maks 2,000 mile an hour jet airliners. He wrote to the chairman of the Senate and House Commerce com mittees that Britain and Rus sia were known to be subsi dizing development of such supersonic transports. King of Circus Clowns Who Drew Laughs for Over 50 Years Dies New York-(UPD-The King's doman covered a vast area as large as all the United States and then some and he was dearly loved by his peo ple, especially the children. His royal raiment was a baggy spotted costume with a big bustle and long, floppy yellow feet. His face was chalk white with a bald dome and his crown was a tiny, cone-shaped cap. On his face was painted a huge red mouth in a perpetual grin with two large teeth. His FELIX ADLER Funny Antics Silenced nose was a bulbous red that lighted up. 50 Years of Laughs His name was Felix Adler and he was King of the Clowns. Todav the Kim? is dead.

Russians Well Ahead But he said the Russians no doubt also will be forging ahead in their space work during this period. He said he assumes they even now are developing a rocket larger than any they have yet tested. "Even with this speed-up program," he said, "it is very doubtful that by 1964 we will be ahead." "Will we ever catch up?" asked Rep. Victor L. Anfuso (D-N.Y.). "We just have to keep run ning," Von Barun replied. The Russians are putting a lot of chips on the big rockets used on their now-concluded Pacific ocean tests. Soviet academician A. A. Blagonravov said in advance that success of the Pacific program could make a shot at Mars possible this year. Another Russian scientist, Prof. V. Dobronravov, has been quoted as saying that big boosters like these used in the Pacific firings could launch recoverable satellites and send scientific instru ments to the planets and back. No Probe Before 1962 The U.S. timetable, as dis closed last week by Richard E. Horner NASA, has no pro vision for a planetary probe before 1962. The U. S. does not hope to send really big payloads to two emergency operations at St. Clare's hospital. For more than 50 years Felix delighted his subjects with his antics. Millions of Americans laughed at his clumsy buffoonery from Mad ison Square Garden to Chi cago. Peoria and wherever else the Ringling Bros., 3ar- num & Bailey Circus could set up its big tents. , Felix saw his first circus when he was a boy of nine in Clinton, Iowa. He decided then and there that he would be a tight-rope walker. He broke his mother's clothesline regularly trying to walk from one end of the line to the other. Stayed With Circus The following year, when just a lad of 10, Felix ran away with Ringling Bros., the next time it passed through town. His parents soon caught up with -him but upon seeing how happy the boy was with the circus decided to let him remain. He was assigned to a group of acrobats who tossed him around in the air with their feet but he soon noticed that his awkward falls delighted the audience. "Everyone laughed at my failures, so I turned cl-wn and scored a howling success," he said recently. Felix didn't believe that the clown's painted smile hides a broken heart. Clowns really are a care free bunch," he once said. "In all the years of my life in the rtng I have never seen a clown suffering from a broken heart. I've seen a lot of them broke, though." I Gal. .

The Saturn booster will de velop 1.500,000 pounds of thrust. The booster used by the Russians in the Pacific tests may be of comparable power, according to some American estimates. Whatever it is, they have it now. It is flight-tested and ready for space missions. Rus sia's Tass news agency said it worked so well that the Soviets were able to complete their Pacific tests 15 days ahead of time. The next favorable date for launching a probe to Mars is Oct. 1, 1960. Samper!
