Gl Life Insurance
Dividends Higher
Washington -UPD- Veterans
today were assured higher
cash dividend payments on
their GI life insurance poli
cies, starting next year.
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.

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.

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

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

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.

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."

The Saturn booster will de
