acksaw Blades Still lissmg bp Quentin Escape Attempt Sen. Mansfield Cautious Over Medicare Plan Washington - lUPli - Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield today expressed both optimism and some re straint over chances of Senate approval of a compromise old age health care proposal. Mansfield said following Democratic congr e s a i o n a 1 leaders' weekly breakfast meeting with President Ken nedy that he felt there was sufficient support to pass the legislation. Later, just before the Sen ale began to debate a welfare bill which was ticketed to be the vehicle for attaching the medicare proposal in amend ment form, Mansfield men tioned a couple of possible difficulties. In other development: Railroads: Three railroad officials testified before the Senate antitrust subcommittee that a bill to block certain railroad mergers until 1964 would be damaging to both the industry and to the coun try. -One witness, Pennsyl vania railroad chairman James M. Symes, said the re suit would be to push some lines to the brink of bank ruptcy. Rusk: Secretary of Slate Dean Rusk told the House Foreign Affairs Committee In testimony made public today that countries which call themselves neutral are not really "innocent bystanders' In the cold war, but are them selves the issue - they and their future. His statements were made Monday in urging congressional a p proval of President Kennedy's proposal to buy $100 million worth of United Nations bonds. D I a c r I m i n a 1 ion: Rep. Charles C. Diggs Jr. (D Mich.) charged that there are many instances of continued racial discrimination in the Air Force and that the Pentagon has failed to do anything about it. The Negro congress man asked President Ken nedy to urge his newly named citizens advisory com mittee to make a full investi gation of "this continuing humiliating discrimination." USIA Destroys 10,000 Pamphlets On Space Efforts Washington -UPH- The U. S. Information Agency Is grind ing into pulp 10,000 copies of n pamphlet on U. S. space achievements. The trouble I thai after some of the copies had been distributed to U. S. embassies abroad, il was discovered that they contained descriptions and pictures of two satellites about which the Pentagon does not talk. Those were prototype ver sions of the Midas, designed to detect missile launchings by infrared sensors, and Sainos, an observation satellite to ex amine "the nature of the globe." Decided on Silence Both have been popularly dubbed "spies in the sky" and as far back as November, lSlfil, the administration de cided it would be better for International public relations purposes not to talk about thorn. The pamphlet. "U. S. Sulci-litcs-The First 50," was print ed for the U. S. government in Manila. It apparently dis closed no government secrets, but U. S. embassies around the world were ordered to kill it. Somehow, tlic slate depart ment apparently missed word n the cancellation. United Press International picked up a copy fmm a table in the Public Affairs office. It was apparently the last copy. Nikifa's Pledge To Aid Red China Said Expected Moscow 4UPD-- Premier Ni kila Khrushchev's pledge to aid Red China against attack was viewed by Western ob servers here today as a mod erate counterpart to President Kennedy's restatement of U.S. policy on Formosa. The observers felt that Khrushchev's warning to Na tionalist China and the United States Monday was a predict able move. They pointed out that Soviet officials frequently have said an attack on one member of the "socialist camp" would be considered an attack upon all. In an address to the nation, Khrushchev warned that any attack on Communist China would lead to a "crushing re buff" from the entire Com munist bloc. Attacks Chiang The Soviet leader accused Nationalist Chinese President Chiang Kai-shek of preparing an assault on the Chinese mainland with U.S. backing. He said such an "advpnturous undertaking ... is doomed to complete failure. Khrushchev's declaration followed Kennedy's June 27 reaffirmation that the United States "would not remain in active if the Red Chinese launched an atlack aimed at seizing Nationalist - held For mosa. Kennedy noted reports of a massing of Communist forces opposite the offshore islands of Quemoy and Matsu, which are occupied by the Chinese Nationalists. Slatemtnti Almost Paralltl Kennedy said in his state ment that any aggressive ac tions toward Ouemov and Matsu would be Judged in re lation to their threat to For mosa and "the peace of the area." Western observers here in terpreted the slatemenls by Kennedy and Khrushchev as being almost parallel. They said Khrushchev's warning was nearly Identical in tone to the 11158 Soviet position In support of Peiping when East and West disputed Qurnviy and Matsu.

The six men, all convicted murders, were put in solitary confinement after they failed Monday in an effort to break out of the well-known prison. Warden Fred Dickson said all attempts to learn about the hacksaw blade from the prisoners have been futile. "They don't talk," he said. The six men held two guards captive for three hours during their attempted break, but they got no farther than the heavy steel door that seals off Death Row. The guards, both injured by the prisoners, were released, as were two guns the inmates took from one hostage, when other guards fired about 40 tear gas shells into the cell block. The convicts tried to bar gain for their freedom by tele phone with Dickson, but prison policy does not permit the doors to be opened even if the warden's life is at stake. The prisoners finally surrend ered. Ready To Quit Clyde Bates, a mass mur derer from Los Angeles, told Dickson: "Warden, we're ready to give up. We don't want some one to come in here with tom my guns and shoot us like rats." Besides Bates, those taking part In the escape bid were Luis Moya, 23, Augustine Baldonado, 2!); David Bicklcy. 22; Manuel Chavez, 30; and Willard Winhovcn, 51. All but Bicklcy were sentenced to die, and Bickley's sentence had just been reversed pend ing a new trial on the death penalty Ilershey. Pa.
