Air Force Asks Academy Funds WASHINGTON U The Air Force is seeking an initial appro priation of $14,338,000 for its new academy, the counterpart of West Point and Annapolis, to be built near Colorado Springs, Colo. Congress has authorized an ex penditure of 26 million dollars dur ing the current fiscal year, one million of it on a temporary aca demy to be occupied until the per manent one is ready. This author ization was contained in the bill creating the academy. Testimony on the actual money bin, taken by the House Appropria tions Committee .behind closed doors, was made public Tuesday. MaJ. Gen. Lee B. Washbourne, assistant Air Force chief of staff for installations, testified the Air Force estimates the academy will cost about 125 million dollars but "It might go, in some of our think ing, up another 20 million dollars." Mother Sues Army For Son's Injury SAN FRANCISCO Wi Charles Brunettl, 14, gladly took advantage of a visitors' day offer to ride in an Army tank at Camp Hunter Liggett last July 31. Yesterday, his mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Brunettl, filed suit ask ing $100,000 damages from the gov ernment. She charged Charles suffered a permanent brain Injury when bounced against the tank's steel turret. ACCIDENT TOKYO Wl One U.S. Marine was killed and three were injured yesterday when a tank plunged off a 15-foot embankment and burned at the 3rd Marine Division Camp Fuji tank range about 50 miles south of here, It was an nounced today. Names were withheld. 'closer proximity to the major cen ters of Indian population, points up the increased emphasis which the Bureau Is now giving to this phase of its operations. Two other recent developments aiso underline tne growing Impor tance of relocation activity. One Is the focusing of attention by Commissioner Glenn L. Em mons on tiie urgent need for pro viding reservation Indians with wider and more diverse oppor tunities for economic advancement. Commissioner Emmons has stressed this theme frequently and has pointed to the Bureau's relo cation program as one practical answer to the problem. Relocation was also, featured prominently in tne report ot tne survey team which completed an organization study of the Bureau 111 late 1953. "More attention," the report stated, "should be given to Indians' needs as individuals and in helping them earn a livelihood in much the same ways as the majority of American people who are working for salaries and wages in towns and cities." The Bureau's present relocation program is an outgrowth of job placement activities which began about seven years ago on the Np vajo Reservation aimed chiefly at channeling Indian workers into sea sonal employment In agriculture and on the railroads. Since that time seasonal job placement among' the Indians has ' been turned over almost entirely to the Stale employment services and the Railroad Retirement Board while the Bureau has centered its attention increasingly on helping Indians to make a permanent move away from the reservations. Today the Bureau has relocation personnel stationed In 14 Indian agencies and in four cities where substantial numbers of Indians have been relocating. Agency relocation personnel are headquartered in North Dakota at Belcourt, Fort Yates and New Town; in South Dakota at Pine Ridge and Rosebud; in Oklahoma at Muskogee and Anadarko; in Arizona at -Phoenix, Sells, and Window Rock; in Montana at Har lem; in New Mexico at Albuquer que; in Minnesota at Cass Lake; and in Wisconsin at Ashland. The four city offices are in Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, and Oak land. California. Under the new move the Denver field office will be combined with national head quarters. Lying behind the Bureau's recent stress on relocation are two in creasingly obvious and stubborn physical facts. One Is the fact that on most Indian reservations today the lands are not capable of pro viding a decent level of living for more than a fraction of the pres ent population. The other is the fact that tribal populations are steadily Increasing, in most cases at a more rapid rate than the gen eral population throughout the country. To help the Indians In escaping from this squeeze between sub marginal resources and growing populations, Commissioner Em mons has emphasized three types of action: (1) additional develop ment of reservation resources, through Irrigation and similar work, wherever feasible: (2) establishment of private industries ana "payroll" enterprises around the perimeters of reservations; and (3) relocation. The relocation program is com pletely voluntary and is intended simply as a service for Indians who decide on their own Initiative to re-establish themselves and their families in non-Indian com munities. It involves not only counseling and guidance but also a moderate amount of financial aid for those who need it'in mak ing the transition. LAWNS Da ? want a rood liwn r Jaat ft low price?

Board Studies Racial Charge PORTLAND UP) A charge that there -was racial discrimination against a University of Oregon ex change student from Africa is un der investigation by the State Bu reau of Labor. He Is Godfrey Ibom, 24, a stu dent from Nigeria. Edwin C. Berry, Urban League secretary here, said Ibom was denied serv ice June 22 at a hotel coffee shop in Athena, Ore., where he had gone to work for the summer in a can nery. Furthermore, Berry said, the manager threatened to throw Ibom out. Frank Leach, the manager, said Tuesday Ibom was refused serv ice not because of his race but because "he acted crazy or some thing." W. E. Kimsey, state labor com missioner, said the charge was the 13th of its kind filed since the state civil rights law went into effect a year ago. In six cases, he said, discrimina tion was proved, and the violators promised to stop it. No violation was found In four cases. Kimsey said two more are pending, the Athena case and one in Portland. "All told I believe the very small number of complaints reveals a healthy situation in regard to dis crimination in Oregon," he com mented. The Bureau of Labor has no en forcement power. It tries to smooth over discrimination trouble through education. The Portland case, which came up Monday, involves two railroad dining car waiters who did not get service at a cafe. British, U.S. iif i ueai nmrea LONDON Wl An authorlative British informant spread word among newsmen Tuesday that the United States and Britain are "pretty well agreed" on division of Viet Nam somewhere between the 16th and 18th parallels, as a basis of an Indochina settlement. The foreign office and the Amer ican embassy would not comment. The informant, who gave this in formation with the understanding his name would not be used, said the partition line would be as far north as possible, "short and dem onstrably defensible and one that the Communists will understand Is defensible." He outlined two other points Washington and London want In a settlement: 1. The French Union forces should hold some position in the Communist-controlled north after Viet Nam is divided. He named the port of Haiphong In this con text because it is defensible. The view appears to be that the in land city of Hanoi cannot be held as things stand now. 2. An exchange of populations should be provided for between the two parts of Viet Nam. Presi dent Elsenhower has said he would not be party to Bny settlement that enslaved people. A provision of this sort presumably would make it easier for him to accept the fin al settlement.

Macartney Jr. House Kills Health Bill WASHINGTON W House Re publican leader Halleck of Indiana dolefully pulled a shroud today over a key item In President Eisen hower's health program. "It's dead," he said of a proposal for federal reinsurance of commer cial health Insurance plans to en courage them to expand coverage and benefits. The House voted 238-134 yester day to send the reinsurance propo sal back to the House Commerce Committee to the astonishment of House Republican leaders, who had been confidently forecasting easy passage. Halleck told the House that re committal of the bill would kill it because Congress Is working for adjournment In a little over two weeks. Halleck told newsmen the plan's death Is traceable to "Democrats who didn't think It goes far enough and some Republicans who think it goes too far." He also placed some of the blame on the American Medical Assn., which he said ex erted considerable pressure against the proposal. The bill would authorize the fed eral government to underwrite up to 75 oer cent of the losses suffered by private and nonprofit insurance firms as a result of voluntary ex pansion of their health and medi cal programs.

Rambunctious Twins Stage Protesting Hunger Strike LOS ANGELES Wl The fasting Finn twins learn today If It's food for supper or Just the 23rd day of a starvation strike. The U.S. Circuit Court of Ap peals Is slated to rule on an appeal for ball for the twins, who were sentenced to a year's Jail term for interfering with a government officer. The 40 - year - old Identical brothers, protesting against the "injustice" of their sentence and the government's seizure of their war surplus transport plane, have vowed to shun food until they die or are released. Whatever the outcome, the case of the Flying Finns has become the biggest human interest story locally in many a year. Los Angeles newspapers report on the brothers' starvation rigors with banner headlines. Finn fan clubs have sprung up. Auto stick ers with "Hurry up and help the Finns" have appeared on the high ways. In Bnkersfleld money is be ing collected to help them. Charles weighed 138 at the start of the fast and George, 135. Their lastest weights are 112 and 111. The Finn case started with pur chase of a C46 from a school dis trict near Bakersfield, where, it had been used as a clnssroom. The Finns spent several thousand dol lars reconditioning it and flew it 18 months. The government then began action to get It back, hold ing that the contract with the school district forbade its resale except for scrap. That touched off a comedy of eriors with the twins flying the ship from Bakersfield to an air strip near Death Valley. The FBI arrived to serve a contempt war rant for removing the plane in vio lation of a government order. George had taken over Charles" post as guard and the FBI served served the wrong warrant. In court, George wouldn't tell If ha were George or Charles and got Jailed for contempt. They were ac quitted when their lawyer showed the government never had legal possession of the plane. With the acquittal, the Finns thought the government acted Il legally when the Air Force was ordered to remove the ship to Nellls Air Force Base near Las Vegas, Nev. That's when they slapped hand cuffs on U.S. Atty. Laughlin E, Waters as he left a hotel. The Finns said they wanted to make a citizen's arrest of the prosecutor but a federal Judge thought other wise. He gave them the year In Jail. That started the fasting. The Finns drink water and officials at the California Medical Facility at Terminal Island have given orders in fnrr fri th Itun nnl,, it ih-i. condition becomes critical.
