Their hopes were expressed to the House Appropriations Commit- Expensive Call Settles Hassle JERSEY CITY. N.J. W A small bet led to considerable ex pense, but the night before St. Patrick's Day is no time for Irish men to be counting their money. So James McCloskey, a peace ful man, put in a transatlantic call to Dublin all for the sake of harmony, you understand. It all started when about 30 of the boys, wearing green hats, em erald ties and the like, gathered at a bar here last night and start ed talking about the ould sod. Now up stepped Brian Sharkey, a young lad of 28, and started telling how his Uncle Sean fought the good fight in the old Sinn Fein days. It was Easter of 1916, Brian says, when his uncle led a com pany of 20 -men behind Nelson's Pillar, a monument in the mid dle of O'Connell St. in Dublin, and held off the whole British army. Now a 53-year-old gent by the name of John Touhy disputed young Brian's tale. 'Pouhy, who had been in Ireland at the time allowed how Uncle Sean may have been a brave man, but he didn't go behind Nelson's Pillar with no 20 meir. nelson s Pillar, he said, just . wasn't big enough to cover 20 men. Eacn of the boys in the tavern took a side, and the argument beean to get heated when Me Closkey stepped in and offered to settle it. No piker, McCloskey picked up the phone and called Eamon de VaVlera, the prime minister him self, in Dublin. But De VaVlera was staying at the Irish Embassy in London of all places and was not available. Unabashed, McCloskey called the police headquarters in Dublin and spoke to Frank Doris, acting chief of police. He explained the matter to Doris and asked him to settle the argument. Doris thought about it for a time, then said that in point of fact Uncle Sean and his 20 men could have gotten cover behind Nelson's pillar. They could, you understand, but they didn't, t Trouble was, Doris explained, the English were on the rooftops right behind Nelson's Pillar and ended up by wiping out most of Uncle Sean's company. So Doris awarded the bet to Touhy. Shark v, the best of sports, paid off at ot.ce with a bottle of Irish whisky, )f course. As for McCloskey, he was pre scnted vith a phone bill for $23. tee during recent closed door hearings on the fiscal 1959 budget of the Department of Health. Ed ucation and Welfare. The com mittee made public their testi mony today. Dr. John R. Heller, director of the National Cancer Institute. said research programs "are pro viding a momentum which - was unknown in the cancer field a few short years aso." The expected breakthroughs in research, he said, "may lead tc better understanding of the origin and nature of cancer; they may ooen direct and short oaths to drug cures: they may point the way to widespread prevention of cancer through immunization." Virus studies, Heller saidhave reached the poin' where develop ment of a vaccine may be "around the corner." He said that 'when we get a vaccine, we can prevent cancer." Heller told the committee it al ready is possible to produce a vaccine against cancer in animals and that in 80 per cent of the cases tested, the animals treated have been protected against can cer, particularly leukemia. "If we can produce a vaccine against leukemia in animals," he said, "there is hope that we can produce such a vaccine for hu mans. Heller said there is "grave sus picion that excessive concentra tions of automobile exhaust i fumes), which contain what we call polycyclic hydrocarbons, will produce cancers in the human." Some animals exposed to such fumes." he added, "have become cancerous. i 4 ' ' Jobless Pay Program In U.S. Is Explained DIANE BURTON, 1 6, daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Ken neth Burton, Fort Jones, was sponsored by the Yreka Foot Printers as a delegate to the Governor's Youlh Conference in Sacramento.

"Their amazing lack of con crete action stands in sharp con trast with their pious words about the plight of jobless workers," Al corn said in a speech prepared for a Republican women's nation al conference. Alcorn said the Democrats, who control Congress, should stop try ing to "sow the seeds of panic" over the recession and get to work on President Eisenhower's pro posals aimed at economic recov ery. Eisenhower will discuss the eco nomic situation tomorrow in a speech to the roughly 1,700 wom en gathered for the two-day con ference. Vice President Nixon and Cabinet members greeted the women at a reception last night. Alcorn, listing steps Eisenhow er has taken to reverse the re cession, predicted the "effects of these actions will be felt strongly in our conomy during the weeks and months ahead." The President's antirecession proposals will have "strong Re publican support." Alcorn said. adding: "The Democrat leader ship in Congress could make a real contribution to quick econom ic recovery by taking immediate action on these proposals and by permitting immediate ac tion tipon several additional im nortant administration recommen dations which have been pending for some time." He said Eisenhower's recom mendations for tax relief and oth er help to small business have been either ignored or enacted in part.

Police said the youth, Michael Murphy, walked into a station house, gave himself up and de clared: "She was going to quit me so I killed her. Police gave this account: The girl, red-haired Katherine for Noonan, was found dead on a h"i in the ground-floor apartment, which Murphy shared with his .01' brother Brendan, 34. There were marks on her face as if she had been struck, and there were what appeared to bs strangulation marks on her neck. A student at Cathedral High School for Girls, Miss Noonan had attended a play and dance last night at 'he Notre Dame Roman Catholic Church. Murphy sa'd he asked her to go with him but that she refused. He sent a friend, Michael Pe'.ra kis, to go in and summon the girl. Murphy convinced her to go to the apartment, where she told him that she did not want to see him any more. Murphy then grabbed a clothes line . and allegedly choked the girl. After he left the apartment he told two friends, Carl Schonacher, 20. and Robert De Luise, 17, "I just killed Kathie," and walked away. 56 1.15 Jlle trienas went 10 tne apan- 48 .02 ment and tried to revive the girl f ailing, tney cauea ponce. By JAMES MARLOW -Associated Prest News Analyst WASHINGTON U This is an ABC on jobless pay unemploy ment compensation (UC) and how it started and where it is. There'll be plenty of talk about it in the next few weeks. UC is not a dole. The federal government puts no money into it. Neither do the states. The money comes entirely from a tax on em ployers, based on their payrolls, and in a few states a tax on em ployes too. The money goes into a fund ad ministered by the federal govern ment which invests it in interest- bearing bonds. Each state has its own account in this fund and draws from it as it needs to. The fund now has about 81: bil lion dollars. In bad years re cession years more money is taken out than is put in. In the 1954 recession year the fund col lected $1,136,000, and put out just over two billion dollars. In the present recession, with unemployment climbing, the fund has put out over a billion dollars since September. When unemploy ment forces a state to exhaust its part of the fund, the govern ment can lend it money. Right now there are 5.2O0.0O0 unemployed. Over three million are drawing UC. But many work ers have used up already all the UC payments for which they were eligible and now are entitled to nothing. About 43 million workers are covered by UC. But millions of working people are not. And. if they lose their jobs, these people cannot turn to UC for Help, for example: excluded are farm workers, self-employed, domestics .22 Perhaps the oldest apple orchard in America is at Manzano.

Yesterday Dougherty wept tears of joy. Some 25 women from the sub urban Hamtramck Blue Star Mothers staged a surprise birth day party for Dougherty, 23. The party all but swept Dougherty, his wife Grace, 19, and his son Richard from their small flat. Dougherty, who says he never had a birthday party before. called newspapers March 2 when invited guests failed to show up for his party. Resultant stories aroused sympathy throughout the nation. The Blue Star Mothers, headed by Mrs. Josephine Skopowski chapter president, saw to it that Sunday's party was different. When the last of the mothers poured into the small flat, the Dougherty kitchen overflowed with Polish sausage, sauerkraut, cheese cakes and a big birthday cake. This is wonderful, wonderful. said Dougherty, who maintained he did not know of the surprise party. "It's a perfect surprise." The Blue Star Mothers first learned of Dougherty when he ad vertised he was lonely in the Army and wanted somebody to write. They wrote enclosing small gifts, food packages ana cnecKs. The mothers kept up corre spondence with Dougherty through the Korean War and aft erwards when he spent two years in a hospital at Battle Lreex, Mich., recovering from tuberculosis. Many of the mothers were on the invitation list for Dougherty's party March 2. Mrs. Skopowski said she was unable to attend because of two prior commitments. Dougherty augments his gov ernment disability pension with ( window washing business. and employes of nonprotit organizations. The UC system was created by Congress in 1935 as part of the Social security program, with the understanding all states would take part in it. All now do. But each state is allowed to make its own laws for handling UC. Therefore, there's a wide varia tion among states on how much a jobless man can get and for now long. Benefit payments ranee from a minimum of $3 a week in Missis sippi to a maximum of $41 in Wyoming and $45 in Alaska. The average UC payment is $30 a week. A few states give additional amounts to jobless men with dependents. The length of time a jobless man can draw UC varies too. Thirty-one states have a maxi mum of 26 weeks. Pennsylvania is the highest with 30. Florida has 16 weeks. Organized labor and some members of Congress call for 39 weeks for all states. The tax on an employer started out to be 3 per cent on the first $3,000 of each employe's pay. But the government lets states lower that tax for various reasons. Now the tax is running at a national average of about 1.2 per cent on ttie first $3,ooo of payroll, though m some states and on some in dustries the tax going into the states tunds ranges as high as 2.7 per cent. Another three tenths of 1 per cent goes to the federal govern ment to cover the cost of admin istering the fund. ho a Jobless man who may have earned $5,000 or more a year does not get UC which is a percentage of $5,000 or more. His UC will be a percentage of no more than the first $3,000 of his pay. And the percentage varies by states. A few states pay a per centage on the first $3,600 of income. With a time limit on weekly payments, many thousands in this recession already have exhaustea all the UC benefits they're enti tled to. What happens to them? They re out of luck. President Eisenhower has proposed in such cases that the federal govern ment out of its own funds con tinue giving them jobless pay. He did not say for how long. He may spell it out this week. But this would be a dole, tne first of its kind in American his tory. Congress, of course, will have to pass on it. There'll be a fight and for many reasons. Some business groups don t want the dole or any enlargement of a UC system. Organized labor shies away from the dole, want ing Congress to pass a bill forcing stales to make permanent im provements in their UC systems. And members of Congress have varying -ideas of their own, STEPHEN NASON.

Ul - Small Army rockets that can leap 54 miles into space are probing ahead of giant missiles for infor mation to help the monsters land on target. The diminutive Loki II rockets carry a packet of aluminum con fetti which is released and then tracked by radar on the ground as swift air currents carry it away. The device has a 40-inch shaft propelled by five-foot rocket engines. It provides a quick, accurate map of wind speed and direction, according to the Army Signal En gineering Laboratories, which de veloped the technique in experi ments at White Sands Proving Grounds, N.M.. and Cape Canav eral, Fla.

Pfeiffer's plane veered over the truce line during maneuvers with the South Korean army on the U.N, side of the demilitarized zone. A Sabre Jet flying with Pfeiffer's escaped. The U.N.
