Judging from the" look on the faces of these busy, boisterous youngsters, the pool will be the busiest this year that it has been since it was constructed and put into operation in 1954. Ella Redky, pool manager, reports however that the weather has considerably reduced the number of pool users so far In The- Day's km By FRANK JENKINS Financial note: A New York savings bank is giving away everything from desk lamps and skillets to cameras and steak knives to attract more savings. All you have to do to get one of these gifts is to open a new cavings account with at least ten dollars. How come? It's like this: This particular bank is confident that the United States of America has big growth ahead of it. It knows this big growth will call for new investment capital which is created by SAVING That's about the long and the short of it. A word of advice: It YOU want to get ahead in this period of growth and expan sion which because of rising pop ulation and RAPID technological advancement lies ahead of t h e USA, here's a good three-point rule to follow: 1. Work hard while you work. 2. Play hard while you play 3. SAVE A LITTLE MONEY OUT OF EVERY PAY CHECK : Hmmmmmm. Let's add a fourth point: Don't pay too much attention to Die politicians who will be gun ning for your vote with promises of something for nothing. There is NO SUCH THING as something for nothing. Financial Note No. 2: Stocks in New York edged high er this morning with the leading averages bumping their highs for 1958. Railroad shares appeared to have crossed into new high ground with most of them showing frac tional gains in response to a sen ate bill that would authorize gov ernment guarantees on private loans to the railroads to the ex tent of 700 million dollars. (The roads need the money to buy new and more modern equip ment. Their present earnings are insufficient to provide for their Deeds.) The railroads need more than loans. Among other things, they need permission to be MORE COM PETITIVE. They need permission to abandon lines and services that are unprofitable. They aren't al lowed to do these things without government permission. Put it to yourself like this: Suppose you were running a hamburger stand and paying rent and taxes and hiring help and your business began to run down but GOVERNMENT WOULDN'T LET YOU QUIT. In that event, you'd be in a bad fix. Well, that's the fix the railroads are in. If you think they ought to be allowed to get out of it, 'it would be a good idea for you to write to your congressman and your senators and tell them so.

(AP) The Army was a step closer to activating the nations first ballis tic missile today after the latest apparently successful launching of a Redstone rocket. The 63-foot Redstone, the most highly developed ballistic weapon in the U.S. arsenal, roared into sDace last night. The Army .says me iteasione has undergone more successtul tests lhan any other large mis sile. This is the rocket that the Army hopes will be deployed in the field in the very near future oossiblv late next month. Designed as a highly moDiie field artillery weapon, the Red stone has a range of about 250 miles. It can be moved quickly over great distances and fired in the field in a relatively snort time. Special v trained troops from the Army's 40th Field Artillery Missile group fired the missile for the first time May 17. The Army announced then that the accom plishment marked the beginning of the missiles operational phase, A modified version of the Red stone played a key role in launch ing two Explorer satellites into or bit as the first stage .vehicle for the Jupiter-C rocket. Sputnik Path In Skies Plotted CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) Timetable data for visible pass ages of the rocket carrier Sput nik III for the next few days was released Wednesday night by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Obser vatory. Scientists said the Soviet moon is traveling in a south-southwest to north-northeast direction about 130 miles high in its morning passages. The schedule includes: Sunday, June 15 Third pass age off Central California coast at 3:46 a.m. PST to central Ore gon in three minutes. The rocket carrier should be visible about 250 miles on either side of Sputnik's path. NEW BASE HERTFORD, N.C. (AP) Con struction of the nation's first jet seaplane base begins at Harvey's Point near here today. The 20-million-dollar U.S. Navy installation at the point where the Perquimans River meets Albe marle . Sound in northeastern North Carolina is to bo completed by early 1960 to accommodate huge jet flying boats. The three had been dead about 14 hours. The quiet Mennonite family, de scribed as deeply religious, lived in a middle-class residential dis trict where their freshly painted home was the neatest in the block. Their 12-foot-wide flower garden extended from front to rear of their property, was the pride of the neighborhood. Mrs. Pauls had worked in the garden each day. Pauls' wallet and his wife's purse were missing, but neither contained much money and rob- lbery was discounted as the pri mary motive. The girl's panties had been removed and her cloth ing was disarraiged, but police I said she had not been raped. this year. For the 15 days the pool has been open this year, she reports there have been 5,297 swimmers. Largest number Was 812 on Sunday, May 25. Last year for the same period, Miss Redky reports, there had been 9,685 swimmers. She emphasized, however, that a little warm weather would probably straighten out the figures. UN Observers Move Into Lebanon To Guard Peace BEIRUT. Lebanon (AP) The first contingent of U.N. observers moved into Lebanon Thursday less than 24 hours after the U.N. Se curity Council ordered a border watch to keep out intruders from President Nasser's United Arab Republic.

The projected size of the full organization was not' known but Hammarskjold was understood- to have sent out recruiting calls to a number of nations. He conferred last night with key U.N. delegates including U.S. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge, Britain's Sir Pierson Dixon, U.A.R. Ambassador Omar Loutfi .and Foreign Minister Charles Malik of Lebanon. U.N. diplomats were generally optimistic that the watchdog group would ease tension between Lebanon and the U.A.R.

Lack of such powers was one of the criticisms of the bill voiced earlier this week by Secretary of Labor Mitchell. An amendment pulling them in was offered by Sen. John S. Coop er (R-Ky), and was accepted by Sen. John F. Kennedy (D-Mass), chief sponsor of the measure. Kennedy said he would have been glad to put it in while the bill was in the labor committfee if the administration had pushed it mere. The amendment would give the secretary subpoena powers to compel testimony of witnesses' and he production of books and rec ords in enforcing sections dealing with union elections, trusteeships, and linancial reporting by unions, union officers and employers. Kennedy also agreed to accept amendments by Cooper concerned with exempting small unions trom the financial reporting re quirements and with making fi nancial reports available to rank-and-file union members. In opening debate-on the meas ure designed to curb union abuses and also give organized labor some of the things it wants Kennedy accused Mitchell of gross misstatements and falla cious claims about the bill. Kennedy said the comments by Mitchell in a statement Monday denouncing the bill was weak and ineffectual were unfortunate be cause they have sought to confuse rather than clarify; introduced partisanship where it had been minimized: and jeopardized rath er than enhanced the possibilities for favorable congressional action on legislation this year. He told his colleagues he could not in good conscience describe the measure as perfect. But he declared that the bill, without being punitive, would meet all of the union abuses on which the Senate Rackets Com mittee headed by Sen. John L. McClellan D-Ark) has made rec ommendations. Colorado Opens Battle On Grasshopper DENVER fAP) Colorado launched an attack against grass hopper hordes today, but Gov. Steve McNichols warned the ac tion can be only . a limited one unless large-scale federal aid is thrown into the fight. The tunds are needed, he said, to protect the 110-million-dollar wheat crop ripening on the high plains of eastern Colorado and for the hay crop needed to carry cat tle through next winter. - Turned down by the White House yesterday in an effort to have the region declared a disas ter area eligible for civil defense funds, McNichols said he will ap peal to the U.S. Department of Agriculture for part of 14 million dollars available for emergencies under the agricultural conserva tion program. He termed the action "a last lope" and said he understood the iepartment "is turning thumbs lown already." McNichols announced he will isk the Legislature, when it meets Monday m emergency session, to appropriate up to a million and a half dollars for the struggle with the hoppers. This apparent ly would wipe out the surplus in me slate s general lund. Paul W. Swisher, state agricul ture commissioner, reported the hopper infestation now covers more than 10 million acres in 21 counties, The commissioner estimated De Gaulle Calls Algerian Leader On Carpet Today By JOSEPH A. DYNAN PARIS (AP) Premier Charles dc Gaulle called Jacques Soustcllc on the carpet today in another show of his determination not to let the colonists in Algeria dic tate how he runs France. Soustclle is the political front man for the insurgent movement of army odicers and French set tlers who banded together in com mittees of public safety to keen Algeria under French control. Dc Gaulle Wants the Moslem majori ty to have a full voice in running r ranees North African territory. The committees inspired and di rected wild demonstrations in Al geria which hoisted De Gaulle to power. But he is now trying to make them take the same vaca tion from politics he ordered for the National Assembly. The premier called Soustelle back from Algiers alter the military-civilian committee there de manded that De Gaulle kick party politicians out of his cabinet and delay the Algerian municipal elec tions he promised about a month. De Gaulle's first response was a biting telegram to Gen Raoul Salan, his civil and military chief in Algeria who had associated himself with the insurgent com mittee s demands. The premier told Salan to keep out of politics and criticized him for getting mixed up in the regrettable and intemperate incident caused by the preemptory motion of the committee." , He added that the committee's Senate Democratic Leader Lyn don B. Johnson tD-Tex) expressed hope the bill could be passed by tomorrow night. Other senators thought it would take longer. Sen. Barry Goldwa ter (R-Ariz), one of a group of Republicans planning to offer a series of stringent amendments to the bill, said there would be "long drawn out discussion" on each one. An interesting sidelight to the debate was the test it posed for Sen. John F. Kennedy (D-Mass), principal author of the measure and a potential candidate for the Democratic presidential nomina tion in 1960. It is the first major piece of legislation to be handled on the floor by Kennedy, except for a much less significant employe pension and welfare fund control bill passed in April. Kennedy conceded In advance that his bill would not satisfy the extremes on the labor issue he said no measure could do that. The sponsors' hope of beating off more restrictive floor amend ments appeared to rest on two points: 1. Whether Sen. John L. Mc Clellan ID-Ark) would continue the support of the Kennedy bill he voiced last week and persuade most of the Southern Democratic senators to go along with him. McClellan is chairman of the Rackets Investigating Committee whose hearings touched off much of the demand for labor reform legislation. 2. Whether Sen. Irving M. Ives (R-NY), a co-author of the Ken nedy bill, could carry with him the 10 or 12 GOP senators who frequently follow his lead on la bor matters. Emphasizing political aspects of the battle, the Democratic Advis ory Council put out a statement last night, accusing the Republican party and big business of conduc ing an extraordinary and continu ous bottle on labor's fundamental rights. It added: "The Democratic party will re sist . . . efforts to take retribu tion on the. whole labor move ment because of the sins of a few." Hordes four million acres are in crops, mainly wheat. The remainder is rangeland. Federal money is available, if matched on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the state and by the land owner, for aerial spraying of rangeland but none is available for cropland, Swisher said. The state agriculture depart ment announced the start of a range spraying program, with five two-engine planes flying out of Cheyenne Wells, in east-central Colorado. It said nearly 500,000 acres will be covered in this co operative venture at a cost of about 60 cents an acre. ' Chief Highway Engineer' Mark U. Watrous reported his depart ment will begin spraying roadside weeds along 18,000 miles of roads in eastern Colorado tomorrow, using 25 pieces of spraying ma chinery. Unless federal aid is obtained, McNichols said, the state will have to concentrate its efforts on spraying the roadsides and fence rows between fields where grass hoppers are heaviest, This would leave protection of the vast grain fields to the owners themselves. The governor appealed to all landowners to use whatever re sources they can muster to eradi cate the hoppers. "I'm certainly not going to let a hundred and ten million dollar wheat crop go to the bad," he promised. only right and role was to express the opinion of its members. De Gaulle's telegram was obvi ously aimed also at paratroop Gen. Jacques Massu, who took over leadership of the French in surgents in Algeria alter they de fied Paris May 13. Soustelle, who eluded police sur veillance at his Paris home and slipped through to Algeria May 16. is generally regarded as the real mastermind behind the movement although he holds no post on any of the committees. He worked closely with Dc Gaulle during World War II and was the leader of his supporters in the National Assembly, but ru mors have circulated for months that De Gaulle has soured on his disciple. Many extremists on the com mittees were miffed that De Gaulle failed to give Souslella a top Cabinet post. They got mad der at De Gaulle's plans to hold municipal elections. The vote would undercut the in fluence of the self-appointed com miltccs which have sprung up all over Algeria. Many committee men would probably be blocked from legal political power if Dc Gaulle keeps his promise and gives the nine million Moslems equal voting rights with the one million colonists. Many, In fact, could not even be candidates under last year's election law, which restricts local candidacies to persons born in Algeria.

He also re turned empty handed. Judge Vandenberg next sum moned Sheriff's Deputy Del Sum mers and instructed him to find Cloud and bring him to the court immediately. He then called a re cess. At about 2:30 n.tn: Cloud finally showed up and court was recon vened a few minutes later. Before Beddoe could put his wit ness on the stand.

Advised in advance as to Cloud s excuse, Judge Vandenberg had or dered a check of the bar and grill's- -r clock. It was the same as the court room clock. Maybe, suggested Beddoe to the judge, the place has two clocks and Cloud was looking at the oth er? Judge Vandenberg instructed the bailiff to make another check. Yes, there was a second clock but it, too. was the same as that in the court. At this point, the judge held Cloud in contempt of court and ordered him taken to the county jail. Later he was released on his own recognizance, but subject to still be sentenced. It wasn't more than two min utes after Cloud was found in con tempt that Beddoe rose to his feet and asked for dismissal of the dangerous weapon assault charge against Wilson.

The great Russian singer died in Tokyo in 1928 and there are not four hours of his recordings available in this country. Whcwi Whewed Langc when he thought about it.
