The President will use the four engine jet for long flights. But the fleet of three will be at the serv ice of other high government and military men. The VC137s none has been giv en a name are less plush than the President's five-year-old, pro-peDcr-driven Columbine III. The administration wanted it that way. "We were given some guidance in the matter," said A. I. Ostlund, tanker-transport systems manager for the Boeing Airplane Co., at a briefing session. The tirst or the S'j-million-dol- lar VC137s to be delivered to the Among these are provisions which would limit sharply organ izational picketing, ban all second ary boycotts, and let state agen cies handle labor cases in which the National Labor Relations Board refuses to take jurisdiction. There is no forum now lor han dling such cases. Kennedy, author of the bill, re sisted strong efforts in the nine days of Senate floor debate to write all three of these points into the bill. He contended that they either were unworkable or would harm legitimate union interests. But. even so. the Massachusetts senator said In an interview, he docs not see how Eisenhower could refuse to sign the bill if it reached him in the form it went through the Senate. Kennedy said he was confident the measure would bo recognized as a strong, effective measure to clean up many abuses in unions The Senate finally did accept a compromise section aimed at some organizational picketing, hut in a much less drastic form than the administration asked. The House has been holding hearings on similar legislation, but is not expected to act on it before June or July. Traditionally, Ihe House has been apt to write somewhat stronger labor legislation than the Senate. But this year, backers of the hennedy bill in the House con lend they have Ihe votes to put it through in much the same shape as the Senate version. Last year Ihe House killed the Kennedy-Ives bill, which was quite similar to ine present measure. But it did not get to act until the closing days of the session, and then only under procedure which ruled out any floor amendments. The ttO-l Senate tally comnared wilh an 88-1 passage vole for Ihe Kenncdy-lves bill last year. Sen. Barry Goldwatcr (R-Arizl cast Ihe only negative vole this lime. He called the measure "a Ilea- bile which might mislead the public into thinking adequate steps were being taken against union corruption. The way was cleared for over whelming approval of the bill in Ihe Senato Saturday by 77-14 adop tion of a toned-down substitute for the bill of rights amendment of fered by Sen. John L. McClellan ID-Ark). Military Air Transport Service Thursday will be followed by the second near the end of May and the third late in June.

Senator Raps Republicans CASPER, Wyo. (API While the Eisenhower administration is "spouting aphorisms from Poor Richard's Almanac." the Commu nists have maintained the initia tive in the cold war, Sen. Hubert Humphrey (D-Minnl said Sunday. "It is time for a dynamic lead ership in this nation which will call the shots," he told a Natrona County Democratic rally. Humphrey said the Republicans' have done little to quell the Com munist menace. He termed the Ei senhower administration a "care taker government, a mark-time government, a do-as-little-as-you-can sort of government. Humphrey was introduced bv Sen. Gale McGce, a freshman Democrat previously on the facul- ty..?,f chc V,niversily of Wyoming. If Sen. Humphrey were in the White House.

Ofh Me Elephant dition existed until the Mount Shasta Recreational District'was formed and recreational director Jack Murtha got to work. Today that one-time white elephant serves the community in a multitude of ways. And all improvements are the result of volunteer labor, and donated materials. Now the Hi-Teens Club has de veloped a center in one of the old buildings. An earth fill has been rolled and packed, and covered with a concrete apron that doubles as a tennis court and outdoors dance pavilion. It will be used as an ice skating rink if, and when freezing weather again comes to Mount Shasta. In the old armory, square and folk dance clubs hold regular ses sions. An archery range, play ground equipment of various types and a meeting place for the 4-H Club are located here. The Mount Shasta Rod and Gun Club is build ing a modern clubhouse from what once was but a shell of a building. Roads in the park, trees re moved, and clearing lands have all resulted from donated labors. Des ignated work days have brought out more than 100 workmen, a doz en dump trucks, half that many bulldozers, and other equipment, all on a volunteer basis. The only compensations is loyalty to t h e town, and a sense of a job that, needs to be done, and is being done. The big spring which is the source of Sacramento River, is lo cated in the park. Today it is a bright spot in a landscane that still needs brightening, but for which hopes, are held that it win some day be an attraction on a lev-: el with many other beauty spots of the area. And all this is being done bv vol unteer help, and donated material. It is truly representative of th spirit of Mount Shasta. Niagara Fall Fatal To Tyke NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y.
