! The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS Up at Fort William, in Canada's) province of Ontario yesterday, Queen Elizabeth was drenched in a sudden downpour that struck just before she reached the Royal Edward hotel for a civic lunch eon. She crouched under an umhrel la in the open rear seat of her car. but her while hat and her yellow wool coal were soaked be fore she reached the hotel door. . Hmmmmmmmm. The rain fallelh alike on the just and the unjust. A queen is hot stuff, but nobody ever told the weather man. After all, there's a pretty good lesson in that. More royal misfortune: Princess Margaret and her lady-in-waiting appeared in practically IDENTICAL costumes at the open ing of an exhibition of new fabric designs at a London fashion house day before yesterday evening. "What a faux, pas." said the lady-in-waiting. "We always guard against this sort of thing SO CAREFULLY. 1 think this is real ly the first time we've ever slipped up." 'She might have said "goofed." but being a lady-in-waiting, she refrained.) ' Margaret was equal to the oc casion. She said lightly: "This combination is a great favorite ' with myself and my lady-in-waiting. We both love it." Ahhhhhh. Courtesy and thought- fulness. What wonderful assets they are. - King Edward III. who reigned in England some 600 years ago, was dancing at a court ball with the Countess of Salisbury when - she lost her garter. As the king picked it up to hand it to her. he saw several persons smile and indulge in remarks. , It angered him, and he said to the assembled company in French: "Honi soit qui mal y pense" 'shame, to him who evil thinks.) Then he added: "I will make this little blue garter so glorious that everyone will wish Jo wear it." Out or that came the Order of the Garter one of Britain's most distinguished decoralions. : Who was this Edward 111? . You'll know him belter from the Battle of Crecy at which the Eng lish archer demonstrated his mas tery over the steel-clad knight on horseback that had ruled the world for so many centuries. "' Edward III and his son. the Black Prince, commanded the English archers -at Crecy. ' . 'That ought to be enough aboutilate patrolmen standing by, pri- rovaltv for one day. But it's worth remembering that even kings and queens and princes and princesses are PEOPLE. Probers Quiz Adm. Radford WASHINGTON ( API-House in vestigators ask Adm. Arthur W. Radford today just whom he had in mind when he said inlerservice rows were encouraged from out side the Pentagon. Radford is a former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff who was recalled into part time gov ernment service as a defense con sultant. He faces questioning by a House subcommittee invesligat ing alleged influences and pres sures in weapons buying. In a television interview June 28, Radford said one reason why defense decisions are not always fully supported by all services is that "there are certain encourage ments lent from outside the Pen tagon, for one reason or another The admiral said he did not mean "Congress alone" but that defence manufacturers also had to be taken into account. ; The subcommittee is concentrat ing. now on the role of former highranking officers and civilian de fense officials who went to work for industrial firms dealing with the defense department.

The strike, 'in support of de mands for belter conditions, cov ered all three meals Thursday but authorities so far have made no move to force the convicts' hand. "We have no rule that they have to eat," Corrections Director Jack Forrester said, but he and Warden R. P. Balkcom served Cindy Calms, Skies Clear By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The remnants of tropical storm Cindy continued to pick up show ers and thundershowers in the central Carolinas and Virginia to day. There were a few, other wet spots but'clear skies were the rule in the major part of the country. The rains tapered off in the Carolinas after some heavy falls. Rainfall in the Columbia, S.C., area measured some 14 inches. Afternoon thundershowers were indicated in the southern Rockies, sot'hern Plateau region, the up per Mississippi Valley and parts of the -upper Great Lakes. Rain was in prospect later in the day and tonight in New England.

Germany -l'PI A cheering crowd of 30. m gathered at the docks here Thursday to send off West Ger many's first postwar transatlantic liner on i's maiden voyage to New York. The 32,000 ton "Brem en" sailed out of port with 780 passengers aboard amid the shrieking whistles of small craft in the harbor. The voyage was expected lo take seven days. 1 notice that any violation of rules vould meet swift punishment. The State Patrol said 36 patrol men were ordered lo the big state prison and the patrol station at Reidsville said every possible pre- caution was being taken. - , The hunger strike started all breakfast Thursday when 400 con victs refused to eat after posting a nine-point list of demands in their cell blocks. The list ranged from the minor demand for fried eggs, instead of boiled or scrambled, to less severe treatment for prisoners confined in isolation cells. , Forrester said none of the 1.700 Negro convicts took part in the strike. The only direct action Balkcom took was to post notices thai any priso' ners violating any rules would lose all time off their sen tences for good behavior. No ill effects were noted among those prisoners who missed all three of yesterday's meals, he said. "These boys are well fed. They could go a week," the warden said. The convicts demanded that iso lation punishment of 30 days at a time be reduced to a maximum ol 20 days in the summer and that prisoners in isolation be given a full meal every 72 hours, instead of every five days as at present Isolation prisoners get bread and Airline Informed LAKEVIEW A telephone call last Wednesday (o William Castle, chairman of the.

Army men and the wounding of a third." i The Viet - Namese government reported that the attack Wednes day night at Bteri Hoa, 20 miles north of Saigon, had aroused 'great indignation" among the general public. Extra Viet Namese guards Were stationed at American government offices and the residences of American officials, and a close watch also was placed on Ameri can vehicles. All packages brought to . the U.S. Embassy here were under careful scrutiny. The great majority of. Ameri cans in Vict Nam live in Saigon. About 230 work for such govern ment agencies as the embassy, the International Cooperation Ad ministration, the U.S. Information Service, and the 11 military as sistance groups. Members of the U.S. military more than 300 in all were placed on "yellow alert" after the raid and began packing sidearms. - The Bien Hoa attack was the most daring staged by Communist terrorists since 1(157 when the US1S library building in Saigon was bombed. Eyewitness reports filtering through official secrecy painted a grim picture of the 10-minulc reign of terror which turned the peaceful river town into a bloody battleground. Six American military officers were in the mess hall of a two story building watching the movie "The Tattered Dress" when the raiders penetrated a barbed-wire fence and invaded the compound in which the building was located. There were believe lo have been between five and 10 men in the Communist band. The invaders waited until the lights were turned on in Ihe mess hall to change a reel of the film Then they brought the building under attack from three sides in a murderous crossfire. A Viet Namese cook and his 8 year-old son who were watching ing were cut down by small arms and automatic weapons lire and a Vict Namese guard was wounded fatally.

Unless the number of deaths are reduced sharply, the council says, there will be 39.800 traffic deaths this year. That is 2,800 more than in 1958. Howard Pyle, president of the council, told a news conference Thursday that traffic deaths in the first five months are 5 per cent higher than in' the same period last year. , 'We are alarmed," he said. "If the public could also be alarmed and inspire adequate protective measure, lives could besaved.." The council suggested' inaugura tion of these safety measures, at once: ' .'. . Step-up law enforcement ' in areas where it is low; inspect high accident locations to remove ohvs. ical hazards: analyze court pen allies lo see' if they are deterring violations; suspend drivers li censes ol accident prone and vio lation repeaters: more rigid en forcement of drunk driving laws, ard step up public education for safe driving and safe walking.

"4 indicated no specific solution was imminent, although a. number of alternatives were known to be under study. ' ; Eisenhower proposed last Janu ary, an increase to 4' i cents a gallon to. avoid a threatened defi cit in the special highway . trust fund from which federal grants are made. House Democrats balk ed at the plan, and. the Senate rejected it . as an amendment to another tax measure last month. Without some assurance of add ed money, the highway fund will be too small to permit scheduled allocations to the stale next month of amounts they can spend in the year starting next July 1. The al locations are made in advance to allow time fqr the necessary plan ning. A pay-as-you-go requirement in the highway law limits spend ing to the amount in the fund. That requirement was suspend cd temporarily during last year's recession. Eisenhower has op posed any further suspension or other , solution that would draw on regular treasury funds. Bui hints of a possible compromise develop cd this week. Two major compromise plans now being contemplated would provide: 1. A W-cent increase in the gas tax to bring in an extra 280 mil j lion dollars, temporary suspension ol tne pay-as-you-go requirement. and a two-year strclchout of the program now due for completion iin.-Ui?! , gfliA one-cent increase in the gas lax worth 5WI millions, also wilh 'siispcnsion of Ihe pay-as-you-go re quirement. The trust fund is financed from earmarked taxes on gasoline, tires and lubes, dicsel "fuel. . .trucks, buses and a highway use tax on trucks. ..'...;. Currently, the trust fund is ex pected to go into the. red about half a billion dollars by the end of the liscal ycai1 ending June 30, 1961., ' House Democrats contend a gas tax increase of the size proposed by President Eisenhower is un justified. They said it would be too much of a burden on the motorist public and the slates, which look lo their own gasoline itaxc ,or road "idinS revenues Mills contends the law as origi- n.illy planned did not contemplate that the program had to be on a day-to-day, penny-by-penny bal ance, but only that costs and taxes balance out during its lifetime. But Eisenhower told Congress that any system of borrowing "would only he a refusal to face reality.;1 'Copter Kingsley scape Uninjured 2 -"r Thursday. I among inose aooarn was ioi. Jack W. Williams, commanding of- ficer of the Air Force base at Kingsley Field. Miraculously, none of Ihe five men was injured except for facial scratches and bruises. They were back on the job today. The plane, a large, six-seat H-19 helicopter, clipped off the top or a thick willow bush, chewed into the red earth and landed upside down in a tiny clearing. It did not burn, although Ihe ground beneath it was fairly saturated with high octane gasoline. ' The Air Force said the craft was on an in-area flight, depar ture and destination both Kingsley Field. Purpose of the flight ap parently .-was to inspect a recre alion area (or Air Force person nel being developed where Odessa Creek (lows into Pelican Bay. The site is about 20 miles (rom Klam ath Falls., two miles off (he Lake of (he Woods Highway. The plane crashed . in the recreation area. What c a u s e d the crash was not known at presslime. The Air Force said a board of qualified officers would investigate the bad ly damaged crafl, believed to be a - total loss. , : , The plane -was piloted by 1st L(. Michael Langlord. The others aboard ' were Colonel Williams, Maj. William Hicks, Maj. John Scaiboro and Maj. Eugene Holl way. Bud Wampler,' son uf Mickey Wamplur on whose land the plane crashed,' was first at the scene. He said he heard two backfires, saw the plane drop and slip down behind the hill less than a quar ter of a mile from the ranch. He hoard ihe stricken plane crashing into timber, and raged up a dust-covered road in his pickup. - .

How (he -men crawled, out of the upended plane uninjured is still a minor . mystery. The heli copter' appeared to have been caught in a side draft and to have; rolled down the hill side ways!. The canopy was completely crushed against the ground on one side., and the plane's bucket seals were completely . upside down. There- was' a' minimum of room left to crawl out one side. The" odor of gasoline permeated the -thickly wooded area a rela tively steep slope only a few hun dred 'yards from' the Iakeshore. The rotor apparatus was smashed against a fallen log, rotor blades were scattered in a gro tesque -pattern and the long tail assembly and one of the wheels Fliers See Illegal Turn SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The California Highway Patrol sent out loday Its first citation for a traffic violation witnessed from a helicopter.

Cancer Group Hits Tie-Up LONDON (UPI) The BriUsh Empire Cancer Campaign said Thursday . that five years of ex periments .-with mice, rats and hamsters. had failed to uncover a definite link ' between cigarette smoking' and lung cancer. The campaign's annual report said attempts lo induce cancer in the animals with strong concen trations 'of cigarette smoke were negative and that there had been a "lack of success" in other such experiments.: ' It emphasized that further re search' was necessary. Prof. Jl. D. Passey of the Ches ter Realty Research Institute said laboratory experiments with ani mals suggested that there might be an indirect connection between smoking and lung cancr. But he said the results of smoke experiments on mice, rats and hamsters over the last five years in an attempt to induce lung tu mors had. been strikingly ncga live.
