Holder, of Tellico Plains, who has pedaled across the nation four times, found himself a farm bride yesterday. The 20-year-old former Marine said he was on a back road when he decided to stop at a house for drink of water. "She was in the -front yard and I asked for a drink," he said.

"We didn't talk much but I asked her to marry me. She agreed and talked to her folks. She jumped on the back of the bicycle and we rode on to Wildcat before either of us spoke much." His bride-to-be is Miss Jackie Britt, 20, whose home is near the village-of Hitchita in eastern Oklahoma. "It happened suddenly and I haven't fully recovered," Holder declared. "We want to get married at the Oklahoma semi-centennial here." Holder said if he didn't receive any encouragement at the exposition he would try to get job and make enough money to buy Miss Britt a bike.

She is "not much of a bicycle rider but with practice she get her leg muscles tuned up," he smiled. "We will work here until we get on our feet and then plan a bicycle trip around the world a honeymoon," Holder said. Reprimand Denied By Stassen WASHINGTON (ft Harold Stassen denied today that he has been reprimanded by Secretary of State Dulles for his private dealings with the Russians on disarmament. But he acknowledged he is returning to London with new "procedural" instructions. Stassen answered questions from reporters at National Airport as he waited to board a plane for New York and his transatlantic flight to London.

For days he has been here talking primarily with State department officials. There were reports he was in hot water with President Eisenhower and Dulles for having given too much information to the Russians on new U.S. disarmament policy too far In advance of full agreement with Britain, France and other allies. i The nature of his answers left no doubt that his method of working with the Soviets and witth allied governments had been the real reason for his consultations here. See STASSEN, Page 20 French OK New Chief PARIS Wi A resigned, re- iuctant national assembly early today confirmed Maurice Bourges- Maunoury as France's 22nd postwar premier by a majority of less than 50 votes.

The action ended a three-week cabinet crisis. Both the pre-ballot debate and the 240-194 vote itself reflected the assembly's lack of enthusiasm. Seventy-three deputies abstained. Bourges-Maunoury fell 58 votes short of an absolute majority of the assembly's 595 members. But only a majority of those voting was needed to install him.

Bourges-Maunoury's program on which he took office virtually duplicates that of his predecessor, Socialist Guy Mollet. The new cabinet chief, who was Mollet's defense minister, promised the assembly continued vigorous military action against the Algerian rebels, limited political reforms in the rebellious North African territory, new taxes and fewer imports to rebuild France's almost-gone stock of foreign exchange.

Includes 1,300 Homes By DAVE FELDMAN A $19 million residential and business project, to be started immediately and completed in three to four years, was disclosed today by an official of PAT homes. The project includes construction of 1,300 homes and three shopping centers, according to a 1 Finkelstein, vice president of the firm.

About 640 homes will be con? structed in Terra del Sol, where the company is completing the last of 360 homes in Wilmot Vista. The total Jin Terra -del Sol will comprise the largest single subdivision construction by one firm in the Tucson area. Another 500 homes are planned on 145 acres which PAT purchased in the state land sale in November. The land, on the northeast corner of E. 22nd St.

and Kolb Rd. (formerly Camino Miramonte) brought record pj-ice of more than $2,500 an acre. The third home construction site is a 44-acre tract on the west side of Craycroft road between E. 29th St. and E.

22nd St. It had once been designated as site for a regional shopping center when owned by other interests. About 160 homes are planned there. MAJOR SHOPPING centers-in the $2 million category are planned for the northeast corner of 22nd St. and Kolb, and at the southeast corner of 22nd St.

and Wilmot Rd. In addition, a shopping area is planned on property at 22nd St. and Craycroft, east of the homes which are planned. Finkelstein estimated the home construction as a $13 million program, with some $5 million involved in the development of the shopping centers PAT was the leading home builder in Tucson in .1955 and 1956, and is ahead so far this year. Last year, 523 home units were sold by the company, which is headed by Jacob N.

Mandelbaum. Last year's sales were second in the state, behind John Long of Phoenix. Finkelstein predicted that the firm would start construction in the new state land area within a year.

George, veteran former Democratic senator and President Eisenhower's special Ambassador to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, was officially listed today one stage short of critical. His physician at Emory University Hospital said that he had spent a fairly comfortable night, felt somewhat stronger but his condition remained serious.

The 79-year-old statesman is suffering from "coronary athero- sclerosis, or hardening of the coronary artery which nourishes the heart." Navy Says' Plane Was Off Course WASHINGTON-Iff)-Navy officials described as an isolated incident today the shots fired by a Communist Chinese shore battery at an American plane which they said apparently strayed course and was Samaged slightly. They expressed the opinion, based on early dispatches, that the incident is not likely to produce any significant military repercussions. The Navy announced yesterday that the plane, flying from the Carrier Hornet, was "fired on and slightly damaged by Communist Chinese antiaircraft" in the area of the Formosa Strait. "It appears that the aircraft concerned was to the westward of its plotted position, being about eight miles off the coast when it was fired on," the Navy announcement added. It said the plane, otherwise unidentified, was on a routine training flight at the time, and returned quickly to the carrier.

First word of the incident came from Peiping Radio, which said in a broadcast heard London that the Hornet and four destroyers, sailing from Hong Kong, "invaded part of the South China Sea within the territorial waters of China." The Red Chinese version said planes taking off from the carrier "intruded into the Swatow area." Without saying where they came from, the Communists said four Nationalist Chinese planes joined the American planes, and two of them were shot down.

The committee yesterday drafted tentatively a proposed constitutional amendment calling for the repeal as a step toward gaining much needed additional revenue. The cash bonus plan would call for compensation in four annual payments, contingent on length and locale of service. Today, the committee heard selective service officials estimate how many persons entered the service from Arizona so it could establish the number of veterans eligible" for a bonus and the total cost to the state.

Rep. Thomas Knolcs (D-Coconino), a member of the committee, said J2.000 veterans claimed exemptions in 1947, but the figure jumped more than 300 per cent to 42,000 last year. Rep. Carl Anderson (R-Maricopa) proposed the cash bonus, although he suggested 5100 to $500, instead of $250 to $1,000. 'prizes and trophies valued at' more than $1,800.

Amphi Tax Going Up A proposed budget of for 1957-58 will probably push the Amphitheatre District school tax rate to $5,50 per $100 of assessed valuation.

The present tax rate if $4.7694. Although no official estimate has been made, an increase of $182,000 last year raised the school tax rate 70 cents. The proposed budget as it now stands is an increase of $192,000 over the 1956-57 budget. "As it looks now there will be an increase in the tax rate," Supt. Marion Donaldson said this morning.

"However this budget is very preliminary and action by the board in past years indicates that probably the final figure will be less." The tentative budget, reviewed by the school board at its regular meeting last night, will be considered at a public study and hearing session June 19 in the high school library. It consists of $475.370 for hish schools and $809,205 for elementary schools. BASEBALL NATIONAL CINCI. 001 010 000-- 2 6 0 PITT i 000 001-- 3 11 0 and Bailey; Friend and Rand.
