"With the gross national product running at an annual rate of at least $30 billion below a high-employment level as it would be if the April indicators declined below March it would be unwise to risk the possibility that the recession will develop into a cumulative spiral from which it would be difficult to extricate the present recession has gone further than the 1948-49 and 1953-54 recessions, and since the first of the year the decline has been steeper. Neal said that C.E.D.'s program committee suggested earlier this year that if business activity continued to contract for another two months after February, then substantial tax reduction should be enacted.

"The March figures are already available and one of the two months of further decline has passed," he said. "The April figures will be available within two weeks. "There will undoubtedly be disagreement over the meaning of these figures. "It seems to me, however, that the time for tax action will have arrived if, after adjustment for seasonal variation, the rate of unemploy Nevada Crash Probe Shows Air Collision Near Head-on LAS VEGAS, April 29 (UP) Preliminary findings by the Civil Aeronautics Board have confirmed that an F-100 jet and a United Air Lines DC-7 collided almost head-on over the Nevada desert a week ago. It was believed at first that the jet went out of control and plunged straight down onto the New York-bound luxury liner.

Forty-nine persons were killed in the crash. Phil Goldstein, head C.A.B. investigator on the scene said yesterday the right wing of the Super Sabrejet sliced through the airliner wing like a giant knife, severing about an eight-foot section of the tip. The investigation will continue to determine the exact angle of impact, Goldstein said.

MOSCOW, April 29 (UP) President Gamal Abdel Nasser flew here from Cairo today for a State visit hailed by the Soviet press as an omen of "fruitful co-operation" between Russia and his newly-formed United Arab Republic. Nasser was due about Yioon aboard a Russian TU-104 jet airliner that was sent to an airport 70 miles east of Cairo to whisk him via Budapest to Moscow for an 18-day State visit. A grandiose program seldom equalled for any other visiting head of state was U.S. Scored for Effort To Enter Matson Case rather than above the airliner and veering off away from it when the leading edges of the wings collided. Vanguard Continued from Page 1 flares interrupt short-wave communications and possibly cause violent storms on earth, apparently died with the ill-fated rocket.

Officials said there is no hope of recovering the second and third stages which plunged into the sea about 1,500 miles from here. The failure was the latest in a series of delays and mishaps that have plagued the Vanguard program. After two hybrid combinations were fired in May and October, 1957, test of a composite Vanguard got only a few feet off the launching pad December 6. The first stage thrust the rocket several feet, but after two seconds the missile toppled over and burned. Two months later another Vanguard appeared to take off successfully, but after about 57 seconds a connection between units of the first stage control system failed to function.

The rocket burst apart at 20,000 feet and sent debris reeling into the ocean. These two failures were followed by the only successful Vanguard enterprise March 17. WASHINGTON April 23 (UP) Representative O'Brien, New York Democrat, said today the Alaska Statehood bill will be brought up on the floor of the House next Tuesday and that the measure will be voted on the next day. O'Brien made the prediction after he and Representative Engle, California Democrat, conferred with Speaker Sam Rayburn, Texas Democrat. He said he and Engle went to see the Speaker to discuss the possibility of bypassing the House Rules Committee which has been holding the bill up since last June.

The New York Congressman said he and Engle received "no firm commit-ment'Vthat the Alaska bill would be brought to the floor next Tuesday- But he said they got the "general impression" from the Speaker that this could be done. O'Brien explained that the Alaska measure is classified as "privileged legislation" and that Engle has the power to bring it directly to the floor if the Rules Committee fails to clear it. The Congressman said it is "obvious" that the rules group, chairmanned by Representative Smith, Virginia Democrat, is in "no hurry" to let the bill get to the House. O'Brien said that "all Is needed for Engle to bring the bill up in the chamber is recognition from the Speaker." He indicated that Rayburn would give that recognition on Tuesday. Jobless Pay Ready to Go Before House WASHINGTON.

April 29 (AP) A disputed $1'4 billion unemployment relief bill was cleared for House action today by a split vote of the Rules Committee. The bill will be open to virtually unlimited amendments on the floor with Republicans free to try to substitute President Eisenhower's rival program. Leaders hope to schedule it for debate tomorrow if Chairman Smith. Virginia Democrat, of the Rules Committee acts today to place.it on the House calendar. Smith is opposed to the bill, calling it an "outright dole" and socialistic.

The bill was drafted by Democrats on the House Ways and Means Committee over Republican opposition. It would provide 16 weeks of jobless pay at state rates to almost all unemployed including those who have exhausted benefits under state insurance programs and those not presently eligible. The government would foot the bill. World Temperatures cur Albuquerque Atlanta Boise Hieh Low 3 45 80 S3 59 39 WASHINGTON, April 29 (AP) The Committee for Economic Development said today an income tax cut will be in order if unemployment and business activity decline in April below March levels. It recommended' a 'temporary 20 per cent across-the-board reduction in individual tax rates expiring March 31, 1959, to provide a $7 billion stimulus to consumer purchasing power if tax reduction becomes necessary.

C.E.D.'s views were contained in a statement by Alfred C. Neal, president, delivered in his absence to the House Banking Committee by C.E.D. research officials Herbert Stein of Washington, and Robert Ryan of New York. C.E.D. is a privately supported organization of businessmen and educators.

Neal said the recession "has by no means reached alarming proportions," but that it is necessary to establish a floor for the economy before the recession reaches a dangerous point. In some respects, he said, ic tAt Tax Cuts Seen If Spending Is Delayed WASHINGTON, April 29 (AP) Senate Democratic leader Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas said today that unless public works construction is speeded immediately the only alternative cure for the recession is a tax cut. Johnson told an informal news conference that he believes the time is approaching when a decision must be made. And he said he doesn't believe the Eisenhower administration is proceeding as swiftly as it should with the public works spending authorized by Congress.

"If we are unable to get public works going and get them enthusiastically administered and executed, we are going td Save to do something else to help the economy," Johnson said. IKE CONFERENCE Johnson spoke out as President Eisenhower discussed the economic situation with Republican leaders at their weekly White House conference. The Democratic leader's remarks came amid reports that there renewed pressure in Congress for early tax cutting moves. ILWU Denies Continued from Page 1 cano dialect of the Philippines. On the bottom of the ballot were two squares with the answers "Yes" and "No" printed over them, also in three languages.

IN RED INK Rivas said the "Yes" square was printed in bright red ink and that this furnished the rank and file the key to the answer the union wanted. Newton Miyagi, union secretary-treasurer, said today the red square was in; no way intended to lead or mislead the workers. The only reason for color-coding the answer squares is because some workers are illiterate, he explained. Workers who cannot read in any of the three languages are told what the question is and instructed to make a mark in the red square if their answer is "yes" and in the black square if the answer is "no," Miyagi said. ALTERNATE METHOD An alternative method of instructing workers to mark the left or right was rejected because of the possibib'ty of error in a case where a worker might hold his ballot upside down.

Miyagi said tomorrow's ballot will be worded about the same as was the January question. Union officials are confident the membership will reject the new proposal.

Ecuador has asked bids on 60,000,000 boxes of safety matches, Quito learns. Nasser would ask specifically for Soviet help to finance his pet Aswan Dam project. The United States has turned him down, and Russia so far has not committed itself. The Communist Party organ Pravda hailed the visit as "a new expression of the growing friendship between the peoples of our country and the young Arab Republic." Pravda said Russia "is interested in the strengthening of the political and economic independence of the Arab countries" who had learned they could count on "the friendship of the U.S.S.R., the Chinese Peoples Republic and the other socialist countries." The party organ said "fruitful co-operation" between Russia and the U.A.R. "can serve as a good example of equal and mutually advantageous relations of states with different social systems." At the same time Pravda, which called Nasser "an outstanding statesman," insisted that Russia has no designs on his republic.

"Economic aid rendered by the U.S.S.R. to the republic has no conditions attached to it which could infringe its sovereignty or national independence," it said. Mercury Dips As Cold Wave Hits Midwest By UNITED PRESS A cold wave with temperatures plunging as low as 15 degrees swept into the northern midwest early today, and the southward flow of cool air touched off new weather violence in flood plagued Texas. A hard freeze, which could be damaging this late in the season, was expected over sections of the northern plains and the upper Mississippi Valley today. In Texas, a break in the levee along the rain-swollen Trinity River sent floodwa-ters swirling across an estimated 3,000 acres of crop and pasture land south of Dallas.

A Tornado ripped into the central Texas community of Downing last night, destroying several homes.

At least four persons were reported dead in weather-caused accidents in the southwest since the week end. Smaller floods washed out' roads in east Texas, northwest Louisiana and southern Arkansas. The blast of cold Canadian air in the north plunged readings an average of 20 to 25 degrees during the night.

The importance attached to the visit by Russia and the Communist world was emphasized when the Embassy staffs of the Soviet Union and Hungary turned out with U.A.R. officials to see him off despite the predawn hour. Western observers believed Nasser would return to Cairo with renewed pledges of Soviet "unity" with the Arab world, and possible offers of greater military and economic aid. Some sources believed the short end of last year's 2 to 1 decision to keep Matson Navigation Company as the sole operator in the Hawaii trade, arrived here yesterday aboard the Matsonia. He charged that the Justice Department was "completely out of order" in intervening in the maritime body's decision to keep Pacific Far East Lines' freighters out of Hawaiian route competition.

"The Justice Department entered the case on a question of monopoly by Mat-son," Guill said. "That question does not belong here." If the department wants to charge Matson with operating a monopoly, it should do so on its own, and' not use the board's decision as an excuse for entering the picture, he said. The dispute involves P.F.E.L.'s proposed three freighter stops a month in Hawaii. The board, in its decision, ruled this would result in unfair competition to Matson, which now carries 98 per cent of Hawaii's West Coast trade. P.F.E.L.

asked the U.S. Court of Appeals to review the board's rejection but the Justice Department argued that the court lacked jurisdiction. This created the unusual situation of Government attorneys opposing a Government agency. Guill explained why he voted against other board members. "You can't be a little pregnant," he said.

Some Matson ships operate under a Government subsidy, as do P.F.E.L. freighters, he The subsidy question was a strong argument in Mat-son's case against the opposing line. Guill, a former.Texas Congressman, is en route to Japan for astudy of Japanese shipbuilding costs. The figures he obtains will be used in computing Government subsidies to U.S. shipping companies which are required to build in the U.S.

With Assaulting Policeman Indonesia's Capture Mo SINGAPORE, April 29 (AP) Indonesia's Rebels today claimed widespread air strikes against President Sukarno's forces on the eastern end of the sprawling island chain. They claimed capture of a World War II air base in an amphibious landing. The sudden upsurge of activity at the opposite end of the archipelago from Sumatra hitherto the focal point of the rebellion posed Sukarno the problem of fighting on two active fronts 1,800 or more miles apart. CAPTURE AIR BASE The Rebels claimed capture of the air base at Moro-tai Island 275 miles east of their North Celebes stronghold of Menado. Capture of Morotai marked the first major Rebel victory since Sukarno's central government took the offensive on Sumatra two months ago.

"I personally am a pacifist, opposed to the use of violence," Wirin added. CONFERS WITH CREW The attorney conferred with the Golden Rule's crewmen yesterday. Neither Wirin nor Bige-Iow would say what they discussed.

Wirin declined to comment on whether he thinks the restraining order will be made permanent. "The order raises very important constitutional questions, as well as questions of high judicial policy," Wirin said. "That's one of the reasons I agreed to appear on their behalf."

He said he bases his opinion on reports by various scientists. Meantime, Bigelow indicated he and his crewmen still haven't decided whether they'll obey the restraining order if it is made permanent.

Any action, Bigelow said, will be considered "carefully and prayerfully." Mrs. Adelide French DeSoto, 29, of 2317-E Kalaunu Street, was charged today with committing an assault with a deadly weapon, a felony, against Police Officer Taetafe Uperesa Sunday night. Bail was set at $1,000. No charge was placed against her in the wounding of her brother-in-law, William H. Card, who suffered a gunshot in his right shoulder.

The shooting of Card was "purely accidental," Detective Eugene Schneider said. According to the investigator, Mrs. DeSoto, mother of six, does not remember pointing Officer Uperesa's gun at him or threatening to shoot the patrolman. "She doesn't deny doing it; she just says she doesn't remember," Schneider explained. Following her arrest Sunday night, Mrs, DeSoto was asked by Detective Joseph Jones if she had intended shooting Uperesa during a Saturday's Circulation 105,1.10 100 bought and paid for On Saturday itie Star-Bulletin sailed in a sain with another quick aale.
