Allegheny Airlines Asks Altoona Stopover Halt WASHINGTON 'Allegheny asked the Civil Aeronautics board Tuesday for continued authority to overfly Johnstown and Altoona, and for elimination of the requirement that at least two round trips a day serve every point between Pittsburgh and New York-Newark. The scheduled stops on that route are. in addition to Johnstown and Altoona, the Pennsvl-vania cities of Clearfield-DuBois-Phillipsburg, Bellefonte-State College, Lock Haven, Williamsport, Scranton-Wilkes-Barre and Strouds-burg-East Stroudsburg.

Allegheny said that with permission to omit stops at Johnstown and Altoona on some flights, it would assure those cities of at least four daily round trips to other cities on its system, and at least one daily round trip to and from New York-Newark. Allegheny said the present requirements unduly restrict flexibility of scheduling. 1931, at Lilly, he married Mary Ellen Simton.

Phone 2-7166 Urges Govt. Foreclose On Tin Corp. WASHINGTON UT Rep. Gamble (R-NY) proposed Tuesday that the government "foreclose" on the U. S.

Tin Corp. operations at Lone River, Alaska, and "get what money out of it we can." "That would cost money, but it will cost more money if this foolishness goes on," Gamble told the Senate-House Committee on Defense Production, of which he is a member. The committee has heard evidence that U. S. Tin obtained three million dollars in direct or insured loans from the government since 1951 while producing virtually no tin from its Alaskan mine, 90 miles north of Nome.

Gamble's foreclosure suggestion came after a government auditor testified that. Kenneth Kadow, while assistant to Democratic Secretary of the Interior Oscar Chapman, was hired secretly by U. S. Tin two months before the company obtained its first government-guaranteed loan of $375,000. The committee had heard previous testimony that Kadow lobbied for government approval of the loan.

Clifford Smith, auditor for the General Services Administration in San Francisco, told the committee he discovered Kadbw's early connection with the company through a study of its records. He said he found in the proceedings of U. S. Tin's board of director the acceptance in December, 1950, of "an employment contract" with Kadow. to be effective April 15, 1951.

Kadow was then responsible to the secretary of the interior for checking on all Alaskan development affecting the Interior department Kadow said in Juneau. Alaska, last week that any inference that he supported the U. S. Tin appli-cation for a loan just to create a job for himself is "100 per cent false." There is no question about his supporting ne loan in the Interests of Alaskan development, he said, but it was prior to any idea on his part or of company officials that he would join the corporation. Kadow has been asked to testify at executive sessions of the joint committee beginning July 26.

AF Academy Funds Voted WASHINGTON A. initial appropriation of is being sought to start work oi the new Air Force academy to bf built 'near Colorado Springs, Colo The Air Force's request, far lesi than the 26 billion dollars authorized for spending during the first year, was disclosed with publication' of' testimony taken In a closed session of the House Appropriations committee. The total includes a million dollars to provide temporary facilities for the academny for use until the school can be completed.

Maj Gen. Lee B.

UN Rejects Red Demand For U. S. To HaltA-Bomb Tests UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. CP) A UN committee Monday rejected a Soviet demand that it call upon the United States to halt atomic and hydrogen bomb tests in the Marshall Islands.

The issue came up in the six-nation Petitions committee of the UN Trusteeship Council. Although the Soviet proposal received no support except that of the Russian representative, it may come up later in the Council itself. The Petition committee also rejected two other proposals, one calling for an opinion from the International Court of Justice on the legality of the bomb tests and the other urging the United States to take more elaborate precautions in future experiments. The issue was brought to the UN by a group of residents of the Marshall Islaands, who expressed concern over the tests and asked that they be stopped or that great care be taken to see that the inhabitants are not endangered. The United States is the administering power which rules the Marshall Islands as part of the Pacific trust territory.

The United States, thus, acts as agent for the United Nations and is responsible to the world organization for its actions in that area. Russia, India and Syria charged the United States was violating the UN Charter i and also its trust agreement by converting the territory intoa proving ground for nuclear weapons. The United States insisted it had a right to make the tests in the trust territory. The Petitions committee, after the failure of all proposals to win sufficient support, had no alternative but to drop the question and submit a full report to the 12-nation Trusteeship Council.

'1 i 8- it Specs O'Keef Loses Appeal PHILADELPHIA (Specs) O'Keefe, once named by the FBI as a suspect in the million-dollar Brinks holdup in Boston, was ordered Tuesday to appear in McKean county court for commitment to jail on a three-to-12 years sentence for burglary. The order was issued by the Pennsylvania superior court which upheld O'Keefe's conviction on charges arising from the theft of five guns from a Kane, sporting goods store in June, 1950.

O'Keefe was convicted last Mar. 4 after he had served a three-year sentence in the Bradford county jail for carrying a revolver. President Judge Chester H. Rhodes, who wrote the superior court opinion, held that O'Keefe's conviction was proper, even though "the evidence in this case is circumstantial." O'Keefe was specifically charged in connection with disappearance of the five revolvers and a number of other items Including luggage and clothing, from the Rosenbloom department store in Coudersport. AH of the missing articles were found in O'Keefe's automobile when he was arrested by Pennsylvania state police on June 12, 1950, near Towanda.

In the car with O'Keefe was Stanley A. Gusciora. O'Keefe was convicted in McKean county on a charge of carrying firearms the guns stolen from the Kane store in his automobile. Gusciora was acquitted of the same charge. Both O'Keefe and Gusciora, however, were convicted of taking the revolvers from the store at Kane.

In his opinion, Judge Rhodes said: "The stolen articles were found in O'Keefe's car, being driven by him. less than 24 hours after the burglaries occurred. We think it is impossible to conclude that O'Keefe had no knowledge of the burglaries when, at the time of his arrest, he stated that one of the bags from the Coudersport store, which contained items taken from there, was his own traveling bag. 'This uncontradicted fact permitted a finding that O'Keete had knowledge of the origin and contents of that bag." "The circumstances established in this case reasonably and naturally justified an inference of guilt," the court said. O'Keefe, now free on bail, and was reported the target for a fusilade of machine gun bullets In Boston last month.

Billy Graham To Take Long Rest After Operation ASHEVTLLE, N. C. ta) Evangelist Billy Graham must rest six weeks following an operation here Monday for the removal of a kidney stone. Dr. Thomas R.

Huffines of Ashe-ville, who performed the operation, and Dr. L. Nelson Bell, Ashe-ville surgeon and Graham's father-in-law, said Graham must take a complete rest-Graham, whose home is at nearby Montreat, suffered five attacks during a recent European tour. Services provided by the state bureau of rehabilitation made it possible for 113 persons afflicted with speech or cleft palate defects to be taken from the rolls of the unemployed and placed in gainful jobs during the past year, it was reported recently'. The bureau's director, Mark M.

Walter, said 147 cleft palate and speech defect cases, or 4.2 per cent, of the total 3,493 given complet rehabilitative services during the past 12 months, were provided with proper medical attention, guidance and placement so they could be placed in remunerative jobs and made self-sufficient, citizens. "The amazing part of the accomplishment" Walter pointed out, "is that 113 of the group of 147 had no employment when their cases were referred to the bureau. The remaining 34 had part time employment earning from $10 to $40 a week." R. Hostler, manager of the bureau's Altoona district office, said seven of the cleft palate and speech defect cases were from the locat area which comprises Bedford, Blair, Cambria, Fulton, Huntingdon, Indiana and Somerset counties. He pointed out also that of the 147 cases in this category throughout the state, 61 were cleft palate and So speech defects.

When referred to the bureau for services these 147 individuals averaged 25 years of age. Hostler said the group averaged a 10th grade education and that 46 never had employment in their lifetime, 64 had only part-time jobs while the remaining 37 had rather substantial employment Nevertheless when accepted for services only 34 were wage earn ers, six were dependent upon public assistance for their support 42 unemployment compensation, two on other types insurance, 93 on their families and 10 on other sources. The origin of disability of the cleft palate was congenital conditions while for the 86 speech defectives 40 were congenital, 40 resulted from disease and six from accidents. Following their rehabilitation and placement in employment, Hostler said, the entire group oi 147 persons was earning an average of $46 a week. Seven were placed in jobs classified as professional, two semi-professional, two managerial, 30 clerical and kindred, eight sales and kindred, nine domestic service, 12 personal service, four protective service, three building service, three agricultural, 13 skilled.

30 semi-s filled, 12 unskilled, 12 housewives or unpaid family workers. The bureau spent an average of S989 to rehabilitate 'and place into gainful employment each of the 147 persons. All are now taxpayers instead of tax consumers and will return to government within five years through income taxes alone the amount of money expended on their rehabilitative services. Rev. Jolin J.

Snake Disappears, Then Reappears LORAIN, Ohio (. This brand of magic is a little confusing. But at any rate it appears 10-foot python named Gertrude is back in the possession of a magician named Harry Albacker. Maybe Gertrude has been in Harrisburg, or has she? As long ago as June 20 Albacker announced in Hagerstown, that the 60-pound Gertrude and her carrying case disappeared from his parked automobile. Tuesday Albacker said a telegram predicting Railway Express would return Gertrude proved true.

He said he went to the express station and found the python, still in the same carrying case. He added that the snake seemed "not a bit hungry." How did Albacker know he should go to the express office? Well, there was a telegram Monday from Harrisburg, Pa. He says it read: "Your snake is in the best of health and not dead as you believe. It was found in a driveway near Harrisburg and given to me to care for. Railway Express is returning it to you collect." At this point the old problem of the hand being quicker than the eye begins to figure in the situation.

Albacker says there was no signature on the telegram. And while he says he, paid $2.35 collect charges, the express office in Harrisburg couldn't find a record shipping a python al least not knowingly. Whether Gertrude has any recollection of being in Harrisburg would be a bttle difficult to determine. KP May Become Thing Of The Past For Servicemen CHICAGO VP) KP duty the most universally cursed aspect of military service may become a thing of the past, That is, if an experiment to be tried at the Vance Air Force Base, Enid, proves successful The Air Force has signed a six months contract under which Nationwide Food Service of Chicago will turn out the chow for some 5,000 airmen at Vance. Nationwide, which operates dining facilities in more than 200 industrial plants, schools and large office buildings plus the Senate restaurant in Washington, will do it all.

This means the hated potato peeling and pan washing, as well as cooking and serving. If the Vance experiment due tu start July 21 works out as Nationwide says it will, the Air Force will consider similar contracts at other bases. Ben Regan, executive vice president of Nationwide, contends his firm can operate mess halls more cheaply than the military and at the same time, give armed forces morale a shot in the arm by eliminating kitchen police duty. The armed forces have found dislike of KP to be a primary cause of AWOLS. But Regan says his experiment is aimed at the "peacetime mili-; tary." Nationwide's mess service al-: ready is a going business in Can-ada, where it began as a test at two bases two years ago and since has spread to nine more bases.
