White Refuges Escape Rebels LEOPOLDVILLE, The Congo tJPI — Terrified white refugees Wednesday streamed into Leopoldville from villages in an area where rebel marauders killed three Belgians last Monday. Other whites appealed for rescue. The murders of the three Belgian men were confirmed by refugees from the village of Nioki. about 210 miles northeast of here. The three were identified as employees of the Nioki timber factory of the Forescom Co. The rebel band massacred the small government force defending the village and then attacked the factory where white men, women and children took refuge. Most of the other 30 whites escapde after a battle and reached safety Tuesday. Twenty-four white refugees, most of them Portuguese, arrived in Leopoldville from Inongo, about 90 miles northeast of Nioki. Swedish missionaries from Konkeia. also near Nioki, reached another station further east Tuesday and appealed for planes to fly them out. Pleas for evacuation also came from whites in Banningville, about 60 miles south of Nioki.

I In many cases, an airline will I negotiate a compromise rather 1 than go through a lengthy and expensive fight over alleged : violations.

Airline To Pay $75,000 Fine WASHINGTON UPI — The Federal Aviation Agency FAA •aid Wednesday it has accepted a compromise $75,000 payment from Western Air Lines for alleged “multiple” violations of government maintenance and operating rules. The fine was the largest ever levied on an individual airline. An FAA spokesman said it represented “full discharge of civil penalties for multiple alleged violations.” The agency did not disclose the specific incidents, which presumably could have resulted in an even higher penalty. FAA said they occured in the latter part of 1964 and were uncovered in the course of a special in-

spection.

The agency said the compromise payment did not represent the carrier's admission of guilt

Fears World Beef Famine LONDON UPI — There may be a world beef famine unless drastic steps are taken to increase production. Lord Luke chairman of the Bovril group of meat extract companies, said Wednesday, Luke told BovriTs annual meeting that the world beef and cattle situation was “now a matter of grave concern.” Living standards were rising and this increased demand for meat. He added this demand was “nowhere greater than in the very countries that are themselves producers of the world's supplies

of beef.

“The Argentine is struggling to satisfy its ever-increasing home consumption and at the same time find a surplus for export,” Luke said. He added that in Britain, while there were improvements in breeding and multi-raising plant experiments for barley beef, the European continent was prepared to pay high prices for beef and supplies were being directed there. Producers were even selling off breeding stock to cash in on the rising market.

Luke said British farmers wars being tempted by the price structure and nobody could blame them. “The whole world is short of beef. Serious thought must be given now to increasing production of beef cattle wherever possible. This is urgent since with cattle the re-adjustment takes longer than any of the other traditional meat producing animals. “Unless drastic steps are taken immediately, a world beef famine becomes inevitable. Housewives in the future, looking back at today’s price of prime steak, may well consider that it was very low indeed,” he said.

whether these facilities should be rebuilt, but President Johnson and his advisors agreed Seward should be salvaged. Actually, Seward has been on the map only since 1903, although its broad harbor, Resurrection Bay, has been a favorite anchorage since the time of the Russians. A beaver tail of the North Pacific, Resurrection Bay is protected from storms at sea by ranks and stanchions of mountains and it is kept icefree by the warm swirl of the Japanese Current. It was no accident that an Englishmen named Shields chose this place to build Baranof’s vessel, Phoenix. And it was no accident that three men in the summer of 1914 picked this place for the ocean terminous of the Alaska Rail-

| the Southern Pacific Railroad i and Lt. Frederick Mears of the U. S. Army—made their recommendation on the basis of a field survey. The town at that time was the terminous of two stillborn railroads, the Alaska Central and the Alaska North-

ern.

These lines had succeeded in laying 100 miles of track before deficits put them out of business. At the direction of President Woodrow Wilson, the U.S. government took over the task of building the line northward into the interior. Until this time Seward’s commerce consisted mainly of loading dog sleds with the cargo of the ships that stopped by. The railroad made it a city. When the earthquake struck, it was almost a fatal blow. The tidal wave that folowed the

quake clipped the waterfront from Seward as if it had been done with a pair of giant shears. The enormity of the damage . was evidenced by estimates that it would take about $18 million to put back into working order the railroad terminal, its ocean docks, the small boat harbor, the city dock, the airfield, damaged municipal and state buildings and broken sewer and

water mains.
