Cuban Congress Is In Special Session Strike Postponed By Batista's Foes ' HANAVA — (If! — Congress meets in special session tonight to grant President Fulgencio Batista “exceptional powers” to deal 'with a rebel thr*eat of “total war.” Informed sources said the general strike which the President’s foes had been expected to start today has been postponed while its leaders study his demand for emergency authority. The national legislature, dominated by supporters of the government, is considered sure to give Batista the powers he wants, The best information available indicates Batista will proclaim a state of national emergency to enable the army to deal with the strike, which rebel leader Fidel Castro says is likely to plunge Cuba into a "blood bath.” Hanava was generally quiet over the weekend, but a wave of buying in apparent anticipation of a strike depleted stocks of food—particularly canned milk and baby food. Tile powerful CTC (pro-govern-ment' union federation bought space in the nation’s newspapers to warn its 1,250,000 members not to support the rebel walkout. Police scoured Hanava’s cheaper hotels and boarding houses, looking for “out of towners” who might have been brought in by the rebel for strike provacation. No arrests were reported. The only violence reported over the weekend occurred in East Havana, where police “liquidated’” four or five rebel gumen who tried to hijack an army dynamite truck. Two soldiers were injured. In rebel-infested Santiago, the Texas Oil Co. announced that it has completed the removal of wives and children of its 70-odd American employes in Cuba. The employe families left by chartered airliner Saturday for Port Arthur, Tex., where most of them live. ♦ . Hammarksjold Meets With British Leaders LONDON (IP! — U. N. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold began four days of talks with British leaders today that may smooth the way for summit talks with Russia. Hammarskjold has just returned from Moscow where he talked with Premier Nikita Khrushchev before and after the Communist Party leader took over his new post. A Delay . OLD SAYBROOK, Conn. (IP! — After 101 years of service, the Coast Guard decided to replace the Cornfield Lightship on Long Island Sound with radar buoys.

D. — (IB — pet turtle belonging to the Ed Redmann family wandered away for a stroll in 1949 after snapping a line that bound it to a free. The turtle returned recently, a little older and a little larger, but; still carrying the ring through the shell which had been used in tying it to a tree. 'Swifts achieve the most rapid flight known among birds. By means of a stop watch, two species in India have been clocked at 170 to 200 miles an hour.

Girls who have been registered as scouts this year, even though no longer in an active troop, also qualify. Living in small groups, four tent units for older girls and two screened cabin units for the younger Intermediates, the camp' ers develop such qualities as resourcefulness, initiative and selfi reliance as well as good citizenship, by having a part in planning and carrying out the camping program.

In addition, two councilor-in-training courses for girls 16 or over will be offered. Camp Logan has a well-developed waterfront program for all girls, which includes swimming, boating, sailing, and canoeing according to the age and ability of the camper. Camp Logan sessions are as follows: June 30-July 11; July 14-July 25; July 28-Aug. 8, and Aug. 11Aug. 22.

(IF) — An.lndianapolis businessman and his two daughters were believed aboard a missing two-engine plane apparently lost somewhere in the wilds of Central Georgia. Air Force helicopters joined with land search parties to locate the plane carrying Alex Adomatis, 55, and his daughters, Rosemary, 15, and Ruth, 19, a student at Greenville, 111., college. The plane left Weir Cook Airport at Indianapolis early Sunday on the first hop of a flight toward a brief Florida vacation. Adomatis planned to attend the Indianapolis Aero Club’s annual spring outing south of Miami. Joseph Fuchs, Civil Aeronautics Administration control tower operator at Macon Field, said Adomatis reported late in the day that his fuel supply was low and asked for landing clearance. Fuchs granted permission and the pilot acknowledged the instruction. But then the plane's radio went dead and it was the last the control tower heard from Adomatis. A ground search was started immediately in the rugged, swampy country around Macon, but it was called off at midnight because of foggy weather and. rain. Lee Cites Loss On Expense Accounts FCC Member Gives Testimony At Probe ' Washington <up> -3 Robert E. Lite of the Federal Communications Commission testified today that he lost “substantial” sums on his expense accounts even though he let the broadcasting industry pick up some of the tabs. He told a House investigating subcommittee that “on occasions” he allowed industry groups pay his hotel bills when part or all of the sl2 a day per diem went on his government expense account. Lee said he saw nothing wrong with the practice. “I have had one simple test,” he said, “and that has been not to make a profit on a trip" Lee, an FCC member since Oct. 6, 1953, was called before the subcommittee on legislative oversight which has been looking into alleged misconduct by FCC members. Lee .said hotel bills of commissioners were “generally paid” by the industry when they attended the annual meeting of the National Association of Broadcasters, or state and regional meetings of the NAB. He endorsed a suggestion made last week that the law might be changed to permit commissioners to file expense accounts to cover their actual out-of-pocket spending. “This would be a very salutary thing if it could be done,” he said. Lee said the commissioners^‘do pick up the check once in a while” when attending broadcasters’ meetings, he said. But they couldn’t afford to be “even" with industry is spending. By The Foot PROVIDENCE, R. I. (IPI — Richard J. Ricci told Judge Ludgi DePasquale in district court that he had gone only 50 feet from his backyard when police stopped him for having no plates on the car. “Ten cents a foot," the court said, "for a total fine of $5.”

The state's closing arguments were scheduled for this afternoon, after which the jury will retire to deliberate the case.

Bridge Blown Up By Indonesian Rebels Airfield Runways Also Dynamited SINGAPORE (U“P)— Indonesian rebels blew up a bridge on the approaches to Bukittingi during the weekend and dynamited runways at the Padang airport to block an expected loyalist attack. In Surabaya, anti - American demonstrtors paraded in protest against supposed U.S. aid to the rebels. The newly formed rebel marine corps blew the bridge at Bangkinang, on the Pakanbaru road 60 miles northeast of Bukittingi, after repelling probing attacks by loyalist troops. There was no report of casualties. At the same time, other insurgents destroyed the Padang airport—the only good landing field in western Sumatra — to prevent its use by loyalist paratroops like those who captured Pakanbarum and Medan. Rebel sources believe the loyalists will land troops somewhere on the 100-mile stretch of coast between Pariaman and Painan in hopes of seizing Bukittingi. the rebel capital, and the nearby port of Padang. The demonstration at Surabayo ■ was inspired by the government claim that American-made weapons flown in from Nationalist China were parachuted to the rebels during the battle for Pakanbaru. One of two news photographers who had been reported arrested by the loyalists arrived here today, saying that although he and his companion had an uncomfortable few minutes they were never in serious trouble. Marc Riboud, who lives in Manila, and Life photographer John Dominis had a brush with the loyalists at Prapat when they pro- | duced identity cards issued by the rebels. Dominis did not accompany Riboud here. The Life photograph- I er is believed to be still on 1 Sumatra. j I - - At the Adams county memorial hospital: Jennifer Jo is the name given to the seven pound, one ounce daughter of Richard and Gwendolyn Hilyard Mies, of 266% North Second street.
