'pressure from protectionists. The protectionists want higher import duties on cheaply made foreign products which compete j with domestic industries already hurt by the recession'. The pending legislation would extend the trade program for five years and give the President increased tariff-cutting authority. Elsewhere in Congress: Rackets: Sidney Lewis, publisher of a New York City labor newspaper, collapsed and died today—apparently of a heart attack —just before he was scheduled to testify before the Senate Rackets Committee The committee is looking into the activities of Ben I Lapensohn, described by chief . counsel Robert F. Kennedy as a “go-between or fixer” for officers ' and members of Tearrfsters Union I Locals 107 and 596 in Philadelphia. Space: Sen. Styles Bridges (RN.H.) told the Senate Space Comi mittee President Eisenhower’s J space control pogram gives too little voice to the military. He I said the plan “falls over backwards" toward civilian control., ■Chief ssue before the committee

—- ' is whether the Defense Department would have too much — o too little — authority over space exploration. Defense: Perkins* McGuire, assistant defense secretary for supply and logistics, urged the House Armed Services Committee to repeal a provision of a law allowing the Army, Navy and Air Force to be "separately administered” by their civilian secretaries. Testifying in supptor of President Eisenhower’s defense reorganization program, he said this key provision was necessary because conflicting demands of the services delay important decisions. Republican and Democratic legislates alike waited for reaction to President Eisenhower s GOP dinner speech Tuesday night in which he appealed for support of his legislative program, including foreign trade. Democrats put off voting on the measure in the committee Tuesday Democratic leaders say the I bill IS in grave danger of being riddled with Republican-backed , amendments that would impose drastic new restrictions on U.S.;

imports. The bill would extend the President’s tariff-negotiating authority for five years after June 30, with power to reduce tariffs by 25 per cent over that period. House farm leaders were pressing for approval of a bill authorizing a cut in price supports for extra-long staple cotton. It may get on the House floor for debate today. The farmers who grow the crop requested the price suppot cut in order to remain competitive with growers in other countries, mainly Egypt, Space problems continued to intrigue House and Senate committees. today. The House Space Committee sought to determine Whether anything but force could stop a nation from claiming the moon or Mars. International space laws appeared the alternative. The Senate Space Committee was to deal with the administation's spadfe program, and hear from Undersecretary of Defense Donald A Quarles. Chief Counsel Robert F. Kennedy of the Senate Rackets Com-

mittee said evidence would be presented today which may interest the government in starting extradition proceedings to bring labor figure Ben Lapensohn back to the United States. The forrme Philadelphian has been a central figure in the committee’s current investigation of Teamster Union skullduggery. Other congressional news: Space: Sen. Clinton P. Anderson '(D-N.M.) said in a Senate speech that President Eisenhower’s space organization plan would give the Armed Services and private industry too much say in the government’s space program. Atomic Testing: In testimony made public by the Senate disarmament subcommittee, it was disclosed that Dr. Hans Bethe, noted nuclear physicist and a member of the President’s Science Advisory Committee, testified on April 15 that a cheat-proof suspension of U.S- nuclear tests would be “considerably” to this country’s advantage. At the same session, Chajrman Lewis 11. Strauss of the Atomic Energy Commission con-

tended a test suspenson at this time “would be a disadvantage to us.” Reclamation: The Senate approved a resolution calling for a 40 per cent increase over the Eisenhower administration budget for reclamation spending n fiscal 1959. It does not call for appropriations but expesses the “sense of the Senate” that the government should spend 330 million dollars on reclamation projects during the new fiscal year st a rti n g July 1. Says Starkweather Egged On By Girl Defense Says Youth Wanted To Surrender LINCOLN, Neb. (UP)The defense pictured Charles Starkweather today as a young man who would have halted his orgy of 11 killings at the halfway mark had not his 14-year-old girl friend prodded him on.. Not only did Caril Ann Fugate’ urge him on, but she held a shotgun as she told him she wasn’t going to surrender and neither was he. lawyers for Starkweather said. i Attorney T. Clement Gaughan released two sections of the confession the 19-year-old red-haired killer made last February. They came as the trial went into its third day with a panel of ,17 prospective jurors tentatively approved. It appeared a panel of 34 would be approved by late today and the 12-member jury chosen from that. The portions of the confession represented questions and answers between County Atty. Elmer Scheele and Starkweather. He was being questioned in one about the events immediately after the slaying of Carol June King and Robert Jensen, Doth 17. They were Starkweather's fifth and sixth victims- He is being tried for Jensen’s murder. The confession went like this: Q. What did you say? A. Well, I was pretty teed off at her. And I said I'm going to give myself up. Q. What did she say? A. She kept trying to talk me out of it. We was going down shooting (presumably (speeding) down the highway and I told her I was going to go and give myself up and she said, no I wouldn't. Q. And what did you say? A. I said, yes I was Q. And how did it end up? A. When you got the.4lo( gauge shotgun) setting there, I wasn't going to do it. Q. What do yoy mean, the .410? Did she point it at you? A. No It was -tting across her lap and she said she wasn’t going to give up and she wasn’t going to let anything stand in the way of her giving up. And I thought that was good enough for me. There was no explanation of the contradictory nature of that statement. ) Q. Did you have a conversation with her about taking her back home. A. No. Caril is being held in the Lincoln State Hospital pending a decision whether she is to be tried in Juvenile Court or c'an stand trial for murder as an adult. The second section of the confession released dealt with events just before the slaying of young Jensen and his sweetheart. BALLONISTS (Continued from Page one) flight Was “successfully executed with no failures reported in the tests or measurements.” The spokesmen said it would take some time to evaluate tltt( scientific data obtained. Aboard the gondola were Alfred I. Mikesell, an astronomer who became the first man ever to view the heavens through a telescope from above the eprth's atmosphere. and Cmdr. M. D. Moss, an atmospheric physicist and pilot of the balloon. The Navy said another first in the flight, one of a series which have been conducted by the Office of Naval Research, was the extensive equipment aboard to relay the effects of the flight on the men Instruments relayed information to ground stations which passed them on to Capt. Norman L. Barr, of the Navy Medical Corps, in Bethesda, Md., on the men’s heartbeats, breath sounds, voice reports, pulse rate and respiratory volume. Barr said when the men ascended from Crosby, their pulses went to 130 per minute but went down to around 100 at 20,000 feet. He said the men’s reactions were normal under the conditions, and both reacted about the same. With the ground station hookup, Barr said he kept check on the men throughout the night and would have known two minutes before if the men showed signs of blacking out. Two planes, one from General Mills ahd the other from the University of Minnesota, both of which are cooperating in the tests, followed the balloon during the night. Maine Deer AUGUSTA, Me. — (IF — The 1957 Maine deer kill of 40,142 was the third highest since the state has kept records. There were 41,730 slain in 1951 and 40,290 in 1956. ■

Rain-Swollen Rivers Lapping Over Levees Seaboard Storm Hits At South Carolina By UNITED PRESS Rain-swollen rivers lapped over levees in Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee and North Carolina, and a seaboard storm whipped up tides and spawned tornadoes in South Carolina. One person was injured and several homes were damaged Tuesday when a twister struck near Walterboro, S.C.

In Louisiana, the Red River threatened to break a levee protecting about 10,000 acres in the northern part of the state despite an around-the-block battle by 500 airmen and civil defense and volunteer workers.
