held under lease by one person
or a firm, plus an additional 10,
240 acres, at the discretion of the
Secretary of the Interior.
The House bill, introduced by
Rep. Ralph Rivers, would make
the limits 10.240, plus 5,120 at the
—- discretion of the Interior Sec

AIRPLANE RUNS LANDING
OBSTACLE COURSE SAFELY
SPRINGFIELD, Mo., UP) — Ever
see a pilot run an airplane through
an obstacle course on the ground?
Sid Cutter, 25, of Albuquerque,
N. M., pulled that stunt Wednes
day night. He had to.
Head winds reduced his gas
supply and the engine quit a half
mile from the Springfield airport.
The small plane came down in
a pasture. Picking his way with
landing lights, Cutter hopped a
fence, squeezed around a tree,
then a pond, and stopped against
a second fence.
No damage was done.

Highway Program
WASHINGTON, UP>—'The House
Public Works Committee yester
day called for continuation of the
interstate highway program at a
high-level rate of construction for
the next 13 years.
In so doing, the committee left
it up to Congress to find revenues
to finance the program.
Yesterday’s action tossed back
at the House Ways and Means
Committee a revenue-slashing
plan that would virtually halt the
federal-state interstate network
next year and slow it down there
after.
President Eisenhower had asked
for an increase of IY2 cents a
gallon in the federal gasoline tax.
The Ways and Means Commit
tee, which is charged with raising
the necessary revenues, has turned
down any tax incrase and voted
instead to tide the program over
its current financial crisis through
a special billion-dollar bond issue.
These bonds would be retired by
the 10 per cent manufacturers
exise tax on new automobiles.
The Public W’orks Committee,
which fixes the rate of construc
tion, rejected the Ways and Means
Committee plan.
For the next nine years the
public works plan proposes to
keep construction going at the
rate of $2,200,000,000 a year.

Madman \\ ho
Threatened Ike
Kills Old Folks
PHILADELPHIA, UP — A mad
| man fired repeated shotgun blasts
| into a crowded dining room of a
home for the aged yesterday, kill
ing two of the residents and
wounding four others.
He was then wounded and cap
tured in a battle with expert po
lice riflemen.
The gunman, Kyrlo Czupirczuk,
52, an unemployed carpenter, had
j been placed in an institution
earlier this year after sending
j threatening letters to President
Eisenhower. He was released in
April.
He babbled incoherently after
his capture and police were un
able to determine what imagined
wrong led to his outburst.
“I shoot Communist,” he ex
plained. “I don’t shoot police. Po
lice shot me. Communists radiate
me. They bother me.”
That was his complaint in a
letter he wrote last January to
President Eisenhower. The letter
asked the President to do some
thing about the “radioactivity
around his house.” He was sure
the Communists had something
to do with it.
He even went to Washington,
but he was arrested by Secret
Service agents and sent to a men
tal institution, St. Elizabeth’s
Hospital, Washington.
“He showed no homicidal ten
dencies when he was released in
May.” a hospital official said.
About 150 residents of the Up
town Home for the Aged were
gathered for breakfast in the
first-floor dining room when the
gun blasts started from the ad
joining home were Szupirczuk
lives.
Shotgun pellets shattered win
dows and sprayed residents of the
home. Several fell to the floor.
Others ran in wild confusion.
Some of the more elderly and in
firm sat stunned.
An employe of the privately
operated home for Jewish people,
; Gorge Simms, 50, arrived for work
I at the height of the shooting. He
' became the target, but escaped
; harm and called police.
Wade Rejects Late
Ballot Change Petition
JUNEAU — Secretary of State
Hugh J. Wade last week rejected
the petitions seeking a referendum
vote by Alaskans on the law pro
viding for a party-column ballot.
The petitions seeking to refer to
the voters the party primary bill
enacted by the State Legislature
were submitted from Fairbanks
and Juneau. Each, he said, was
“obviously too late” to be certi
fied, under requirements of the
State Constitution.
