Puerto Rican Terrorists
Sentenced To Prison
Ranging Up To 75 Years
WASHINGTON, UP) — F o u r
Puerto Rican terrorists who shot
up the House of Representatives
March 1 and wounded five, of its
members, were given maximum
sentences Thursday ranging up to
75 years.
A fiery brunette, Lo'lita Lebron,
34, self-styled leader of the group,
received a sentence of from 16
years, 8 months, to 50 years.
Her three male companions re
ceived sentences of from 25 to 75
years each.
U.S. District Judge Alexander
Holtzoff said he felt maximum
sentences were justified because
the crime was “so heinous, so in
famous, so' daring and so atrocious
as to shock the conscience of the
nation.”
Before hearing their sentences,
the four Puerto Ricans protested
anew that they merely staged a
demonstration in behalf of Puerto
Rican independence, and did not
intend to kill anyone.
In their own minds, the Puerto
Ricans said, they did not feel they
were guilty of any crime.
Lawyers for the four said in
advance of the sentencing they
will file notices of appeal.

Republicans Hail
Million Job Gain
In Employment
WASHINGTON, W)—Some Re
publicans hailed a million - job
gain in employment as indicating
a business uptrend but Senator
George (D-Ga> said he wonders
if the country is out of the econ
omic woods.
Sen. Williams (R-Del) said “the
Democrats will have to change
their slogan” in view of a report
on the employment picture issued
by the Commerce and Labor de
partments.
“They can’t run in November
on the ‘fear of depression’ slogan
they used against the Republicans
in 1952,” he said in an inter
view. “The Republicans are in
and there isn’t any depression, so
they’ll have to change their tune.”
The two departments reported
that employment increased by
nearly one million from May to
June and that, contrary to the
pattern set over the last 14 years,
there was almost no increase in
unemployment.
It is possible for both employ
ment and unemployment to jump
in the same month because the
government, for statistical pur
poses, counts as out of work only
persons who are looking for jobs.
Thus a person who is idle but
isn’t looking for work doesn’t
show up in the statistics.
The tradiitonal upturn in both
employment and unemployment
in June is attributable to the fact
that many students join the labor
force for summer jobs.

I rate of more than 100 feet a year.

$300 Gold Poke Will Be
Queen Contest Prize In
Matanuska Valley Fair
PALMER—Rusty Dow has been
instructed to purchase $300 worth
of gold for the gold poke to be
used as a top prize in the Queen
contest conducted during the Mat
anuska Valley Fair, September
4, 5, and 6.
The Matanuska Valley Sports
men were high bidders on the
dining room concession. The plan
is to furnish many Matanuska
Valley products on the menu and
to have both kiddy plates as well
as full courses for the adults.
In regard to the Queen contest
the Fair Association decided to
have the queen robe made locally.
A committee of one, Rusty Dow,
has been instructed to contact
local people in regard to the
Queen’s robe.
The U.S. Army, Alaska, will
conduct a demonstrative bivouac
at the fairgrounds between July 7
and July 12. It is expected that 40
to 50 vehicles and approximately
150 men will participate.
The Fair Association will offer
free space to the television and
radio stations for on-the-spot
broadcasting and televising. It is
thought that the programs and
televising of the Valley Fair will
bring into the limelight many of
the activities of the Matanuska
Valley.
A hurricane will release 200 to
300 times as much energy as the
early type of atomic bomb.
