Mayor Raw-Egged
On Canada Tour
NIAGARA FALLS, Ont., Wi —
The Mayor of Moscow was splat
tered Friday with a raw egg.
thrown by a man believed to be
a Lithuanian refugee, as he posed
for pictures during a goodwill
tour of Canada.
Nikolai Bobrovnikov, who was
posing with TV’s Wyatt Earp,
Hugh O’Brian, and two Canadian
mayors, was hit squarely on the
neck, according to a news photog
rapher who was taking the
picture.
The egg thrower was caught
after a 10-minute chase through
Victoria Park. He was arrested
and later released on £200 bail.
O’Brian continued to pose for
pictures while police chased the
fugitive.

Baltic country taken over by the
Soviet Union early in World War
II. Bobrovnikov made no comment
on the incident. Mayor Franklin
Miller, of Niagara Falls, Ont., de
clined to discuss the incident fur
ther, saying it might “jeopardize
international relations.”
Congress Will Adjourn
Before the Conventions
WASHINGTON, iJ’i —Congress
headed today into what could—
but probably won't—be the final
week of its 1960 session.
The decision whether it closes
up shop next Saturday or carries
over into the following week, or
even beyond, rests largely with
the House Rules Committee. That
group is sitting on two major
“must” measures and soon may
be perched on a third.
The trio of key bills deal with
minimum wages, federal aid to
education, and medical care for
the aged.
Congressional leaders see little
chance of final adjournment by
the weekend, but that is their
goal. They fear the session will
carry over into next week but
are dead set against returning
after the national political con
ventions.
That means final adjournment
not later than July 9 or early on
the morning of July 10, the eve
of the Democratic convention in
Los Angeles starting July 11.
It also means that many bills
not of a pressing nature will die
because there will be no time to
consider them in the usual ad
journmnet rush.

The Bureau of Land Manage

area under one of its land grants.
The state then could develop it
for public recreation purposes “or
make other appropriate arrange
ments for the area,” the Depart
ment said.
Should the state not select the
land in 91 days, local govern
ments or non-profit organizations
would have 15 months in which
to file applications for lease or
purchase of the land under the
Recreation and Public Purposes
Act. This law is designed to en
courage recreational and other
public use development of public
domain land.
Under the act. the Department
said, a local government or non
profit group may buy the land at
its appraised value or at a dis
count depending on the type of
public use involved.

Venezuela Chief
i Exec Hurt in Bomb
Assassination Try
By RICHARD G. MASSOCK
CARACAS. Venezuela, iff)—His
face swollen and hands bandaged
as a result of the bomb blast that
narrowly missed killing him.
President Romulo Betancourt
pressed a search over the weekend
for those behind the plot.
Betancourt, back in Miraflores
Palace after being treated in a
hospital for injuries, told repor
ters the attack was part of a wide
spread plan to overthrow his
government and set up a new
dictatorship.
“The incident shows that the
enemies of democracy — national j
and international — will resort
to every possible means to try to j
establish yranny in the country,”
Betancourt told newsmen.
Venezuela’s borders were sealed
off, air travel halted and some
constitutional guarantees sus
pended to facilitate the search.
Defense Minister Lopez Henri
quez who sat next to Betancourt
and was burned when the bomb
went off, alerted the country’s
armed forces against any attempt
to overthrow the President’s
three-party coalition government.
Three persons were reported
killed and eight wounded in the
blast, which marked the third as
sassination plot against Betan
court.
