NEW DEL I, India (iP)—Fighting has broken out between
Tibetan rebels nd Chinese Communist forces in Tsinghai and
Sikang Provice on Tibet's frontier, press reports said yester
day.
The Times of India said rebels had cut off Chamdo, deep
in Sikang Province on the main
supply road between China and
Lhasa, the Tibetan capital.
The correspondent said rebels
also were fighting Chinese in the
Amdo area of Tsinghai Province,
birthplace of Tibet's self-exiled
Dalai Lama.
Education Board
May Be Created
HARRISBURG (W)—Legislation
setting up a powerful State Board
of Education rule Pennsylvania's
school program may stem from a
Senate probe of the Public In
struction Department.
The state has no administrative
board now. Power to run the de
partment's vast program is con
centrated in the hands of Charles
H. Boehm, superintendent of pub
lic instruction.
The key word in the minds of
the three Republican and two
Democratic senators running the
investigation is "discretion." They
question whether the power to
run the state's 819-million-dollar
s-biennium school program should
dwell in one man.
Boehm is answerable only to
Gov. Lawrence in running state
education. However, much of the
money he administers is ear
marked by the Legislature for
specific items, such as teacher
salaries.
Seven Officers Named
For Space Travel
WASHINGTON (/P)—America's first space travelers-to-be
were put on view yesterday—seven calm steel-nerved married
men in their 30s. They say they're sure they'll come back safe
from the most terrifyingly dangerous voyage yet conceived
for a human being.
One of the seven will be the first American—the first of
any nation, if things go right—to
be rocketed into orbit around the
earth.
Nobody knows yet which one
will get the first historic ride.
Each of the seven says it's
something of which he has long
dreamed.
Each also said at a news con
ference that it's okay with the
wife and children for him to make
the first satellite flight.
The National Aeronautics and
Space Administration announced
last Monday that seven "Space
candidates had been selected as
the final team for this country's
first manned satellite program,
Project Mercury_
But not until Thursday did the
agency name the seven: Three Air
Force jet pilots, three Navy fliers
and a Marine test pilot making
up the training group.
These seven were selected,
after possibly the most rigid
physical and mental lasts ever
given human beings, from
Authoritative sources on Na
tionalist China's Formosa esti
mated 200,000 tribesmen were !
fighting the Chinese Communistsl
in Sikang Province and the bor-,
der area province of Szechwan.
Meanwhile, the fugitive Dalai'
Lama proceeded by horseback
along his placid way toward Tez
pur, in northeast India, where he
is expected to take a train to
his ultimate refuge.
The young Tibetan god-king
may go to Mussoorie, in the hills
of Kumaon where the palaces of
former Indian princes might pro
vide a proper refuge. Prime Min
ister Nehru is due in Mussoorie
•April 23 for a meeting. He has
,saima.d he intends to see the Dalai
La
among 55 volunteers for the
first space flights.
All seven expect to be satellite
passengers—whirling around the
world two or three times in about
90 minutes a trip at upwards of
100 miles in the air—before the
project ends.

Architect
F. L. Wright
Dies at 89
PHOENIX, Ariz. (/Tl—Colorful'
Frank Lloyd Wright, 89, master'
architect who fashioned a world'
reputation for brilliant design,l
died in a Phoenix hospital yester-I
'day.
Known as the "rebellious olds
gentleman" of his profession,'
Wright entered the hospital last]
Saturday and underwent surgery!
Monday for removal of an intes-I
tinal obstruction. Physicians felt(
he was holding his own up to an,
hour before his death.
Wright was the center of con- t
troversy throughout his profes
sional life. Many of his designs
were unusual in appearance and t
radical in engineering.
"Early in life I had to choose'
between honest arrogance andj
hypocritical humility," he said a
few years ago. "I chose honest,
arrogance and have seen no oc-I
casion to change."
He designed more than 700 j
buildings around the world,
in
cluding the Imperial Hotel in
Tokyo, the Price Tower in Bart
lesville, Okla., and the still un
finished Guggenheim Museum in,
New York.
Born June 8. 1869, in Rich- i
I land Center, Wis., Wright began
I his career as an apprentice
without waiting to graduate
from college.
Some of his sharpest verbal
blasts were at the American In
stitute of Architects and its mem
bers.
But in 1948, the institute named
(himh the 15th winner in 42 years
tof its gold medal "for distinguish
led service to the advancement of
the art and the profession of archi
tecture."
"The only thing wrong with
architecture is architects." he
once said.
Wright called cities "vampires
sterilizing humanity" and apart
ments "sanitary slums."

Arabs Consider
Anti-Red Bloc
BEIRUT, Lebanon (?P)—Shocked by the threat of a Com
munist take-over in Iraq, Arabs may be moved to form their
own home-made anti-Comniunist bloc. It could succeed where
a Western attempt to stem communism in the Arab East
failed.
The Baghdad Pact, formed
Iraq, to Britain, Turkey and Pak
fistan in a northern wall against
!communism. But Arab national
ists rejected it. They associated
the West with imperialism and
colonialism, suspected its motives.
Only the Iraqi monarchy, domi
nated by the late Premier Nuri
Said, went along with the al
liance, giving the pact its name.
The lack of Arab unity was
clear at the Arab League meeting
of foreign ministers here this
week. For reasons of their own,
some leaders hesitated to join
United Arab Republic President
Carnal Abdel Nasser's vigorous
anti-Communist campaign.
There is a parallel between
what is taking place in the Mid
dle East now and what happened
in Europe a decade ago. As one
Eastern European country after
-another fell into the Communist
net, Western European countries
rallied to the concept of NATO.
Even then the defense alliance
!lacked teeth until the shock of
;the Korean War.
how much
paying for
You wouldn't knowingly pay a cent toward socializ
ing the U.S.A. You've seen what happens to the
rights and freedoms of the individual in other coun
tries when government takes over and runs things.
Yet you and other Americans have already paid
more than five and a half billion dollars in taxes
toward the socializing of the electric light and power
business. So-called "public power" has now put
control of almost 1/5 of the country's electricity►
into the federal government's hands.
And that's just the beginning. The federal
"public power" pressure groups are pushing the
idea that Congress should spend another ten billion
dollars to carry this grab further—with taxes to be
collected from you, of course.
And it's all so unnecessary. For America's many
independent electric light and power companies are
able—and ready—to supply the electricity the na
tion needs—without spending a cent of your taxes.
The reason this socialism by taxation goes on is
simply that most people don't know about it. So
you can help halt it by spreading the word.
As soon as enough people know that their taxes
are being used to buy socialism, they will stop it.
