Grotewohl did not mention the
latest U.S.-Soviet Berlin air cor
ridor dispute, which also is cloud

Defying Soviet insistence that
altitudes above 10,000 feet in the
three Berlin air corridors be re
served for Communist aircraft, a
U.S. Air Force Cl3O transport
made the round trip at above
20,000 feet. The United States
contends the planes operate more
efficiently at high altitudes.
The Soviets protested orally
through the American delegate
to the four-power air safety cen
ter, which controls flights to Ber
lin.
U.S. officials first said the flight
was carried out without danger
ous tactics by Soviet MIG fight
ers, although the transport was
shadowed by two Soviet MIG
fighters.
However, a U.S. source said la
ter information showed the So
viet fighters did carry out "dan
gerous harassment, or buzzing as
it is popularly called."
Furman Named to Replace McSorley
HARRISBURG (/P)—Gov. Law
rence said yesterday he would
appoint former Lt. Gov. Roy E.
Furman to the Pennsylvania
Turnpike Commission if suspend
ed Chairman G. Franklin McSor
ley decides to quit the post.
But he made it plain that if
McSorley wants to come back
and complete the remaining four
years of his term, Lawrence
won't stand in the way.
"If he applies for reinstate
ment, the reinstatement would
be approved," Lawrence told his
news conference.
Lawrence's disclosure that he
was considering Furman for the
$13,000-a-year turnpike post came
as no surprise.
The name of the 58-year-old
Waynesburg contractor has been
prominently mentioned in specu-

exhibition is to achieve a broader
understanding between the peo
ples of the United States and the
Soviet Union.
The goal, said Eisenhower, is
"the kind of mutual understand
ing upon which our peaceful fu
ture depends."
The President added: "It is a
hopeful approach. We welcome it
wholeheartedly."
Nixon will be the highest
ranking U. S. official to visit
Soviet territory since President
Franklin D. Roosevelt did at
Yalta in 1945.
Nixon's tentative schedule calls
'tohim to fly to the Soviet Union
fto open the American exhibit in
Moscow's Sokolniki Park on July
25. He plans to remain in Moscow
'three or four days.
The announcement had a note
of political interest. Nixon has
been wanting to go to the So
viet Union and his visit will
center attention on him in the
months building up to nomina
tion next year of a Republican
presidential candidate. The vice
president is regarded an un
announced bidder for the nomi
nation.
The United States and the So
viet Union last Dec. 29 signed an
agreement providing for an ex
change of national exhibits this
summer.

House Fire
PITTSBURGH (/P)—Despite the
rescue efforts of policemen, fire
men and bystanders, three
screaming children suffocated
yesterday when trapped by flames
and dense smoke in a two-story
frame house in Pittsburgh's East
End.
The dead are—Norvalle Jones,
3; and his brothers, Charles, 2;
and Vincent, 1.
The three-alarm fire broke out
late in the afternoon, apparently
in the second floor living quar
ters. It raged for an hour before
I firemen brought it under control.
A man who lives in the house
and two firemen were injured.
It was not learned immediately
where the children's parents
were.
Mr. and Mrs. John Jackson, who
live on the first floor, sounded
the alarm.
Another resident of the house,
John Baldwin, heard the children
scream and ran to a bedroom
where the children were.
He said the door was locked,
but he broke it down. A blast of
smoke and heat drove him from
the room.
The fire burned out the second
floor and attic. Firemen estimated
the damage at $lO,OOO.
Cause of the blaze was not de
termined immediately.

McSorley. who stands to gain
$33,000 in back if the Superior
Court decision stands, said he
had no comment on his future
plans. "No comment at all."
"I haven't the least idea what
his intentions are regarding
the commission post," said the
governor. "I haven't talked to
McSorley, but it has been my
general impression that he
would resign."
McSorley was suspended from
the commission in January, 1957,
by former Gov. George M. Leader
following a grand jury probe in
to alleged misconduct by various
persons in the commission.
During his trial, McSorley con

Improved Relations
Desired by Castro
WASHINGTON (W)—Fidel Castro said yesterday his
Cuban revolutionary government wants to improve relations
with the United States.
At the same time, the bearded

Castro spoke at a formal and,
private luncheon given in his,
honor by Acting Secretary of
State Christian A, Herter. Speak

his views in offering a toast to
President Eisenhower.
Herter, in offering a toast to
Castro's happiness, assured the
32-year-old Cuban leader that
the government and the people
I of the United States welcome
his unofficial 11-day visit.
At the Cuban Embassy earlier,
Castro criticized the foreign press
again for what he termed an "an
'ti-Cuba" campaign.
He said the matter of commun
ism in Cuba was not discussed
at the luncheon with Herter.
Asked to comment on com
munism, Castro declined. He
said he felt any replies to ques
tions of that nature should first
be given to the American So

In a political debate before the

MIAMI. Fie. (aP)—Taking a cue
from Fidel Castro's revolutionary
script, four of his enemies hi
jacked a Cuban domestic air
liner yesterday and forced its
pilot to fly them to Miami in
search of political asylum.
Nineteen passengers, including
five Americans, and three crew
men stepped out unharmed when
the twin-engine C4B landed at Mi
ami International Airport. The hi
jackers were grabbed by U.S.
border patrolmen.
The gunment, three of whom
claimed to have escaped from
Havana's La Cabana Fortress
while under threat of execution
by Castro's busy firing squads,
took command of the plane soon
after it left Havana bound for the
Isle of Pines, 100 miles southward.
With a pistol at his neck the
pilot, Capt. Candelario Delgado,
140, obeyed the order to set a new
course for Miami.
