'ederal Aid Requested
"y Governor Furcola
I
3OSTON ()P-Gov. Foster Furcola yesterday declared an emer-
in Massachusetts because 'of the drought and appealed to
dent Dwight D. Eisenhower for federal aid for farmers.
'hese developments coincided with the first substantial rain in
eastern Ma'ssachusetts and Rhode Island since mid-April.
'he rain fell a day after Furcola had designated yesterday as a
of prayer for rain."
'urcola asked the President to declare Massachusetts a major
er area so farmers would be entitled to get federal assistance.,
'he governor signed the emergency proclamation on the unani-
recommendation of the State Weather Amendment Board, which
about not permitting Communists
to study in America," he said,
"and Russian students would ne-
cessarily be such.
"For example, the Soviet has
taken a firm position that their
citizens may not be fingerprinted
-as required under visa regula-
tions, he said.
'Top Government Policy'
"In this- impasse, I feel it would
be- futile for us to initiate any ac-
tion at this time. It is too much a
matter of top government policy,"
he explained.
"As for our students wishing to
go to schools in Russia, that is a
private matter," he commented.
"The University does not spon-
sor any student abroad, except in
specific programs which do not,
apply in this instance,"he said,

Note Likely
WASHINGTON (IP)-The State
Department yesterday challenged
Soviet Party Boss Nikita Krhush-
chev to make a specific formal
proposal for exchanging Soviet
and American students "and let
us have a look at it.",
State Department press officer
Lincoln White made the statement
at a news conference in comment
on Khrushchev's informal remarks
Thursday to a group of American
tourists in Moscow.
Khrushchev suggested "several
hundred" Soviet and American
students could be exchanged.
He boasted, in effect, that the
Russians were not -afraid Soviet
students would be weaned away
from Communism by any lengthy
stay in America-but that the re-
verse might happen to Americans.
309 Killed
On Kyusho
By Floods
32 Inches of Rain
Falls in 24 Hours
TOKYO ( - National police
today counted 309 dead and 97,000
homeless in floods on the southern
island of Kyushu.
Light drizzles added to the mis-
ery of the thousands driven to
high ground after 32 inches of rain
fell in 24 hours.
Normal rainfall is 88 inches in
a year.
Police listed 125 injured and 287
missing.
Police and Japanese coast guard
boats, planes and jeeps rescued
victims and picked up bodies.
U. S. To Rescue
Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi
summoned Japan's central disas-
ter relief council to plan large-
scale aid.
Japanese and United States
agencies sped food and clothing
to the ravaged area. The United
States Navy sent medical supplies.
United States Air Force helicop-
ters met the planes at Itazuke Air-
port near Fukuoka and ferried the
relief supplies to the battered ci-
ties of western Kyushu.
Ishaya and Omura are in the
Nagasaki area of Kyushu, Japan's
southernmost island.
Nagasaki, one of the two atom-
bombed cities of World War II, es-
caped flood damage caused by one
of the heaviest rainfalls ever re-
corded in Japan in a 24-hour peri-
od.
Made Into a Sea
One observer said Ishaya looked
as though it had been transformed
into a sea with only a few high
points and roofs visible above the
waters.
"It seemed like someone had
dumped the contents of a lake on
us from a giant barrel," said the
survivor.
A' 2-year-old girl picked up 15
miles from the coastline clinging
to a piece of lumber said: "I don't
remember anything except that
the water snatched me away all
of a sudden."
Among the dead were victims
of landslides.
Earth Loosened
Ninety were missing at Kuma-
moto, about 50 miles from Omura,
in a landslide that buried 15
homes.,
Earth loosened by the rainfall
blocked roads throughout the area
and ripped down telephone poles.
Rail lines were so extensively
crippled officials said it would be
two weeks before service could be
restored.

Of 'Improper Use' of Funds
WASHINGTON (P) - Three
Democratic senators proposed yes-
terday that the civil rights bill be
amended to guarantee jury trials
for all types of criminal contempt,
including labor cases.
' The broad new amendment was
offered by Sen. Joseph O'Mahoney,
(Wyo.), Sen. Estes Kefauver
(Tend.) and Sen. Frank Church
(Idaho).
They were promptly congratu-
lated by Sen. Richard Russell (D-
Ga.) on their "attempt to preserve
the right of trial by jury."
Sen. Russell hadI served notice
earlier in the day that Southern
senators would filibuster unless the
civil rights bill is softened by a
jury trial amendment.
In effect, the new amendment
woul revise the general law gov-
erning contempt-of-court cases.
Sen. Kefauver described it as "a
great advance of civil liberties be-
great advance of civil liberties
because, as now presented, this
amendment does not apply to this
bill alone."

'Double Stars'
Talk Given,
By Mitchell
Prof. Walter Mitkhell Jr. of
Brown University said double stars
constituted "probably one-half" of'
all the stars in the sky in a lec-
ture at the Department of As-
tronomy's Visitor's Night, last
aight.
Prof. Mitchell stated that "dou-
ble stars" was an "enormous" field
of astronomy. He defined double
stars as any two stars close to-
gether in the observer's field of
vision.
Binary stars, or double stars
which are related in- a definite
physical manner, are of primary
importance to astronomers.
Development of modern theories
concerning binary stars began in
1800, when Sir William Hershell
became convinced that a pair of
stars were moving about oie an-
other._
Prof. Mitchell pointed out that
from expansion of Hershell's ob-

MANAMA, Bahrain () - Brit-
ish jet planes yesterday poured
rocket fire. on an apparently de-
serted fort at Tanur, seven miles
from the Rebel Oani headquarters
at Nizwa.
It was the third day of strikes
at the Oman rebels.
The RAF said it will step up at-
tacks until the rebels surrender.
The rocket - shooting Venom
fighters, took off from the RAF
base at 'Sharja, in nearby Trucial
Oman, following up. attacks
Thursday on rebel barracks at
Nizwa.
The wave of assaults began
Wednesday.
The air campaign is the, only
way that Britain now can aid the-
pro-British Sultan of Muscat and
Oman whose reign is menaced by
his 01 dfoe, the Imam Ghaleb ben
Ali. The Imam is trying to set up
an independent sultanate.
The British have 25 planes at
Sharja massed to keep up the at-.
tacks. Two companies of desert
troops flown in from Kenya also
are now at the air base.
, Britain has valuable oil proper-
ties in the area.
Thursday, British Foreign Sec-
retary spoke out against the rebels.
He alseo indicated that adequate
warning was given of Thursday's
bombing.
TV, Piano
However, nearly half the total
involved-$62,000-was attributed
to purchase of luxury homes and
equipping them with air-condi-
tioning, plus a ATV set and piano
for Klenert's. All this was an old
story, explored thoroughly before,
Klenert has been credited with
repaying some $33,000 and Valente
$24,000 of.union money used to
buy their homes in a Washington
suburb.;
The part of the story unfolded
in detail today was that Valente
put an additional $2,442 of the
union ,money to personal use and
Glenert $68,963, 'with Klenert
alone signing the union checks
which paid the bills.
All told, therefore, Klenert stood
accused of 'milking the~ union of
$101,963 and Valente of misusing
$26,442.
The Senate investigation has re-
ceived considerable criticism by,
union leaders,
