ALEUTIAN ZTKA ISLANDS MILES AMCHITKA W STATE - Map of Alaska, soon to be the 49th state in the Union, shows close proximity to ssia, one of the points of discussion during Senate debate. Some Senators objected to statehood the grounds that Alaska was too close to the Soviet Union, constituted a national defense hazard, empts to send the statehood bill to the Armeed Services Committee failed. HAVANA (A) - Fidel Castro's rebels kidnaped two more Ameri- cans yesterday, bringing the total held by the insurgents in eastern" Cuba to 41 Am1ericans and three Canadians. With the seizure of the two men, there are now at least 65{ Americans being held against theirt will in various parts of the world. Rebels Near Capital City c InLebanonl BEIRUT, Lebanon UP) - Gov- ernment forces and mountain tribesmen fought a see-saw battle in the hills overlooking Beirut yesterday after the rebels drove closer to the capital tlan ever before. Followers of young rebel leader, Kamal Jumblatt made a. surprise dawn push , into hills between Chemlan and Kayfoun, only five miles for Beirut International Airport. Government forces counterat- tacked with Jet planes, armored cars and artillery, The rebels fell back from two hills. Driven Back Rebels on another hill swept across the valley in an attempt to relieve their comrades. They were driven back. Irregulars helping the security forces blocked roads and ap- proaches to Kayfound and Chem- lan to choke off the rebel advance. Security forces claimed they suffered no casualties. They said many rebels were killed. The size of the attacking force was not given. Cantrols Large Area Jumblatt, leader of the Progres- sive Socialist political organiza- tior;, controls a large area south and east of Beirut. His followers are largely Druse tribesmen. The rebels fired only small arms. They were too far away to fire on the airport. An Arab studies center, oper- ated in Chemlan by the British Foreign Office, was evacuated. A British Embassy spokesman said Jumblatt had warned he planned to attack the town. Castro's rebels have 41 of the prisoners, according to the latest State Department figures. Communists Hold Rest The other 22 are being detained in Communist countries - nine each in Soviet Armenia and East German and four in Red China. The latest strike in Castro's, campaign to draw attention to his sputtering rebellion was carried out by eight rebels, the United States Embassy said. United States Consul Park Wol- lam was in contact with the rebels. Castro's campaign of kidnapings served to put him back before the' eyes of the world, after the col- lapse of his big offensive to topple President Fulgencio Batista last spring. Charge Bombing Specifically, they charge that Cuban warplanes bombing their Oriente province hideouts were us- ing Guantanamo as a fueling base. The United States government has denied this. Sen. Styles Bridges (R-N.H.), who introduced a resolution a week ago asking Congress to pro- test against the detention of the nine United States airmen forced down in East Germany June 7, told the Senate yesterday, "An example of what happens when we display weakness is the kidnapping- of American citizens by the Cuban rebels." In addition to the nine United States airmen held in East Ger- many, another crew of nine was forced down in a transport plane in Soviet Armenia Friday. Am- bassador Llewellyn E. Thompson Jr. yesterday asked the Soviet foreign ministry in Moscow that they be released immediately. The United States has been ne- gotiating for years for the release of the four Americans in Com- munist China. Yesterday, Washington rejected what it described as an ultimatum by Red China that the United States name an ambassador with- talks, or break them off. The in 15 days for resumption of the negotiations, held in Geneva, were suspended last Dec. 12. sreat Land, Once Russian, High Court Voiees RefusalI To Rule on Appeal WASHINGTON (M)-The Supreme Court refused yesterday to shortcut usual procedures and rule directly and promptly on an appeal from an order suspending desegregation in Little Rock. But in so doing, the court said it was sure the United States Court of Appeals in St. Louis would act on the appeals "in ample time to permit arrangements to be made for the next school year." In another unanimous action yesterday, the Court struck down a $100,000 fine levied against the National Association for the Advance- eveloped a. U.S. Property I 4, ... JUNEAU, Alaska ( -P - Here's capsule look at Alaska, now eared for admission to the Union the 49th state: Alaska, which means "The Great and," was discovered in 1741 by ussian explorers, who founded! e towns of Kodiak; Sitka and rangell and established the ea's first industry-fur trading. The original inhabitants, whose scendents now number about 000 United States citizens, were dians, Aleuts and Eskimos. They e believed to have migrated ross an extinct land bridge from beria and Asia. Purchased from Russia I The United States purchased aska from Russia in 1867 for 2 million dollars. The great laska salmon and gold mining in- astries developed under United Cates possession. Alaska covers 886,400 squareI Wles and is 2% times as large as Texas. Its coastline of 33,904 miles exceeds the combined coastline of{ the entire United States. The 2,000-mile-long Yukon is Alaska's greatest river, and its tallest mountain is Mt. McKinley, at 20,300 feet, the highest in North America. Glaciers cover 18,000 square miles, and the biggest-the Malispina Glacier off the Gulf of Alaska near Yakutat-is said to be the largest in the world. Not All Ice Alaska is not a land of ice and snow, although there are plenty of both in the big territory. The climate in the southeastern pan- handle is mild, both winter and summer. At Juneau, the capital, tempera-' tures usually are in the 20s in winter and in the 70s in summer, with rainfall averaging about 90 .inches a year. At Anchorage, the largest city, winters. compare with Chicago, and summers usually are dry with temperatures in the high, 70s or low 80s: Temperature Varies Fairbanks, the northern - most metropolis, has weather ecXtremes -with the mercury dipping to 60! and 70 degrees- below zero during the long winter and temperatures up-to 95 degrees during short, hot summers.

Jones imposed the fine in Montgomery June 1, 1956, on the ground the NAACP was in contempt of court for failing to comply with an order for production of a list of its members. The judge also barred] the NAACP from doing business in Alabama. Speaking for the Court, Judge Harlan said the order for produc- tion of the membership list "must be regarded as entailing a sub-] stantial restraint upon the exer- cise by petitioner's NAACP mem- bers of their right to freedom of association." The order suspending desegre- gation in Little Rock for 21/2 years --until January 1961-was issued June 21 by United States District Judge Harry J. Lemley.

TO Operate WASHINGTON (A-Federal tax collectors are preparing a new crackdown on businessmen who pocket taxes withheld from their employes' pay. Starting today, any employer who ignores the withholding tax laws will be liable to ,a sentence of up to a year in jail and a $5,000 fine. Heretofore the Internal; Reve- nue Service has been able only to attack business assets to satisfy claims for delinquent withholding taxes. Of 4.4 million businesses' that withhold taxes for the government, 377,253 were delinquent to the extent of nearly 301 million dollars in 1957. This was an increase from 356,748 in 1956, when delinquen- cies totaled 279 million dollars. Officials said almost all delin- quents were small businessmen. They said few if any really large firms run afoul of the withholding tax regulations, In addition to providing criminal penalties, the new law provides that a businessmen who ignores warnings can be required to de- posit taxes within two banking days after withholding them. /., S.Debt's al Rises The turnof _the fiscal year at idnight yesterday found Uncle am with his income down, his ending up and his total debt caded toward the highest figure history, More and bigger deficit spend-I ,g. loomed ahead for fiscal 1959,, 1nging with it new inflationary essure and damaging prospects r a substantial tax relief next mr or soon thereafter.I I a few weeks, the administra- n will ask Congress to boost the ,deral debt ceiling for the' second ne this session.
