Hudson, N.Y.—Slender girders of steel suspended from a
hovering helicopter have been providing a daily drama along
the banks of the Hudson, just south of this city.
*v nen giant cranes mtea steel
sections to a towering: 200 feet,
the task grew too difficult for
ordinary methods. So a Sikorsky
helicopter was brought to com
plete it.
From a nearby loading area,
the aircraft ferried sections to
the tower top, over 300 feet
above ground. Linemen, barely
visible from the ground and
held by safety belts, rammed
home fastening bolts as the
’copter pinpointed the sections
into place. It was a daredevil
job worthy of a circus perfor
mance.
The project, built by Niagara
Mohawk Power Corporation, is
part of a 345,000-volt transmis
sion line extending from
Niagara Falls to New York
City. The whole unit is a seg
ment in a vast transmission
\ network interconnecting power
| lines throughout Northeast
I United States.

Japanese Industry
Invited to Kxpand
Onto U.S. Soil
TOKYO ^ — Tlie Kennedy ad
ministration has invited Japanese
industry to expand onto American
soil, hut the prospect of any takers
appears slim.
A high ranking U.S. Embassy
official confirmed yesterday that
a suggestion that Japanese invest
in building factories in the United
States was forwarded “scvaral
months ago" to the Japanese
Foreign Ministry. He said no re
sponse has yet been made.
The American official said the
suggestion was contained in a
“communication which called at
tention to the possibilities of at
tractive investment in the states.”
The move is part of a broad
campaign to lure investment capi
tal from all the industrialized coun
tries to the United States. Secretary
of Commerce Luther Hodges last
year set up an office devoted ex
; clusively to attempting to attract
j foreign capital.
In the background is the per
sistent deficit in the U.S. balance
of payments, which sees more
money leave the United States each
year than goes in. If Europeans
and the Japanese send over funds
to build factories these investments
would reduce the payments deficit.
The Foreign Ministry said the
matter had to be studied by vari
ous ministries as well as business
circles before a position is taken.
Japan, to hold overseas markets,
has expanded into Southeast Asia,
and Latin America, but there has
been no indication it needs Amer
ican plants to maintain its $1.5 bil
lion export business to the United
States.
The only sizeable Japanese
manufacturing venture in the Unit
ed States is the Alaska Pulp Co.,
a government-backed firm that
operates a mill at Sitka, Alaska.

GUN BATTLE BREAKS
OUT ON ALGERIA'S
FIRST INDEPENDENCE DAY
ALGIERS OP - A violent gun
battle in the heart of Oran’s Eu
ropean city yesterday shattered
Algeria's celebration of its first
official indendence holiday.
More than 100 dead and wound
ed were reported in the first hour
of the fighting, which swept the
former stronghold of European
Secret Army Organization terror
ists.
Two hours after the fighting j
started, gunfire still rattled over ;
the city.
The gunfire panicked tens of i
thousands of Moslems in the midst j
of a delirious celebration. An offi- j
cial of the city’s main hospital ;
said all the casualties taken there J
were Moslems. But a number of j
I Europeans also were killed or ;
| wounded.
A Moslem policeman said the j
firing came from holdout terrorists |
of the European Secret Army, :
whose leaders had bowed to Al
gerian independence after months
of murder and arson.
The Oran violence, first since
Algeria became formally independ- I
ent Tuesday, erupted against a !
! back drop of a power struggle for
leadership of the new-born nation.
In Algiers, Nationalist Premier j
Youssef Ben Khedda took the
salute from 500 battle-hardened j
Algerian guerrillas. But the mili- !
tary show underscored the shaky
position of Ben Khedda’s moderate
regime. I

A STIFF SHOT . . .
LONDON (/Pi — Charlie Walther’s
: anti-liquor crusade so peeved his
, fellow club members they laced
| his orange .juice with a stiff shot
of alcohol.
That was how, a court was told
Wednesday, Walther came to be
nabbed drunk at the wheel of his
car.
Walther’s lawyer said Charlie's
zealous anti-drink campaign had
annoyed other members of a politi
cal club in suburban Sydenham.
One night when he temporarily
left the clubroom someone poured
booze into his soft drink.
The judge fined Walther $58.80.
