U.S. Attorney Will File
Complaints Against Two
Pilots to Collect Fines
WASHINGTON — The Fed
eral Aviation Agency has asked
Warren Colver, U.S. attorney at
Fairbangs to file complaints against
two fliers from whom the FAA has
been unable to collect fines.
The agency said it had been
unable to get a compromise settle
ment of a $1,000 fine it proposed
to impose on Eldon Staheli of Wien
Alaska Airlines, Kotzebue.
The FAA said that when Staheli
took off from the airport at Kot
jebue in a Twin Beechcraft last
July 7, there was a premature re
traction of the landing gear and
the airplane was damaged. The
agency said it found no technical
malfunction to account for the col
lapse, and considered the accident
caused by reckless or careless
operation of the plane.
The FAA also asked Colver to
act against Richard Galleher, pilot
in command of an Aero Command
er on a flight from Nome to Gam
bell, last July 6.
The agency said Galleher permit
ted two obviously intoxicated pas
sengers to board the plane in vio
lation of regulations. The FAA pro
posed to fine Galleher $200.

Birthday Party for the Young in Heart
■ I r
Count backwards or omit the candles—when you’re young
in heart, the years don’t matter but the special day does. Each
birthday is a milestone—an occasion that should be marked

you—celebrate the event with a party. .... -
On a budget, a gala party is also possible with a birthday
cake and a festive wine punch made with California Sherry
and fruit juices. California’s delicious dessert Sherry will keep

African Students
Say Bulgaria Guilt')
Of Discrimination
By Hans Benedict
i VIENNA, Austria UP) — Back
firing of Communist Bulgaria’s ex
periment in education of African
1 youths took on proportions of an
explosion Saturday.
Six Ethiopian students fled Sofia,
as 20 Ghanaians did Friday. Bri
. tain announced its legation in Sofia
I is helping in arrangements for a
i group of Nigerian students to leave.
Hundreds of other young Afri
I cans, disenchanted by their treat
ment in the Red Balkan nation,
were reported deterred only by
lack of funds from joining the
exodus.
Robert Kotey, 25, one of the
20 Ghanaians who flew to Amster
dam, Netherlands, said, “We de
clare categorically that the Bul
garian regime is guilty of racial
discrimination.
“If the others haven’t left yet,
then they have been unable to do
so. Only we Ghanaians have a mis
sion in Sofia, whereas the others
have to try to reach their missions
in other East bloc countries. This
takes time and effort.”
The Ethiopians flew to Belgrade,
Yugoslavia, and consulted with
the Ethiopian Ambassador, Petras
Sahlon.
Sahlon said one other Ethiopian
student was among seven Africans
arrested by Bulgarian police last
Monday as leaders of an organiza
tion the Bulgarian Communists had
banned, the All-African Students
Union. He said he did not know
the prisoners’ whereabouts.
Some students were beaten by
Bulgarian police and militiamen
when the students staged a parade
Tuesday protesting the arrests.
The Bulgarian government
charged Friday night Ghana youths
were the chief trouble-makers.
Kotey denied this in an inter
view.
He said all had been affected
by “racial discrimination, political
pressure, abuses and other un
pleasant things.”
The Ghanaians expected to head
to Bonn, West Germany, where
they will try to continue their
studies.
Told that the U.S. government
was considering ways to help the
Africans by arranging facilities for
them in the West, Kotey said, “we
would be happy to get an oppor
tunity to study in the United States
or in any other Western country.”
Students said that during a year
of study in Bulgaria they were in
! suited on the streets and fed a
heavy diet of Communist doctrine
in the classroom.
“Whoever among us had leftist
leanings has been cured,” Kotey
told newsmen.

Runs Into a Crossfire
WASHINGTON — Presiden
Kennedy’s tax program has rui
into a fresh crossfire of criticisn
from a labor leader and a tof
House Republican.
AFL-CIO vice president Waltei
Reuther, proposed his own $1.5C
per week tax cut program in a
news conference Friday, said Ken
nedy’s “medicine is not strong
enough and his doses are too little
and too late.”
House Republican Leslie Arends
of Illinois said in a statement that
opposition to the President’s pro
gram “is not to a tax cut but
to a tax cut without a reduction
in government spending.”
Reuther said he believes Ken
nedy wants an immediate increase
in buying power but is being “un
duly influenced by the negative
attitude of Congress.”
Instead of the three-year pro
gram with a net tax reduction of
$10.2 billion which Kennedy pro
posed, Reuther offered one which
