NEW AIR FACILITIES VOTED BY COMMITTEE WAiSHlNGTON—The House armed services committee ha-s ten¬ tatively approved Air Force plans for »20,634,000 in new construction work at bases in eight states.

All committee actions are tentative until tbe committee finally approves the whole progiram. as amended. "If it (the UN attack) was in¬ tended to go far afield and deep in, then it would be my view that yould encounter opposition" from some UN governments, Ridgway testified. At Closed Session The general testified at a closed session of the oommittee on Wednesday. A heavily-cen¬ sored transcript of hia testimony was released Saturday with de¬ letions made for security reasons. If Ridgway was asked for or gava an opinion on i^hether a drive to Manchuria might touch off World War Ht, it was de leted from the testimony made public. This danger has 'been advanced by this government In the past as ona reason for fail¬ ure ever to bomb Manchurian supply bases whioh feed war ma¬ terials to Communist troopa In North Korea.

Battle 12,000 Over Labor Head's Arrest JOHANNESBURG, South Africa—Police battled 12,000 hys¬ terical screaming South Africans —mostly women- rioting over the arrest of a leftist labor leader on Saturday, and 56 persons were taken to hospitals. The riot broke out when the mob gathered outside the Jo¬ hannesburg City Hall to protest the arrest of Solly Sachs, the left- wing secretary of the South African Garment Workers' Union. Defied Government Sachs was accused of defying a government ban on his activities. He was released a few houre after the bloody disorders had been halted, and was to appear in court Monday on charges of violating the two-year-old anti- Communist laws, which Prime Minister Daniel F. Malan invoked recently to crack down on anti- government leaders. Fifteen police and 41 other per¬ sons—34 ot them Negroes or half- castes—suffered cuts and bruises when police broke up the howling protest demonstration. Police dragged Sachs up the steps of aty Hall through a bar¬ rage of bottlas and sticks and past screeching women who snatched at their union leader in a futile effort to rescue him. Strike Gall Issued The union immediately issued a strike call, effective Tuesday, and said it win remain in force "until we get Sachs back." Moet of yaa- terdays demonstrators were members of the union. Sachs had defied a govomment order issued under the Suppraa- sion of Omimunism Aot by ad¬ dressing a public meeting and continuing in office. Brigadier J. C. Kriek, deputy commiMioner of the Witwater- srand police, said. "I took the de¬ cision of arrest as my own i sponalMlity. Wo expeotod trouble and we were ready."

NEW TORK — The champion goldfish swallowM- of tha 1930'a who grew up to be a achool teach¬ er, said yeaterday tha college panty-enatohing erase la the "sil Iiest" thing he ever heard of and ought to be stopped.
"It's going too far," said <3or don Southworth, now a mature 34 and a teacher at a private boys' school here.
"Theae panty raids are sensual¬ ism and pretty stupid stunts."
On March 81, 1939 Southworth climaxed the goldfish gulping, which was the national cnmpus craze of Its day, by downing 67 of the finny fellows at Waltham, Mass.

"If it (the UN attack) was in¬ tended to go far afield and deep in, then it would be my view that yould encounter opposition" from some UN governments, Ridgway testified. At Closed Session
The general testified at a closed session of the oommittee on Wednesday. A heavily-cen¬ sored transcript of hia testimony was released Saturday with de¬ letions made for security reasons.
If Ridgway was asked for or gava an opinion on i^hether a drive to Manchuria might touch off World War Ht, it was de leted from the testimony made public. This danger has 'been advanced by this government In the past as ona reason for fail¬ ure ever to bomb Manchurian supply bases whioh feed war ma¬ terials to Communist troopa In North Korea.

Battle 12,000 Over Labor Head's Arrest
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa—Police battled 12,000 hys¬ terical screaming South Africans —mostly women- rioting over the arrest of a leftist labor leader on Saturday, and 56 persons were taken to hospitals.
The riot broke out when the mob gathered outside the Jo¬ hannesburg City Hall to protest the arrest of Solly Sachs, the left- wing secretary of the South African Garment Workers' Union. Defied Government
Sachs was accused of defying a government ban on his activities.
He was released a few houre after the bloody disorders had been halted, and was to appear in court Monday on charges of violating the two-year-old anti- Communist laws, which Prime Minister Daniel F. Malan invoked recently to crack down on anti- government leaders.
Fifteen police and 41 other per¬ sons—34 ot them Negroes or half-
castes—suffered cuts and bruises when police broke up the howling protest demonstration.
Police dragged Sachs up the steps of aty Hall through a bar¬ rage of bottlas and sticks and past screeching women who snatched at their union leader in a futile effort to rescue him. Strike Gall Issued
The union immediately issued a strike call, effective Tuesday, and said it win remain in force "until we get Sachs back." Moet of yaa- terdays demonstrators were members of the union.
Sachs had defied a govomment order issued under the Suppraa- sion of Omimunism Aot by ad¬ dressing a public meeting and continuing in office.
Brigadier J. C. Kriek, deputy commiMioner of the Witwater- srand police, said. "I took the de¬ cision of arrest as my own i sponalMlity. Wo expeotod trouble and we were ready."
