Pilot Drops Cas Tanks On Brooklyn Streets
NEW YORK m—A Navy jet pilot dropped two fuel tanks, one filled with gasoline, on Brooklyn streets yesterday when his plane developed trouble. No one was injured by the plummeting tanks.
Both tanks burst when they landed in the streets and spread highly inflammable fuel over a wide area. It did not burn, however.
Ihe pilot, Lt. Gust Tassy of Buffalo, N. Y., told naval au¬ thorities the left wing tank had not fed properly and re¬ mained   full   while   the   right
lank emptied and unbalanced thc  plane.
"The plane flipped over on ils back" when he turned for an approach to Floyd Bennett Field, Long Island, he said. "The only alternative was to jettison the tanks. I tried to unload in the bay but didn't make it.'
Tassy, 38-year-old World War 2 pilot, made a normal landing at the field affer re¬ leasing the tanks. He was on a routine Iraining flight from Niagara Falls. N. Y., when the trouble occurred.

British Official in Rhubarb With Texan Over Sinkings
LONDON (in — A brilLsh government official got into a long-range rhubarb with a Texas oilman yestiT<,lay over Egyptian President Gamal Ab¬ del Nasser.
Lord Mancroft, parliamen¬ tary undersecretary of state to "the home office told an audience in Worcester yes¬ terday that "a prominent oil gentleman from Texas" had expressed regret that "his friend" Nasser had not sunk 10 times as many ships in the  Suez Canal
Some British quarters have accused Texas oil firms of capitalizing on the oil crisis cau.sed by the canal blockade at the expense of Britain.
Mancroft identified the Tex¬ an as "Howard Nichols."
In Tyler, Texas, independent Oil   operator   H.   P.   Nichols
said the British had bargled some remarks attributed to him "to their complete satisfac¬ tion."
Mancroft said Nichols' "re¬ velation" about Nasser "tends to throw doubt over the nSw American policy in the Mid¬ dle East."
Nichols said the British twisted remarks which an American news magazine Time attributed to him.
He said his remark that Nasser was "his friend" was only an attempt to humor. "One thing the British can't seem to take is a joke," Nichols said.
"The idea of Texas oilmen making the British people do without gasoline is ridicu¬ lous."
"Britain just doesn't hava the dollars to buy it."

Then he said he bundled the dying baby and his four other children into the family car, and drove around aimlessly m frigid weather for hours before his aulo lodged in a snowdrift.
Police officers hustled the children off to Westlake Hospi¬ tal and took Glenn, who was re¬ ported babbling incoherently, to fhe police station for question¬ ing
Hospital attendants removed the baby's snowsuit and found that he had been slashed in the abdomen. About 10 minutes after his arrival at the hospital the baby died on an operating table.
Policemen Sam Gibellina and Roy Ross were startled when one of the children in the car, Martha, six, said: "Mommv's dead at home. Daddy shot her Wednesday   night."
The youngster told authorities her parents argued when her mother said "daddy should go back to the mental hospital." Glenn, police said, later revealed he had been an inmate of Elgin, III.. State Mental Hospital.
Caliendo said Martha added that her father later took a rifle and shot their mother in the head while she slept.
Melrose Park police notified Chicago authorities, who found Mrs. Glenn's body on a cot in Iheir North Side home. She h^id been shot three times in the head with a'.22-caliber rifle.

Administration spokesmen al ready have indicated the new budget calls for no tax reduc¬ tions. And it has been an¬ nounced th* White House is giving high priority to a bill to extend present excise and cor¬ porate tax rates which are scheduled fo decrease April 1 under existing law.
However, some key members of Congress believe Mr. Eisen¬ hower is still considering a rec¬ ommendation to provide tax re¬ lief for small business. They be¬ lieve fhis mieht be included in the budget messaee or made later if fhe tax burden, plus tight credit, should cause grow¬ ing distress among small busi¬ nessmen.

William Allen 1 undy. one of three veterans left from the rolls of Manassas, Sharps- burg. Chancellorsville and Peachtree Creek, feels no bit¬ terness  toward   fhe  Yankees.
But he asserted fhe U. S. Supreme Court decisions against Southern traditions of racial separation are "the worst thing that has hap¬ pened fo the Soulh since the Civil   War."
"II would have been bet¬ ter if the South had won the war." fhe old graybeard said, squinting through eyes still able  to see  without  glasses.

"The colored folks would have been free by this time anyway."
"No one should be a slave, but it was a helluva way the Yankees went about 'reeing them. I don't liave any bit¬ terness  though "'
