LAKESIDE MYSTERY! HOW DID FIRE START? A lakeside cabin and an automobile burn near Tracy, after the automobile. caught fire, then rolled from where it wa.s parked to the side of the building.

Theories advanced as to why the car moved in reverse from its parking spot included: Intense heat might have expanded the reverse bands in the automobile's automatic transmission, or the vehicle might have been stopped in roverse gear and the heat might have shorted the starter and caused the car to roll on battery power. Just what started the fire in the first place remained a mystery. A Wirephoto. Peiping Radio tersely reported that Mao received India's V. K.

May 20 (AP) The Soviet air force got built up and then cut down today in a swift change of words by another U. S.

Air Force officer. Lt. Gen. Thomas S. Power, in a speech prepared for a Boston air power conference, said the Soviet Union now has the world's largest air force and "resources of man power and materiel we could not possibly match." Before delivering the speech, however, General Tower changed his tet to credit the tied with only "a large air force" and to say "the have impressive resoureae in man power and materiel," without stating that this country's couldn't match them.

The Russians suffered similar casualties yesterday when Brig. Gen. Woodbury M. Burgess was reprrted to have told a Detroit audience- "The Russian air force is currently at least as good as ours, possibly better." DISPUTED BY TWINING Gen. Natht.n F.

Twining, Air Force Chief of Staff, subsequently told nowsmen here that General "did not tell the truth" and had "exaggerated" in his speech. General Burgess said tnat he had been misquoted. Administration policy seemed to be asserting itself, since General Burgess" Detroit sta.emen's did not square exactly w'th President Eisenhower's assessment of the situation. At his nevs eon.erenee V. ednesday.

Mr. Eisenhower rejected any view that the United States has lost control of the air to Russia. "It is just not true," he said. General Burgess is chief of intelligence for the Continental Air Command. General Power commands the U.

S. Air Force Research Development- Command. A Pentagon spokesman said General Power did not change his speech at the request of Washington. A new admonishment to be, careful in speech-making went out to officers after the Burgess Incident, however, and General Power may have, been guided by this. He did not say.

TAKES OPTIMISTIC LINE Secretary of Defense Charles E. Wilson took an optimistic line. The Air Force expansion program, he is "well ahead" of the goal originally set. In his prepared text, Mr. Wilson made no rhention of official warnings that Russia is racing fast in air-nuclear armament.

In New York, Gen. Alfred M. Gruenther said the Red air force was "quite a long way behind ours" in long range bombers. The supreme commander of allied forces in Europe spoke at a West Point Society luncheon. Without namir0- the person to whom he referred.

General Gruenther said he did not agree with "a certain person of importance in the world" that we should reach agreement with Russia because her long-range air force soon may surpass America's. Another point of view came from Gen. Thomas D. White, vice chief of the Air Force, in an address prepared for a Pittsburgh audience. He said Russia still outnumbered the United States "in men, guns, tanks and planes." "Drunk" Thug In Hartwell Approximately $1000 was taken from a Hartwell cafe late last night by an armed robber, who entered the place feigning intoxication, and two conspirators already there as customers.

The scene of the robbery was the Mat-A-Loma Bar. 117 Hartwell Ave. The hulk of the money, $600 to $700. was on hand for cashing checks. The rest was removed from a rash register.

The of Mrs. Dee Ellison, 43, 123 Hunsford waa rifled and $10 and her door key were taken, she said. Rudy Weidmann, 29, a copro-prietor of the cafe, was tending bar. He said a man wearing a white T-shirt entered the cafe. The man walked to a rear washroom and returned, staggering as if intoxicated.

Ends Long Fight Over Unions' Health And Welfare Plan Road Assumes Full Cost Under Award Made By Arbitrator WASHINGTON, May 20 (UP) The nonoperating railroad brotherhoods signed a contract with the LN Railroad today giving the brotherhoods their first company financed health and welfare plan. The contract marked the end of a stormy dispute which precipitated the nation's second longest railroad strike. The agreement was recommended by arbitrator Francis Robertson who said the company should pay the full cost of the welfare plan. Both sides agreed in advance to accept his findings. The nonoperating brotherhoods have agreements for health and welfare plans financed on a 50-50 basis with all other major railroads.

They already have served notice on these railroads that they want them to assume the full cost of the plans. The contract agreement ends a two-year-long dispute with the that led to the eight-week strike longest rail strike since 1922 by 25,000 maintenance workers, track workers and other employees. MONTHLY COST 15.9.1 The had refused to go along with other major roads last year when they agreed on the national health and welfare plan. It objected mainly to the fact that the plan was mandatory for all nonoperating employees and to provisions for building up a fund "reserve." The 1.4 plan will cost the company 95 nn employee a month. The national plan has a total premium rost of $6.80 with the companies and the employees each contributing half.

The bulk of the difference in premiums goes into a reserve under the national plan. Except for the welfare plan, the contract is substantially the same as that signed with all other major roads last year. It provides for seven paid holidays and three weeks' vacation after 15 years, compared to the present two-week limit, and, incorporates 13 cents an hour in past cost of living pay increases into basic pay rates. The cost of living escalator clause was dropped from the contract. RAIL PICTURE BRIGHTER In his arbitration award, Mr.

Robertson noted that a presidential emergency board a year ago rejected a company-paid health and welfare fund in favor of a 50-50 system. He said the presidential board apparently "was influenced to some degree by the economic position of the carriers at that time and further by the c.ata available with respect to prevailing practices concerning health and welfare plans. "The evidence here Indicates that the doleful prediction with respert to railroad income for 1954 and for the reasonably foreseeable future, made by one of the chief carrier witnesses, fortunately was not realized." Mr. Robertson said. "The evidence here further shows that the picture for 1955 is considerably rosier, based upon the published statement of that same witness." It Happened Missouri Man Puts End To Egg Price Debate DAYTON, Ohio, May 20 (AP) That Minnesota farmer who complained the other day about the price of an egg sandwich here got an answer today from an egg farmer.

The senators said the coffee was 15 cents, and the egg that brought less than three cents back home came to 75 cents when placed between a couple of slices of bread in Dayton. Everett Reiter, co-manager of the airport restaurant, said today he received this postcard signed "Missouri Egg Farmer:" "Glad you charged Mr. Paul Hemp 75 rents for an egg sandwich.

Both Menon and Chou attended the Bandung Asian-African conference at which Chou said Red China would be willing to confer with the United States on "easing tension" in the Formosa Strait area. Nehru later said he was sending Menon to Peiping to deal further with topics brought up at the Ban-, dung conference. Earlier this week Peiping Radio said Chou had re. affirmed his offer but rejected any idea of discussing a cease-fire, about which the United States has expressed willingness to talk. Nehru later said he was sending Menon to Peiping to deal further with topics brought up at the Bandung conference.

The Mao-Menon conference yesterday followed by a day of talk between Chou and Sweden's ambassador to Moscow. Although Peiping said nothing about the purpose, it is known that some Scandinavian countries have undertaken a mediator role over proposed U. China negotiations. Yesterday a Tokyo newspaper, Mainichi, carried a report from two staff correspondents in New Delhi that India was trying to set up a five-nation truce committee to prevent hostilities in Formosa Strait. This unconfirmed report said India would like to head the truce committee, with the United States and Red China each picking two representatives.

It went on to say that Sweden would be one U. S. choice. Mainichi said it had learned authoritatively In New Delhi that Menon was proposing as one condition of a cease-fire that Chiang Kai-shek, Chinese Nationalist president on Formosa, waive rlaims on the mainland and withdraw from offshore islands. Chiang and his military leaders on Formosa have scoffed at similar suggestions in the past.

The latest reports from Chiang's stronghold underscored suspicion of a continuing Communist military buildup. Yesterday at Taipei, Gen. Wang Shut ming, chief of Nationalist China's air force, said the Chinese Reds have 800 combat planes within a 600-mile radius of Formosa. "Judging by the redeployment of Communist troops," Wang asserted, "we ran say thefr purpose is war not only against Formosa but the whole of Southeast Formosa and the Pescadores staged air raid drills yesterday and last night.

Since their inception on top secret drawingboards, these triangular structures have been referred to as Texas Towers, after the offshore oil drilling rigs in the Gulf of Mexico. Although a bottle of champagne was smashed against the prototype tower at the Quinry yard of the Bethlehem Steel the ceremony, in the strictest sense, was neither a christening nor a launching. Mrs.

John Ferry, wife of the Air Force special assistant for installations, dubbed the odd-looking structure "Texas Tower, Georges Bank."
