(Story on Page 1) (Waterville GOP Would OK Gas Bill With Changes WASHINGTON, May 7 (P)- -The Eisenhower administration said today it favors the new HarrisO'Hara natural gas bill-provided two changes are made to tighten the prescribed federal supervision over prices. Rep. Harris (D-Ark), coauthor the bill with Rep.

O'Hara (R- Minn) and chairman of the House Commerce Committee, promptly indicated his concern over the administration provisos. Those two changes, Harris said, are "more than minor" and actually go "pretty. much the heart of the whole question." to, The developments came at Commerce Committee hearings starting another congressional goround on legislation involving federal price control over natural gas that independent producers sell into interstate commerce. MAY FACE FIGHT Harris said after, testimony from Charles H. Kendall, Office of Defense 'Mobilization general counsel who presented the administration view, that the new bill may face some tough going in Congress.

That would add to the alreadytangled history of the legislation over the years. President Eisenlast year commended the general aims of a bill, Congress passed to free gas producers from direct federal price control, but vetoed the measure after criticizring what he called "arrogant" lobbying tactics in connection with it. Harris said the new bill is designed to lift "burdens" off gas ing producers Federal and Power the price Commission "without weakening the protection essential to the consumer." Under the bill, he said, FPC could set a "reasonable market price" and void any new producer contract which provides for selling above that price. The bill also makes clear that the "reasonable market price" is not to he based on producer cost as is done in regulating utility prices, A he said. Kendall praised Harris-O'Hara bill provisions which he said "go far to assure a check upon price increases which might be unfair to the ultimate consumer." CHANGES SOUGHT The administration spokesman said the bill "would be in accord with the program of the President" if it includes these two changes: That the ban against FPC considering costs in setting the reasonable market price be stricken from the bill.

2. That the FPC retain authority under the bill to review price increases stemming from definite pricing clauses in already existing contracts, when price rises do anything more than just reflect added taxes. FPC Chairman Jerome K. Kuykendall asked for early passage of the type of legislation proposed. He said the FPC "favors the basic principles and objectives of this bill and believes that such legislation is necessary for pra ticable, workable and efficient regulation of gas producers in the national interest." 100 Yugoslavs Seek To Stay In Germany NUERNBERG, Germany, May 7 -More than 100 Yugoslav visitors to the International Industries Fair at Hannover have -n- nounced their intention to seek political asylum in West Germany.

But it is doubtful if many will be admitted. Officials at the federal refugee camp here said today 56 Yugoslavs have arrived and filed applications for asylum, while 50 others are on their way or already have contacted German authorities in Hannover. The Yugoslavs include both exhibitors and buyers. Officials said they understood the Yugoslavs were dissatisfied with economic conditions in their Communist-ruled country. They hinted that most of them will not be granted political asylum.

Under German law, political refugees must furnish evidence that they were persecuted. $75,000 Fire Damages Connecticut Mansion GREENWICH, May 7 (AP) Fire raged out of control for two hours in a 20-room house today causing damage estimated by firemen at $75,000.

Nineteen woods and grass fires, the largest covering 250 acres, were reported in Maine today as the fire. hazard continued to mount. Forest Comr. Albert D.

Nutting said that "what happens in next two or three days, and the weather forecast beyond that, will determine what we do" on the question of closing Maine woods to the public. His deputy, H. Wilkins, said danger "increased tremendously" today because of winds reaching 25 to 30 miles an hour in the open. FOURTEEN of the 43 warden stations reported danger in exclass 5, compared to 11 yesterday. All the rest, reported very dangerous class 4 conditions, Wilkins said.

Maine is the only New England state whose woods remain open. New York state woods also have been closed. Nutting noted that most of today's and other recent' fires have started outside wooded areas and in such cases 8 woods Tear Gas Ends Bismarck, N.D., Prison Riot BISMARCK, N. May 7 (P)- More than 200 inmates, armed with axes and an acetylene torch, barricaded themselves inside the Dakota State Penitentiary cell block today, but officers broke the revolt by driving the convicts back into their cells with tear gas. The uprising, which started during a smoking "break" this morning, ended five hours later when city police filled the cell block with the choking gas.

No one was injured. The tear gas attack came after Warden Oscar J. Nygaard returned to Bismarck from Jamestown, 100. miles east of here, and when a count assured guards that no prison personnel were held as hostages. The entire prison population of 220 inmates began the demonstration outside the twine factory in a protest over food, recreation and some guards.

Refusing to reenter: the factory, the inmates went into the cell block, but would not go into their individual cells. Convicts broke into a commissary storeroom. They took everything AXS and began smashing in sight, it was reported. The acetylene torch was not put into use, however. Guards fired several shots at the prison walls, but apparently only for effect.

Prisoners talking through barred windows told newsmen they were demanding to see either Warden Nygaard, Gov. John Davis or Atty. Gen. Leslie Burgum, Gov. Davis, at Minot, 120 miles north of here, said he would take no action pending the return of the warden.

Nygaard returned from Jamestown after he was notified of the revolt. One prisoner told a newsman the trouble started after a guard "threw a man in the hole." Asked why he thought the prisoners revolted, the guard, Tom W. Wrangum, said, "I threw a man in the hole confinement yesterday," but answered no further questions. Deputy Warden Mike Ryan, a 30-year veteran at the institution, was in charge prior to the warden's return. ban would be ineffective.

Five of today's fires in dumps and several others were caused by debris burning, he said. "All we can do to prevent such fires is to ask people to be particularly careful," he said. So far, public cooperation has been excellent, he added. A FIRE at Southwest Harbor threatened for a time the home of school principal Bernard Johnson. His family packed to flee, but the house was saved.

said firemen and volunteers from three communities and Acadia National Park did a "remarkable job." confining the blaze to 25 acres of slash from last winter's cutting and stopping within the cut-over area Fifty acres of mixed growth burned at Minot, ignited by a burning barn. At Wayne, fire covered three to four acres of cut over pine growth, LARGEST FIRE of the day was in Township 19, Middle Division, just north of Columbia Falls. It covered 250 acres but did little damage, Wilkins said, consuming mostly meadow grass and brush. In Lubec, a fire burned 50 acres of spruce and 50 of grass. Other fires included those at: Augusta, 35 acres, mostly grass; Lamoine, 25 acres: East Millinocket, 20 acres: Freeport, "fairly large;" Ashland, 6 acres; Bristol, 3 acres; Farmington, 3 acres: West Enfield, 2 acres Waldoboro, 1 acre; Glenwood, 1 acre; Sherman, acre; New Sharon, acre; Norridgewock, "small;" and Scarborough.

Wilkins the Sherman and Ashland fires indicate the dangerously condition is spreading northward. 61 Divorce Libels Filed As Court Opens Here Five libels filed yesterday afternoon raised to 61 the number entered on the opening day of the May term Superior Court.
